I was just thinking of a new faction. Kind of along the lines of Antithesis, but not really. It is using martial arts and ki techniques. The Dōteki A ancient group of humans and supernatural beings that was started many centuries ago in Japan and quickly spread. The group spread from Japan to China, and then around the world. However, with the onset of technology the group slowly lost power and pride as their skills and abilities where no longer needed. However, the remaining members try their best to recruit and train new members. The Dōteki was founded by a japanese man who believed that power spiritual energy could be used to fight, defend, and heal people if they could tap into their spirit energy. Digging up several ancient texts upon the subject, Natsuni began to research the subject with vigor. With hard study and research, Natsuni quickly found his power and delved deeper. He learned how to fight vigoriously, even how to heal people with his new found powers and techniques. He quickly began to take on students, training them to use the same spiritual energy to perform amazing stunts, enhancing their reflexes, and other techniques. Through intensive study, non-supernatural beings learned to act and behave like supernaturals in some ways. This group is uses martial arts and ki techniques to perform abilites and stunts. Some simple techniques involve forming ki balls to attack and spiritual energy to enhance reflexs, strength, and speed. However, to get into this group, one has to be good, a friend to all and no evil intentions in their hearts. If the intent to use these powers to harm people lingers in an applicants heart, they will be refused as the leaders fear this kind of power in the wrong hands. Any none innate abilites are removed, and the points returned. These points can then be spent on "training" to gain new ki techniques. However, to gain more powerful levels of ki, a user must first complete a set amount of one level before advancing to more powerful (And expensive) techniques. (If you want a list of the techniques that will be used, I have a list of them and will PM them to an admin as soon as I can.) Each member will have a tattoo of the factions name somewhere upon their body. Here is the tattoo

The point would be for a different kind of focus. Other then powers/abilities, they would have skills/techniques. Using these they help protect the world against itself....aka General Atrax kinds of people They could work closely with the gods if the gods wanted, or by themselves. The point is they are good and pure. Think of monks XD Monks with attitude and power.

But, what's their purpose? Like when will they consider their goals complete? If everything worked perfectly for them, what must have happened?

Ummm, peace on earth and good will towards man? >.< I don't know. I have not worked out all the kinks. It was something that leap into my mind while I was at work staring at shoes today XD I can think about it a bit harder, or the "gods" can step in and assign goals upon them. Perhaps they have worked with the gods so long that they have become their personal hit men/women and assassins? Being mostly humans with out abilities would make them hard to spot by other super naturals.

Kind of reminds me how old Shaolin beliefs were as quote: "If a man walks up and tries to pick a fight say no, and if attacked you can put them on the ground and then ask again, 'Would you rather talk?'" From what you have said it would be almost taboo to use the skills for assassination unless a very specific set of criteria were met and a member was of a higher class.
A mission for peace between supernaturals and humans, or to bring understanding and enlightenment to the world sounds like a goal they might have. This is merely my opinion though so take it as you will.
