The Fellowship

The Fellowship is a doomsday sect in modern-day Japan. Its members exhibit frantic devotion towards their spiritual leader, His Serendipity. The headquarters of the cult is Sanctuary. Well-known members include Quasar, His Serendipity's Wife and the Ministers of Defence, Education, Science, Security and Information. Mayumi Aoi was also briefly involved.

Members are required to forfeit all their worldly possessions upon initiation. Furthermore, they have to subject themselves to a strict hierarchy. In return, they purportedly increase the strength of their so-called alpha waves, which are supposed to provide supernatural abilities like invisibility, teleportation and long-range communication. Alpha waves can also be strengthened by ingesting bodily parts and fluids of His Serendipity, such as eyelashes or sperm.

The written basis of the cult are the The Sacred Revelations of His Serendipity. The cult borrows from several religions and cults. For instance, their guru is regarded as a Buddhist boddhisatva, and many of the Revelations are closely related to biblical scriptures.

The cult teaches that a comet is going to trigger an apocalypse on earth (the White Nights), which only the members will survive, whereas all others (The Unclean) will perish. After the catastrophe, a new society called New Earth is supposed to be built up by the survivors.

After a poison gas attack on the Tokyo subway carried out in part by Quasar, Sanctuary is raided by the police and many high-ranking members are arrested, including His Serendipity.
