Subject: The Magical Groups (or some of them....)

The Human Aura
 
        The Human Aura is a branch of the Humanis Policlub, recruiting
magical talent from within its ranks to promote the Humanis ideals.  
The group is divided into two sections, the Inner Chamber, and the 
Congregation.  The congregation is all members of the policlub that 
are magically active.  The Inner Chamber is comprised of the type of 
men that Hitler would have been proud to call brother.  Intelligent, 
charismatic, and racist to the extreme.  These men have proven 
themselves to the Humanis cause time and time again.  These are the 
men who plan the long term strategy of the policlub, and plan some of 
it's most vile crimes.
        Members of the Policlub who are not magically active, with the
exception of high ranking officials, are completely unaware that this 
group functions within the Humanis Policlub.  The group acts for the 
most part in a covert manner, keeping their activities secret from the
rest of the policlub to protect the group from outside scrutiny.
        In order for a member to be granted the right to become an 
initiate, they must recruit another person into the group.  Either 
this person is to be a current member of the Humanis Policlub, or be 
recruited into both the group and the policlub.  Most of these new 
recruits will be found at universities, and other so-called hot beds 
of intellectual thought.
        It is rumoured that the leader of the Inner Chamber is the 
head of the Humanis Policlub, but that has never been proven.

Customs:  Members of the Congregation are required to dedicate one 
week a month in research or similar activity for the benefit of the 
group as a whole.  New spells are immediately copied, and stored, 
providing a huge library for high-ranking members.  It is rare for a 
member of the Congregation to be taken into the Inner Chamber, but it 
does happen.  However, the screening process is so intense, that it 
has been completely impossible for any organization to infiltrate the 
Inner Chamber.  The screening process includes voluntary mind probes, 
and the candidate must plan and lead a group to kill a selected 
target, usually metahumans.
 
        GM NOTE:
                There are three members of Alamos 20,000 in the Inner 
Chamber, and fifteen in the Congregation.  Of the three members, one 
is second in command of the terrorist group that has claimed thousands
of metahuman lives.  Two members of the Inner Chamber are government 
employees who hold high-ranking, or sensitive positions within 
government.  The is no public knowledge concerning their association 
with the order, or the Policlub, other then that they are sympathetic.

        Umm, just one note... The Human Aura doesn't have a 
headquarters listed in the file, while all the others do make some 
mention of their origin.  The reasoning for this was that they would 
probably be located somewhere incredibly secret, and their origin 
would be lost, shrouded in secrecy, confusion, etc....
