#surperstitions

🍾 and 🍩 for Nela!

Thank you a lot for the asks, Kit!!

🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event?

She does believe in luck, on the basis that magic, in fact, can manipulate luck. Nela could probably go on for hours about the implications and underlying principles that make luck not only a factual part of existence but also something magic can actively affect. And not all forms of magic can! There are reasons only spellcasters capable of controlling certain spheres have access to it, and...

That said, given she doesn't have access to spells capable of such a thing (at least initially, i haven't checked if the angel spellbook has those), any luck ritual on her part is mostly surperstition. Which it's not her thing. She does have rituals to comfort herself and calm herself down, but not for luck.

🍩: What's a crime your OC is most likely to commit? What's a crime they're most likely to get arrested for?

Theft, it's theft. On both accounts.

You know, that magical research is there, so tantalizing... it's just taking a peek, right? Or just, you know, making a copy in secret! There is no harm in it. It would be a shame if the research were lost later!! It may have been produced by illegal and horrible means, but the harm is already done so may as well make the best out of it!! She just needs to ensure the research doesn't keep on!

Hi there!:)

I'm curious as to what superstitions, myths and legends there are, if any of the ROs are superstitious about certain things?

Hi! Thank you for the ask!

I have some sparse notes on religion, so let me pull those out lol.

People from Ahabalad have a polytheist religion with a few gods representing forces of nature. The neighboring countries (like Sarnah) have similar religions but with some variations in their names and legends. They've been influencing each other's beliefs over the centuries/millenia.

In Ahabalad, the divinity that is worshipped the most is Hadia, the Rain Daughter. There are many legends surrounding the Gods and their relationship with mortals. One of them says that the hero Hayat has killed Nergyl, the Son of Flames, millenia ago, putting an end to a time of violent seismic and volcanic activity.

In Teledrica, the religion and beliefs are pretty different. The Dwarves don't believe in gods, but in saints, a lot of them actual historical figures ascended to divinity. Each of them represent a virtue and a sin and govern a particular hell. There are... many of them lol.

There are a lot of statues of different saints throughout Lagodoro and a lot of the superstitions revolve around them. Sometimes you have to touch a saint's bum for good luck, sometimes you have to give them an offering, and sometimes you have to avoid them altogether.

As for the ROs, I'll answer under a read more because this is getting a little long lol.

Ajmal isn't very superstitious. He is religious and pays dutiful respects to the gods when appropriate, but it's not a huge part of his life either.

Zanetta isn't very religious and not very superstitious either. She's too practical-minded for that I think. She swears a lot, though.

Felice is a different story. Maybe they wouldn't be superstitious if they had an easier life. But at this point, they'll try anything to help them survive. If patting some saint's foot is said to bring luck, they'll do it. Why not? They've got nothing to lose. They'll take to any superstition from any culture, they're not picky. Their beliefs tend to mix the glimpses of memories they have of their own culture and the Dwarven beliefs.

Armine is not very religious and not entirely superstitious but she perpetuates some rituals more out of tradition and habit than actual belief. It reminds her of her roots and her family when she feels lonely.

Berhane is a person of science before anything else. They don't believe much in religion and less so in superstitions.
