Why did you all just stare at the poor intern instead of helping them post the anchors? Anyways.
>>26974181I like these! Perhaps the church's overall doctrine is only concerned with degree of worship, rather than the specifics? Like, "as long as you love him enough it doesn't matter how." Here are some of my scattered thoughts on Kindred, if you'd like to weigh in on any of them:
-I was going to have Vox serve as a god of love (specifically leaning on the eros side -- perhaps non-kindred generally refer to him as a god of lust?) and fertility. This explains why some are pushing for the pregnancy cult's legitimacy -- while some claim it's just a breeding cult, others say it should surely fall under the purview of a fertility god. The push for legitimacy will likely eventually succeed. (You lot have been spreading at an alarming rate!) Incidentally, Uki would be another god of love, representing agape instead. It seems fitting for Fuuchan, the brother of one god of love, to have married another.
-In terms of appearance, since Kindred are shapeshifters, a lot of them would choose to look more or less like Vox(anne). Because they regard their deity as the absolute pinnacle of perfection, naturally his form is also regarded as perfect. This is part of why they all seem so in love with each other.
-Lineage-wise, because of the shapeshifting thing and an importance placed on family, different family lines have different tattoos -- typically floral sleeve tattoos -- to identify themselves. The tattoos stay regardless of the form a Kindred chooses to take, so you can immediately identify their heritage. This is partially also because of fanart etc in meta tending to give Vox japanese-style flower tattoos even though he doesn't have anything like that in canon.
