Getter Rays

Getter Rays are a mysterious source of energy, that are said to be the embodiment of Evolution. It is believed that Getter Rays were used by the Gods when creating Mankind. The power generated by Getter Rays is believed to be nearly unlimited, if someone is able to harness them properly. It has been theorized that it is possible to control Getter Rays with magic, although there are no documented events where Getter has been used in a magical spell.

While Getter Rays are a sounce of energy, and seem to cause rapid evolution to those who are exposed to them, Getter Energy is also extremely dangerous. A beam of Getter Energy is hot enough to melt through the toughest metal, and is known to literally evaporate living creatures caught by it. Even at lower exposure levels, Getter Rays can cause people to completely lose their mind, and go into an insane fury.

In the early Ages of Arcenor, few people actually knew of Getter Rays, let alone what they did. Those who did manage to get exposed to them would never be the same again. People who got exposed either died, or would eventually would come to almost worship them.

One of the most notable figures in early History who had been exposed to Getter Rays was Kang the Crimson Axe, a General during the Aesonian Civil War. Although it is not known where or when he was exposed, he most certainly showed symptoms of Getter Ray exposure. Kang was regarded as an extremely hotblooded warrior, and borderline insane. He would go berserk in battle, and would often call upon the support of "Hayato" and "Benkei", two people that most assumed were either his guardian spirits, or imaginary.
