The Sennu
The Sennu are a faction that have dedicated themselves to achieving peace within the galaxy and the protection of all forms of life, but many claim The Sennu's methods are "out of hand" as they often view themselves above galactic law.
Information:
The Sennu protect the galaxy alongside The Bellators, however both factions are different in the majority of areas, for example The Sennu are much more powerful then a Bellators as they harness the power of their soul as well as craft and wield their own unique “Soulforged” which can be relative to a Bellator’s Sentinel. Another area is their relationship with The Unity Council, unlike The Bellators who work directly with The Unity Council, The Sennu work with The Unity Council when they have to normally during times of crisis, the reason is because The Sennu believe that they will not be able to achieve peace with politics as Mentor Takashera once said; “Politics doesn’t solve issue in favour of the people, Politics serve those who wield it”; however both factions are believed to be on good terms. While some may see The Sennu’s “disregard for authority” as arrogance or a flaw in their organisation it does work to their advantage as they are able to operate freely throughout the galaxy without causing any kind of “politic incident”.
In terms of structure The Sennu is led by a council of the numerous mentors of the organisation who collectively make decisions about numerous trivial and sensitive issues. Mentor is the highest rank within the order but there are 2 different types of this rank; the first is “Council Mentors” which are Mentors who have a seat on The Sennu Council and whose attention is diverted towards more wider galactic matters, the second is simply “Mentor” who are Sennu that have surpassed their training and now either use their knowledge to teach the younger generations, run bureaus each with a specific purpose, or simply maintain peace throughout the galaxy by traveling it. Directly below Mentors there are “Doyen” which are Sennu that have completed their training and out from under their Mentor’s wing, but not yet ready to teach or pass their knowledge, instead these Sennu are at the front lines of most battles fought in the name of peace, with some even being given command over a group of Sennu for certain missions. Finally there are “Sennu” those who have completed their training, but are far from mastering or realising their full potential.
As briefly mentioned above one of the most notable staples of The Sennu are their “Soulforged” which is personal and unique to each individual Sennu. A Soulforged is a weapon that is summoned, constructed, morphed, found or otherwise created by a Sennu are their Soul. In terms of appearance a Soulforged can quite literally be anything, a energy sword, a scale shield, a infused dragons tongue, a word, an insectoid monster and so on, if it exists it has probably at one point or another been a Sennu’s Soulforged. While to most Soulforged’s are simply cool weapons The Sennu use to protect them, they are so much more then that as “The Trail of Souls” is an intense and sometimes quite traumatic challenge for a Sennu to overcome as each Sennu’s journey into "The Soulscape” is completely different, and their Soulforged is something that is unique to them and only them.
Different Sennu Bureaus:
1. The Bureau of Silent Justice- is a secretive Sennu Bureau made for one very specific purpose, to deal justice to those who have evaded it and think themselves untouchable. The reason for the bureaus secretive nature is so they are able to go after those whose death by The Sennu's hands would cause a massive problem; for example this includes high ranking members of The Unit Council, members of various hostile races, members of various criminal organisations and even Bellators who have fallen far from the galactic protectors they moonlight as. Since The Bureau of Silent Justice deals in secrets, forgotten crimes and assassination it is obvious that they work in conjunction with various factions within The Shadow Order, more specifically The Cycle of The Broken and The Tribe of The Spider.
2. The Bureau of Soul Safety- is one of the first and currently one of the oldest bureau made by The Sennu as it has a goal that is very important to them. The Bureau of Soul Safety has the goal of protecting The Soulscape and they do this by sending Sennu who are well trained on "tours" of The Soulscape, the reason for this is The Soulscape's deities are a lot more present and active then our galactic ones, so The Sennu mainly protect towns, hunt criminals, help out with very basic task and generally help wherever they are needed. Additionally The Sennu who are a part of The Bureau of Soul Safety also work alongside The Order of The Howling Moon, together both factions guide Dennua during "The Trail of Souls", help individuals from both realms cross over to the other and keep an eye out for any signs of a rising "Foresworn" threat.
