==Khorne== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
====Morality, Slavery, and Corruption==== | |||
* '''Slavery:''' Practically irrelevant; Khorne’s followers prioritize battle and bloodshed over structured societies. Captives may be killed or forced to fight, but not enslaved formally. | |||
* '''Non-consent sexual relationships:''' Considered weakness; lust is despised and suppressed in favor of rage and honor in combat. | |||
* '''Vulnerability to Chaos corruption:''' Very high. Already devoted to Khorne, further corruption manifests as greater bloodlust and mutations, enhancing martial ferocity. | |||
====Strengths & Weaknesses==== | |||
* '''Strengths:''' Unmatched martial ferocity, courage, and resilience; thrives in chaos and combat; fearsome presence. | |||
* '''Weaknesses:''' Single-minded rage limits subtlety, strategy, and social interactions; blind bloodlust can be exploited. | |||
===Gender Roles & Sexuality=== | |||
====Gender Roles==== | |||
* Khorne’s followers are almost entirely male-coded in behavior; emphasis is on martial prowess, rage, and dominance. | |||
* Combat ability and strength determine status; no formal gender hierarchy exists among daemonic warriors. | |||
* Female-coded daemons exist (Bloodletters, Daemonettes of other lore) but are rare and rarely mentioned; functionally, all are lethal warriors. | |||
====Sexuality==== | |||
* Khorne despises indulgence, including sexual pleasure. Sexuality is irrelevant or suppressed; followers are motivated entirely by battle, blood, and honor in combat. | |||
* Erotic acts are considered weakness; lust is taboo and punishable. | |||
* Any sexualized depiction of Khorne’s warriors in lore is extremely rare or symbolic, often reflecting domination and aggression rather than desire. | |||
====Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)==== | |||
* Sexualization of other races is **nonexistent**; Khorne’s followers view all beings as enemies or prey for slaughter. | |||
* Focus is entirely on combat, rage, and bloodshed rather than erotic fascination. | |||
==Slaanesh== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
====Morality, Slavery, and Corruption==== | |||
* '''Slavery:''' Exploitation of others is common, especially for pleasure or domination; hierarchy is based on indulgence and seduction. | |||
* '''Non-consent sexual relationships:''' Normalized within the culture; coercion and manipulation are often intertwined with personal power and pleasure. | |||
* '''Vulnerability to Chaos corruption:''' Extremely high. Slaanesh worshipers are drawn to excess, making further corruption constant and reinforcing decadent behavior. | |||
====Strengths & Weaknesses==== | |||
* '''Strengths:''' Seductive, cunning, fast, and elegant; skilled at manipulation, temptation, and exploiting desires; excels in subtlety and intrigue. | |||
* '''Weaknesses:''' Hedonistic excess can cloud judgment; overconfidence and obsession can be exploited; loyalty is fleeting. | |||
===Gender Roles & Sexuality=== | |||
====Gender Roles==== | |||
* Slaanesh’s followers are highly diverse in gender, often fluid, reflecting aesthetic perfection, decadence, and temptation. | |||
* Both male and female daemons (Daemonettes, Keepers of Secrets) are seductive, deadly, and socially dominant within Slaanesh cults. | |||
* Hierarchy is based on ability to tempt, dominate, and embody excess rather than biological sex. | |||
====Sexuality==== | |||
* Sexuality is central to Slaanesh. Erotic pleasure, seduction, and indulgence define both daemon and mortal followers. | |||
* Same-sex and opposite-sex attraction are common; indulgence in any taboo or decadent sexual act is celebrated. | |||
* Sex, pain, and pleasure are often inseparable, with extreme eroticism intertwined with worship and power. | |||
====Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)==== | |||
* Slaanesh followers sexualize almost all other races, using allure, temptation, and manipulation: | |||
* Humans and elves are prized for beauty and sensuality. | |||
* Dwarfs and greenskins are fetishized in exaggerated or exoticized ways. | |||
* Sexualized acts often involve coercion, seduction, or symbolic domination rather than mutual affection. | |||
==Nurgle== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
====Morality, Slavery, and Corruption==== | |||
* '''Slavery:''' Rare; Nurgle’s followers are communal, spreading disease and pestilence rather than structured enslavement. | |||
* '''Non-consent sexual relationships:''' Morality is warped; acts are often grotesque or tied to corruption and disease rather than desire. | |||
* '''Vulnerability to Chaos corruption:''' Very high. Nurgle’s influence is pervasive; exposure leads to physical and mental degeneration, though followers often embrace it willingly. | |||
====Strengths & Weaknesses==== | |||
* '''Strengths:''' Immensely resilient, hard to kill, patient, and persistent; thrives in attrition and spreading corruption. | |||
* '''Weaknesses:''' Slow, unrefined, and unambitious outside of decay; can become grotesquely dependent on Nurgle’s influence. | |||
===Gender Roles & Sexuality=== | |||
====Gender Roles==== | |||
* Nurgle’s followers, including Plaguebearers and mortals, are largely indifferent to gender; corruption and disease affect all equally. | |||
* Hierarchies exist based on resilience, devotion, and pestilential influence rather than sex. | |||
====Sexuality==== | |||
* Sexuality is downplayed or grotesquely intertwined with decay and disease. Pleasure is secondary; filth, rot, and survival dominate. | |||
* Erotic acts may exist but are generally symbolic, perverse, or tied to pestilence and corruption rather than attraction. | |||
====Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)==== | |||
* Sexualization is minimal and often horrifying: other races are objects for disease, corruption, or grotesque parody rather than desire. | |||
* Humans may be twisted into disgusting sexualized forms in ritual or corruption. | |||
* Elves, dwarfs, and greenskins are primarily sources of disease or ritual experimentation. | |||
==Tzeentch== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
====Morality, Slavery, and Corruption==== | |||
* '''Slavery:''' Manipulation is favored over physical enslavement; followers often bind others through schemes, contracts, or magical influence. | |||
* '''Non-consent sexual relationships:''' Exploited as a tool for manipulation, temptation, or illusion rather than personal desire. | |||
* '''Vulnerability to Chaos corruption:''' Extremely high. Followers are ambitious and scheming; exposure to Tzeentch’s schemes often changes them physically, mentally, or magically. | |||
====Strengths & Weaknesses==== | |||
* '''Strengths:''' Cunning, magical, manipulative, and adaptable; excels at deception, planning, and exploiting chaos. | |||
* '''Weaknesses:''' Physically weak, overambitious, and prone to paranoia; reliance on schemes makes them vulnerable if plans fail. | |||
===Gender Roles & Sexuality=== | |||
====Gender Roles==== | |||
* Tzeentch’s followers, including Pink Horrors and sorcerers, are highly mutable; shape, appearance, and gender can change magically. | |||
* Hierarchy is based on cunning, magical skill, and manipulation rather than gender. | |||
* Both male and female-coded daemons serve as sorcerers, agents, or manipulators. | |||
====Sexuality==== | |||
* Sexuality is fluid, mutable, and often tied to transformation, manipulation, or illusion. | |||
* Acts of seduction, deception, or temptation are common; sexual identity is mutable or irrelevant. | |||
* Pleasure may be experienced, but intellectual and magical schemes are often more important than erotic gratification. | |||
====Attitudes toward Other Races (Sexualized)==== | |||
* Tzeentch’s followers may sexualize other races as part of manipulation, illusion, or temptation. | |||
* Humans, elves, and even other daemons can be lured or coerced using glamour or sexualized deception. | |||
