Servitrak (General)

> Unsung guardians of Multiverse, destroyers of Sterivim, and agents of peace. Servitrak often do the work that Celestials are supposed to do but don't. Joining the ranks of the Servitrak is simply a case-by-case basis but if you qualify, you're in for life... Sometimes death, too.

## Who are the Servitrak?

The Servitrak are sworn protectors of Multiverse, shedding their own lives to promote universal peace against distortions known as Sterivim. Most Servitrak were regular creatures who were exposed to some level of distortion before joining. When becoming a Servitrak, you lose your official Faction Ranking because you are technically no longer the same species you once were.

## How to Join?

Most Servitrak are formed because a distortion formed on their planets, harmed them in some way, and became minorly distorted themselves. While you are capable of joining without this happening, you would first need to find out **how** to contact them and do so. Considering there is no universal phone line you can call, joining is rather difficult. Despite this, the steps involved with being inaugurated are relatively detailed.

First, they will test you to see if you are capable of resisting distortion by putting you into what is known as a, "Distortion Chamber," (some groups do not have access to this and may just attempt to distort you other ways). By doing this, they can roughly determine your rank, as this will tell them what level of distortion you are capable of resisting. Creatures which are incapable of becoming Servitrak will begin to distort at the first distortion level, to which you fail automatically. Succeeding will move you to the second step.

By this point, surviving means that you are no longer the creature you once were. Being distorted partially sheds you from the regular plane of existence and makes you a kind of half-distortion but still capable of reasoning. A strange case of this is with anyone with the Null element. With it, you were always immune to distortion but probably never knew. Absorbing enough distortion into your body will result in the element entering a hyperactive state and you will begin to disable other elements.

At the next step, you are told to release the energy your body has absorbed in the chamber or from being attacked by a distortion. Doing so will let them determine your element. This is done by releasing the distorted energy from your body in the form of an element or by interacting with a Transformation Key. While touching a locked key that matches your element, it will flash, indicating it has become unlocked. From here, you pass, and eventually, you will obtain Transformation Keys and will be on your way to fight Sterivim!

## Elemental Powers?

As a Servitrak, you will have access to a listing of different elemental powers. These powers are used by both distortions and fighters of distortions alike. The reason is because Sterivim greatly resist traditional means of dealing damage and can almost only be harmed by certain elemental powers. By using elements which are better capable of counteracting one another, you are more suited to destroy Sterivim.

There are 28 elements currently recorded (one being a filler for any element that is indeterminant: X), and each one can affect Sterivim in different ways. But wait! If someone only has one element, how are we supposed to counter every Sterivim we encounter? Never fear, because Transformation Keys fill that hole!

## Transformation Keys?

When becoming a Servitrak, you have exclusive access to an element (or sometimes two or more, though this is rare) that you are able to use at any time. Progressing in using your powers will allow you to unlock keys of other elements. You will never change elements entirely, but you will be able to temporarily switch between elements different to your own. Keys are made per person (or rather entity), meaning **no one** is able to access a key that you have unlocked. It is completely unknown how these keys originated or are made.

## Ranking Determination and Checking

Determining the rank (officially called, Sterivim Status) of someone can be done by using the distortion chamber and going one rank below what actually managed to harm the person in the chamber. This is done at first as well as using the above element methods, but after being in the system for a while, you may want to be Checked. The initiation ranking is mostly just a placeholder until you learn how to use your element.

Checking is the system by which your correct Sterivim Status is reported, not using a primitive station blasting you will rips and folds of reality, but instead, you are told to manifest a distortion. Servitrak are never authorized or allowed to create a distortion except for this one time in a very controlled environment. You are put into the distortion chamber as usual, except this time, you will not stand in the main part of it, where you can be distorted. Standing off in a special area, you concentrate your element into the distortion field which is generated and create a distortion with your own power. The strongest distortion you are able to create in a stable environment is your true ranking. For example: If you manage to create one which would be a 9, but it falls apart shortly after being made or when the distortion chamber is shut down, it is unstable and not your true ranking.

Sterivim formed are supposed to be roughly the same-looking as the one who generated it unless it appears as an amorphous being (usually a cloud-like entity). Being a hybrid of the two or something completely different means you formed it incorrectly and it is not your true ranking either.

The final test to be Checked is to be put into the chamber and basically microwaved at level 7 distortion. If you show signs that you could survive it indefinitely, you are Checked. If you have a powerful element or one which was determined to be less stable than others, they may require you to be tested at level 8. The chamber is capable of going up to 10, but only Null elements have ever survived that high during the Checking process.
