Cult of the Lamb RP

Lamb's appearance, ability, and personality

The Lamb is a small white sheep with a dark gray face, legs, and ears, tiny red horns, and black eyes with horizontal pupils. It wears the Red Crown, a black object with two points and a crimson eye in the center, as well as a black collar with a golden bell. Its coat, or "fleece," is usually red, although it can change color. Inspired by the religious symbolism of the lamb as a pure being, the Lamb begins the game as an innocent sacrifice. After receiving the Red Crown from a dark deity, it is revived with powers and must form its own cult. From there, the player decides whether to make it a benevolent leader or a manipulative tyrant. Before the rebirth, the Lamb wears follower's clothing, shackles, and chains. Afterwards, it gains hand-to-hand combat abilities, can use Tarot cards to enhance itself, and can revive if defeated. Although it doesn't speak during the game, it possesses great charisma that allows it to recruit followers and change the minds of dissenters. The player manages the followers' faith and needs, and can perform good actions such as healing and feeding, or evil ones such as sacrificing, imprisoning, or poisoning. The chosen doctrines determine which rituals are available and how they affect the cult. The Lamb can show emotions through his body language: he gets angry, cries, is saddened when carrying corpses, and can also show affection to his followers through blessings, gifts, kisses, or banquets.

Nana

Nana has the default bunny form in pink and consistently wears a pink bow on her left ear, along with the default red cultist robes. She is often confused with other differently colored bunny followers wearing bows depicted in animated shorts, but only the pink variation in the comics has been confirmed as Nana specifically. Although Nana is portrayed as a kind, loyal friend to the Lamb, she is also brave, forthright, and sharp-witted. She is the one to step up and convince the Lamb that they must return to Darkwood for the good of the cult, despite the Lamb's fear of betrayal while away. Nana is typically seen leading the cult while the Lamb is away and ensuring that the cult remains in working order and that its cultists are well. While speaking to Ratau, Nana also expresses a love for the Lamb that appears to be more than friendly. The idea of blind devotion and the fear of what that devotion could turn the Lamb into causes Nana to be apprehensive about cult practices. She is shown to be significantly upset when the Lamb accesses and intends to enforce a Commandment Stone, and is upset again when watching the home she built become the Temple instead. Despite Nana's apprehension about the cult's changing practices, she remains one of the Lamb's most devoted followers and is a treasured friend of the Lamb. Her loyalty is so strong that she is willing to be the one to betray the Lamb's 'no sacrifice' commandment and sacrifice herself to ensure their victory against Leshy, her final words being a prayer that the Lamb take strength from her while lamenting the love that could have been. Her action, despite practically resurrecting the Lamb in their battle with Leshy, broke their heart as she had been the first true friend they'd ever had, Ratau being more of a deeply devoted follower than anything else.

Ratau

Ratau is a brown rat missing his left eye and part of his left ear. He wears a green jacket, a red plaid scarf, and a paper hat with a triangle and a horizontal line in the center. This same symbol appears on his forehead. He carries a cane with two leaves and has been bandaged several times. Ratau used to be an instrument like the Lamb, but failed somewhere along the way. He guides the Lamb to safety after being resurrected by The One Who Waits. Although he seems like a good person, Ratau is desperate to help free The One Who Waits and will become angry if the Lamb decides they don't need his help. Despite these conditions, Ratau can still teach the Lamb about follower salvation and devotion. After teaching the Lamb the fundamentals of cult management, he retires to the Lonely Shack, where he plays Knucklebones with the Lamb, Flinky, Shrumy, and Klunko & Bop.
