Cosmic Servants

**Cosmic servants** are a race that are solely only on earth to serve primarily their masters, however also includes all people alike, after they have been summoned down by powerful sorcerers with a specific ritual. They have a natural tendency that forces them to obey orders. Their species also holds their own hierarchy, which is determined by the colour of their blood. The brighter it shines like the stars above, the higher rank they are. A higher rank will be more powerful, and will hold authority over other cosmic servants – being able to also command them to serve.

## General Information

Cosmic servant forms range only slightly from one another, all possessing a fairly humanoid appearance. Some are stronger than others, and will require more strength from the summoner respectively.

When first summoned, a cosmic servant will have basic knowledge of how the world revolves and how the people that inhabit it thrive, thus most can immediately move onto any task once ordered to do so. However, lack of a reason to retain knowledge can get lost quickly within the first few weeks of their life on earth. An extreme example would be that if one was to be completely isolated for their first month, they would need to be taught everything as if they knew nothing about it before.

These servants are bound to their master's orders and are inclined to follow any order given by somebody else, so long as it does not contradict their summoner's. They are useful and unique in that they do not grow physically tired, as well as require near none of the common human needs to survive (food, water, shelter), making them efficient and effective workers.

A number of cosmic servants have been able to break through their servant tendencies in their lives, and what leads up to one becoming a "cosmic person" is unknown. Cosmic people are just like any other people - they are in charge of their own decisions and aim to live life as they wish to. In Camelot, these cases are considered defects, and by law are to be immediately killed and re-summoned as they are seen to pose extreme threat to life. The truth to be taken out of it is that cosmic people are prone to experience emotions of dangerous levels, which is likely to set their gravitational magic off in destructive and self destructive ways. Cosmic people don't usually live their life long afterward, at least not if left alone to their thoughts, as they are known to be prone to thoughts of suicide.

## Bodies and Magic

Cosmic servants are generally immune to common sickness and disease, although it is known that their blood can be sensitive and that their wounds are highly prone to infection. They bleed quickly, however their blood regenerates itself inside the body at a fast pace, too.

The clothing that is associated with their soul will act according to their emotional levels and their health status. Inexperienced or weak servants may only be able to unlock their gravitational magic when they are under extreme circumstances.

The colour of their blood varies from inky black to a shining white. The darker their blood, the lower the rank – and vise versa. Lower ranks will listen to a higher rank's orders if given. Bright bloods are extremely small in numbers, and are recorded to be the most powerful in terms of magic and command over their own species. They are often dubbed as "cosmic kings" due to their superiority.

## When a Cosmic Servant Dies

It is possible for cosmic servants to become deceased. Whilst they do not have internal organs that they depend on, (note that while severe damage in areas may not kill them, it can still render them in a useless and unrecoverable state), they can be killed with enough loss of their blood or with destruction of the soul's vessel. (clothing used in summoning) If their clothing is lost, their fragile souls may become disconnected and doomed, another potential cause of death.

Following death, the servant will regain their un-summoned status and their soul and empty form will return to the cosmos. This process allows them to be able to create their form when summoned again, with the drawback being that their memories will have been entirely wiped. However, it may be important to note that a cosmic servant's soul loses the memories it holds in the process of returning to its star, so if a soul is called back down quick enough (before it reaches its star), they may still hold memories - this has yet to be tested for truth.

## Summonings

Rituals summoning these servants involve multiple steps. In these, a person is known to choose a suitable place high above the ground so that they are nearer the stars. It must be nightfall, and whilst a clear sky is recommended, it is not necessary. One then must enchant a durable piece of clothing so that it is able to act as a vessel strong enough to withhold a soul.

A clear circle is drawn on the ground with white chalk or the like at a radius of 1.5 meters. The inner area inside must be enchanted accordingly, so that the soul has safe passage as it is brought down. The enchanted clothing is left within the center of the circle alongside a drop or two of the summoner's own blood, which will allow the cosmic servant to form and further generate their own. This blood also connects a servant to its original summoner and will implant a healing spell into their mind for the specific servant that was brought down, for the case of any major damages and injuries down the line.

Once the setup is complete, the incantation is spoken with raised hands and palms to the sky. If the cosmos deem one's magical capabilities worthy, the ritual will be a success. This process drains a person whether it succeeds or ends in failure for several many days, as their strength will temporarily be taken as a sacrifice.

### Incantation

*"We call upon the stars so bright,*

*the ones that live above within our sight,*

*shine with all your power in this fateful night.*

*We wish upon you to grant us your might,*

*fall down so that our forces may come to unite."*

## Cosmic Angel Servants

There is a known demon variant of cosmic servants, which are similarly summoned down from hell's night sky. There is little difference, in appearance they are more a reddish colour, have horns and a tail. Demon cosmics on average have more innate physical strength in comparison to earth cosmics, although this isn't true in terms of magic, which abide to the same blood rule.

Little known to anybody until recent times, an angelic form of cosmic servants once existed on earth. They were then believed to be extinct, and were almost entirely forgotten as a whole. These cosmics have brilliant wings and halos, and are capable of functioning fully without oxygen. The great outerspace is where the ones that still live on choose to reside.
