Sure! I havenāt worked out the religion yet, but Iām thinking there will be regional differencesāso, some countriesā regional interpretation is that there are ranks in the afterlife, and perhaps in a purgatory, while others believe all is equal. And yes, there is some form of temple/church/etc that they go to for worship! Iām thinking that since the religion is so widespread there are a lot of, again, regional differences, so a lot believe differently on the practices within temples and whether they are important. I want to form the religion under the idea there is the same base concept, but severalĀ interpretations between locales and even individuals.
For the water masks, I think there are a range, because many different companies are trying to develop theirs the best. Kind of like how there are many different types of vaccum cleaners, how they all have the same function but look different and collect dust different and have different little extra functions and modes. When I envision them, I think of some of the more high-tech ones like the masks from Avatar, while others are clunky and require more of a āfish bowlā shape, like Gill from Monster High (might be a silly allusion but I canāt think of any other characters other than him and the Octonauts that have a bubble-like helmet). Really, all that is to say is, if you want to design one, go nuts. I do have a sketch for the wheelchairs somewhere that mermaid-style and centaur-style shrimp tail shifters would use, just need to clean it up and add some variations before I add it to the page.
But yeah! Feel free to ask any more questions you may have! And if you think it would be interesting, I could also make a lore discussion thread, where people can ask questions :0
Thank you for answering so thoroughly, this was really helpful :D I hope you don't mind, I have a couple more questions.
So, would the existence of many different variations on the religion perhaps mean there may be something on Aqaulis akin to a shrimp nun? If so, what general area(s) do you think they would reside?
Ooo, I'm really interested in the wheelchair, I'll be sure to look out for it when it's finished.
I think a lore discussion thread would indeed be pretty cool! Though, I've only been here for like two seconds so I'm not sure if it should be up to me.
Of course! Iām always happy to talk about lore :)
And yes! There definitely would be, and I donāt think it would be strictly femalesāit would be a sign of anyoneās complete service to the church/temple they belong to, just like being called to missionary work or something, it would be a similar feeling for those who pursue it ^^ Viradise is a theocracy, so I think that would be the most likely place, followed by Genora.
I made a the discussion thread for it, if you want to move our conversation so itās more organized!Ā https://toyhou.se/~forums/39317.chatrooms/348466.lore-discussion-questions-
