Papa III Living Away From the Clergy With Spouse and Small Child

-After retiring, Papa is happy to live away from the Clergy. They made it very clear his presence is not wanted or needed. With Frater taking over and V being present, the other three Papas are happy to completely retire.

-Papa WANTS to get away from the whole ministry, to be honest. He’s over it. Papa gave some of his best work to the Clergy. He won a Grammy, two successful albums, all these new fans, and THIS is how they repay him? Fine. Let the twins ruin the rest of it! They can have it!!

-He wants to take you and your new son away from it all. Your child was a toddler still. Papa doesn’t want your son to grow up like he did; as a pawn from the ministry. Your child gets the best life possible with all the advantages you both never had… and the love HE never had.

-Papa still has his wealth and connections from the Clergy. You both are still fabulously wealthy. Depending on your taste, you will still live in luxury. Papa prefers a big house, attendants, and all the benefits of fine living. But he will compromise on at least a nice house if you want something more modest.

-You both don’t need to work the rest of your lives, so he wants to personally live it up. If you want to go work or chase a passion, Papa supports you!

-Your home is FAR away from the home abbey in Lincopia. You both completely move out of Otrogothia. One of the countries Papa wants to move back to is Italy. But he wouldn’t mind the US or the UK. You may even move back to where you’re from.

-He’s now a very attentive husband and father. He actually has the time to be one, now! If you want to work, that’s fine. Papa will become a stay at home husband type. Love love LOVES being a father. Hands on parenting. Papa wants you both to be a pair of the best parents to have ever lived. Wants to make sure your son can be raised as normally as he can. Papa will still hold onto his faith, and want to share that with your child. Just… not in the same capacity of when he was a pontiff. His current praying or rituals are very private.

-Only his brothers really visit you. They love their nephew and adore catching up with you. Papa I and II don’t visit for long, but they make them count. They visit individually or together every other month. Papa II also bailed when the Clergy went to the twins, and Papa I stayed near by to keep an eye on things. Your son is spoiled by his uncles!

-Papa is still a man for parties, but they are VERY toned down. No wild antics or “party favors”. He hosts a lot of dinner parties and events with friends. Your son has the best birthday parties fit for a little prince! Papa is an excellent host and enjoys the planning.

-Papa will not let the Clergy contact you or your son. He keeps you both shielded. Papa would PREFER if you cut all ties too, for your own safety. He doesn’t trust Copia or Perpetua.

-He takes you and your on the town so much. Filling your lives with as many pleasant memories and experiences as he can. Wants to fill your days with happiness and not the cut throat frustration of Papal life. No more darkness. No more ministry games!

-Looooots of pictures being taken. Papa takes them or hires a professional photographer for family pictures. He wants to capture every moment he can!

-Papa never wears his Papal paint ever again. You never see his suit either!

The Ministry is Near a Nesting Cryptid

It genuinely depends on the relationship between the cryptid and the closest Abbey!

~Rule of thumb is just to leave the cryptid alone, no matter what.

~Cryptids on Earth are rarely Sapient or Social like a normal fantasy species. Trying to train or befriend one is the equivalent of going out to a swamp and seeing if you can bond with the gators. Rarely is that ever going to happen. And usually, there is little to no benefit from interacting with the local Cryptids.

~Unless, SOMEHOW, the Clergy has been able to tame the cryptid; no one would be permitted to go near it. Let alone a NEST of it’s young! They are still creatures! And any creature that can bear young will most certainly protect them!

~Typically, most Siblings and ghouls would be forbidden to go into cryptid territory. For siblings, it’s to keep alive and not upset the beast. For ghouls, it’s not to accidentally challenge the beast into defending its home.

~ If it’s a cryptid that produces some sort of material/essence that can be used for magic in the ministry? Only a very select few members may go collect it.

~Same if there is a symbiotic relationship with the beast. Only highly skilled and qualified members may approach it. A quintessence ghoul is usually on standby for these types of interactions, as well.

~When in doubt, LEAVE BABY CRYPTIDS ALONE!

Papas with a Horror Artist S/O

Papa Nihil: The man adores horror, and so he immediately adores your art! Thinks you are wicked talented! He is especially impressed if you can do old-fashioned horror movie poster styled art! Nihil is the type of partner to invest in very nice frames if you do traditional work. Hanging them up in your shared quarters like a gallery wall. He would even give you money to sell prints, if you weren’t already! He finds it relaxing to watch you draw, if you let him. He personally has no drawing talent but he’s happy to provide feedback and ideas if you need help. If you are the type to be a professional artist Nihil hooks you up with so many high-profile clients! ESPECIALLY if it was merch for the band! You’d end up with so many opportunities to do concept art, magazine guest spots, horror movie promotions- you’d be a household name! All of the papas would tell you stories of their long lives, but Nihil is the most adamant and descriptive!!

Papa I: Loves your art no matter what style or medium you choose. But Papa would have an incredible soft spot for your work if you did traditional paintings like Goya or Beksinski. He would find them very immersive. Finding the beauty in the grotesque and the detail in every part of your work. There is such art to be found in the darkness of man’s imagination, he likes to say! When you talk to him about art, he will always compliment you. Truly, it takes a skilled eye and hand to capture the uncanny. In turn, he has inspired you with a lot of visuals from Opus. You once gifted him a painting of ‘Ritual’ and watched his eyes light up. It is happily hanging in your living room. Funnily enough, Papa has skill as an illustrator for science and anatomy. Nothing creative, like you! Papa takes a lot of notes with anatomy and plants for study. But that DOES make him a good person to see when you need critique.

Papa II: Many don’t know that Papa is a collector of art. Imagine your face when you tell him you are a horror artist and he shows you his Giger ORIGINAL! Papa has quite a collection of very popular modern horror master original works. Everything to famous movie illustrator prints to classical masters! He adores horror works, not just horror movies! Papa loves to sit and flip through your portfolios. There are a few he wants to buy from you (yes buy, because he will not expect them just because you are his partner!) Papa thinks you’ll be one of the greats someday; no matter what medium you pursue! A lot of your time is spent together by watching horror movies and you drawing next to him. He can’t think of a better night than enjoying a glass of wine, a schlocky film, and seeing you work on your latest creation! Any art you gift him will be hung in his public office and private study! (He also wouldn’t mind shifting into his more demon form to let you draw him…)

Papa III: Another creative soul to mingle with Papa! He is both an avid horror fan AND a talented artist, himself. You have art dates! Papa took up portrait painting when he was a teenager and has never stopped (though he has less time for it with Papacy and all). In fact, you met because you were having a small showing of your art! Papa was in town during his tour and visited your gallery show. He was very keen on all the work you put into each piece. Asking about your inspirations and techniques. You both had so much in common with what you liked to do in art to your favorite classic horror movies! If you had work of any of the original classics (Like Dracula, his favorite!) he straight up buys one of your originals! He’s a big fan of your work! That lead to keeping in touch, which lead to more talking, and finally dating after his stint as singer. These days he’s your cheerleader. He tries not to bother you when you are working, but LOVES resting on you as you draw. Papa practically BEGS to be your model sometimes! Put him in whatever costume you want!

Papa IV/Cardinal Copia: Love love love LOVES if you do illustrations! Copia isn’t an artist by any means, but he adores art! (It’s why he jumped on the chance to have such a range of art styles in his merch!) Copia happily obsesses over your specific art style! Committing all your stylistic motifs by every detail! It’s quite flattering that he can always tell you drew something by the way you shade or define your line weight! He loves it even more when you draw him or the ghouls. In fact, he has a small book portfolio of every doodle you’ve ever let him have! There have even been a few posters and shirts you designed! Copia always wears them under his track suit. When you want to draw vampires he is the FIRST to give you so many ideas! On top of that? Copia is your #1 art resource buddy! As a history buff and a man who consumes information, you never need to struggle to research ever again! Copia is the type to look up history of monsters, symbols, themes, and past art of whatever you want. He can get you a pile of clergy illustrations of whatever you want to incorporate into your art!

Papa V Perpetua: You mean, this man is even more desperately and hopelessly in love with you than he already was? You being a horror artist is everything he could have dreamed for in a partner! Perpetua is an absolutely FREAK when it comes to anything horror! The more twisted or gory stuff you draw the better! Perpetua loves all horror, but the weirder the better! He loves all your work and will happily display as many pieces as you will let him. A favorite of his is the time you drew him transforming into a bat creature with sharp teeth, blood, and a monstrous face! The amount of merch he’d have you design would be astronomical. You also both bond over your favorite horror artists, directors, and writers. Papa has also been a fantastic muse and model. Happily posing or giving you inspiration for your next full illustration! Perpetua is also a freak who loves dead things and anatomy… so he's a very good person to ask if you need help drawing gore.

Thank you!!! TToTT ❤️ I really appreciate your kind words!! A lot of work and love goes into each entry.

Air Seeing a Newly Summoned Ghoul With Wings

~CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve been officially adopted by Air! Because you both are possibly the very last of your kind to have wings! Whether you see him as a father figured, mentor, or overbearing elder ghoul is up to you!

~This is monumental to Air because he is the oldest ghoul in existence and, to his knowledge, the very last one to have wings! This is because back in Hell, centuries ago, the older Air tribes with wings were purged by Angels. While modern Air ghouls have a form of gliding thanks to their element, he really thought he was the last to have wings.

~If you are a ghoul from an Air tribe that isn’t used to his, his initial presence comes off as intimidating. Air almost ripped the dungeon door from its hinges to get to you! His initial response is to immediately grab and question you. Which comes off like he’s interrogating you. But Air is just desperate for some answers.

~You’ll be asked so many things at once before you can even comprehend where you are! Are you the only one in your tribe with wings? Does your tribe normally have kits with wings? Are other winged ghouls back in Hell? What Air tribe do you hail from? Etc etc etc.

~Air is very eager to see and test your wings. Making sure they aren’t vestigial. When he realizes they aren’t you get him handling them! This isn’t to hurt you but to gauge if you are able to be a flyer. When Air is satisfied that you have good wings he announces that you are under his care. Uh…. Congrats?

~Being winged could put a huge target on your back should angels ever attack. Air will not hesitate to personally train you. He’s the only one who can really train you with using your wings AND element. He and the Papas are the only beings capable of flight!

~You end up being very close to Cirrus now that Air has taken you under his wing (no pun intended). At first she can come off as cold and a tad jealous (she wishes she had wings.) but the three of you form your own little pack. You are both trained to be incredibly strong ghouls thanks to Air.

~Along with Cirrus, because she hails from the modern tribe the descended from his ancient one, you are the only ghoul who knows Air’s tribe history. Much of it and its culture was lost to time. If you hail from the same place as Cirrus, this becomes so special to you!

~All the leader ghouls are especially flabbergasted at your appearance! Winged Air ghouls have been extinct for centuries. For the ones that have been stuck on earth since the beginning of the Emeritus bloodline? It gives them hope that their own ancient tribes will have traits that will be saved with new ghouls.

~With Air’s guidance you became a fierce fighter and skilled flyer! You can thank his almost nightly lessons.

Aaaaaaah, yes. The justice system inside the wall of the Ministry! It might love its followers, but its still full of shady business!
