User:Xygatrix/Robotism

Robotism was created on the principal that all is governed by how we react to it in the future. It began in the Great Japanese Empire, and was founded by Xygatrix.

It has over 50 registered members.

Concept

Robotism was founded on the concept that the definition of the perfect world is being perfectly uniform, without fault, and always flawless and unwavering, as, of course, robots are. Followers believe the best they can do for the world is help achieve this vision of organization, so no individual may stray from the guidelines. This is not to say that it stands against individuality, in fact, Robotism promotes it. It uses an odd combination of brute force and compassion, wisdom and strength. Balance is all powerful in Robotism. Robotists believe that all is governed by how we react to it, therefore creating a paradox. Paradoxes are held in high regard, as they puzzle even the brightest thinkers. Riddles are also considered sacred.

It is important to point out that most Robotists are greatly interested in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe.

Deities

There are 13 gods in the Robotism hierarchy, listed here, in order of most powerful to least powerful.

Cyborgs

Cyborgs are seen as demi-gods, and are held in great seats of power in the Church. They are the flag carriers for the religion of Robotism, and are worshiped as Heracles was in Greek mythology.

Joining

Anyone can be a follower, but to become a God, or any other high-ranking position in the church, individuals must undergo twelve intense trials to become fully aware, and synchronize with, of the uniform mind of the Robot Overlord, and all of His followers.

Initiation

The initiation to become a follower is simple, you are asked to study the material of Robotism, and then you will be asked 5 questions relating to the matter.

• How old is this religion?
• Who founded it?
• What is our holy text called?
• Name the current highest ranking God other than the Overlord.
• Name all twelve Gods of Oversight, in order.

Hierarchy

In the Robotist system, there are 6 total positions a member may be labeled as.

• Initiate
• Follower
• Android
• Cyborg
• God of Oversight
• Robot Overlord

Each position carries with it more power in the voting process and, of course, bragging rights.

Advancing

To advance in the hierarchy, you must simply prove yourself worthy, and be a devout Robotist.

Becoming a God

To become a God, you must be personally chosen by the current Overlord, and successfully complete the Twelve Trials.

The Twelve Trials

Every trial is presented to each would-be god, each representing it's respective god, and each progressing further up the chain of power, getting harder as one progresses.

• The Trial of Thunder (Lightning)
• The Trial of Earth (Mountains)
• The Trial of Water (Whirlpools)
• The Trial of Fire (Inferno)
• The Trial of Courage (Leadership)
• The Trial of Charisma (Influence)
• The Trial of Gold (Wealth)
• The Trial of Strength (War)
• The Trial of Knowledge (Wisdom)
• The Trial of Life (Immortality)
• The Trial of Magic (Arcane)
• The Trial of Life, the Universe, and Everything (Cosmos)

You must only complete trials up to the god you wish to become, for example, one wanting to become the God of Immortality must only complete 10 trials, while someone wishing to become the God of Leadership must only complete the first 5. The trials can range from your national rank, to your net worth, to your wellness, or even a simple trivia.
