Editing Genius: The Transgression (section)

===Other Baramins===
A lot of Baramins have followed the route the Oracles seem to be on: the core book writeup mentions the Numinologists, who mourned the end of polytheism and tried to made Wonders that could imitate the old gods, who may have become a subset of the Oracles, but the last of the original apparently died off around the Renaissance. There's also a mention of a Baramin devoted to warped readings of history which exalted their nations, ideals, or [[/pol/|ethnicities]], which eventually evolved into the Phenomenologists. 

The most important dead Baramin, however, was the Dharmists. A group supposedly founded to [[Inquisition|oppose new and dangerous ideas]] in the Indian Subcontinent, their closeness to the original Lemurians (snake-people) and their natural ability to control other Inspired meant that they became the de-facto leaders of Lemuria, with their runes-and-crystals aesthetic becoming dominant. On a more metatextual level, however, the Dharmists took control because they were the archetype of the idea that created Lemuria--a mysterious foreign order of enlightened sages, who controlled the world in secret. For obvious reasons, the Dharmists were all [[Exterminatus|hunted down and disposed of]] after the Peerage finally won the war against the Lemurians, and none survive. Their favoured axioms were Epikrato and Metatropi, which allowed them to perform feats to dazzle the mind, and then slip inside said mind once dazzled.

Then, there's the Numericals, the Baramin of...well, it's not entirely clear yet, but probably eventually something related to contempt for regular mortals. Right now, it's the Baramin of [[Fags of 4chan|oldfags]]. To understand the early Internet, you have to understand that until 1993 it was essentially a private club. Usenet, the only discussion forum and main site on the Internet at the time, could only be accessed by university students, and as such only a small amount of new members joined each year, mostly [[Summer|in September]]. This meant that a single code of etiquette was easy to enforce. But when AOL started offering Usenet access, the site was soon overwhelmed by a massive horde of new members, breaking this once-exclusive club wide open for everybody. The frustration from watching what was once meant to be a shining virtual city on an e-hill, populated by a virtual elite, turn into just a part of regular life, created the Numericals. Right now, they're just a small group of [[butthurt]] Geniuses constantly whining about [[Grognard|how much better things were in the old days]], and it's  something of a stretch to call them a Baramin--they don't even have any powers or favoured Axioms. Then again, the same could be said of the Atomists in the Sixties.
