Raintom anon here! (I'm just going to start using 💧🦇 to make it easier on me 🥹)
Last ask was absolutely perfect! Thank you!
You mentioned that the ghouls used to be human, so I was curious on who has what nationalities and who has disabilities in particular! You can share anyone who comes to mind, I'm just curious :)
HEYYY FRIEND !! Hope you don't mind a long ass ramble because I constantly change my mind about the lore lol. I'm sorry this took like 5 hours btw crying emoji.
I think ghouls originate as humans that did wrong and were sent to hell, after varying periods of purgatory they were each offered a deal that they would be reincarnated into a ghoul that are organically made in hell and have there own separate area. Ghouls are used for various things, sometimes entertainment, torturing people or just existing in packs for the amusement of the higher ups. Only people deemed to have served enough time are offered the chance of to become a ghoul. Also each ghoul is associated with a deadly sin because I think its neat.
Have to start with my babycakes Cirrus I associate more with perceived wrath, I think she would've been a brothel madame during the Victorian period that treated her girls very well (winkwink lesbian things) and shot a man that was attempting to abuse one of them. She's very guarded and on edge, usually she is very lovely but has a cruel streak if anyone crosses her. She was in hell for a few decades before being reincarnated as a ghoul and survived in the pits, mated Cumulus and they were summoned. Cirrus is the only one I've given a backstory to so far I'M SORRY crying emoji.
Cumulus I lean more to sloth, she's a very hardworking ghoulette within her touring schedule and music but aside from that she rarely finds a reason to move or do much. She doesn't want to exert herself unless it benefits her or her mate and close pack mates and even then she sometimes will procrastinate doing it for hours/days/weeks. She also is sometimes less devote to worshipping the dark lord which has landed her in her papas office more than once.
Disability wise Cirrus has damage to her right ear from the shooting, she struggles with some PTSD symptoms about it as well, mostly dreams or getting triggered by certain smells or if someone is watching a Victorian era program on TV. She has worked through a lot of her problems with therapy though and is able to cope day to day !!
Cumulus has some GI issues, this mostly stems from me vaguely making her background something to do with chemical/drugs/poisoning. Something spooky like that but it managed to affect her own system. Her and Cirrus and all the previous air ghouls have eyesight problems like not being able to see glass or tunnel vision because they're bird coded.
MOUNTAIN my fav !! he is gluttony, he doesn't want to hurt anyone but he loves to indulge, spending most of his time being perceived as the stoic and sensible one he loves eating fancy human food and in large quantities, he enjoys spending money on things that make him happy and he will always indulge his carnal desires, taking multiple partners at once if it satiates him.
He has OCD and autism, he went undiagnosed as a human and was passed off as neurotic or eccentric so he was heavily isolated which probably is another factor in his gluttonous lifestyle preferences. He was already an older human being he died so he has arthritis in his fingers that stayed.
Phantom I think is more envy, he struggles to feel important enough since he's not the 'main' guy in the band I think him being Aether's replacement doesn't help especially at first he feels trapped in Aeth's shadow but he really wants to bask in the spotlight.
I'm entirely unsure how he died as a human but he's hyper-mobile, he finds it useful but does suffer some pain and a lot of fatigue as a result. Also autistic and some flavour of mentally ill.
And Swiss is pride !! he feels very arrogant since he has some of the most varying skills and talents he brings to the band, he has very good control of his various elements for being a multi. He has lots of ghoul and human lovers and fans and feels very important, like the band couldn't go on without him so he tries to involve himself in the band management or to take control.
I also have no clue what to make his death related to, he'd probably be in his 30s I guess when he dies as a human so he was fairly young. Has issues with his joint pain and high blood pressure, he didn't leave the healthiest lifestyle due to his pride as a human so I'd teeter that he has some form of mental illness that is hard to diagnosis or notice but creeps in with various feelings.
