I used to be a Christian. My mother is a Southern democrat in Oklahoma, and highly conservative. I'm gay - flamboyantly so - and constantly questioned the Bible even as a child. One of my first conclusions when I was around 8 was that God was manipulative, abusive, and told a half-truth to get his own children - whom he threatened to kill - to do what he wanted. My mother was mortified. Not only was it a bit heavy for an 8 year old, but it went against everything she had taught me.
I explained how religion in science went hand-in-hand, and was frequently told "I don't know" as an answer because I am incredibly persistent, and eventually went on to publish a few hard-hitting essays and pamphlets. My point is that I understand being a bit wild. I was, even though I was incredibly devout up until I was around 15 or 16, but there is a difference between portraying things in a certain way that are a little different, and doing whatever you want with something.
A more laid back Raphael is possible. The Bible was written centuries ago. We have no idea what Raphael is up to.,
And Uriel? You realize that the scrolls he was in were almost included in the Bible, right? For all the "no editing" talked about in the Bible, as far as I know on Earth mass produces a pure, but modernized translation of the original Bible. Even the Catholic church added things, and recognizes things that aren't necessarily in the Bible. There are manipulated translations that portray what is wanted, additions of mythical creatures that the Israelites never even believed in, and more in various versions of the Bible. Some are more open-minded to things excluded from the Bible since they technically should be a part of it if you believe the Bible should contain, well, all things could are legitimately Biblical and somehow linked to Christ.
> The Bible was written centuries ago.
Wrong, the Bible was written from the time of Moses to about 94 to 100 AD, if we go from the origins of Genesis to the origins of Revelation. The Bible was then compiled around 325 AD. The Catholic Bible uses all the books that were compiled at that time. Uriel was not recognized because he is not explicitly mentioned among the Archangels in the Bible. Why he is accepted by the Orthodox I am not certain.
> No editing talk.
Are we having the same conversation or are you shadowboxing? Seriously. It’s a habit I myself have trouble with. But I never said the Bible was NOT edited. There were several books that were deemed apocryphal when the Bible was compiled. Nevertheless this really isn’t the thread to discuss Christian theology and the Bible, though you are welcome to join the CDT.
> We have no idea what Raphael was up to, so write him how you want, but don’t write Hecate however you want.
This is the problem. Either I allow people to play (most) of the characters how they so choose within acceptable limits, or I force everyone to play them completely orthodox. I have to be fair to everyone. I can’t say, “Raphael could have had sex with groupies for all we know,” but then suddenly switch gears when Hecate is not written entirely as the goddess you worship. I will enforce when things are taken a little too far out of line, but Tori has already explained his character is not meant to be precisely Hecate.
Besides! This RP is about having fun and exploring gods, goddesses, and mythology in an odd new light. Of course people are going to play their characters a little different than usual, and that’s okay.

When I was in Mana someone basically made a character that was entirely memes. Not Prusse, someone else. Anyway they were a little too crass and they broke the mood more than anything.

Thanks for accepting my apps, Lumi, though might I suggest bringing the conversation with Arventum (Nice account name, by the way, very Latin.

But we have puppy gifs! Surely that gives us some sort of immunity!?

If Tori's character isn't Hekate, then can he at elast change the name? You can't hijack a worshiped Goddess and make them someone else entirely. She is a completely different entity.
