Sora Nishant
Seraph Sora Nishant
I will hunt down all who oppose you, my Queen.Sora Nishant is the youngest and most recent member to be promoted to the rank of Seraph by Dame Fortuna , joining the Lunar Pantheon as part of the Luminary God-Queen's Inner Circle. Formerly an avid follower of the former Seraph Abdul Bashar, they were disillusioned by Seraph Bashar's plot of insurrection on the year 250 and betrayed him to the God-Queen. The God-Queen executed Seraph Abdul Bashar and rewarded Sora to take his place, granting her a dark power useful for hunting down others.
Cult Membership and Betrayal
Seraph Abdul Bashar was blessed with super strength, and he was a regular sight all over Haven helping out in all sorts of jobs and tasks in civil services. He spent more time with the citizens of Haven than any other Seraph, though of course less than the God-Queen herself, and he gathered his own large following giving sermons of Luminary virtues. Sora Nishant was a teenager who regularly joined these sermons, often going to them straight after the daily Temple Prayers to the God-Queen. However, as the months passed, Seraph Bashar talked more and more about the injustice the God-Queen represented, treating the Luminaries and Haven like one would cultivate a zoo, never sharing the full extents of her blessings, never helping the Luminaries advance their own technology and life quality beyond what Haven had always had. His rhetoric eventually transformed into active plans for a coup and insurrection to depose the God-Queen, and Sora decided she had heard enough. Washing her hands free of the matter, she snuck into the Central Palace itself, past the Lunar Guard, and walked into the God-Queen's throne room. Having snuck herself into getting an audience outside of the Temples, she revealed everything that had been happening during Seraph Bashar's sermons.Promotion Baptized in Blood
Seraph Bashar's sect was quickly raided and arrested entirely, with the Seraph himself not resisting arrest by the Lunar Guard despite still retaining his super strength. Wrapped in chains of golden light constructs, powered by the entire Lunar Guard and Sora too, he was led into the God-Queen's court, where he was pronounced guilty of both unbelief and spreading it, whereupon he easily broke free of his chains and launched himself towards the God-Queen in a final attempt to realize his coup. The God-Queen effortlessly took back his power, and cut his heart out mid-leap, ending the coup immediately. Acknowledging the new vacancy in the Lunar Pantheon, she immediately picked Sora, still at the tender age of 16, as the new Seraph.Rooting out Disbelief and Threats against Luminary Gods
Now known as Seraph Sora Nishant, she spends her days making everyone wonder if she accompanies them like their shadow, with even the slightest utterance of sedition being sent back to the God-Queen as intel. She serves faithfully alongside the other Seraphs in the Lunar Pantheon, and even gives birth to and trains a daughter, Ashwin, who like other Cherubs, inherits her mother's powers. With the arrival of the Moontides Message, the God-Queen directs her and the other Seraphs to accompany Layla Fortuna down to Fountain, where she is tasked with spreading her darkness throughout the city and the underground route of Fountainto Drain to gather as much intel about the natives and local flora and fauna. She plans to prove herself the most useful to the Luminary campaign of converting the entire city, and eventually planet, to the God-Queen's worship.Physical Description
Special abilities
Instead of super strength, Sora was blessed with the power of shadows to help her hunt down any new sources of dissent and disbelief before it could ever grow this big again. Her regular Luminary golden light constructs became, something which any Luminary can do, became black as tar. She can teleport from shadow to shadow as easily as walking. When in shadow, she and the darkness are one, and she can alter its consistency from being as thin as air to as dense as tungsten, effectively a form of shapeshifting that only works in the dark. While it can be easily countered by simply shining a light on her, most disbelievers are already unconscious from struggling to breathe in the darkness around them. More effectively, the shadow teleportation, and ability to be spread herself all over a darkness, all over nothing, means her prey never see her hunting them.
