Editing Genius: The Transgression (section)

===Etherites===
The Baramin of crackpot "scientific" theories and conspiracy nuts. They believe that a single unified theory can explain anything in the universe, without stupid things like 'relativity', 'quantum mechanics', and 'genuine magic' butting in. What that theory is depends on the Etherite in question, but it can range from somewhat plausible, to based on the Luminiferous Ether (this is a popular one, and the faction is named after it) to 'UFOs set up Earth as a science experiment and occasionally beam up humans as samples' and '[[Racial Holy War|The Jews control Big Pharma in order to trick people into believing in vaccines]]'. They're a riff on the [[Mage: The Ascension|Sons of Ether]], with science for them not being about forming theories based on facts but instead forming facts based on theories, along with some of the worse Victorian era attitudes. They also tend to go from charming and quaint to homicidal and rabid in seconds flat the instant someone questions one of their pet theories, and for this reason are the favored assassins of the Lemurians.  Their favored axioms are Katastrofi and Skafoi, the better to build a jetpack to go find the people who tell them they're wrong and a raygun to zap them with.
