==Pariahs==
'''Pariahs''', also known as ''blanks'', ''blacksouls'', ''untouchables'', ''psychic nulls'' and ''the soulless'', are entities that have no presence in the warp. The most commonly known instances of Pariahs are the Imperium's [[Culexus Temple|Culexus Temple assassins]] and the [[Sisters of Silence]] of the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]]. Pariahs are the antithesis of [[Chaos]] as their being does not have any presence in the warp and indeed radiates a sense of unnaturalness and unease that is uncomfortable to living creatures and can be painful or even lethal to psychically sensitive beings such as [[Eldar]] or [[Psykers]].
Pariahs are believed to have been created and seeded into the human population by the [[Necrons]] as part of their plan to remove all taint of Chaos from the galaxy. Recently, the forces of the [[C'tan]] known as the [[Deceiver]] have created a new variety of [[Necron Warrior]] that is a terrible blend of machine and organic components, forged from Pariahs and named after them. These [[Pariah|Necron Pariahs]] are undoubtedly the first glimpses of the C'tan's ultimate plan for the [[galaxy]].
==Blanks==
Similar to the Pariah Gene are "Blanks" , also known as "Untouchables", who are able to block out psychic effects within a certain area. This "field" also projects a sense of fear or revulsion towards the Blank on anyone close enough to be effected (Xenos, Ciaphas Cain). A Blank often may not be aware of their own powers and may not be able to control them (Xenos, Ciaphas Cain). If these effects are directly connected to the Pariah gene, or some mutation of it's effects is left unknown. However, blanks have a notably lesser effect on psykers than do Pariahs.
