IDV and BSD both have the issue of having characters that look super old or have stories that you’d put them at a certain age and age them down by at least a decade. Like why

I have the stupidest fucking theory on how Crime and Punishment works and it’s literally just me spitballing

So like. Fyodor is a very religious man as we know, and he’s a good couple hundred years old at the minimum

Now I’m delving into my vague religious knowledge a little I’m curious if it works something similar to the Curse of Cain. The context of the curse is basically he killed his brother right, and the Lord cursed him like if anyone harmed him the curse came back to hurt them seventh fold, he’d be forever a wanderer and that he’d have trouble cultivating the ground as he once had dominion over the plants, jealous over Abel’s favor with God with his lamb rather than Cain’s hard worked harvest.

Some ways to interpret it as well, is that the earth was cursed to Cain because it drank of his brother’s blood, hmm… sounds familiar? Of course vampires were also a valid fear at the time Fyodor met Bram but I wonder if there was something more to it?

Additionally the mark/curse wasn’t just a punishment as Cain almost was fine with people killing him because of the mark but God basically said yeah no you’re protected whoever kills you gets it bad mega. It was a protection and a blight.

Additionally, in Crime and Punishment itself, Rodion had a sister that he loved dearly. Asagiri doesn’t mind changing the story for a bit, so I wonder if Fyodor had a sister, murdered her, and was cursed with his ability in turn, walking the earth for eternity and that’s why he wants all abilities to be gone. His example of a god may have given him his ability but if he were to take them all away he would be God in turn.

This made more sense in my head but I hope this makes sense???
