pumpkinhollowHello friends!!
As most of you are aware, one of the functions of our game is Favor from both goddesses and demons, which can be used to acquire Boons that can help you out as you play our game--- either by giving you cool items or unique new abilities! Interacting with the local deities is also a great way to get into the plot, either casually or in ways that are game-changing, and it helps the mods get to know your characters better.
Each character can have the favor of one goddess and one demon. They can have a relationship of some kind with as many of these figures as they like, but only the favor of one of each. Divine favor tends to be always positive--- reliant on one's virtues and interests, as well as their connections to the seasons or the realms of nature (land, sea, sky, beyond). Demonic favor, on the other hand, leans towards one's vices or fears. A demon might favor someone based on their own personal failings, or on the things that have harmed them in the past. For example, Eligos might favor someone who is a betrayer, or someone who has been betrayed. Their goal is to prey upon your weaknesses, ultimately.
Boons can be acquired by forming a direct relationship with the goddess or demon in question, via offering, prayer, summoning, or encountering during an event. They tend to be things relevant to the domain of the one giving it. Goddess boons are smaller things, but generally come with no strings attached, whereas demonic boons are more extravagant and will come with costs and pitfalls meant to cause harm. Minor demons aligned with the demon who favors a character can also give boons.
For more information on the goddesses and demons themselves, check out the Goddess Journal and the Demon Journal, as well as NPC Bios if you're interested in the minor demons! (Optional)
We have a chart for reference, which is editable by anyone, but we should touch base about which goddess/demon combo best suits your character before a decision is made! I've left some suggestions in some columns with question marks, and I'd love to talk to everyone about this as you're able. It would be easier to discuss it on Discord, but I'd also be happy to discuss it here if necessary.
In the event that you're not interested in interacting with this mechanic, you can opt out entirely, or you can simply give me permission to make the decision on your behalf.
I would strongly prefer that everyone touch base with me about this in some capacity, even if it's just to opt out! As the goddesses and particularly the demons become more involved, this helps me know how best to involve you in the plot. Thank you!
