Magnus Catharsis Corps

The **Magnus Catharsis Corps** (マグナスカタルシス軍団 *Magunasukatarushisu gundan*) is a Magnus-user organization that deals with supernatural tasks to protect humankind.

## Description

On the outside, the group are known to help humans that are in need and offer public services, usually these are tasked to lower-ranked magnus users to hone their physical and mental state. Though in truth, they are a group focused on solving problems that are of supernatural means such as fighting off demons trespassing in the human realm.

All members of the organization are Magnus mages, a group of people who are given supernatural abilities by their Magnus. The organization are led by the 8 Heavenly Families and have connections with the government of each cities. Authorized members of the organizatio are given police-like authority which allows them to get their hands on classified information and manipulate police records under certain conditions.

It became publicly known after the first demon attack at Nagara East High.

## Logo

The eight red strings of the logo represents the 8 Regions of the human realm. The four arrows represent the 4 combat divisions of the Magnus Catharsis Corps, and the infinity symbol in between represents the 8 Heavenly Families.

## Admission

The organization has an entrance exam for all new candidates, to assess if they are suitable to become magnus mages. Before it became publicly known, they gather applicants through making them believe that the organization is for charity works and public services. To increase their members, the government has ordered schools to increase a student's grade if they were to pass the entrance test and join the organization.

During the first screening, the officials ask each applicants specific questions to assess their intentions in joining the program. Applicants who pass will move to the second stage where they will be told about the organization's true goal, if the applicant was to back out, they will erase the person's memories about the organization's true intentions. The last part of the entrance test will be the Magnus Binding Ritual where the applicants are to awaken their Magnus by forming a contract with their spirit familiar.

Most people who made past to the last screening are either descendants of the 8 Heavenly Families or humans with enhanced spirit awareness and are sensitive to supernatural forces.

After it's public appearance, the Magnus Catharsis Corps recruited new members and publicly revealed its goals. As an entry level, members must join the Project Peace Division before they move to headquarters.

## Promotion

A magnus mage can be promoted through their skill levels. Upon drawing a cross on their palm with their blood, the rank will turn visible. It is also possible for other mages to determine another mages rank by use of a special device called a Power-level detector. The missions given are ranked, Classes A,B,C,D, and S.

Mages may also rank up through **Astraea**, these are star-shaped pins given by the organization as merits to individuals who demonstrate exceptional performance in their given missions. Astraea stars may also be achieved through local tournaments in Nagara and other regional tournaments. The Astraea stars given depends on the tournament's status.

## Ranks

### Bronzus

This is the entry level of magnus mages, they are not yet able to take on the true work of a magnus mage and are usually tasked in public services and charity works for people in need. They will temporarily join the Project Peace Division. They are only allowed to take D-ranked missions which pose no threat as they are not full-pledged magnus mages, these are people who have yet to take the magnus binding ritual. The goal for this is to strengthen ones physical, mental, and emotional state to prepare them for the life as a magnus mage. To rank up, they have to cooperate with the division for at least 2 months.

### Silvyr

This is the lowest rank of magnus mage that are given minor missions such as defeating and exorcizing lower-ranked demons. These demons are mindless and are not capable of communicating. They usually take form of insects that feeds upon humans, causing minor diseases. Simply hitting them with a magnus ability will directly exorcize them.

### Goldyr

Goldyr-ranked mages are sent on missions that pose a higher level of threat, usually B-ranked missions. They are to defeat and exorcise lower-ranked demons that are able to think for themselves, communicate and use unique abilities, most of which are found on the outskirts of the city. Some outstanding Goldyr-ranked members are given tasks with a Diamondium-ranked member as experience, others are given more difficult tasks, almost at the same level of the missions a Diamondium-ranked member takes. Successors to the current Diamondium and Palladimum class members are Special Goldyr-ranked members and are given A-ranked tasks, they are **Goldyr S** class members.

### Diamondium

Diamondium (D) are mages that are sent to take on A-ranked tasks that pose a big threat to the city. Some of these mages work alone and are tasked to defeat higher-ranked demons with intelligence that are present within the city. These demons have special abilities on par with those of magnus users. These demons can not only have intelligence, special abilities and communicate, they can also live amongst people and take a human form. Most of these demons need special requirements for them to be killed. An example is a viscera-sucker demon, where in order to be killed, the mage would need to find and exorcise its lower half.

Top Diamondium Mages become part of the Octagon, depending on how many slots are left by the Palladimum rank. Currently, there are 2 Palladimum members in the organization, which means out of ten Diamondium-class mages, only 6 will be considered part of the Octagon.

Note: High-alert S-ranked missions are the highest level

### Palladimum

Palladimum (P) are mages with immense strength considered to be an anomaly. Currently, there are two Palladimum members, namely Aurora Aquinas and Agustin Santiago. Just like Diamondium-ranked members, they are also allowed to have a successor once they retire. All Palladimum mages are directly considered as part of the Octagon.

Note: High-alert S-ranked missions are the highest level of threat to humanity and deals with the annihilation of the 6 Generals of Hell who set foot in the human realm, when this happens, all Silvyr mages up to Palladimum are to cooperate.

## Teams

Silvyr up to Goldyr mages are to strictly follow the **3-man team Rule**, which is to perform missions as a squad of 3 to 5 members, these squads must consist of a member that has practiced the magnus healing arts. This rule was created by the past Magnus Corps Leader, to reduce the number of deaths and is continued to be practiced even after his death.

Goldyr S, Diamondium, and Palladimum-ranked members are allowed to take on individual missions.

## Divisions

### Crimson Phoenix Division

The Crimson Phoenix Division which is led by Teodoro Pedregon is tasked on patrolling the Chasmic Void which is the main gateway of the Human and Demon Realm. They are to fend off the demons that make their way past the barrier set within the void, Due to the high risk, former members of this division transferred to other divisions. After the death of Crimson Phoenix's Squad 1 member, the division stopped recruiting members for two years. Currently, Crimson Phoenix only has 5 combatants and 2 staffs.

### Thunderbird Division

The Thunderbird Division which is led by Craig Thomas is tasked to patrol locations within the city along with main office members. Despite this, they seem to have a bond with the Crimson Phoenix Division more than the main office.

### Blue Orchid Division

The Blue Orchid Division which is led by Itsuki Suzuki is tasked to deal with public matters and missions with a fee to help fasten the agency's technological advancements. They do varied tasks, that are risky and violent that are too much for the Project Peace Division and police department to handle. Some of these cases are then transferred to the main office where it will then be divided to each divisions. The Blue Orchid Division is the largest out of the three divisions which currently has 30 combatants and 4 staffs.

### Project Peace Division

The Project Peace Division which is led by Eudora Alexandris is tasked to raise funds to develop the Magnus Catharsis Corps and help those in need through charity. They do this by accepting commissions with a fee. The tasks they take are normal orders such as finding a lost pet, cleaning houses or lawns, helping pet shops and other harmless tasks.

## Branches

The main headquarter of the Magnus Catharsis Corps is in Nagara. Smaller branches are found in all regions except Illumna and Hyuncheon after being seized by demons.

## Technology

### Gate Portals

This is a gateway technology mimicked by the Magnus Catharsis Corps by studying the Chasmic Void. Due to lack of finance and sudden order to stop chasmic void dispatches, the project has been temporarily suspended. The prototype gate portals are found in each combat divisions which leads to the main office and vice versa. This is to allow mages in their bases to respond quickly to alarms.

### Intelligent Black Advanced Ring Assistant (IBARA)

This was named after Head of the Science Department, Nathan Ibarra. This is the agency's most advanced technology which acts similarly to a smartphone but with more features that are important for a magnus mage. This is distributed to Silvyr mages and above.
