Initiation Ritual
As the ceremony begins, the initiates are given a chalice with which they are to drink its contents. The concoction is part alchoholic, but only to hide the fact that their chosen were’s blood has been mixed in, as a catalyst for the transformation. If not bitten, it will eventually break down in the persons system and be inert. if bitten, it will activate the curse. During the Affirmation, as they recite the oaths they wil take to join the order, they are bitten by their chosen ware, and must speak it to its completion, while they transform. This is the final test, to maintain control while undergoing such a stressful process. if they are able to say it to completion, they succeed. They are biten near the end during the oath of Malediciton because most eventually have a short burst of uncontrollable rage which is understandable, and the other wares are there to hold them back until they regain control. Mentor's questions: Why are you here? - To recieve the curse unbound Who do you see who you can trust? *Mentors name* In this moment what do you most fear? (To this they must merely answer honestly) What do you ask of the Exerticius Lupus? - that if I loose the battle with myself, my brothers end the Beast i have become. Then all the Weres present change and howl, scream, bark, etc, snapping teeth threateningly and extremely close to the candidate on all sides at once. This is the test of courage. It is considered a failure to run, hide, cower or sob. It is considered a pass of they show fear but stand their ground. If the candidate fails, the ceremony is over. They may have one other opportunity in the future. If they pass, the mentor says: Brother/Sister, you will be both soldier and executioner, both monster and beast slayer, both the blade and it's wielder…. now…. speak your affirmation! "I accept these burdens, as the order needs. I accept these burdens, knowing no fear. I accept these burdens, as a servant of the Werebreaker. I corrupt my form with second skin, a veil of cursed muscle and false fur. I stand firm against the demon, the abhorrent, the paranormal. I grant no mercy, I give no ground. With humility, I wear the sigil of my chapter, the symbol of control unbroken. With reverence, I receive malediction, awakening the bestial spirit. With pride, I bare the curse unbound, and join my brothers and sisters in war. I am Hunger. I am Wrath. I am... Lycan!" During the Affirmation, the weres surround the initials and chant the oaths of loyalty. They gently swing tintures of insense, which lessens the transformation madness for the initiates.
Chant: ect arkos eye orvinor, Terra Novus esesstes, Azura. ect arkos spiritos, weos blyssd aeon spiritos, we are loyal to our absolutes. We are reborn and sworn in service to the Great Bear until death. Gloria Orsick. Gloria Exertes. Translation from Celestial: till the stars expire, we will protect this New Earth called Azure. Till our souls expire, we will save the souls of the innocent, we are loyal to our absolutes. We are reborn and sworn in service to the Great Bear until death. Glory to Orsick. Glory to the Hunters.
