Gatekeeper Neophyte
Neophytes are entry-level Gatekeepers, relatively recent initiates to the organization. The moniker 'Phyter' is a shortened, derogatory term for newer Gatekeepers who have yet to earn a distinct specialization. Most recruits embrace it for the many years - sometimes decades - that it takes to specialize in the wilder ways of our many worlds.
There is no single place that Neophytes are drawn from. Military hospitals, special forces drop outs, special forces retirees, prisons, private military contractors, even seminaries and the occasional psych ward, by Assessors with an eye for anyone ‘attuned to the unseen’. In essence, all recruits are unstable, and GATE is the stabilizing compound. The aim of all Neophyte training is to create a living weapon who enjoys staring down an anomalous entity while making bets on who flinches first.
