How well would this work for creating
Gerosha Chronicles religious sects?
The Order of the Oraphim:
- Believe that the Abdygalis was put in place originally by God so that men might use it only in the direst time of emergency, to thwart fellow men who make pacts with the demonic.
- That the derivative BEPs are dangerous, and that Marlquaan power in particular should be bestowed only on a few, and used only when there is no good alternative.
- That such power should otherwise be kept away from the majority of men, and that political rulers should not possess it.
- That it is a power that has been corrupted, and will in turn corrupt others.
- That globalism is one of the most pure and original of great evils, and political movements toward a united man-made and man-governed religion must be stamped out.
- God is ever-present, and firm, but not cruel. Desires that in Him, should others find their fulfillment - even at the expense of some temporal happiness. Is not inherently angry or vindictive, but will not tolerate perversion and iniquity forever. Prefers means over miracles, but will resort to the latter if pushed far enough. Uses probability, and exploitation of the collision of conflicting wills of creatures, as a primary means of achieving objective, so that the normal patterns of the laws of nature not be suspended more often than necessary.
- Not completely anti-magic, but opposed to most forms of it, and highly mistrusting of it.
Sodality Church
Similar to the Order, but with a different focus.
- Most teachings wouldn't be out of place in a Church of the Lutheran Confession congregation.
- But they are soft on enforcing sexual discipline, at least in regards to male-female pairings.
- They particularly emphasize having a few things be of common unity; but encourage local chapters to exercise a small level of autonomy.
- Each part of the Sodality has its Modalities that make it up.
- They back the Sodality of Gerosha, a league of superheroes.
- They also don't usually have one singular church building, consider online venues and sharing of teachings on the web (including the dark web) to be valid forms of evangelism, oppose government corruption wherever and however they can (and often suffer for it), and avoid proper corporate structuring.
- They don't use monetary offering systems, as Old Testament tithing never specifies money.
- They seldom let money enter the equation. As such, they can avoid being taxed on buildings they don't own.
- They also avoid having 501(c)3 NPCs threaten to snitch on them to authorities and remove the tax exemptions they don't even have. Which means, they don't buckle under pressure if called "partisan" idiotically by wolves infiltrating the flock, (who somehow don't consider themselves partisan for demanding conformity to state propaganda!)
- They refuse to structure like a mainstream church, arguing that structure is too corporate. And "when the church becomes a corporation, it becomes a prostitute."
And then there's their common enemies, the Triumvirate:
Phaletori
Mad scientist alien cult, obsessed with creating superior races through chimera breeding. Known for kidnapping, and gaining sponsorship through illegal activity. Believe in a global supremacy, warranted through "science."
Hebbleskin Gang
Believe in a state supremacy, and a need to topple God from his throne. Pimps. Thugs. Support despotism. Engage in human trafficking. Also love creating mutants, hybrids, and monsters. Huge fans of executing political dissidents of their religious / political agenda. Have a creed: "Decolarent eam, eviscerate eum" (Off with her head, out with his guts.)
Society of the Icy Finger
- Anglican death cult.
- Believe in appointing an earthly leader, to conquer the multiverse and dethrone God.
- Unlike the Hebbleskins, support using stolen Marlquaan rubies to employ space magic to the same ends as mad science.
- Basically, like the Evil Empire in Star Wars, but without the outfits or lightsabers. Also similar to Hydra in the MCU.
- Moved base of operations to Italy somewhere.
- "The Finger is Chilling!"
- Roger Chillingworth from
The Scarlet Letter was a member at one point.
- Cold-hearted
