Midichlorians

Midichlorians are an unknown being to many players on AvatarMC. They are said to live in symbiosis within the player models guiding them to victory and success.

Discovery
The first instance of Midichlorians were theorized by New Empire member Xaixas, who claimed "what are Midichlorians?" Midichlorians were later discovered by former Man of Science Father Bill Nye.

Correlation to Bending Power
A common misconception is that Midichlorians provide the power needed for bending. However, they only live within benders: they do not provide the power. Midichlorians can be counted using specialized gadgets in order to measure bending strength and skill. A high Midichlorian count indicates a strong bender.

Religious Beliefs
Many players worship Midichlorians, most notably members of New Empire. The religious practices found today were founded by New Empire member Xaixas, who was later found to have a relatively high Midichlorian count. He constructed The Church of Midichlorians and ordained Father Bill Nye, a scientist, as a priest. Father Nye has conducted several masses and confessions.

Midichlorians (worshippers of the Midichlorian) respectfully refer to each other with the phrase "Master, sir" and, as a greeting, ask each other "what are Midichlorians?"

The mystery of the Midichlorian is perhaps what has allowed this religion to prevail over several other beliefs.

Relation to the Church of Science
Originally a Scientist/Man of Science, Father Nye has testified that many beliefs of the Scientists are compatible with those of the Midichlorians. Lord Newton is said to have created Midichlorians as his personal prophets and Watchers over the realm.
