YOUR CULT ROLE
- Outsider ⮞ You are - or were - 100% uninvolved with this shit, but circumstances change.
- New Initiate ⮞ For one reason or another, you recently joined the cult and were initiated into its mysteries...at least some of them.
- Dedicated Cultist ⮞ You've been around for a while, you've learned the ropes, for better or for worse you're in it for the long haul.
- Former Member ⮞ Your reasons for leaving are probably complicated, and your leaving might have been clean or it might have been messy, but you left.
- Undercover Plant ⮞ You might be playing the role but you have other reasons for showing interest in this cult: you might be a cop busting them for illegal activities, an FBI member investigating incredibly illegal activities, a reporter seeking a new story, someone trying to recover a loved one from the clutches of this cult, or something else.
- Cult Leader ⮞ Someone has to run the show.
- The Demon ⮞ It's a demon summoning cult, after all.
- Other ⮞ Something else?
WHAT TYPE OF CULT IS IT? BESIDES DEMON SUMMONING
- LARPers ⮞ Once a month y'all basically get together to roleplay some demon summoning cult hijinks, and it's that time of the month again.
- Financial Scam ⮞ Perhaps cultists tithe a certain amount to the cult to (eventually) summon Mammon/Amon/[insert demon here]. Perhaps cultists market products to unwitting victims in the hopes of spreading the good word. Or maybe it's something else, but the point of it is a financial scam.
- A Suspicious Commune, Basically ⮞ You're probably off in the mountains, burning strange bonfires, eating strange herbs, doing dubious things away from the point of view of the rest of society.
- Sex ⮞ Fuck your way into summoning Mammon/Amon/[insert demon here].
- One That Does Some Highly Illegal Activities ⮞ Human sacrifice? Money laundering? Drugs? The front for some organized crime?
- Actual Magic ⮞ Amazingly, you somehow found the urban supernatural cult that's very real, and is actually probably going to summon a demon soon.
- Eldritch ⮞ You thought you signed up for demon summoning. It turns out that name you’ve all been invoking belongs to something much, much bigger.
- Other ⮞ Pick your own cult poison.
CULT ACTIVITY
- Initiation ⮞ Someone - yourself, maybe, someone else, possibly - has decided to join the cult and now it’s time to truly bring them into the cultist fold. Robes, wine, ritual activities, maybe a new cultist name, showing them the ropes, the sky’s the limit.
- Prayer ⮞ As all good cults have a good round of prayer at some point! Community is important with a cult. Maybe you just sit around in a room and sway for a while, or maybe you go outside buck naked and howl at the stars.
- Atonement ⮞ You've been a naughty follower. How does your shepherd deal with sheep who stray from the flock?
- Expulsion ⮞ Or at least, that’s what they’ll tell everyone. The rest of the flock will be told that you simply up and left in the night. They won't be told that you were questioning their beliefs, ferreting information back to whatever arm of the law you work for, knitting their doom in the shadows. Whether any of that is true is another matter entirely. For now, let’s just hope you get out of this whole mess in one piece.
- CHEESE IT, THE FUZZ ⮞ Uh oh. The heretics and the heathens of the unbelieving world have come to bust your doors down and to put a stop to your beautiful belief. Do you guys have guns?
- Summoning (demon) ⮞ It worked! Against all odds (probably) you managed to summon something...other. A glimpse of another world, perhaps. Or perhaps you managed to summon a demon, bind a smaller creature by your rituals and make it your servant. Did you mean to do this? Are you surprised? Are you pleased with this proof that what you have been doing did, in fact, work?
- Summoning (apocalypse) ⮞ Oh SHIT. It worked, but you accidentally summoned something larger. Maybe instead of a glimpse into another world you ended up with a rift, and the other realm is bleeding into Earth. Or perhaps instead of a smaller demon you ended up with a more powerful one who has asserted control over your cult, and, in turn, will corrupt the world. Did you mean to do this? Are you surprised? Will you accept that life will never be the same, or will you try to save the world before it is too late?
- Other ⮞ After all, there's many things you can do in a cult.
