The Sephirot are the chosen humans who receive the powers of the Ten Dimensional Deities. The Ten Dimensional Deities are the gods who preside over the specific branches of the Sephirot, and all of them support the use of humanity to help fight against the Original One. The members of the Sephirot are blessed with extraordinary powers and have all limits on their potential removed. Also, by divine rule, one of the members always betrays the others. In total, counting the modern group, there have been three different Sephirot. The first existed 4000 years ago and is presumed to have succeeded in the fight against the reapers because humanity still exists. The second existed 2000 years ago and is the basis for the stories of King Arthur and the Round Table. King Arthur was the 4th member of the second Sephirot and is also the only known possessor of a Divine Weapon in human history. He was betrayed by Mordred, the 5th member of the Sephirot, who was the 1st and until now, the only possessor of a Rapture Weapon in history. The second Sephirot was eventually successful in its battle against the Reapers and over time their heroics were reduced to mere legends.

As implied above, each member of the Sephirot represents one of the 10 different dimensions that make up the known universe. These ten are: Kether (crown), Chokmah (wisdom), Binah (understanding), Chesed (mercy), Geburah (severity), Netzach (victory), Tiphareth (beauty), Hod (splendor), Yesod (foundation), and Malkut (kingdom). Certain dimensions are considered to be the domains of certain beings; the gods reside in Kether, the Reapers reside in Binah, and humanity resides in Yesod, Hod, Malkut and Netzach. Human legends are often related to these dimensions as well; Mt. Olympus was originally based off of the God's kingdom in Kether, the Heaven we know is actually the dimension Chesed, while Hell is Geburah. The residents of the dimensions in which humans reside are all unaware of the existence of the other dimensions with the exception of a select few.

The current members of the Sephirot are all between the ages of 13 to 20, and are the youngest group ever seen so far. The members include: Kira Makoto, Rika Alldrive, Mao Nova, Sora Sendo, Ryu Naraka, Erza Cross, Aaron Lotus, Maribel Frost, Faust Bloodstone and Kai Discus.
The first member of the Sephirot is Kira Makoto, meaning that he is the representative of the dimension Kether. His soul weapon's name is literally: Sephirot, and it is a scythe with a black, red and silver design that has evolved into the Anathemorgue Class. The power it gained was the ability to transform into a Reaper, and Kira tends to offer a pint of blood in exchange for doing this. The weapon has an affinity for the divine energy element and has a purity level of around 70%. Kira was the last member of the Sephirot to join because he was reminded of his past as a demigod and returned to the reapers, making him the traitor. After being defeated, however, he lost access to this form and was reduced to a human once again.

The second member of the Sephirot is Rika Alldrive, meaning that she is the representative of the dimension Chokmah. Her soul weapon is known as Elysium, which is an intricate dagger with an affinity for wind, and a purity level of 26%. The weapon has evolved into the Chronideus Class, making it one of the five members of the Sephirot to be in the negative 6 evolutions (alongside Kira, Mao, Faust and Ryu). Out of all the Sephirot, Rika is considered to have the highest IQ and is an engineering genius. She was the fifth member to join the Sephirot and is considered to be the weakest.
The third member of the Sephirot is Mao Nova, who is the representative of the dimension Binah. His soul weapon is known as Erebus and it is a classic European style double edge sword with multiple chains attached to the hilt. It is of the Unique - Class, and it has the ability to freely manipulate its chains as well as lengthen or shorten them. It has an affinity for darkness and a purity level of 95%. Mao was the sixth member to join the Sephirot and he is by far the youngest (only 13), however he is incredibly strong for his age.
The fourth member of the Sephirot is Sora Sendo, who is the representative of the dimension Chesed. His soul weapon is Amaterasu, and traditional sword with a white blade and golden hilt. It has an affinity for light and a perfect purity level. It is of the Divine Weapon Class and has the ability to grow stronger the longer it battles a stronger opponent. Sora was the 9th member to join the Sephirot, having been dead until he was resurrected at the request of Ryu when the Reapers arrived on Earth. |

The fifth member of the Sephirot is Ryu Naraka who is the representative of the dimension Geburah. His soul weapon is Ragnarok which is a classic European style sword that is all black with an eye design along the center of the blade. The weapon has an affinity for darkness and has a purity level of 100%, making it the second weapon to have a perfect purity level in history (it is theorized that weapons in the Alpha familia always have 100% purity based on the fact that King Arthur also had a perfect light purity level; Sora's purity level later confirmed this theory). Ragnarok has evolved into the Rapture Weapon Class making it, once again, the second one in history, the first being Mordred 2000 years ago. Ryu is the leader of the Sephirot and is almost unanimously considered to be the strongest.
The sixth member of the Sephirot is Erza Cross who is the representative of the dimension Netzach. Her original weapon was known as Sol, but it was destroyed in her first battle with Ryu. After this she attained the former god Helios' weapon, Apollo, which (due to the fact that it was not originally hers) possesses a personality of its own and can manifest a body only visible to Erza. Apollo is a very intricately designed katana with a sun design on the hilt, with an affinity for fire and a varying purity level dependent on her own willpower. Apollo is a Unique + class weapon, and the effects of the evolution are unknown since Erza obtained it post-evolution. Erza was the second member to join the Sephirot and is well respected by her peers.
The seventh member of the Sephirot is Aaron Lotus who is the representative of the dimension Tiphareth. His soul weapon is known as Paradox, which is a set of twin swords, one with a black design and the other with a white one, that has an affinity for raw energy and an unknown purity level. Those with an affinity for raw energy are capable of absorbing and taking on the characteristics of any elemental based projectile that has a relationship with the Tiphareth dimension (in other words all except chaos energy and matter). Paradox is the only know weapon to have evolved into two separate classes due to the infusion of divinity within Aaron's soul. Paradox's Unique + Class evolution greatly strengthened Aaron's ability to absorb other elements, and it's Unique - Class evolution granted him the ability to physically manipulate the shape and form of raw energy into many different tools (his favorite being small platforms on the bottom of his shoes which he can use to fly with). Aaron, however, does not master the use of the latter abilities until the events of the Blood for Blood Arc. Aaron was the first member to join the Sephirot and is known to have the highest stamina among them.
The eighth member of the Sephirot is Maribel Frost, who is the representative of the dimension Hod. Her soul weapon is known as Illiaster and it is a pair of twin pistols with an affinity for water and a purity level of 53%. Illiaster is of the Magi Class and therefore Maribel can use its powers without summoning it, however she still prefers to use them in combat. Out of all the members of the Sephirot, Maribel is known to cause the most collateral damage with her attacks due to their massive range and destructive nature.
The ninth member of the Sephirot is Faust Bloodstone who represents the dimension Yesod. His soul weapon is Dante, a red staff with an affinity for electricity and a purity level of 24%. It has evolved into a Super Case Demon Weapon. Not only does Faust have the ability to use his weapons powers without summoning it, he is also capable of freely controlling the level of energy in his body. This means that he can suppress his power causing him to undergo a reverse transformation (change forms into a state weaker than your original) six times. On top of this, he is also able to store his energy and allow it to build over time, and then release it when necessary, giving him an incredible amount of power temporarily.
The tenth member of the Sephirot is Kai Discus who is the representative of the dimension Malkut. His soul weapon is known as Asura, which is a pair of twin gauntlet with an affinity for matter and a purity level that varies with the emotional state of its master. The weapon has evolved into the Alphum class which granted Kai a massive boost in physical strength and speed. Out of all the Sephirot, Kai is considered to be the strongest without using a soul weapon.
The sixth member of the Sephirot is Erza Cross who is the representative of the dimension Netzach. Her original weapon was known as Sol, but it was destroyed in her first battle with Ryu. After this she attained the former god Helios' weapon, Apollo, which (due to the fact that it was not originally hers) possesses a personality of its own and can manifest a body only visible to Erza.
