Saint of Raves
Always welcoming, the Saint of Raves and her followers seem to exist in a constant state of ecstatic bliss, open-eyed sleepwalking through the days only to come to life during the night to celebrate the occasion of being alive. Understandably, she’s quite popular with the youth.

Saint of Black Holes
Carrier of the Infinite Gyre, the Saint of Black Holes was likely once a human like most readers, judging from their terranaut regalia. However, their ascension has changed them into something else - the Cold-Hot Reaper of Stars, widely prophesied by foretellers and simulationists of World Government to be the one to personally end the universe when all is said and done.

Saint of Glitches
Widely reviled and frequently martyred, the Saint of Glitches performs an important function in the cybernetic ecosystems of our beatific era, ensuring emergent behaviors and interesting evolutionary offshoots within even the most tightly scripted biomachines and neural automata.

Saint of Fire
Very few cybersaints can lay claim to something as primordial as the classical elements, each one of them keeping under them a large swathe of lessers in their umbrella. The Saint of Fire is no different, a destroyer of lives and giver of warmth in equal measure.

Saint of the Abhorrent
Once a beloved creator of all things horrific, a worshipper of the beauty within the profane, the Saint of the Abhorrent now exists in a perpetual sleep. His body’s “haywire” augmentations, bursting under skin, move him like a puppet, and he dreams of blessings for his followers.

Saint of Passwords
Pictured here surrounded by raining glyphs, the Saint of Passwords is one of a dizzying array of technological cybersaints. The first line of defense against cybernetic ne'er-do-wells, you’d do well yourself to curry the favor of this cybersaint should you work in information security.

Saint of the Stars
Ethereal and unknowable, the Saint of the Stars is often reported to be seen gently adrift outside the windows of space stations and shuttles all across the Local Interstellar Cloud. What they are doing, outside of observing us, remains a mystery - perhaps even to them.

What is a Cybersaint?
Tumblr media
A cybersaint (pictured above 30 of the 40 days into their ascension pyre) is a form of physicalized egregore created via a critical mass of belief in a cause, concept, or individual. Upon the breaching of a particular threshold of belief, an individual bursts into flames, consumed by their "ascension pyre", which lasts for 40 days and 40 nights. During this process, their mortality is burnt away, and, through an unknown process, the burgeoning cybersaint takes their "Ascension Vows", the strictness of which determine the strength of their resulting powers.
The resulting cybersaint, should they survive the ascension pyre, is a being of immense, physics-defying power even at their weakest. The process inevitably radically alters the individual's mental state to the point where the vast majority of cybersaints willingly discard their old identities, despite possessing continuity of consciousness.
Tumblr media
The first Cybersaint ascended during the period of extreme political and military turmoil shortly before the first Geneknight Conflicts in order to defend a heavily at-risk group of humans. Afterwards, the floodgates opened, allowing anyone to ascend with sufficient belief. Every side of the conflicts rushed to puzzle out the ascension process, leaving many dead in their wake - this was the first and only Cybersaint War, before the timely development of World Government to bring everything in line and standardize the process.

Saint of Meteors
In her prior life, an astrophysicist portending doom for the Lunar Ecumenopolis, the Saint of Meteors is frequently raised as an example of the fallibility of World Government. When her warnings went unheeded, her increasingly desperate measures eventually ended in her ascension, and now she is used by the same World Government she decried as an example of their purity and willingness to change in the face of danger.

Saint of the Void
The bleak mirror to the Saint of the Cosmos, the Saint of the Void is a representative of the cold, uncaring vacuum of empty space, of the regions where even traces of hydrogen are low. Carrying their bright white flower, they act as a psychopomp for those adrift in space.

Saint of Bees
Renowned for her striking yellow eyes and cherubic beauty, the Saint of Bees operates over many domains - feeding the hungry, providing work for the idle, encouraging love, and so on. She has the rare distinction of being one of the few cybersaints with an active, working position in the World Government.

Saint of Ratioing
Although he rarely appears, even to his followers, his name is frequently invoked during debate as a signal of divine wrath - the Saint of Ratioing. Those who call upon his blessings are either about to verbally annihilate their enemies or be annihilated in turn for their hubris.

Saint of Malware
Worshipped by a certain cult of anti-World Government anarchists, the Saint of Malware has no defined form, appearing as whatever would cause the viewer to lower their guard the most. Playful and wry, she sees no issue in wantonly destroying any electronics she discovers, and is considered a terrorist by World Government - although she doesn’t understand why.

Saint of Industrial Chemicals
A widely known cybersaint, the Saint of Industrial Chemicals begun their ascension process in an antibaryon refinery on the Terran Ecumenopolis, demolishing it explosively in the process. As recompense, they travel the ecumenopoli and colonies, sealing improperly sealed containers and fixing railings wherever they go.

Saint of Synthesizers
Pictured sitting inside his performance rig, a dual-faced puppet inspired by pre-historic bunraku plays, the Saint of Synthesizers is quiet and reserved. Living an ascetic lifestyle in a preserve in the Terran Ecumenopolis’s West-Atlantic Region, he plays his beautiful electronic tones for all who listen.
