"There is perhaps no easier way to corrupt a mortal than to appeal to their carnal instincts. Entire Imperial libraries are filled with tales of lurid corruption on one side and manuals with instructions for fighting it on the other."
Can it be corruption, if it is an inherent and natural instinct.

] 1 - Aesthetic[ Divine markings thematic to their divine form (in color as well as design) upon the body. This can be as simple as bands around the wrists, or an entire intricate design across the back, left up to the player. ] 1 - Quirk[ They are able to summon small skeletal pets that like to linger around them and can do mundane things (like playing dead, fetching small items, etc), though they cannot be used in combat. Up to the size of a rat and up to five at any one time. They vanish into black soot if they are taken out of a ten block radius. |

| Universal Divine Passives |
|---|
| || PROVIDENCE || The blessed’s soul is warded by their faith in their Divine. If something tries to possess them, or they’re targeted by an effect that is functionally identical to possession, the blessed may roll a d6 save to resist it. If they roll their tier or lower on the d6, the possession fails and has no effect. They are additionally fully immune to any attempts to lay claim to their soul (in terms of it being trapped, imprisoned, or otherwise by some entity. This is not expected to come up much in RP, but exists for flavor). For curses or afflictions like Vyrism or Spiritblessed, they may resist it outright or optionally roll a possession save against it. |
| || NATURAL ALLIES || Certain creatures recognize the Blessed of certain gods and behave differently than they would to other mortals, so long as hostility isn’t shown to them. - Skraag: Mindless undead aren’t hostile to Skraag blessed. |
| | BLESSED FORM || Skraag has blessed Gwyrthiol with Fortitude. |
| || BLIND FAITH || The blessed relies wholly and unquestioningly in their faith in times of confusion, and may use Soul instead of Mind when rolling to resist mental effects. |

NAME: Cauldron of Gluttony
DESCRIPTION: A rusty and blackened cauldron.
PASSIVE [Glutted]: A large mouth grows at the base of the attuned's lower abdomen. This mouth cannot be used for any form of combat, but may store a single item weighing no more than 50lbs.
Ability: Once per day, the attuned may concoct any manner of food from the cauldron, despite the base, that tastes unusually good. Poisons or any sort of toxic additions can not be concealed by this ability. When food created by the cauldron is consumed, it fully satiate a person for up to a week, regardless if the individual is a vyre or not. However, after a week as passed, if the individual is not able to consume mortal blood, they enter into an equivalent feral bloodthirst as that of a consumed stage of feral vyrism. This lasts until they are able to feast upon half a pint of mortal blood, they have another serving from the cauldron, or a full day has passed under the effect.

The character must be at least two months old OOC. The character is several months old oocly.
The character must be at least sixteen years of age. Became 16 this monday.
Describe the most prominent relevant deed they've done since their last rank up. This can be a hosted event, a significant achievement, or similar spectacle, but it should tend towards acts that demonstrate their faith to others.
Held [Thrill of the bizarre] in Storm's Landing. Pitching individuals against creatures, undead and feral vyres. All in an attempt to spread the touch of Skraag or vyrism, but to also incite entertainment in the use of Undead and Vyrism. This is done to demonstrate Gwyrthiol's ability to murder, not by his own hands, but by the others and to also make entertainment of it.
Three notable acts in line with their Divine (Hunting, Healing, Bartering, etc) separate to the event(s) above.
Consistently brings up the notion of feral vyrism and how they could be useful in warfare and in entertainment. Speaking with many on the notion without receiving much backlash for such an astute opinion. Finding the esteem hunger which feral vyres exhibit to be much in line with his gluttonous desires, Furthermore, Gwyrthiol schemed with Xozu Zalster to temporarily inflict him into feral vyrism, to later use the blood for spiking the drinks of Connor and Sirius with it. Though to little avail, them being already vyre
beyond his knowledge.
Attends the [The glade] where a party of individuals were meant to aid a pair of farmers from their ferries of food being attacked. Upon discovering that the cause was of undead, Gwyrthiol stuck with
the intent to dispose of them, however, intentionally misfired all of his bolts while making it seem he wasn't of the faith. He gives his prayers to Skraag at the end of this event, apologizing for his inability
to change the fate of the undead.
Attends [A Grand Baptism] where he persists his desire for a path of gluttony before his father prior to being drenched and almost drowned in the blood pool. The significance being his persistence to follow a path of Skraag in a manner which his father disapproves of and still being given a chance to show where it could lead. Meaning to show the world a far unique take on gluttony and craving of hunger and delectable tastes.
One offering of an item to their Divine at a shrine/church/etc (Log its OOC location for collection.)
The slain corpses from [Thrill of the bizarre] are offered at the Cradle along with the remains of the feral blood of Xozu and a bottle of rich bloodvine. Along with the bloodied weapons used by those who slaughtered tthe creatures at said event.
