Transcender: they are like holy knights, using the combined power of warrior skills and monk attributes. They also use the power of the Gods. They can fight on the front line or be support characters in the back. Transcenders are a special class that combines attributes from Necromancers, Ritualists, Warriors, and Monks. They also introduce a new type of weapon: the battle staff. Battle Staffs will be discussed in more detail in the weapons section.

Transcenders also introduce a new type of spell: the aura. Auras are maintained enchantments that affect the target and creatures around them within the aura’s range. The aura follows the target wherever it goes. It is displayed by a colored light field (similar to the color of a boss) that surrounds the target. A faint light or smoke also shows emanating from the aura. How far the smoke goes depends on the range of the spell. Aura spells can be either close-range, mid-range, or long-range.

Transcenders also introduce a new spell concept. Using the power of Lyssa, transcenders can take control of an allied holy servant. This will allow the player to play as the servant and control the transcender as a hero or henchman. Each type of servant has their own unique skill set, attributes, energy, armor, and health. Attributes, energy, armor, and health will be determined by the level of the servant.

Max health: 480. Max energy: 30. Energy Pips: 4

Story:
Many years ago, atop the tallest mountaintop in Tyria known as Tyriana, a temple was built to honor the Gods. The Gods favored this temple and made it a sanctuary where people could learn about and serve the Gods. But this temple rested on the tallest mountain, making it almost impossible to reach. Only the chosen ones, appointed people who bear the mark of the Gods, were able to reach this temple. At the base of the mountain, there is a village called Lushare. Only ones from this village can become chosen ones. It was the elders of this village that built the temple. The journey is long and perilous, filled with traps and challenges to test the chosen ones. The strong ones survive and make it to the temple, while the weak ones fail. Those who fail are sent to a shrine halfway to the temple. Here, the ones who fail can redeem themselves by training and trying again. But if a chosen were to fail twice, the person would be sent back to Lushare and would live the rest of their life in shame. But the chosen who make it to the temple become Transcenders. Once their training was complete, they could leave the temple to spread their knowledge and aid those in need or stay and help the temple by teaching or doing chores. The longer a Transcender stays, the more powerful they become.
One day, a traveler named Sheran came to the village. He had learned about the great temple and wanted to take the challenge. He had lived a life of shame and wanted to redeem himself. The Gods accepted his request and he took the challenge of the Gods. He went through all challenges the Gods gave him and became the first non-chosen to ever reach the temple. He became the leader of the temple, teaching new chosens the ways of the Transcender. He is the most powerful Transcender in the Great Temple.
