Origin Trial
The Origin Trial... the most closely guarded secret when it comes to information about
Origin Force and
Origin Portals only the elite of the elite know about it. For some reason however no one is able to cast
Mind Lock on this particular topic or any topic relate to Origin Force. Despite this almost everyone who knows about it has their own security measures in place to prevent this information from getting out.
"This information is extremely sensitive but as you can see I did not force a mindlock upon you. This is… because I cannot, multiple people have tried but failed and therefore I have to rely on other, old but trusted methods. Do not reveal this information to anyone, otherwise I swear to you, the black hand will find you, I think Silberkugel can testify to their effectiveness. I can only say “grey cloud incident”. " ~ Doran van Baharuth
Anyone who enters an Origin Portal will take part in one of these Origin Trials. The trial can be completely different from each other and to this day no one has figured out any kind of pattern, but a few things are known. Before entering there is no way to predict what is inside and more importantly when is inside... time is extremely chaotic inside these Trials and it is possible to travel into both the past and the future. But it is a lot more common to travel either into the past or present than into the future. It is estimated that in the last millennia there have only been around 20 to 30 trials that took place in the future.
Furthermore not everyone is able to enter into an Origin Portal and the exact metric for entering is not known but there is definitely a connection to someones potential. If one is granted entry into an Origin Portal and is faced with a trial that person becomes an Origin Champion, is granted a more sensitive connection to the Origin Force and feels a pull to its power.
The possibilities for Origin Trials are basically endless but they have a few things in common, firstly each and every trial consists of three parts.
- A Scenario
- An Objective
- An Origin Artifact/Blessing
Scenario
The scenario refers to the largest event that occurs at the time and place to which the Origin Champion is transported. This could range from Natural Disasters to Political Intrigues but also from Electing the Village chief to the Reforestation of a small natural preserve. Well basically anything. The Origin Champions will be transported into the body of the most similar being that existed at the time of the Scenario and tasked with an Objective that Individual was unable to complete.
Objective
The Objective refers to the individual task for each Origin Champion. Any Origin Champion is tasked with changing the current Scenarios outcome this can be in any way shape or form benefiting the current circumstances and being occupied. These objectives also usually overlap with the personality drives beliefs and goals of the Origin Champion. Some more difficult trials however do the complete opposite, tasking the champion with going against everything he stands for, testing their resolve. These Objectives are not relayed to the champion and sometimes it can be difficult to even discover ones objective, but there are accounts of champions who say it gets clearer the stronger the connection to Origin Force becomes. So figuring out the objective is also part of the trials relying on the instincts and potential of the champions.
Origin Artifacts/Blessings
This... this is why all of this is under lock and key. If a champion manages to complete their objective they are rewarded with an Origin Artifact or Blessing imbuing them with power and strength on another level. This is why every major power is desperate to control as many Trials/Portals as possible sending their elites into them and strengthening heir power. These forces have also been cataloging these powers and preparing promising youths in order to heighten the chances of receiving them.
It is also important to mention that Champions can enter the same scenarios as others at the same time but have different objectives. So it has occurred multiple times that champions interfered with each other, however it is an unwritten rule that if avoidable one should not confront other champions because first you could be interfering with your own faction just years in the past or future and it is difficult to tell who is on whose side.
