The White Hand

The White Hand (aka The Healers) are a quasi-monastic order dedicated to tending the ill and infirm of all creeds and species. Healers are pacifist and will only heal and advise, they will not fight except in self defense and even then they will not use weapons or armor. They have extraordinary powers they credit to a life of poverty and meditation. These powers include the ability to approach and befriend all non-intelligent entities. They know how to use medical artifacts and will treat friend and foe alike and will never be attacked by intelligent beings except for members of the Red Death.
==Becoming a Member==
Being a member of the White Hand is no easy task. Most members were born into the life, and learning the art of healing takes much dedication. Often times an orphan will be brought up in the ways of the Healer. For this not to be the case requires a potential member to be apprenticed by a Healer until they have achieved the Benevolent Aura. Not everyone is suited for this way of life, and many fail to acieve the aura. Even some raised in the art prove unfit for initiation. Only those who have achieved the aura may wear the garmets of a healer. The Initiation rites of the Order are mysterious, and may varry from region to region.
==Bases==
Healer bases are monestaries in which members meditate upon, though repetative study, the ways of healing. These bases tend to house a number of advanced healing implements; such as Rejuve Chambers, or Medical Robots for sugical assistance.
==Way of the Healer==
While playing a healer, keep the following in mind.
*A Healer must aid the ill, and infirmed of all creeds, and species.
*A Healer must never use a weapon against another being.
*A Healer must not cloth in garments of war (no armor).
*As a Healer one may approach, and gain the trust of all non-intellegent biological entities.
Breaking any of these points puts the Healer at risk of loosing his/her Aura, and thus being expelled from the Order.
