Follower Bishop God Remenants
Each of the 5 bishops ended up keeping a few more subtle powers from their godliness, and ichor still runs through their veins. They have the capabilities of spurts of extra power, but it would use up some of what Ichor they have left. They also have powers that don't use up ichor but if they ran out of ichor the powers would fade away.
They also have drawbacks from their previous injuries and the usage of their relics rather than being fully healed.
No Ichor usage: The previous god of death kills whatever living things she touches. She has no control over it. Grass she walks over blackens and people may fall victim to their demise (though she has yet to test that). Someone that spends a lot of time with the lamb may overcome her rot through the collection of whatever energy is put off by the lamb (the god of life), such as Sydney eventually does. The other bishops are also unaffected due to their previous status as Gods and/or their relation to Narinder.
Ichor usage: Narinder can use her blood to create a blade or her signature scythe. She actually prefers a thin sword for its ease of use. If she needs to use it she will usually use one of her claws to cut her arm and let it drip down to her hand so the sword forms in her hand.
Injury drawbacks: Narinders hands were stripped bare during her imprisonment. She does not have a relic to repair the damage, but has a constant drawback instead. Already a shorthaired cat, some of her fur around her scarring and on her arms is more coarse and patchy. She is unable to grow any new hair so shaving it down is not an option. She is also touch-sensitive to most fabrics and sensations, easily irritated and breaks out in hives. She struggles to maintain her own body temperature especially during winter. The lambs wool is one of the only fabric textures she can stand, so most of her clothing was handmade by Inez.
No Ichor usage: the previous bishop of chaos was also a strong plant lover and grower. His bushy body is complete with skin under the foliage akin to dirt and wood. Seeds can be planted on him and will grow, and fertilizer can assist him in gaining volume of the leaves on him. he follows the seasons in that he can only grow seasonal seeds and his own leaves change with the fall and can fall off like a tree in winter.
Ichor usage: Leshy as a follower can change his size. He has a basic size and the change does not use very much ichor at all, but he can go from pocket/palm sized up to about the size of a large house.
Relic drawback: his eye was unable to be reattached properly, but when he holds it he can use it to see in full color. Unfortunately, as soon as he stops using it or puts it down he is plagued by terrible migraines for a length of time proportional to the time he used it. For this reason he doesn't take his eye often unless it's for something special.
No Ichor usage: the previous god of famine has both an unlimited appetite and no appetite at all. She won't starve or be hungry, but she can also never be full. She's basically a garbage disposal.
Ichor usage: heket can change her body's density. She can make herself super dense and heavy or light as a feather for jumping around without any change in her size. Like Leshy, this power doesn't use as much ichor as other bishops' powers.
Relic Drawback: hekets throat has no volume control. When she uses it to speak more consistently she has no control over whether she's whispering or shouting. Without her relic she speaks very raspily and takes longer to get words out, and sometimes finds her voice won't work at all. Since she's still capable of speaking she tends to just not use her relic.
No Ichor usage: the god of pestilence somehow cannot get sick. He is immune to most poisons, venoms, and even mold and infection with injuries.
Ichor usage: basically he has Maelstrom. he can make tentacles brust from the ground or his body/wherever he places his blood/ichor. he can also use this power to regrow his own tentacles if they're cut off.
Relic drawbacks: Kallamars ear has a severe auditory processing delay. When he uses it he has a minimum of 5 seconds or more before he can actually hear and process what someone is saying. He used it frequently in the clinic for a while, but after being dubbed the dumb/slow nurse he swore off the usage of his relic and just asks people simple yes or no questions, to yell, or to fill out their symptoms/answers on paper. Kallamar invented clinic intake forms.
No ichor usage: as the previous god of Wisdom, Shamura can be asked many questions. if specific enough, they will know the answer and will give it to whoever asked. this is the result whether they are in a good headspace or not, very rarely too out of it to use.
Ichor usage: Shamura has the ability to use their webs as essentially puppet strings. they can control living beings like they could before they were defeated. this is the strongest of the remaining power of the bishops, and could be the most destructive if Shamura ever remembered that it's something they can do. in the cases that they do remember, the other bishops (except Kallamar cause he's mean) will divert their attention with little handmade dolls instead of cultists. unfortunately, the only dolls they'll accept are the little lamb dolls Inez made one time as a really dark joke.
Relic Drawbacks: whenever Shamura uses the piece of their brain they're missing, they are plagued with intense intrusive thoughts, almost like a flood of all the thoughts they've struggled for for centuries. a lot of these thought tend to be self or others-destructive. they choose not to act on a lot of these because they are content and taken care of and have their families. essentially the thoughts of destruction and war are torment for them.
