Corrections Ministry Specialist
The Inquisition's armored shock troops, called Penitents — their Mortification is voluntary and the pain is perpetual, framed by the Church as 'perpetual penance.'
Overview
A hunched, heavy figure encased in sanctified silver-white alloy plating grafted directly into musculature. Penitential scripture is etched across every surface, glowing faintly where pain-feedback loops are most active — shoulders, spine, knuckles. No face is visible behind the armored hood, only a faint silver eye-glow. Every step is deliberate, burdened by perpetual penance.
The armor grows stronger as the Specialist suffers — bio-reactive alloy licensed from Helix Biotech channels physical punishment into structural reinforcement, and the pain-feedback loops never fully resolve. Slow, devastating, capable of absorbing punishment that would destroy an unarmored body. Other Inquisition operatives give them a wide berth. Their employee-satisfaction surveys come back blank.

The Corrections Ministry Specialist assigned to the Revenant Protocol account has been drafting a complaint under the Ecclesiastical Technology Accord for eleven months; the difficulty: Clean Lives does not promise salvation, only machine recognition; the Accord has no provision for this distinction, and the Penitent's pain-feedback loops do not help with bureaucratic ambiguity
