Your Path on the Road To Ascension ...
You must now choose your path on the road to ascension.
There are 4 paths, that lead to 4 ends. Each end is shared by others of like minds....
(And like stats - see the race comparison table below for 'self' energy starting values, and 'physical world' starting bonus levels)
It is also worth noting that despite your current race, and its values and ethics, when you look deep in your self, you find that you are no longer tied by your previous life...From here,your fate is individually yours...
The paths that are available are as follows:
TOLAH
You may aspire to the ranks of what most call the Tolah. One word summary of race: Warrior
The Tolah are still warriors, even in their ascended state. The are a relatively young ascended race, and most have come from the races of the Jaffa, Tauri, Tok'ra, Langarans, Unas and Re'Tu. They have a weaker life force, although are very quick to draw energy from the world around them, allowing for a quicker personal growth. They sit generally on the side of good and peace, although evil and vice still exist within them.
INDU
You may aspire to the ranks of what most call the Indu. One word summary of race: Mystic
The Indu are generally elder spirits, then ascended. Their ranks are mostly from the races of the Tollan, Nox, the Spirits of Salish, and other mystic races. They have a very strong life force, and are also very quick to draw energy from the world around them, being in tune with the cosmos at a spiritual level. They sit firmly on the side of good and peace, and as such are not skilled at attack and force, but can and do defend well if attacked.
AJNA
You may aspire to the ranks of what most call the Ajna. One word summary of race: Power
The Ajna are the oldest ascended race. They value personal growth, and have a strong life force. Their members have come from a diverse past, including the Ancients, Oannes, Reolo, water lifeforms, and many other races (some long extinct on the physical plane) over the millenium. These would be called a balanced ascended race, although thier interest and skills in battle are limited since they concentrate more on self improvement through focus and dedication opposed to power through conquest.
ORI
You may aspire to the ranks of what most call the Ori. One word summary of race: Evil
The Ori are also an old race, but it is thier unique ideals that really separate them. They value control, view themselves as superior, and have no concept of mercy, patience or tolerance. In short - they are evil dominators, who use whatever methods they see fit to accomplish their goals. And those goals are domination of the known planes of existence.
You will find most of the Ori come from past races such as the Goa'uld, Ashen, Eurondans, the Wraith or even the most advanced of the Replicators' (yes - they overcame the limitations of 'soul energy' through energy manipulation, and a few ascended instead of perished.)
These beings are strong, and focused on conquest. They sacrifice energy harmony with the environment around them, and also do not value internal growth. They are therefore slower to grow personally, although most adept at taking what they want.

The Road To Ascension ...
The path to ascension is not an easy path, nor have many achieved such power to take even the first step.
You have done well.
To move beyond this point, you will need 1000 Glory and Reputation Score, as well as at least 1000 Ascension Points.
From this point, you feel you know more about the road ahead.
Ascension will bring you to a plane of existence higher than this one - but not exclusive of this one. In effect, you can exist in a state of being that allows you to 'travel' to the lower planes of existence, while continuing to exist on the higher planes. This might be compared to being able to dive underwater, but --unlike the fish that know only water -- you can leave the water to walk the earth, or fly in the sky.
On a more concrete level, you know that you will exist as an ascended being - although there are more than 1 end points in ascension. Your frame of mind will guide you to one of 4 types of ascended beings....each with specific strengths and weaknesses.
Additionally, you will be able to exert your influence on the material world, and since existence is much larger than you ever imagined, you will have the opportunity to shape the destiny of a fairly large realm of that existence. Galaxies are but puddles on an ocean of existence! With your increased power, knowledge and will, you can shape those galaxies to your liking, or simply let it grow.
Since all things are one, this realm of yours will also contribute to, or drain, your own personal energy.
And your personal energy, and growth, will establish your own worth and power on the ascended plane, co-existing with other ascended beings.
Here be warned - if you lose enough of your own personal energy, you will not be able to stay on the ascended plane, and will descend to the material world, again tied to that existence, as the fish is to water.
Your Ascension Power Points - [number of points] of them - will allow you to build up your personal and realm strengths. While you can gain more power in the ascended plane, this immediate burst of ascension energy will determine your rank and worth within the society in the already established higher plane. Will you arrive as a weak being looking to make a name for yourself, or will you arrive as a dominate force? The choice is yours, to the extent that you can garner power within this realm with which to contribute to your ascended life....
As a last note, you decide that you will leave a shell on this plane, tied to your ascended self, but drained of all power you have.... In real terms, this means that you will have a realm within this existence (game server), with no weapons, no covert skills, no unit production, no wealth, no armies, etc -- in effect, you will once again be new to this world.
If this new empty and powerless being can amass enough power (again) then you trust that you will be able to tap into that from the ascended plane, in order to make your higher self stronger still...but that does seem a long way away at this point in time.
