Death-of-Self is the selfless sacrifice, the proelium of a wage slave, the war of a loving patriot, the fight against the death of another.
Description
The Ego Death is the manifestation of the selfless struggle in face of great peril, to nobly sacrifice oneself in pursuit of a noble cause, to love unconditionally another, be it bloodbound or otherwise. It has been raised from those same sentiments inside humanity, be they Long or mortal, but still not unlike it's brethren, an Hour with their own motivations.
History
Death-of-Self manifested right after The Priest's demise, his noble sacrifice, as well as the overall sentiment experienced by humanity throughout The Histories spurred it into The Mansus.
Appearance
Its face and body are void of any gendered features, more akin to a mannequin than a person. Its skin is white but scarred and bruised all over, tainted with the blood of others and its own,
Principles
Unconditional love, hence heart, self-sacrifice, hence edge, pride of humanity, country, nation, culture or family and strenght of will, hence forge.
Worship
Death-of-Self is worshipped by those who search a higher purpose, and mainly by those who want to protect something else but themselves.
Cult: Ego Proelium Sum
A cult that focuses on the fullfillment of a higher purpose, the protection of those they love the most, and to the defence of humanity as a whole. It has an active presence in The City and the inner layers outside The Wall, serving duty as effective guardians of Humanity outside and inside the Waking World.
Cult Practices
They're a rather diligent cult, not content on doing shady rites and pursue self-centered goals, they are always present on expeditions to the outer layers of the Mansus, rarely returning from particularly disastrous or otherwise dangerous travels, more than willing to sacrifice themselves, if not for their mates, for the fate of humanity. Most of their rites consist in sacrifice of either flesh or lore, usually to summon Guardians or to enchant a certain weapon or tool, frequently weapons and armor.
Mark
- Temptation: A Love of Another: I've loved many before, but not like this, not this intensily.
- Dedication: An Overwhelming Selflessness: I can love more than one, but to a few I will dedicate body and mind to keep them safe, no harm will come to them.
- Ascension: Ego Death: My body is bruised and scars adorn it, I wage daily not for my sake, but theirs.
- Ascension: Ego Death: My hands bled today, they will bleed further, until I do what has to be done, for their sake.
- Ascension: Ego Death: My body is crushed under the weight of my responsibility, but my heart goes on, on until I'm dead, but not until they're safe.
- Ascension: My Body Broken: But my soul isn't, and theirs is sane, no scars adorn their flesh, at least none I couldn't take myself.
- I Will Keep Them Safe: My body is more resilient than it once was, but just as scarred and just as frequently bruised, Bás Féin gave me its stregth, I will put it into good use. They will always be safe.
