GODSLAYER: politics, a wip worldbuilding powerpoint

welcome to the world of my dark science fantasy wip, godslayer!! it is very much an unpolished idea-in-progress, so a lot of things are subject to change as i actually figure out the plot. it's all very vague at this point, but it's going to heavily feature lesbians, biblical angels, cosmic horror, enemies to lovers, and Space ;)

there's no official wip intro yet, but stick around for more to come!

more slides under the cut!

WTW PLANET PROMPTS - VENUS: POLITICS - godslayer

The Exarchy is an interstellar theocratic empire ruling over the vast expanse of the Ecumene. Being the largest and most powerful political entity in the known space, it is the ultimate authority for the majority of humankind. Following the angels' assault on humanity, the Church gained unparalleled political power, with the Inquisition assuming the dual roles of defense against cosmic threats and maintaining social order. The Holy Synod, governing both the Church and the Inquisition, holds absolute authority over the Exarchy, while the Exarch serves largely ceremonial roles. Entrusted with the ultimate fate of humanity, the Synod determines the course of affairs in its struggle for survival. However, maintaining a centralized government over interstellar distances is impossible, even with faster-than-light travel and communication. This has resulted in a neo-feudal structure within the Exarchy, where the noble dynasties of the Great Houses are responsible for various functions of the empire. Headed by the seven Archons, these Great Houses comprise the Synkletos, the senate of the Exarchy. This body carries out the day-to-day decisions required to govern the Exarchy according to the Synod’s will.

pokemon tag game: godslayer ☣

thank you so much for the tag, @flowerprose!

pokemon used to be one of my special interests when i was a kid, so much so that i spent most of my time on the internet reading pokedex entries. i’m going to narrow my options down to pokemon up to the 7th gen, since they’re the ones i’m most familiar with. anyways

RITHEL, the renegade inquisitor

SAKLAS, the excommunicated priest

BLUEJAY, the inscrutable esper

i haven’t done a wip intro for godslayer yet, as i’m still hesitant about it being just a rudimentary concept. the characters mentioned exist rather on a level of ~vibes~ for now, but that’s all i need to ascribe them a bunch of powerful pocket beasties

tag game: oc in three images

tagged by @coarsely, thank you!

rules: post three pictures describing your oc, however vague or specific you wish.

my wips run largely on vibes and aesthetics (for the time being), so this tag game is a very fun way for me to describe my ocs as vaguely as possible. these three are from my wip godslayer (no wip intro we die like men)

two, isopeleia mesarthim

playlist personality tag!

thanks for the tag, @asablehart!!

as someone who reads way too much into song lyrics, this is the perfect excuse to put my extensive playlist library to use. going to do this for some of the ocs from godslayer (still no wip intro we die like men)

Alcyone: grandson - Stigmata

How do you get in the mind-state to kill? How do you get in the mind-state to kill? I need a fill Of violence to bust up the silence for real Traumatized, ain't gonna hide how I feel The truth is alive and well

Ishmerai: Zheani - Napalm

To live a perfect life (Gonna burn it all down) So tell me what it's like? (Gonna burn it all down) An angel fall from grace The blood smeared down her face

Isopeleia: Soap&Skin - Thanatos

Watch the bend of my wandering Of hunting with the lightning gun Tremor on my heaven sun Tares above my kingdom come

Saklas: Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumours

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing
