the mystic cult meme.

Some have called them a cult, others a lecherous brood of heathens- but only those initiated into the Society know the truth. A secretive pagan sect, they gather to their midnight masses in lush, decadent chantries and temples to celebrate their faith the only way that matters: sexually.

Through the years, the Society have devoted themselves to worshiping their mass of gods and goddess through a wide variety of sexual ceremonies and rituals that represent a kind of organised chaos, structured hierarchically but open to any and all kinds of practises. Costumes, body-painting, instruments and drama are all part and parcel of Society life. Supposedly, this communion is not one-sided, either; in return it is whispered that their gods generously reward those who please them with wealth, power and, most notoriously of all, dark magic.

So who do you follow? There are enough deities to choose, after all: there's Invictus, insatiable god-king and personification of power; his surehearted bride Cybelle, mother, lover and nature queen all in one; the delicate nymph goddess Narcissa, guardian of love and romance; her wild-hearted brother Hypnato, cloven-hoofed lord of the hunt; Febricia, the winged, armored goddess of war and heated love; even the eternal cuckold Terminus, the many-horned keeper of secret and forbidden passions. Those these compose the main pantheon, there are said to be many, many more minor deities, all admired and loved.

What will you ask them for?




ROLES
Ⅰ - The Devotee
You're just an average worshiper, looking to please your lustful patron deities in any way you can.
Ⅱ - The Uninitiated
Maybe you were kidnapped or drugged- maybe you just stumbled on all of this. Whatever the case, you're here now and either you'll have to either remember your prayers or try to resist... if you can.
Ⅲ - The High Priest(ess)
A seasoned worshiper, you not only spread the word but preside over some of the more complex and arcane rituals. Many are corrupt and are quick to take advantage of their position of authority.
Ⅳ - The Temple Virgin
Perfect, pure and untouched, these devotees (male and female) are married to none but their gods until their time comes. Supposedly. May the gods have mercy whosoever decides to break their vows.
Ⅴ - The Idol
To your followers, you're a living god: an omnipotent being made flesh, to be worshiped and to have your every whim satisfied. You could either be seen as a human incarnation or an actual, literal god.
Ⅵ - Other
Make your own role!

PROMPTS
Ⅰ - Sex Magic
The most vanilla option. Lovemaking may grant incredible power if carried out in the name of a certain deity- the more passionate, the better.
Ⅱ - Sacrificial Deflowering
Anyone can sacrifice blood or money for the gods. Only a few can sacrifice their virginity. Light the candles, choose your partner and lay yourself across the altar for spiritual enlightenment.
Ⅲ - Orgies
If two people can produce immense power, a group could cause miracles. The gods smile upon those brave enough to throw caution to the wind and lose themselves with their fellow man.
Ⅳ - Ceremony and Ritual
Performing arcane sex magic in front of a congregation is a particularly potent way of showing your devotion. Ceremonies range from simple exhibitionism to extravagant affairs involving costumes, body painting and masks.
Ⅴ - Heresy
Did you fall for a temple maiden? Do you want to escape? Or do you just like to live dangerously? The High Priests come down hard on those who refuse to abide by their strict laws, but some wilder gods appreciate a rebellious heart, even if it may lead to...
Ⅵ - Confession and Penitence
Have you sinned before your masters, or do you just have a guilty conscience? Time to prostrate yourself and accept whatever punishment fits your crime.
Ⅶ - Divine Love
Not many get the chance to show their devotion to their gods in person. But have they come down seeking praise and worship, or are they a far more wrathful entity than you could ever have imagined?
Ⅷ - Impregnation
Carrying the child of a high-up or even of a god is a great honor; the act of conception must be carried out according to strict conditions and drugs are often used to guarantee performance. These may also allow males to carry and females to impregnate.
Ⅸ - Channeling
Many devotees may, under the right circumstances, channel the attributes of their patron deities during sex- these may incarnate as anything from the physical (anything from wings to claws to even changes in size) to the supernatural (unnatural strength, certain magical powers, inhuman stamina or beauty, etc).
Ⅹ - WILDCARD
Make your own scenario!

Luka -OC- OtA

[personal profile] forrestertailor 2024-06-19 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Luka
Age: Looks 37 but much much older
Role(s): Worshipper, a slacker soft of high priest or an idol who’s 100% faking it to get off
Preferred Scenarios: Everything but impregnation. For deflowering he would be the deflowerer rather than the defloweree (that ship has long since sailed)
Febricia for sure, as Luka has been a soldier almost as long as he’s been around, with a side of Hypnato for funsies
Yes: Size difference, drugs/inebriation, bondage, aphrodisiacs
No: Anything with kids, gore, or non-con.
Short Character Description: Luka is an ancient vampire, older than this cult by at least a millennia. He is tall, dark, handsome and built to pull down stone walls. While not the sharpest tack he is certainly capable, engaging and enthusiastic about his role in this cult. And if he can leverage his good looks and charm for a cherry position as a false idol, he absolutely will.
lifeinit: (due consideration)

Yaeko Kitagawa | Persona 5 (AU) | OTA

[personal profile] lifeinit 2024-06-19 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Yaeko Kitagawa
Age: 18
Role(s): Uninitiated (stumbled her way in, willing and curious participant once she figures out what's going on) or Devotee
Preferred Scenarios: Cybelle or Narcissa are the deities that'd call to her the most. Down for most prompts, especially Ceremony (preparing for as much as conducting) or Channeling.
Yes: DID SOMEBODY SAY BODY PAINT--
No: noncon, bathroom stuff, vore; power-imbalanced relationships are iffy at best and not an F/M option; would rather discuss impregnation first
Short Character Description: Weird Art Kid who just got out from under an emotionally abusive teacher who was stealing her work. Not a dominant bone in her body unless she's doing art things.

Rathna | OC | OTA

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-19 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Rathna
Age: 20-something
Role(s): Somewhere between Devotee, Priestess, Idol, and Other
Preferred Scenarios: Cybelle, Hypnato, and Terminus are all reasonable deity assumptions. She's likewise either definitely or assumed to be Channeling more often than not, and well past being the defloweree but more than happy to help someone else with that.
Yes: There's not much Rathna's not down for, really.
No: noncon, vore, bathroom stuff; no impregnation (Unless she's the one doing it and has no further responsibility to the child.); don't come into things expecting romance, as she's not wired for it
Short Character Description: Gave up her name as a Get Out Of Arranged Marriage Free card, and now she's a naga. In her normal setting, she's a sex worker; that can either apply here as Other, or not apply as she's tremendously thirsty anyway.

[[Hey there! Interested in a vampire and a naga getting it on in some temple? My guy would be more of a Febricia follower but he's also a big slut and could definitely align with Rathna about the worship of Hypnato. From one naga lover to another, your girl seems super cool!]]

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-20 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[:D Sure! Rathna has no beef against any of the cult's gods, there's just some she vibes with more than others, so wherever would be fine.]

[[Word! I’m thinking Luka is presenting himself as a new priest of Hypnato, hoping to be recognized as his idol so Luka can live out his real ambition of being fed wine and living on his back. Happy to start us up, anything you’d want for an intro?]]
jeweledserpent: (pensive)

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-21 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She probably wouldn't fall for it, but she'd be happy to play along. XD No particular desires for an intro, so go for it!]

Oh totally, no sense in running a con if no one can call you on it!

[personal profile] forrestertailor 2024-06-21 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The Tholos of Hypnato, with its domed roof and exterior ring of etched columns, sits in the cleft of a hillside with two streams branching out on either side. The waters join further down, creating a pond that falls amid the rocky earth and cypress groves into a series of terraced pools.

Inside the round temple the skylight of its dome casts a sunbeam down over the worshippers, the scenes of debauchery carved into the walls, the velvet laid chaises and the smoking incense and sacrificial herbs, meats, wine. It is afternoon and the sunbeam shines on the west side of the temple's ring, Luka stands in its shadow at the eastern wall.

The smell of the cypress and the breeze off the rolling streams higher up the hill ruffled the long, crimped black linen he wears. Fastened along his big arms and across his shoulders, it hangs in long black drape from his tall black figure. He stands taking the place in, at ease and at home in Hypnato's temple but certainly a new face.

He seems to be waiting, keeping to the cool and dark side of the temple as the worshippers come and go, the priests tending to them each before they come to the tall stranger in the shadow.

"You planning to lurk in the shade all day, handsome?"

Rathna's curiosity was officially piqued a while ago, but, well. It's been a busy kind of day, and while that's always nice, it makes it a little harder to investigate lurking newcomers.

Luka’s ears perk up, pointy dark shapes on the sides of his head. He smiles, teeth showing bright white against the darkness of his beard. It’s cut fashionably, densely curled with a few ringlets at the corners of his jaw. At the edges it’s trimmed in white.

“At least until I start to lurk through the evening.” His voice is low and deep, quiet for such a big man. He’s built like seven feet of marble and talks like an old man from the country. He continue with a boyish lack of malice. “I like waiting, as it happens. We share the love of Hypnato.”

He reaches into the neck of his drapery and takes out a medallion of Hypnato. It’s a disk of red clay with an idol of Hypnato, bent in a dance with many tongues lashing from a grinning mouth, hanging from his neck by a strand of braided leather.

"So we do. One of a few that holds my heart - and other body parts, of course." Which one was responsible for Rathna's current shape, she doesn't tell anyone.

She glides over for a closer look at the newcomer, thankful that she can actually look him in the eye instead of being nearly two feet shorter (sure, she can still do legs, but what fun is that?). "Were you waiting for anything in particular?"

"I heard of your temple and wanted to see it, to see how you preach Hypnato's teachings." He glances passed her hip, at the long coil of her tail with their glinting red and violet scales. Then back to her face. "I come down from the north, because, of course, Hypnato smiles on those who go down."

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-22 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
She laughs. "Indeed he does. You got a name? I'm Rathna."

"Luka," He bows, showing the wide sweep of his back where the fastenings of his tunic glimmer between his shoulder blades. "From Pyrius. It's a pleasure, Priestess."

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-22 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Is and will be, I'm sure. You have anything in mind other than taking in the sights?"

It's certainly not going to be any hardship to extend him a little hospitality.

Luka unfurls his hand hands in front of him.

"I'm a lost lamb, dear. I'll go where I'm led, but of course I should like to spend a few hours in worship." He turns his smile up to her, peeking up with one yellow eye. "If you'll lead me, Priestess."
jeweledserpent: (intimate)

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-22 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, that can easily be arranged." She takes his hand. "Two questions. One, do you just prefer the shade or actively need to avoid the sun, and two, how much do you care if we're somewhere we could end up with an audience?"

"I'd prefer to stay out of it, but I won't burn." He says innocently. "And not at all. As long as they aren't the sort of audience to throw fruits."
jeweledserpent: (fancy)

[personal profile] jeweledserpent 2024-06-22 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
"No fruit here," Rathna says, already heading for a spot based on Luka's preferences. "Not unless someone's into that sort of thing."

There's a chaise lounge under a small copse of trees, secluded from the sun but not so far from the main temple as to be isolated. If someone wants to watch the show, they'll be able to, but it's not as bright as some of the other gathering places.

Nice use of ‘copse!’

[personal profile] forrestertailor 2024-06-22 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Luka sits and stretches his long legs over one side of the chaise, worming over to give Rathna some room beside him. He doesn’t guess she’ll need it, he’s plenty big and strong to hold her, but it seems the polite thing to do. He props his chin atop his fist.

“Praise Hypnato in all his work,” he says, hiking the drape of his garment high to reveal his strong legs and the crest of one thigh.

Father Imperator | Ghost (RHRN)

[personal profile] fraterimperator 2024-06-21 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
    Note: on the off-chance that anyone here doesn’t want the most recent canon update spoiled - spoiler alert?

Character Name: Father (Copia Emeritus) Imperator - (formerly Papa Emeritus IV).
Age: 54.
Role(s): 3, 5, or some mash of both.
Preferred Scenarios: Invictus and Terminus. For meme prompts - not 2, bonus points for 4. The rest sound fun! For wildcard, please consider platonic variations of this prompt, because it rocks and non-smut with this prompt would be really fun and potentially more satisfying. Which isn’t to say it couldn’t lead into the smutty prompts or that I am not also down for those.
(Kinks) Yes: The answer is probably yes but feel free to ask about specifics.
(Kinks) No: Nothing underage (or age-ups) or non-con (consensually dubious is fine).
Short Character Description: I am also [personal profile] littlesunshine, this is the same character at a wildly different canon point. I refuse to overhaul that journal. Anyways. Copia (now Father Imperator) is now the absolute head of the entire (ficiticius version of Satanic) clergy. Previously he was a cardinal for the Ministry, and then became their rockstar-pope. He’s basically their magical supreme-chancellor now. Despite all this seriousness, he is perhaps toxically optimistic, quirky, charming, light-hearted, empathetic, and a bit of a clown. He is also capricious, manipulative, subtly egotistical, debaucherous, and flighty. Don’t expect him to take anything too seriously, or overlook a slight in his name. Do expect him to be cheering for you and stick around to support you when you feel like you have no one else to turn to. If he doesn’t answer his phone, it’s because he is playing retro video games or too high to register that his phone is ringing.
