I'm interested and even have a bit of input on groups that have their own reasons for loving or hating the Metas [B][U][Color=RED]CLARKERS[/Color][/U][/B] The term is based on the name of Arthur C. Clark author of the book "Childhood's End" which is story that revolves around children around the world who evolve into an advanced lifeform. The term is derogatory implying that the Clarker takes a fantasy and believes it to be real. There are many different groups lumped under this blanket insult. Clarkers come in many varieties from slightly off-beat visionaries to down spiritual hacks but they all share one central premise. The event which altered so many is either an act of God, an evolutionary imperative is a good thing. Some of these groups are even trying to recreate the event that made the present crop of Metas. One such group is called "Human Dawn" and they are convinced that the Metas are the answer to the mystery of the radical evolutionary shifts that have never been explained. Human Dawn believes that Homo Sapiens like so many before has become obsolete. They know their time is through, so they don't care if they die so long as their death furthers evolution in some way. The next Clarker group is "The Living Advent Church and they have creatively interpreted the bible to support their belief that the Metas are the coming of God incarnate which is why they can perform what appears to be miracles. And like Human Dawn expose themselves and even their children to wild chemicals and energies in an attempt to become blessed by God. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: These two groups are taken from a table top RP that I bought at a convention and thought might be useful to this game
