The Ascended

It is believed that Ascended are created when there is a Bloom. They are created from people caught in the vicinity of the event and usually gain 'powers' based on the nature of the Bloom. Whilst is was initially believed that there was an actual distinction between Positive and Negative Ascended (dependent upon the outlook of the individual at the time of their Bloom); further study and observation suggests that there is not actual difference between the two other than the psychology and demeanour of the Ascended i.e. there is no difference between Mr Evil and Mr Good other than Mr Evil is evil. Ascended have greatly enhanced physiology including recovery from injury, increased strength, dexterity and intelligence. This may extend to an enhanced lifespan and a resistance to disease.

It is reputedly very hard to kill an Ascended

One of the Laws (of the   Watchers of Gentle Change  ) is that for an Ascended to kill another Ascended is extremely bad for the world, as it is believed to make it increasingly easy for the Others to gain entrance
