23 for all of them? or all the ones you want to talk about?
INTERESTING CHOICE. Hmmm. I'll do the two OCs I currently have going and Taym although I don't think it's very interesting for them unfortunately.
23) Is your OC religious and what religion? If it’s a fictional religion for your story please give a summary of the core teachings of their faith?
Elaine was raised to be vaguely Baptist. She did Vacation Bible School every summer and went to church once every month or two. She deconverted in early high school, went through a wiccan phase she didn't really believe in and just thought was ~cool~, and is now an atheist. She never really cared to give much thought to most occult things beyond high school, until she herself became one.
Gouvernail was a French (?) man circa the 1020s (although I play fast and loose with Earth historical timelines because it's technically an alternate history timeline anyway so if I don't want to google things I don't, don't tell the mods [they don't care]) which would make him Catholic in the medieval sense of the word Catholic. He was actually relatively devout, not in the sense of constructing his life around God but in the sense of praying often and believing in divine reward etc. He initially considered his ascension to mild magical powers as proof of this, and even flirted with the idea that people in his position were some sort of lesser saint or something. This comforting and self-aggrandizing notion fell apart pretty rapidly with exposure to an entire universe outside Earth and Earth's God, and he came to refer to the cosmic powers that controlled magic users in general as "God," which he still does. He resented this and still resents it, as a complication of a worldview that had hitherto been pretty simple and kept him from having to think too much about difficult moral decisions. He also does not have much respect for What he now calls God (nor does Elaine).
Taym was raised Catholic but his family's religion was already sort of falling apart by the time he was starting school, so aside from a brief period where his mother enthusiastically attempted to reconnect with her own faith and he got dragged along, his memories of it are sparse and hazy. They still did mass a couple times a year for most of his life, but less out of faith and more out of routine. He did not consciously deconvert - religion just sort of vaguely fell away from him, from a place where it had never had much of a hold anyway. In some AUs, later in life, he starts going to mass again or even to Protestant service, but not out of belief. He just finds the process soothing.
