Crude Intro

One day you decided to start-up a Cult for the Glory of *insert Deity/Concept here* or maybe you started a Cult because you're a Megalomaniac and want your very own group of fanatical brainwashed minions. You know that the road to achieving whatever completely insane and or selfish goals you've lined out will be Difficult (Get it?) but you and your Followers will do your absolute worst to achieve it, whatever it is, or die trying.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Suggestion Game, whichever Cult Leader/Religion Template gets the most votes will be it. The setting is an extremely fascist theocratic dictatorship in the far, far future. Think something along the lines of the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40k and you've got it. Filthy Xenos do exist and are almost entirely devoted to exterminating Humanity at any cost. The Supreme Galactic Empire Of Humanity (Or Sugalemhu, for short) is slowly fragmenting and falling apart, Technological knowledge has been stagnating for thousands of years and a lot of it is patchwork. Culturally, Sugalemhu hasn't advanced at all for centuries and in many places has regressed significantly. The Primary Religion of The Supreme Galactic Empire Of Humanity is Empirism, the Fanatical Worship of, Sugal, the Long deceased Founder of The Supreme Galactic Empire Of Humanity.

Empirites believe that the Emperor has ascended to become a Fully fledged God and that all Humans that follow his Ancient(And seriously twisted and misinterpreted over the Eons) Teachings without question will ascend to Sugon, a Mythical Land of Heavenly Splendor where there isn't any pain, suffering or anything bad. They also believe that everyone who doesn't follow Empirism should be reported to the Inquisition and Exterminated as thoroughly and painfully as possible, and that their Souls shall wait in an endlessly long line for all eternity. They believe that Xenos where placed in the Universe as a test for Humanity, that they don't have Souls, and that once every last Xeno is dead the Emperor shall reward all of his Followers by teleporting them to Sugon and destroying the entire Universe, apart from Sugon.

Any and all Religions apart from Empirism are seen as Blasphemous Heresy to be Purged. This is a Problem for any would-be Cult Leaders, as you can imagine. Magic does exist, but it's all just very strong-willed (And well-trained) People(Or Xenos) manipulating the Laws of Physics, A lot of Forgotten Technology is seen as being Magical, as there isn't any other explanation for it's ability to function.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you read through all of that, just fill out the Sheets and post. The Cult will start in an Urban City Planet. Please don't try to mock any IRL Religions, as I don't want to offend anybody. Please don't make a Generic Armok Cult, be creative. This is probably going to somewhat ridiculous, if you have a problem with that, don't post.

Bumping for more sheets. Looks pretty Culty so far. I had the idea to put the Cults that didn't get the most votes in as rival factions (If somewhat extremely elusive and subtle ones)

[piratejoe]

Did i win?

[Ardent Debater]

Did i win?

I guess so, congratulations! I don't know whether or not I'll keep operating this Thread though, the Night-Lord Thread received much more attention than I'd anticipated.

[piratejoe]

Don't abandon this game,please.

[Ardent Debater]

Don't abandon this game,please.

It's on Hiatus until the End of the Night-Lord Thread, I don't have time to run two Threads without sacrificing the quality of both.
