Sorry, I meant no one else knows as far as I know, and the only one I know for sure knows is Richard, and is he human? Yes? I guess?
At what point do you have so many different powers that you actually stop being human?
Demons wanting to destroy the world makes zero sense to me
No horror movie has been able to give a good reason as to why they would go out of their way to do it
Not all demons walk on two legs like a human. So, when they possess a human, they try to walk like how they normally would. That makes deformed human
Tadaa!
It involves a lot of souls, an actual written contract with words, some blood, and the demon climbing inside of the human to bind with the soul (not possession, but still makes deformed human for a bit).
Contracts can be updated or changed, but that involves a lot of souls, and not sleeping for days and days on the demon’s part, and also getting permission from the king of demons to change it, and this is a long process. It’s so horrible that Charcoal, when suggested to get the contract updated, immediately refuses.
Because I thought it’d be funny.
Usually the name helps reign power over the demon when condemning it to hell, so I thought, okay, what if the human says the name in an exorcism and the demon just goes, “ouch, that was a shock. So, now what? What’s your next move? I’m rather entertained. And you’re kind of cute. Maybe I’ll contract with you, what do you say, priest?“
Enough to be like, “my human is interesting. I want to know them. Humans tell each other their names first all the time. So, maybe I’ll tell them my name.“
But these are the higher ranked ones. The top guys. The lesser angellics would just stare at you. I’d like to think they’d look kind of derpy XD
In my world I’d say that’s angellic protection XD
But that means your characters believed enough in the mythological tale to try it, right? Did it take them a while to figure it out still, or was it easy?

that’s my brain being rattled around in surprise and confusion ![]()
Do you ever get the urge to make it 50? A nice round number? ![]()
Sounds like a computer brand… or a programming think (isn’t there something called Linux?) What’s Lunix? Anything to do with the moon?
I’ve read up until Vetlun powers, and I want to ask about “being born“. I was thinking, the other day, about Between Roses and how the cards (human versions) are “born“, and I thought about exactly what that would look like. Cards can only be born when a suit dies. So, you’re not supposed to be able to have two Jack of Spades for example.
I did already have the lore of a card house where there’s a door and occasionally a new card will come out of it and “be born“. They’d be fully grown people and slowly realize their role and also, already have moderate skills. Supposedly, when all the madness was going on, cards would be killed so often that weird cards could “be born“ and come out of the card house and cause mayhem. So, the sane cards who lived there had to make sure the door was closed.
Anyway, have you thought about what it looks like when a new Vetlun comes into existence?
Ah yes, the Higher Authority. I have one of those, too.
I haven’t decided if that’s any God.
Actually,
I did think about it
I wanted to make something that was like the answer to why all religions have a different God. I wanted to figure out something that could be like one singular being or something that appears differently to different cultures based on what humans believed it to be. So the God doesn’t actually exist how the humans imagine it. Might not even be called “God“. The God just appears as whatever the humans decided it was. Does that make sense? But then I thought that might offend the entire world, so I decided to just gloss over it for now ![]()
Do you have some idea for what the Higher Authority in your world is?
Good answer ![]()
I once wrote a poem questioning what nothing is, and concluded, something actually is nothing.
Heheh ![]()
What are the Walls? Can humans see it? If not, what do they look like? Where are they? Tell me about the Walls and how it works.
I’m lost XD The idea of a multiverse already confuses me XD How did you get interested in all this?
If you do read it, I would suggest going into it blind. It’s a surreal, interesting, mysterious experience of a book
That much I’ll say.
