Left Hand of God

"All is dust."
 The Order of Oblivion represents God's aspect as The Destroyer. The Adepts of this rare and extremely dangerous Order are not so much individuals anymore as they are vessels of the Void. Living harbingers and gateways through which Oblivion sucks all it can into its gaping maw of absolute nothingness.
Aspect Of God: The Destroyer
AKA: The Order of Destroyer, the Order of Entropy, the Suicide Order, the Void Order, the Nihilists. 
Destroyer Degrees
== Facts: ==
-Individual members of the Order of Oblivion are known simply as 'Destroyers.'
-Death, decay, stagnation, entropy and oblivion, all these and more fall under the purview of the Order of Oblivion. 
-With but a touch a Destroyer can cause something to cease to exist.  Both matter and energy are susceptible to this, although there is an intense theological debate about how this power affects spirits.
-Oblivion is the opposite of all of Existence, the absolute destruction and cessation of anything and everything. Absolute Oblivion does not exist, otherwise we wouldn't be here to talk about it. But the potential for it does exist, and there appears to be a plane to the Omniverse which is pejoratively labeled Oblivion or the Rim of Oblivion.
-Destroyer's capacity for destruction and ability to cancel out other's powers makes them elite fighters on the battlefield, able to take down the enemy's champion warriors.  However, their need to get up and close in order to work their craft means they will often need covering fire until they close distance.
-The Adepts of this Order are unhealthy individuals. They have become filled with despair over life's difficulties and honestly yearn for self-destruction as a means of twisted salvation. In their hearts is such a desire for release from Existence that they have emptied themselves of 'self' and in doing so have created a void within. This void connected their souls to God's Shadow, and now they exist as living vessels of Oblivion.
-Destroyers tend to be damaged people. They may come across as happy or cynical, fulfilled or clearly despairing, healthy or unhealthy in appearance. But all members of the Order of Oblivion are dead on the inside - it's just that some are better at hiding it than others.
-Destroyers are extremely dangerous. And not just to other people - the leading cause of death among the Order of Oblivion is self-termination. That's what happens when the center of your being, your very soul, has become a gaping wound leading through to annihilation.
-From a storytelling perspective, Destroyers are great characters to use for stories of tragedy, despair, and great danger. But they can also be used as stories of hope and achievement. Imagine having an Adept who has a strong temptation to suicide but manages to overcome it and fix their life. How many stories and scenarios could you play that in? Probably a few, and suicide is a real-world issue, so there would definitely be an audience for it.
-The two primary abilities of the Order of Oblivion are Cancellation and Summoning the Void.
-Cancellation is the power to cancel out the abilities of other Supernaturals. This power appears to work across the board regardless of that ability's origin, which means a Destroyer can often cancel out the powers of several different kinds of Adepts at once. The only known exception to this are powers based on Destruction, so a Rift would not be able to cancel out powers of Destruction wielded by Destroyers, Theists who follow The Destroyer, Fallen who serve Abbadon, etc.
-Summoning the Void means opening a gateway to Oblivion itself. This creates a gaping black hole that sucks in everything it can, destroying and decimating everything in its surroundings. The Destroyer will be immune to the damages because they themselves are usually the black hole through which everything gets sucked into.
-The Order of Destroyers are closely related to the Order of Reapers, and most Adepts view the Destroyers as an extreme version of the Pale Order.
-Destroyers don't really have a lot of creative, practical abilities - their powers are all about death and destruction. They are living engines of mass destruction and as if that wasn't bad enough, they are all suffering from mental health issues too.
-Destroyers can be very useful in a fight. They are living weapons whose powers of mass destruction can decimate or even annihilate enemies who have them greatly outnumbered. Of course, the problem with Destroyers and their abilities is that they lack the precision of similar Adept Orders. Destroyer powers tend to be blunt and affect a wide area, and they don't discriminate between friend and foe.
-Witches and other magick-users who attempt to use spells on Destroyers quickly come up against a problem. Destroyers are living vessels of the essence of Oblivion. Spells and enchantments attached to them have a habit of dissolving when a Destroyer unleashes said powers. Therefore, using magick on the Order of Oblivion will require greater skill and power than it normally would with Adepts of similar experience.
-Thankfully, Destroyers are quite rare. To become a living vessel of Oblivion requires a true and lasting desire for self-destruction. 
-The Order of Fallen are considered by most Adepts to be the 'opposite' of the Order of Infinity. Yet there are some who argue that it is actually the Destroyers who are the nadir of the Theists. After all, if God is the supreme and infinite being, wouldn't that make Oblivion the closest thing He has to an opposite?
== Lose of Willpower: ==
It doesn't pay to glare into the eyes of a Destroyer during combat, for many who do are often struck by an overwhelming sense of nihilism. The Order of Oblivion is known as the Nihilists for a reason, and that reason has much to do with the inner-turmoil it takes to become a Destroyer. 
The Destroyers possess the power to destroy many things but one of the most unsettling of their powers is the ability to destroy a person's very will to live. Enemies who make eye contact with a Destroyer often find themselves sapped of all drive or energy. Stories are told of powerful Destroyers whose enemies don't even bother to fight back! 
It's unclear whether this ability is developed across the board with all Destroyers, or is a symptom of the more unhinged members of the Order. 
== Natural Alliances: ==
-Order of Fallen = Fallen who follow Abbadon (or possibly Apollyon) may develop abilities centered around the concept of Destruction. These Fallen have managed to enter into alliances with certain Destroyers by promising them a chance to get back at the Creator who cursed them with the gift of life.
-Order of Reapers = Death and Oblivion are really just variations of the same core concept. Reapers and Destroyers get along just fine, especially when you realize that it's the Reapers who will be ferrying the Destroyers across to the other after they get themselves killed. A very surreal relationship exists between these two Orders.
== Powers of Destruction: ==
The Destroyers can call upon 'God's Left Hand' - all the powers of destruction itself. Destroyers harness this power in a variety of ways and the threat they pose is considerable to the other Adept Order. Very few can stand against a Destroyer for any length of time, let alone actually defeat one.
