Original question: Response: The Apostle of Wrath needs to be malicious. While mere mortals can enjoy the subtleties of passive revenge, to violence, battles, wars, racism, anger and insane fury all the way to murderers, in Hell things are a bit different. There is a more need for ruthlessness and hostile vengeance and the bring about of suffering. The souls must be tortured and I’ll smile while I’ll crucify another pitiful soul. The bloodied screams of those that are my enemies have been my harmonious symphony. Those who have betrayed me or I have been enraged by I have shown thus wise my displeasure. For example, in maiming when I believe those who have back stabbed me, I would rip out their spinal chord in return. In Hell be aware that anger and revenge are on a higher level, while if Topside I would scale this down depending on the situation. I would rather someone fall and be left to the hyenas of the soul rather than simply let something go. It is only my nature. Wrath is composed of several different things. Near the top of this, it’s hatred and malice. Not only violent becoming. It’s anything that someone has taken enjoyment from the suffering of another. Schadenfreude, a German term that means shameful joy. Be it so. On any level and should be the philosophy of the Apostle of Wrath. Take enjoyment from others pain through your harnessed wrath. No, I do not only revel in rage and fury driven wrath, as some may entail, I have mastered it. I enjoy watching the victim stress and squirm in anguish over simple things. Torture is more than just meat hooks. It should be original to the sinners. Sentence them to eternity waiting in line with the old lady who pays in food stamps and petty change, counting it out slowly. Or reflect the punishment on them to the sin they committed topside to be what they were pissed off with in the first place. Why not make them give enemas to the elderly that they made fun of? Why not turn the tables on the whites who hated the blacks and make them the slaves who receive 40 lashes repeatedly? Why not make them watch the 45 hour telethon over and over when they refused to help because their child was killed and why should they care? Why not throw the victim into a room with children constantly poking them and taunting them with a game of copy cat when they lost patience while baby sitting and they cannot touch the children? All these punishments can await them for eternity within Hell for acting out of Wrath topside. For creating the hatred and anger there, it’s only fitting they are tortured for eternity in Hell. Harsh physical forms of wrath are essential to dealing with the true wrathful sinners. The ones that have been so consumed by it they are separated by the ones that have only committed it a few times in their lives that were minuscule. The ones who have committed their lives to wrath are the special cases and the Apostle of Wrath should look into these and torture them. Like my old bastard, he was a murderous sick monster, and in the end since he murdered, and he will meet up with the Apostle of Wrath. INFLUENCE OVER MORTALS Think of us like a large corporation, ready to work, yet we are idle. We are many workers eager to bring about productivity to our employer, Hell. To bring in more souls that are just waiting to be corrupted towards anger, fury, rage and unrelenting vindictive natures. We have a mission and common goal with Hell. Being: “The Wraith Legions are the liaison with the hurt and vengeful soul. We strive to be that constant presence that promises the power for retribution. That craving for seeing the oppressor wriggle like a worm on a hook, anguished and vengeful in enforcement. We the wraith have the mission to uphold evil close in our union to the victim, under the leadership of the High Wraith to serve the Master in Hell. To push the soul to eternal damnation and suffering within Hell. Everyday as a unified network we will strive to continually exhaust all our efforts and members of our race to seek, hunt, corrupt from the light, possess and motivate the souls of ponies. Within the Mortal Realm and anywhere ordained by the Master or High Wraith, in the name of Evil. Close to the soul we will harbour, prey upon and speak the words of the High Wraith, along the path of Wrath to provide a guarded system from the Light. We will strive to eliminate the threats of Forgiveness, Hope and Humbleness, to be replaced with Condemnation, Angered Apathy and Defiant Malice. The Wraiths of Ru’Tai are demons who are dedicated to providing the highest quality soul possession services to the Apostleship of Wrath if implemented through the High Wraith and incorporate said souls into the system through assimilated torture for future return to the cycle. We are the virulent presence in the soul. The force, that will consume them with hate. We are the Wraiths of Ru’Tai.” The Wraith are born of the pure hatred and longings of suffering to others in the soul. Some are even a soul that has been consumed by it. Every mortal has a seed of potential to become a wraith if pushed beyond the limit to which they wish to crave vengeance. That is what the wraith are, vengeance demons. Through different levels within the wraith race, they hunt out souls, lead them deeper on to the path of anger, possess and consume them like an infectious rampant disease. They do not have souls really, and only answer to one, The High Wraith, who lives for the Master of Evil within Hell. In essence they are an extension of the High Wraith, listening and pumping more of the hatred and anger found within their leader into the souls of their mortal victims. The High Wraith has collections of all the torments within the souls any wraith has ever possessed. These can be transmitted through the network to new victims. The victims of the past help to fuel the collection of the new. Basically there are four levels of which a wraith is assigned to or will ever be, A Slip Wing, A Dracon Wing, A Feather Wing or A High Wraith. The Slip Wings are the seekers, the Dracon wings are the possessors, the feather wings are wraith born mortal and the High Wraith is the one who commands the subsequent levels and has been chosen by the Wraith Legions. I am the fourth incarnation of hatred which is the High Wraith. A High Wraith emerges once every few thousand millennia and it was ordained there would only be four. The last wraith to be anointed as High Wraith was to serve within Hell for eternity for the Master. The others have been forced to other secular worlds. I am the fourth and final High Wraith, chosen by the wraiths as a whole, as is such have a vast network channeled into me. By which I will be able to know each and every soul out there who is possessed by any of the wraith. Through me they will be led down the path of Wrath and moving them closer to damnation. The High Wraith is present through out the whole process and is the driving force to all the Wraiths, yet the soul is brought aware of my presence in the third and final step subconsciously, they know the feeling of wrath then. Begin to harness it through me. It is a three step process to influence the mortals by using the method I'm offering. It is fast, efficient and infectious. Step One: The Slip wings or seekers, hunt within the mortal realm topside, like a silent sweeping wind. They circle in masses once finding a victim and latch on to what the soul is currently troubled by. That is where wrath must begin, you must find the depressed and truly pained souls first. It is the first part of Wrath...PAIN. As Wrath should work tight net with Doom and Dread. That is what this is all about, finding more souls to bring to Hell for our Master. It is hard for only one to spread out and do this one soul at a time. Yet, through my Slip wings, I can seek out more souls, be alerted to them, begin them on the path to Wrath, and to my fellow Apostles of the other sins towards Hell. Slip wings are connected to the High Wraith at all times, for they are the beginning of leading the souls towards Ru’Tai or Hell. Slip wings find victims and grapple on to their souls; bringing up times the victim has been wronged, all the things that a soul is longing retribution for. They amplify the pain so much so, they attract and like a beacon, summon a Dracon wing to the soul. Towards the next stage of Wrath...ANGER. http://user.netomia.com/Bramble/step1.jpg Step Two: Dracon wings are the wraith demons which possess a soul. Through the threads of the amplified pain the Slip wings have left behind, the Dracon will latch itself within the soul. Once within the mortal, the Dracon begins to possess it. By using a connection with the High Wraith some of the hatred is fuelled into the individual. Each scenario is different, but it always the same. The pain is taken over by anger. Anger that is the drive beyond the rage and fury to come. This is the turning point and the wraith within the individual will now stay with them, guarding from the Light at this critical stage. The anger must be convinced to reject forgiveness. To make them feed off the feelings of resentment. That they must do something to get even or enjoy who they are and stand up for themselves. A Dracon wing works through methods of bringing up ideas of promising power or even playing the scenario over and over again in the victim’s head. The victim may be quick to succumb to what the wraith has begun to influence on them, but sooner or later they all fall. Dracons promise power, retribution, and revenge. They make the soul believe, that there is no one left, but one. That is where they cross into step three: subconscious link to the High Wraith. Dracons act like the driving force to the soul to wake up to their anger and forget the pain, not to dwell on it, but rather convert it, to a more dangerous level. They drive the individual more and more to find vengeance. To build the anger. To jump that hurdle to the other side, towards the next step in the cycle. Anger that must act as the catalyst to go several ways all entailing motion through rage and fury, the final step. The connecting link in the network to the High Wraith. http://user.netomia.com/Bramble/step2.jpg Step Three: This is the stage of the system where they are sent in direct connection with me, the High Wraith. As the High Wraith I am Hatred Incarnate, I can see what they are desiring and craving revenge over and promise them power. Rage and fury is the path of most mortals, they are slowly consumed by their pain and turned to anger, till it filters up and explodes to step three, their link with the High Wraith, me. Berserk is the other path where the individuals pain is so great that the anger is more than a spark to ignite the fury and it goes beyond the normal revenge. It goes to the level of possession that they are consumed to do anything to get vengeance over and over, it is their life basically until they die and end up in Hell no matter what. Any soul that has collapsed and given into the influence of evil while they are angry has already committed the sin, and there is no going back. You have done it and will be another link on your chain of sins hauling you towards the inferno. The High Wraith acts as the conscious presence sometimes, but it is recognized as a feeling or emotion in the individual soul. The need to gain back the bits of pride that were taken, is the motion which this stage helps to spur on. The High Wraith if the Apostle of Wrath, would be in control of all the feelings and concepts that entail what Wrath is as a whole. All the fears and emotions that any wraith has gained from a soul will go into the next. The wraith remains with the soul throughout their lives, making them commit wrath over and over again. The High Wraith keeps track of all the souls and is the force that pulls them the hardest towards damnation. Convincing them all the way through the deeds they do for him. That he is their only true friend and basically the souls that the wraiths possess are doing the work he has been set out to do. They are the mask that brings anger and hate to the world. It’s the wrathful souls that bring wars and racism to the world. Something’s possessing them, without reason sometimes, or they are too closed minded to listen. The High Wraith is there, keeping that mind shut like a steel bear trap. The soul commits revenge, hatred, suffering on others in the name of their own pride and the cycle continues over and over again until in the end and in truth, the High Wraith is what the soul wishes to be, Hate and Malice. Living vengeance to be played out again and again. Mysterious and highly detailed it is when dancing with a Wraith http://user.netomia.com/Bramble/step3.jpg Thus sums up how I would influence and my responsibility mostly as the Apostle of Wrath. To lead my corporation of Wraiths and run our “business” so to speak. Consider the power of many unified corrupters, compared to one sole corrupter. RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN HELL AND TOPSIDE AS APOSTLE OF WRATH Wrath is composed of several different things. Near the top of this, it’s hatred and malice. Not only violent becoming. It’s anything that someone has taken enjoyment from the suffering of another. Schadenfreude, a German term that means shameful joy. Be it so. On any level and should be the philosophy of the Apostle of Wrath. Take enjoyment from others pain through your harnessed wrath. No, I do not only revel in rage and fury driven wrath, as some may entail. I enjoy watching the victim stress and squirm in anguish over simple things. Torture is more than just meat hooks. It should be original to the sinners. Sentence them to eternity waiting in line with the old lady who pays in food stamps and petty change, counting it out slowly. Or reflect the punishment on them to the sin they committed topside to be what they were pissed off with in the first place. Why not make them give enemas to the elderly that they made fun of? Why not turn the tables on the whites who hated the blacks and make them the slaves who receive 40 lashes repeatedly? Why not make them watch the 45 hour telethon over and over they refused to help because their child was killed and why should they care? Why not throw the victim into a room with children constantly poking them and taunting them with a game of copy cat when they lost patience while baby sitting and they cannot touch the children? All these punishments can await them for eternity within hell for acting out of Wrath topside. For creating the hatred and anger there, it’s only fitting they are tortured for eternity in Hell. Harsh physical forms of wrath are essential to dealing with the true wrathful sinners. The ones that have been so consumed by it they are separated by the ones that have only committed it a few times in their lives that were minuscule. The ones who have committed their lives to wrath are the special cases and the Apostle of Wrath should look into these and torture them. Like my old bastard, he was a murderous sick monster, and in the end since he murdered he will meet up with the Apostle of Wrath. I want that privilege to welcome his ass to Hell. To open the door and be the one to torment him day and night within Ru’Tai or Hell. The Apostle of Wrath is responsible for all the feelings of pain, anger, suffering, hatred, rage , loathing, berserk rage, revenge, power craving, bits of depression, bold and unspoken anger, malice, vengeance, torture, murderous intentions and fury within this underworld and the topsiders. Through all these feelings Wrath must find out the souls, consume them, possess them and lead them down the path that is Wrath. To follow through all the stages of Wrath as noted in my theory of what Wrath encompasses. It cannot be mere whispers, it must be a driving force like a red hot iron pressed on their ass constantly. It's a vexation within these souls, and Wrath needs to always push that, those feelings of hostility and resentment from the other sins to lead to retribution for the mortal or dead soul. If it is brief respite or a long journey of near obsessive insanity berserk fury, Wrath is there, no escape, unrelenting. Like it was said before, Wrath is the one who is there when you're felt betrayed, like your only true friend. The one who promises you the way to justice. Like your life. But they must pay the price for thinking that I care when they betray. The price being, your soul for my Master. "Hey *****This set of lyrics explain how Wrath is there when no one else is, like how my Slip wings would seek out the soul, finding those that have been betrayed. The ones that feel like they have no one and begin to manifest them. Leading to the next stage that will forever be there. As a wraith possesses for life. These lyrics are like the High Wraith speaking through each stage of the path of Wrath**** I'm your dream, make you real **this is true, it’s sad that they have no power to stop this, but all the more amusing and fulfilling for Evil and me. The soul has a dream of vengeance or causing suffering on another to make themselves feel or look better. The pain of personal offence is still there, and I remind them of it constantly.** I'm your dream, mind astray **Sometimes a soul can be completely consumed by the rage that they lose who they once were. The pain and repaying mentioned here are the draining taken towards coming into the cycle of wrath. Eventually they pay with their souls to continue it on, to future corruption endeavours. This is step 2** you **this is when the soul is possessed by the Dracon wing. The wraith that eternally stays with the soul and listens to my commands as High Wraith. I am speaking through the wraith, they do my work of Wrath. The souls I corrupt are the ones who bring about the wars, hate and violence in this world. They do not know it’s me that is there, so it’s them that are shamed in the eyes of others** I'm your dream, make you real **Basically all that I’ve been saying, this is about hate. Wrath is hate and malice. The liaisons so close together they mesh to create that unavoidable and crippling, destructive force. Wrath is constantly craving the love they’ve been denied but never will regain. For all that I do to instil this favour of promising power, they must pay. Pay with their soul. “for nothing’s fair”** hey **The wraith took you here, and we have made you what you are through our corruption. This is your life now, welcome to the world of anger and harnessed vindictiveness. Once we’ve got your soul looped and headed for Hell we no longer care about you as an individual. Basically we never did care in the beginning, as wraiths are evil, and only want the soul as payment for what you wished retribution for. Repay. That is the business way. Nothing is free.** **The summing up of what the Wraith system does and is responsible for topside. The truth, basically Evil, telling the soul lies to get it to do what it wishes. We are in your eyes through possession, and planted all the thoughts and reasons you have to do Wrath. We are you. You are gone, you lost yourself a long time ago. Once committing Wrath you’ve sinned and will do so again, there is a wraith within you. Sad…but true.** -“Sad but True” by Metallica. Within Hell, the Apostle of Wrath creates all these feelings, but runs them like an iron fist. With mortals it’s anger, pain, suffering, hatred, rage, loathing, berserk, revenge, power, depression, bold, upspoken brash and basically all the ill feelings turned to action and motion on others. It is tied heavily with the other Apostles and sins. Topside all of this spawns, from the simplicity of subtle revenge to the higher methods of wrath on the different levels like, wars, hatred, racism, sadism, religious feuds, apartheid, depression, arguments, terrorism, revenge, ignorance, physical abuse, mental abuse, anger, serial killers, mass hysteria, battles, gang wars, homicides, predators, aggression, animals lashing out, getting even, cheating, stealing, lying, destroying property, arms racing, burning…etc. etc. etc. The Apostle of Wrath’s work is never done. Get me my network of Wraiths to aid in this, one demon cannot do it alone. For if you neglect any of the areas, less hate and rage is in the world. Wrath is responsible for all of this, and upholding it. In Hell I would have a number of responsibilities aside from running Wrath and torturing the souls of damned wrathful sinners and murderers. The Apostle of Wrath should actively search out the ones who speak ill of the Church and make them pay. This is also shown in how I feel in my answer to Eed’s question #2. The Apostle of Wrath should keep a weary eye on newbies and make sure to keep them in line. The Apostle of Wrath should be a Pony of Darkness and have roles within the Church that fit who they are as Wrath. I run Carnival of Souls, the Altar of EDP and my Realm and Ru’Tai. The Carnival of Souls is like the torture huh-bub of Hell. It will have all things pertaining to torturing within Hell and such. More is described in my Personal wrathful behaviours section. Yet I am just saying that this role as the head manager of the CoS fits the AoW as it’s all about the pleasure of bringing the torturing of others to the Church. All the methods and such. As well it is an archive of all the tortured victims within the book and victims of the month that will be illustrated and archived. I think that to show your interest in the suffering and humiliation of others you need to document it. The suffering part is what Wrath’s about. They could be stupid, but that belongs in the Hall of Shame. The battering of them belongs in CoS for others to take notes. Most of it is physical tortures but the mental anguished cases will also be archived. The CoS is an archive of pain, torture and souls that are on the receiving end of malicious acts. As well the Altar of EDP is fit for the AoW to take part in, as it’s the main temple that will host all of EDP’s treasures for others to gawk at and drool over, but can never touch. It’s also a system that tracks those who haven’t given in a long time. This responsibility could be the ones who haven’t given in a long time could be personally jabbed in the ass to get their act in gear, basically warnings, and then shoved towards Mecca to head to Purgatory. This is a time held tradition, and Purgatory should be the ones to deal out the punishment. Although wrath can aid in some ideas of what to be done based on the number of offences of missing a sacrifice the demon has. I think it fits nicely. Either way, I will implement the new temple for the church very shortly. Yet here is a glimpse of the outside of the Altar of EDP: https://www.angelfire.com/co4/c_o_s/altarsplash.html My realm connects to Ru’tai, the tunnelled caverns of fury and loathing. Here as Apostle of Wrath is where I would take all the special case sinners of my particular jurisdiction, the ones who have been so consumed by wrath it was their primary sin. True they may have worked with the others, but basically they lost themselves, who they were. Their soul belongs to Wrath. These souls can be murderers, governors, army dictators, hell even a Yahoo systems analyst. They are brought to Ru’Tai for special treatment, basically torture and anguish. The wraith put them not only through physical tortures, but specific events and scenarios that break their mind apart. So that have succumbed to the fury within them, and completely lose everything and all that makes them, them. The soul is deteriorated to a state of shadows and writhing hatred, this is when a new wraith is born. The utter and complete submission of the soul to Wrath. Some cases will never be converted, as they are literally living insanity and cannot be devoured for they know and reject the assimilation, yet they will be tortured, tormented and vexed day and night, relentlessly. Ru’Tai is the torturing grounds of the High Wraith’s victims. As well, the Apostle of Wrath should also lead a flame war now and again, why not pick apart a very ignorant and idiotic topsider? Find a place of corruption, and lead a corruption? I think that hunting and reporting anything based on Hell, even outside the MLP world should be shown and explored. Not only by the Apostle of Wrath, but by every Hellion. The fun we could have across communities with our influence. THEORIES OF WRATH The Path System of Wrath or the Cycle. Anger is the catalyst to which all emotions for retribution thrive upon. It can be taken as internally, not saying anything and harbouring it. Or lashing out a bit, through harsh words or action, but it is not full fledged wrath yet. It is the suggestion period where one must dwell on the pain and begin to build the smallest parts of hatred. It may not be intentional, but is the natural reaction and hard wired emotion we all have to regain that lost pride. Wrath works very closely with Pride, as this is the barrier that must be broken for Wrath to enter by. Anger is not the full motion of wrath, it is simply the starting point if the soul is pointed by evil in the right direction. It is apart of the system, and a vital one as it is the turning point where the light can stick its filthy good nose into and combat what Wrath has set out to destroy. As light is trying to save the soul. At the point of anger, you still can break away, towards forgiveness, something that must be stopped immediately, or the soul is lost. Yet one demon cannot battle the light alone. That is why the wraith will always be there guarding the individual soul being ready for any invasion of suggestion from Forgiveness and hope. Those damn virtues that would take away the soul. By using the wraith you would be setting up a security system of sorts if implemented. They are there 24 /7, watching , corrupting through possession and guarding the soul, using the High Wraith to pump in more fuel to push them over the hurdle of Anger to the next stage. Rage, the consumer. See my answer to Korku’s question for further explanation of what Anger is to Wrath, and how they differ. The consumer or Rage is what possesses a soul and is manifested anger of sorts. It’s a higher level of displeasure and indignation. This is the stage right after Anger, where the person can be turned. It’s crossing over into the realm of hatred, instantly wanting the need to bring about the destruction of other’s happiness. How dare they be happy while you are not! Rage is coupled with Fury. The wraith within this victim acts as its reason. Making all the excuses to why the person who spit on them should be forgiven are washed away so like a black gripping haze fills them. Rage is the consuming driving force that leads the victim further away from forgiveness and humble hope. The fact that rage is the pusher and instigator of fury within the individual, it is they are possessed now. Filled to the Apostle of Wrath, who leads them to the final stages…Fury and Malice. Hatred has been entered now. Remember there are the four major areas Wrath crosses over. Pain, Anger, Hatred and Malice. The feelings underlying them fall into place. For example, rage and fury fall into the area between anger and hatred, as well fury fits towards malice. After being consumed by rage the soul is now on the way to acting upon that built up feeling of oppression. Wanting and craving some form of satisfaction. The final method maybe hard to choose and wrath follows no set end path. I have said before that wrath is both conscious and unconscious. And this is like the fork in the road now. The victims of wrath that do want it would seem as though some text was lost here - Nofre The Three Tense Awareness Theory of Wrath The past is the accumulation of all the experiences that makes a demon who they are. All our lives are different. Mine has been on the path or cycle of Wrath. Going through the pain and suffering, to a turning point in my life where I became angry and turned towards the road of hate. You see my tormentor, my father, was the one who built up all the hurt and pain in me, coupled with others who, through most of my life I trusted very few, and still to this day do. My documented accounts of my past will further shed light on what I speak of. For now I’m merely explaining the structure system of past, present and future to Wrath. As I passed the fence of anger, rage began to build up. To me that feeling of wanting to harness and do something about your anger. Anger is just the spark to set you down the path, it is more of a passive side of Wrath. Granted it is a strong feeling of discourse, but whatever you do through it is rage or fury. I lived many years in the presence of this feeling, soon I’d do anything with rage and malice and I stepped into the stage of Hatred, nearing the top of the cycle of wrath. I was wrathful through all along this journey, as I’ve suggested there are different levels of Wrath. When the fury exploded and I finally faced that what I hated it caused my destruction, like wrath always does. I returned from death as a wraith like I had been born to be, as it was in my lineage. Things turned even more drastic in my death, the only one I ever truly loved, who I saw as an extension of myself was killed, and I wouldn’t give her up for anything, so I traded away part of what I was for her. They cut off my wings and ripped out my horns, forever an earth pony to serve as the ultimate humility for my Master and show my loyalty to Hell. To a wraith, losing his wings and horns is worse than eternal torture and pain. I took in this pain and added to what I already was, I fed off my hurt and anger. I harnessed it for my own benefit, to make me a stronger wraith. I’d be topside many times, and didn’t let many know of what I was for they wouldn’t understand. My father, still alive didn’t let me rest in peace, this is where I passed into the final (and almost the enlightening of a wraith,) stage of wrath. I crossed into ultimate hatred and malice. When the sick bastard violated my daughter, to which she still hasn’t recovered, something snapped inside me. All the pain of my life exploded, I felt it burn into every part of my veins as the red light surrounded me that night. When I saw her, my hate consumed me and I became hatred incarnate, the wraith within me anointed the High Wraith. The wraith had chosen me. I took extreme pleasure making the bastard pay for what he did to the only one I cared for. Love few. Trust fewer. Every motion that I took to crush and devour the place was like an extension of my hatred towards him, and all that have done this to anybody. He had done it to me as well, violated me. My hate just bubbled over, yet I had control of it. I would have killed him, but Nec told me not to. So I obeyed and let him suffer with nightmares in intensive care where he will never walk again. That night I became the High Wraith, I did not fully understand it until later. But I understood how to harness rage, and why I was called Red Malice. That was some of my experiences through the cycle of wrath in the past. All making a strong foundation to truly understanding what it is like to be a victim of wrath. As Apostle of Wrath I think you need to have gone through it yourself to truly appreciate and implement your power over the mortals. Keep your enemies closer, know them. I was one of them, I can understand most of their thinking. The past is an important tool to the Apostle of Wrath, without one the present and future would crumble. It is not only a past within Hell, but a past topside that is most important. This is the area that Wrath effects the most, Topside. Knowledge and understanding how it can bend and shift are of the most importance for the base of the three tense system. A past is the solid foundation, yet in the middle comes the present. To the Apostle of Wrath this is the current system by which they are doing their job. You need an effective method from which to maximize the souls you corrupt. It is extremely hard to do Wrath all by one’s lonesome over the whole of topsiders. If I was Apostle of Wrath I could make the present tense of this theory work wonders. Through the Legions of Wraith that I have at my command. This ancient race of demons has worked for 3 other High Wraiths before myself, they have the experience to do this. Think of what I’m offering like a corporation. I have all the workers on different levels to spread out for the common good of the mission and through the CEO, the High Wraith, take direct and energy. I take this very seriously as a High Wraith comes once every few thousand mellenia. I am the last High Wraith, and it has been ordained that the last High Wraith will serve within Hell to the Master forever more. So I am not going anywhere, and the Wraith are here to serve. All you need to do is harness our services to you for maximum soul corruption and output. We are effective and as a present and future force can and will never let down, as there is an endless supply of wraiths in this world and the next. The present needs someone with the experience and knowledge, the ability to employ wrath as well as have a method to do the job Topside quick and drag in more souls. The future is the final element that the Apostle of Wrath should take into consideration. Who will be there to run the Apostleship should you need to retire or leave for a day? Or even plant a seed for the future of other greater Hellions. I have already begun this, through my daughter, Thorne. I have been told by many that she already shows the signs of having the high potential of becoming a future Apostle. If she follows in my footsteps that is her choice, yet if I ever retire or need Hell to have a Wrathful presence in my absence, I will give this to my daughter. My daughter is a Wraith born mortal and is the daughter of the High Wraith. She knows the system by which I command and even though young, she will grow and heighten all of her skills as a wraith. All of Hell’s children although rare and becoming in Hell, (As how often is it that we have kids down here?) are our greatest commodity. For we can train them to become the next level of Apostles should any of us not serve for eternity or fill another of the Apostleships. They have been by our sides and have seen how we run things, it’s only fitting they will become powerful Hellions like their parents. The future is the final element that the Apostle of Wrath must take into consideration, and should not be forgotten. I’ve already contributed to the future of Hell and will continue to nurture the Hellion I have created. After all, raised in Evil only creates the hardened and ruthless Hellions of tomorrow. Past, present, future take them all into consideration when being Apostle of Wrath. The Importance of Wrath: One of the Seven Deadly This sin is deadly and on the front because it happens to each of us somewhere every day, it’s happening at every second. Harbored in the soul over time as well, it is like a life long companion and will never fade. You cannot run or hide from Wrath as it follows you no matter where you go. Like a wraith within you all the time. Let the vengeance demons be present always in our victims topside, let us guard these souls against the Light. A corporation willing to work for the mission that is Wrath. To corrupt and bring through bold and motion, the hatred and malice of the world. Truly Understand Wrath as a Wraith PERSONAL WRATH CHOCOLATE COVERED WRATH My wraiths have done a few test runs on a few individual souls. Some of the things which they report back or I can sense through our connected network make me smile. Revenge isn’t sweet, it’s actually salty with a twist of lime. Look at just a few of the accords some of my wraiths have dealt out, I find these quite amusing and they are coming from the viewpoint of the soul themselves on the account of their cycle of wrath: Wraith Possessed #1- Female, Legal Assistant: “I have worked for lawyers for 25 years. Half of the male lawyers hit or me or fried me because I wouldn’t go out with the. Most cheated on their wives. I lost of capital over these bastards, yet I got my payback. The last guy was this Harvard attorney about 65 years old - wanted me to give him a blow job. So I did. Then I just hung around the office and made him absolutely miserable. He was so upset, he almost had a heart attack. Wish the bastard had, he cost me a lot of money and pride in myself. I felt this need within me to get even so, I eventually quit, and I sent him an invoice for the blow job. I made up a fake company called BJ are Us, printed the invoice on beautiful pink paper, and sent it to his bookkeeper, this stuck up snob in his office who thinks she's working for the greatest lawyer of the supreme court. He got so mad, he called the police and showed them the invoice. The police and him came to my home and said he didn't want to press charges . I told them, he’s just like Bill Clinton. They broke up laughing. They put the invoice up on their bulletin board. Mr. Harvard Lawyer became the brunt of the police jokes where he practices law and was a former prosecutor. Last I heard, he was packing up and leaving town. Goodbye and good riddance. I’m glad I listened to that reasoning I had, pushing me to give him his.” Wraith Possessed #2 – Female, Disgruntled Girlfriend: “I had a boyfriend that I REALLY loved, but one day he decided that he got bored of me! Afterwards my heart got broken, and I was depressed for a long time. I started to concentrate on trying to get him back, but I was unsuccessful. I still did not let this go, deep inside me it stayed. A year later I met him and we did it for old times sake. But there was something different this time. I didn’t feel any love towards him, so when he asked if we should give our relationship another go. I agreed. With one thought in my head though, revenge. I had been reminded of all the tears I cried, for all the pain he caused me. After all, we were together for about 2 years. It was like this constant reminder of my suffering. How dare he assume I’d just fall back for him after all that! Yet lies are best for revenge. After a couple of weeks he thought that I was fine and deeply in love with him, but he had no clue how he was mistaken. One night I got him very drunk. So drunk he passed out. Taking the opportunity I carried him out to my car with my best friend, we undressed him, took all his belongings away from him and threw them away. During this whole procedure he did not wake up once, he was out stone cold. We left him in the middle of town, naked at 3 in the morning (summer so not very cold) and left him on a bus bench. My friend had another car and a video camera, and since she had a new car my boyfriend didn’t know about its existence. We sat in my friend’s little Volkswagen and waited for him to wake up. 2 hours later, many people later and many nights buses later he woke up (we filmed the whole thing), he was shocked, oh yes. The funniest was him trying to get a car to stop on the street, but nobody stopped. In the end we called the police station and the police came and arrested him accusing him of being a mad naked maniac running out on the streets. We put all of this on the Internet, sending it to all his friends and to everybody available. One thing is for sure, he never saw this coming from little sweet me! **the wraith inside her smiles widely**” Wraith Possessed #3: Male, Animal Hater huh?: My now ex-girlfriend always used to piss me off by insulting my friends. Saying they were animals and wanting me to spend all my time solely with her. She despised them, yet she always acted like such an angel to everyone around her. It pissed me off constantly so I decided to show the world how sweet and caring she really was to others. I kept having visions of making her into the lowest of the low, she hated animals? Fine then. This prank took some scouting and I did it with one of my “animalistic” friends. It required an item that is not readily available and none too fun to deal with once you find it. First, a trip to Wal-Mart to purchase a collar and a leash. Then we started scouting, driving up and down streets, roads, and highways for hours until we found what we were looking for. I'm sure you guessed by now that what we were looking for was roadkill, specifically....dog. Well, when we finally found one, (making sure that it was not too mangled of course), it happened to be in the middle of a busy highway. So, here we go, park on the side of the road, get out the garbage bag, and get ready to brave the traffic. Just our luck, as we're standing there, contemplating who should do the scooping , who should pull up behind us but the local sheriff. He happens to be a rather fat little man so in the time it takes him to get out of his car and walk to ours, we've figured out our story. He asks if we need any help, and with heart broken looks on our faces, we tell him that it is our dog Bimbo who has been run over and we would like to pick him up so we can take him home and bury him. He looked at us strangely, but helped to scoop the dog into the bag and throw it in the trunk. Nodded and told us to get on our way. Next step, put the collar and leash on the poor dog. And finally, at around 3:00 in the morning, we pay a visit to our mark. The prank here, tie the end of the leash around the axle or onto the bumper, whichever is easiest and most likely to not come loose. Then balance the dead dog on the axle or wherever you can so that it won't fall off until your "friend" has driven at least a block or two or hit a good speed bump. The gal ends up looking like a real asshole driving down main street, dragging the carcass of man's best friend Fido, possibly even attracting the attention of a cop or serious animal lover, possibly getting charge with cruelty to animals. Guess the world can see the “bitch” she really is!” **this is one of my favourites from a topsider. I still get a smirk thinking of this incident, my wraith work in mysterious ways** Though these test runs I can see that revenge is flowing in the topsiders. Hope you enjoyed just a few of the accounts of revenge that I see all the time through the wraith. Care for more? Wrath can be sweet. WRATH VS RAGE, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? Wrath is the whole cycle as noted many times. It’s the complete make up of several words. Ones who say, the wrath of so and so will come upon you, basically they are saying the journey of which the soul has gone down towards hatred and indignation will come upon you. Wrath is just easier to say for this journey. Wrath is Hate and Malice, to derive those two elements takes a lot of theoretical breakdown. Rage is often thought to be just aggression. If you believe this than you are closing your mind to what I’ve been saying to what wrath truly is. You’re confusing yourself to believe that rage is only forceful and violent acts. The mortal definition within the dictionary cannot describe its meaning to the fullest because they do not understand what is behind rage. As they are only the vicitms of wrath, not the creators of it. Who it is who is dealing it out. My rage is my motivator, my driving force a desire to create more suffering and pain. The dictionary couples rage with anger and rightful to do so. As rage is the next step after anger. Look within the stages of my theory of what Wrath is and you will see that it is only logical. Once you have turned away from the light, you are driven with the angered fuel to find the right method of payback. Some enjoy that payback so much that their rage becomes an old friend. They are revisited again and again, that they recognize it’s presence, and start to use their consumer to act out new ways of fury. Rage is the consumer. Wrath is the whole. If you master the stage of rage and tap into it, the methods by which you can employ wrath become more varied and intricate. HOW CLOSELY IS MENTAL ANGUISH ASSOCIATED WITH WRATH? Mental anguish is present in all of the victims of wrathful souls. The pain from the suffering or the humiliation can cause them to break down as well. The pain that is often the source of wrath can be fuelled by mental anguish. In my case I was mentally abused by my father, told over and over that I was worthless and couldn’t do anything. That only made me stronger, wanting to get even with this bastard because I knew better. That is what mental anguish can do, open your eyes unto the glory that is Wrath. If you are within the grips of wrath and understand that is has become apart of you, you do not suffer from mental anguish all that much. Those that are unconsciously berserker wrathful souls, they are going through mental anguish as they do not realize what it is fully that they are doing. Why they are lashing out over and over again. Wrath can drive some people insane. Serial killers for example. When one has completely lost themselves to wrath, wrath has manifested them unconsciously. Yet when wrath manifests and it has become only a part of who you are, then it is conscious wrath. Mental anguish here is only the hollowed out feelings of the pain that started this whole way of life as a wrathful person. 2. Provide examples of personal Wrathful behaviours. The argument that wrath cannot be based solely on a scorned past is true, it cannot be, but it must have this in it to be so. Without the solid foundation of a past filled with experiences of a life consumed by the cycle of wrath and then turned to hatred and malice, how can you even begin to understand it to the fullest to those that you are trying to corrupt and damn to hell. I know very well those that I would be helping to drag into hell. I know. I was one of them. Living forever and never being submerged in that life can not bring to you the full understanding of what wrath is to those you’re trying to influence. Through my wraith, I’ve been able to connect with them, I can see their woes and desires for revenge and hate. Through my own experience, and now with the highest position within the wraith race, as High Wraith I encompass all those feelings of people who have been wronged and transmit it out to others again. I command an army of vengeance demons to possess and corrupt souls from the inside out. Make them believe we’re their only true friends. In all fact we’re betraying them. Is a passive Apostle of Wrath really a good image to portray for Hell? To never wield your rage and lust for suffering on others? Just to sit by and smirk because it amuses you? I don’t think so. Rage can consume and fury is the motion. I have demonstrated this point of not being a passive demon in many ways. Every time that I have inflicted violence or hostility it turned a head, it inspired some, it has made some fear me, but it has always been for a purpose. I enjoyed every single act of causing suffering I committed to the fullest. I do not go around flinging blindly my thorns for no reason. It takes a lot of concentration and skill to summon thorns. With my ability to summon thorns from my body or my surrounds in any form or manner I can conceive, I use it to bring about the attention to the victim and all, that the injustice will not be tolerated. I do this by violent means within Hell because I enjoy do to so. I revel in the feelings of the suffering I’m enforcing as the rage flows through me. And it’s Hell. A little slap on the wrist isn’t good enough or a dark chuckle from the shadows in a place like this. I have conscious wrath. I know why I’m doing it, and I have control over my rage. I harness it to do what others sometimes do not. Here are just some examples of what I speak of times for within hell and topside that I have been here: ** One of the first things I did when I joined the Church; I remember the time when Brian was flaming the topside corruptible board of Kingsley’s. I was there on the front lines and slammed him back and forth with a few others from Hell when Eed called us all to retaliate. Not many came, but I went. Like a sophisticated demon I played within the rules of the place and through means, slammed him with insults that left him without a good response. Domi and Void were there. In the end through the help of Void I castrated him and black bagged the remains for EDP’s silver box and returned to hell. If memory serves me right, the last actual quote under “The Book of the Dead” title was “Hell hath the bits o’Brian bag” Hell, his soul and castrated nuts are still in the silver box. If you’re stupid enough to challenge EDP, her friends and demons are not far behind. **When Greenmoon was so bold to yell her discourse at EDP for not putting her link on the members list I took out her lungs. A fitting punishment for her, she would not then have the ability to have the wind to yell back at my Master. **As EDP’s Apprentice I have been there front row centre if anyone is stupid enough to disrespect her in anyway. Remember that newbie Raven? Who was dumb enough to walk into Hell without getting EDP’s final say? Who was there to impale her ass to the wall until Eed arrived to serve a firm ass booting out the door? Me. Bullshit even did a drawing to immortalize that. **Calbeck. **chuckles a bit** One Topsidder, who was lacking a brain a particular day questioned the terms of the Church and me in general. I ended up taking out his liver as a sacrifice to EDP. A little gift from a topsider who deserved to rethink getting drunk before coming online. **Who knows what happened to her, but Dane’s still running around tail-less. What a nice shaven ass she has. After being a complete moron and posted a pointless rant about how she was bored and wanted to know if anyone was online to chat, she got irritated demons down her throat about it. She got angry and retaliated to EDP even saying she thought we were all being stupid and she had the gawd given right to post anything she damn well pleased. Eed I remember, had said something about settling her perky ass down. So I took the opportunity to cut Dane’s tail off completely and handed it to Eed with a smile. May the world know how perky her ass can be, without her tail and a raging case of haemorrhoids that one of Chris’ diseases inflected her with. As my machete sabre at the time was covered in different elements of disease thanks to my bro. **smiles a bit** I think she may have received flesh eating disease as well. Haven’t seen her since. **Alice. Ah, what a charming insanity demon she was. **quirks a brow** Many do not know where she ran off to. Yet I may have a clue. When she first came online to AIM, I’d taunt her and test her constantly. I wanted to see what her reaction would be. And I was feeling particularly sadistic that night, but in the end I played a guessing game with her, to answer where the quote “shriek the lips across a ragged tongue, convulse together sing violently” came from and what it meant to the game. Basically for each guess she got wrong I summoned my thorns to slowly begin to crucify her. I was perfecting my method of crucifying that night as well. Nec was there. She sadly enjoyed the pain as she kept getting all the answers wrong. But in the end the lyrics to Superbeast came through. The quote from the song was to be her violent screams in anguish, again sweet music to my wraith ears. She was fully crucified, onyx thorns through the tendons in her wrists and finally she told me what she hated the most. Her and that damn voice in her head. Being burned at the steak. She was already on a large column of twisted thorns, so I set it on fire and left her to burn and writhe in agony shouted out how sadistic and cruel I was to enjoy the torture of her. She was still hanging there the last I knew of. Something strange I noticed was whenever I was on AIM and her screen name signed on…she’d immediately sign out. Seeing my name instil something? We may never know. But it was a great pleasure to torment her. **There were times way back at the beginning of the Church that I would go about and find sacrifices for Eed to push it every week. I wonder what happened to any of us doing that anymore. I wish to change that come with the Altar of EDP, yet that is another issue to be dealt with elsewhere. I travel topside and I remember a time I went to find Eed a large screen tv. The sales clerk wouldn’t shut up. He wouldn’t leave me alone when I just wanted the damn TV. Set. In the end, he irritated me so much that he ended up in two halves, and I stole the tv anyway, Future Shop laying in a pile of rubble. Suits me. **smirks** **We all know how the Nether Crap was taken down by Deava and I admire her highly for the end results. Yet many do not know that when we first found out about this place none of us knew of the link. I was enraged by the idea of this mediocre version of our beloved Church. So I decided to find out that link to this place. To go undercover as a Pony of Darkness, as I always have been. I am constantly searching for places that dare to mention us or our leader EDP. Well, Eed knew that Pandi had been plotting something, and as her Apprentice I vowed to get in and find out all I could. I assumed the identity of my highest wraith officier, Rakkai and entered as a phoney member. A planted spy encouraged by Eed to be a link back to the Church. I could smell the pettiness on every page on the chat boards that Pandi had created. I found out some amusing shit, and that’s the real reason why I blew up at Void for back stabbing me trying to plant the lie that I was unfaithful to the church. What the fuck ever. Eed knows where my true loyalties lie and will always. I am a Pony of Darkness, a spy and lurker for the CoED! Anyway, I found the link and presented to Eed, the rest is history. Shortly after finding out some more about the Crap Verse I took away Rakkai and came back home for a nice long shower. I had to get all that slimey crap off me. The things a spy will do for his Church. **As a Pony of Darkness, I am a roaming demon finding potential places to corrupt. Wrath should constantly be doing this. Where can we have fun without new victims. As well as bending others minds to join us within the flames of hell Topside and irl. I’ve brought 2 new members since I’ve joined. And have a potential 2 others in the horizon that I’m working on. I will constantly be looking for new members. Isn’t it delightful though to bend a mind to be possessed to evil? To bring them back where the torment knows your name? **grins** I remember a time when I was searching for the CoED, I found us listed on the Portal Evil. All how they thought Nec’s horn looked like tin foil. Lead the way to flame wars! As well I so love going topside to make them squirm. Kingsley’s isn’t enough I think it’s time that the Church has P.o.D that will have a flame war night once a month or so. **smiles at the thought** **At Nec and Mec’s wedding I was on edge, ready to give out any punishment to any who would oppose it. As was Nofre. In the end, only after when the custody of the twins was granted to Nec and Mecca did a problem arise. I stand by my form of wrath that night. I had warned Ombrefeu not to interfere in any matter, to not show up. And she did. I warned and stood by the custody decision, so I enforced a cage of thorns around Omby, it was to keep her at bay, to make sure that she stayed in one spot while the rest of the night went on. My thorns were used to keep that good night from being tarnished anymore. I know how some feelings people harboured because of that night, but I wouldn’t allow any of it. So in the pillar of entwined thorns Omby was kept at bay. **We all remember the Lust challenge. During which Void back stabbed me, and I still frown upon of the incident. I do not forgive things fully, it takes a lot of time with me. We all saw how through the Nether Crap shit my loyalty was put in question through a fucking lie. So how did I response to a back stab? I ripped out her spinal chord. Not literally. This maiming I did more than just kick the shit out of her, I took out Mecca’s tail colour, because I felt that Void didn’t deserve it all. In a time when Mecca showed compassion for her, she didn’t for Mec. I serrated numerous tendons and such. Hell, I could have crucified her I was so full of fury. I enjoyed doing that to her that night, it felt good because at that point in time, she was at an all time low, and think of this type of revenge and wrath...I let her rot with the idea that she lost one of her only remaining friends down here. In the end I said it takes time for me to forgive anything, but we have sort of resolved it. Maybe it was a misunderstanding of such, but I still stand by what I did that night. And the fact that a pic was inspired by the idea of my daughter would have snapped her horn off still makes me grin. **Some will see the utter enjoyment I get from maiming a newbie for no particular reason. That’s why I’m known as the Red Malice, I enjoy the suffering and screaming of others, I’m aware of what I’m doing and take no offence at all in doing it. Take Bullshit for example. When he first came here, I hated his name and elephant concept, hell my dog has free meals all the time now, but anyway. I have never called him by his true name or “Perry” as some have called him. Nope. I’ve called him Bullshit from day one, even from Topside I inflicted a bit of fear in the boy, hell he’s always weary around me. I used to inflict physical torture on him for no reason; either using him as a dart board or just fighting for the hell of it because it was amusing to me. It is always worth a smirk every time he goes OWWW! **lol** Just Ask D the time we felt like tormenting him one night , he ended up ruining my leather sofa, so I skinned him to replace the missing fabric. My rotweiler, Diesel, has always attacked and chewed apart Bullshit. Can’t control the dog all the time, as Diez is a ravenous bastard, has to eat all the time. I loved watching my dog eat one of his elephant through the skull outwards on a particular chat log one day. **When an old retired apostle of lust needed to be greatly informed of her status as RETIRED. I took out a staple gun and stapled it to her forehead. If you leave that long at least make the effort to read a bit about what has changed in your absence! I was defending the honour of my best friend and EDP. I think you insult the whole RPG by not updating yourself! Wrath lives off of rage and hatred. Personally there is someone I hate more than any other in this world. Three guesses as to who that is? My fucking father Chief. I’m going to get into my past a bit and share who I am to let you see a little into my experiences along the path of wrath. In the near future I will have a documentation on several points in my life that many do not know of but make me who I am in more depth. My past is the solid foundation to my understanding of wrath, as I have explained such in my theories of Three Tense Wrath. As many know I am a wraith demon. A race of ancient demons spawning from pure hatred. It is rare for a wraith to be born mortal, but I was. Red isn’t a normal pony colour for the pink and frillies. Red is actually the colour of anger. I was ridiculed my whole life about it, and it was like a racist act over and over. My best friend Twist, when I was alive went through something similar, he as completely dark charcoal grey and we were always mocked and made fun of. Even hunted at times. As a wraith I was born unto a long line of them through my mother. All my childhood my father physically abused and mentally tore into me. He was a sick bastard, and I vowed that if I ever had a child I would never be like him. What I despised the most. I was always the odd one out in life, evil to the core in all I did. My old man, Chief, had taken me away from my mother at a young age. She was the only one I had trusted in my life. I got the shit kicked out of me many times, until one day that I struck back and nearly killed my attackers. My step mother was no better than my father, Heart Throb. She’d blame all her problems on me and think my half brother, Chief Jr was a sweet perfect angel. She never understood my evil nature and would perform exorcisms on me, not on my half brother. In the end, I was the one with the bruises, the pain. And that’s where my journey started, at a broken home. The pain began. Scars do not fade so simply. I began to get angry, and my father was the catalyst that sparked more of it and I almost killed him one night. I’m still kicking myself to this day, as I should have killed him. I left home and was in a gang for a long time, seeing many of my friends killed and killing many ponies myself. I lived a life that wasn’t really going anywhere. I had met Specter Shroud and she had taught me things that I did not know at all, that I was born to be part of the darkness within Ponyland. I learned I was a wraith, and when I would die, then I would be anointed. Time passed and after many an ordeal with Specter Shroud, we were to be wed, and my father hunted me more and more. He found me one day and we fought, in the end he murdered me as I was burned alive in lava. My death crossed me into Purgatory, where I waited and was sent to Hell for all those I had killed. I had crossed into rage and fury by that time, nearing the final stages of out right Wrath. I looked to my back and I had a set of wings and four twisted horns on my head. I was a wraith. When I was alive I was a plain earth pony, now I had the full body of my wraith form, but that wasn’t to last. Wraiths usually have four horns and will always have wings. I was sent back to the mortal realm to rally the wraiths born mortal, as Specter was one and many in her clan. I did not return to Hell for a long time. And in that while, Specter became pregnant with my daughter Thorne. The idea of having a half dead demon child terrified Specter Shroud and she slowly drifted into insanity. She renounced her Wraith heritage and sacred duty to Hell. Three days after my newborn daughter was born, Specter dropped her from the sky, killing her. I couldn’t bare to see her go to Heaven or to Limbo, as she was my first born and I did not want to become what my father had been for me. As well as a wriath I loathe the Light. I took my daughter to the Master, and we bargained. He bound me up and cut off my wings from my back, they ripped the four horns out from my skull. I was left to be forever more an earth pony. To show to the world my humility and loyalty to the Master and Hell. For a wraith, there is no higher humility than losing his wings. Yet I took it, for my daughter and my loyalty to Hell. Love few. Trust fewer. A motto of Wrath. Losing my wings is my eternal sign of my loyalty to Hell. As an Apostle should show. This only made me stronger, and over time within Hell I established my place. I became EDP’s apprentice and have shown through the examples previously given and many other times within chats and book logs, that I am not passive at all, I’m bold, like Wrath should be. I am a master of rage and fury forms of Wrath. My chosen form to manifest. One night, my father (still alive) hit my weakest point, but in the end made me stronger than I ever was before. My daughter had been missing, and I had found her with Nec topside in the clutches of my father one night. He had violated her physically and mentally. Raping a little girl, only to try and rule me. He never would. And even though he tore into me, he made my hatred for him manifest me. That night, the wraith chose me. They saw that I knew the true definition of Hate and the ability to harness it. That night I was anointed the High Wraith, to command and enforce the Wraith legions. The highest of all Wraith, I became hatred incarnate, as it is rare for a wraith to live and die in the world. Wraith live within the shadows of the soul and within Ru’Tai, the tunnelled grounds of fury and loathing. Through this my behaviour has been affected in that I am a Wraith, my abilities include my elemental power of summoning black thorns, briars vines and such in any manor shape or form. Be it from my body or the surroundings. My thorns cannot hurt me at all, as they come from me and my body instantly heals over, thanks to my wraith power of intense healing. **pokes a thorn through his skin without so much as a blink, summons it back in and the wound heals over** I feel no pain from it. Some of my favourite methods of using my thorns includes impaling, crucifixion, binding, pinning to the wall, serration, anything really. My thorns are versatile. I can use them even to create body armour. My demon rottweiler, Diesel and I share a psychic link. I talk to him in the demonic tongue of the Wraith. Founded within Ru’Tai. Irashai’tiran Wraith. An old phrase, Destroy with Fury, Wraith. Just thought I’d give an example. More on the Wraith History soon, yet I must say that the souls that are consumed with hatred and berserk wrath are sent to Ru’Tai to be processed so to speak. Basically tortured till the point they too become a wraith to join the legion. Then the cycle begins a new. I can absorb others pain and rage and understand is as the High Wraith, as it all filters over to the wraiths to infest in others. I possess the talent to use green lightning, another old wraith trait. Many do not know but I am an expert blacksmith and have made several weapons for those that asked, even my own machete sabre, made from pure iridium and diamond edged. You could say I’m a weapons expert. Some of the behaviours or roles I have within Hell that would influence Wrath include: Pony of Darkness: As mentioned I have been a spy and lurker for the CoED. I constantly am scouring and searching for potential places of corruption, those that speak of anything about us, recruit members, constantly mention us through the rules of other places. The more you mention and hunt the more the Church grows. That is what we want, to be heard and recognized within the Pony Realm. Even topside at Pony Meets I scare them to the wonders of Hellish Ponies. I assume my role as the pron artist at most Pony meets. They’re like “Hey you’re the one who draws pony pron!!! O.O” It’s fun to watch them squirm over it. We’re the original society that created this concept of PRON. That’s how I enact more wrath, I am a hunter. I look for places to slam and scare. I enjoy doing this. Even with the pron, I love watching some of the curious, squirm with shock. It’s a milder form of wrath, but they still have the mental vision of it in their pink and frilly minds. As well I’m corrupting them towards the beauties of evil fun. High Wraith: Simply put I’m running a large group of demons that are full of hatred and malicious intentions. They are hungry to consume more souls. Waiting right now, within Ru’Tai. Ready to work for Hell, to corrupt and possess the souls topside. To act as the guarding system from the Light. Like the corporation of the Wraith Legions, my department is sitting idle waiting to be more productive to make the cycle run faster and more efficiently. Haul them in and create more wraith to consume more. In the end the wraith will be on the front lines of the end times, creating more woes and such. Also influencing the wars and racism to come. Carnival of Souls: This is still within final construction stages, but it will be the central hub of torturing within Hell. It’s like Hell’s department store. From torture methods to souls ready for everyday Hellions to mentally break and physically maim, it’s all gonna be in here. As torture can be sadistic and thoroughly enjoyable for most demons, Wrath runs as rampant as the communists do within topside. **smiles a bit** Look to CoS to be the archive of all the best tortures, attacks, deaths and general rage within Hell weekly and the victim of the Month, put on display so we can all laugh at. I’ll even illustrate the incident to immortalize it. Altar of EDP: A new place which has been started construction. I will be the head Demonarc at this temple, which houses the Altar. A place which will showcase in style EDP’s treasures. The system that sacrifices should be presented weekly by newbies has faded. Time to choke a chain and make them start creating again! Show your respect minions! EDP is our Master. Bow! I figure that if I were Apostle of Wrath it would make sense for me to hunt out the ones that haven’t given sacrifices in a long time, if they haven’t, hand them over to Mecca to spend time within Purgatory, as is the custom. I just would keep track and be glad to document them all within the Altar or in CoS. A smirk on my face seeing them condemned to a week within Purg. My Realm and Ru’Tai: Ru’Tai is the ancient tunnelled caverns of the Wraith. The ancestral home of this demon race. I believe it will be Wrathful Behaviour to run this realm as it’s an extension of my soul and Ru’Tai is the home of my Wraiths. As High Wraith it is like our dispatch centre. In this realm of Ru’Tai the sinners of Wrath would be kept and taken to torture, to be assimilated again to either be cast into Hell or turned into a wraith to serve Hell. If I were to be elected as Apostle of Wrath, I would open up a second with more accounts of Wraiths who have possessed ponies. Like the given three examples within what I think is “chocolate covered Wrath” **smiles** It is a realm of fury and loathing. Where the Red Malice also likes to relax with a good symphony of screams and anguish. These are some of the things I thought of regarding this question. Behaviours within Hell are important to the position you hold and what you are within Hell. **his eyes glow a bright jade** 3. Define the relationship between Wrath and the other Apostles of Hell Evil or the Master Apostle: This is the closest relationship Wrath must have I believe. One that must have an understanding and a strong loyalty to and communication with. As I've been EDP's apprentice, I've worked under her teachings and shown countless times my loyalty to her and Hell. I understand all the sins within Hell under her teachings as Evil, she's encompassed them all. I have that understanding to apply them to Wrath. She is my Master and always will be. This communication I speak of relates to how Wrath must be to Evil. Tight communication and almost woven with ideas shared. Wrath relies heavily on Evil as that is how the results and ideas come from for Wrath. Evil brings all of the ideas, powers and secular ideals to each and every Apostle. Evil is the highest and the most powerful Apostle. She is the one, that makes us who we are and already owns our souls. She is the voice of the Master and as such we must have a deep respect, loyalty, humility and overall eternal boot licking to her. Bow! No matter how much power an Apostleship holds, no other is greater than the Master Apostle. She rules and I believe is the source of all that is Evil within this world. She brings us the powers to manifest us, to do our jobs. Evil, is the representation of us against the opposition, the Light or Good. As is such, we all must do our jobs to honour the Master Apostle forever. The relationship to do our job right and effectively is honouring her. Some other things that I noticed Wrath would do for Evil is you must hunt out all that oppose us, spy and report back what you find to her. Wrath must be the ultimate upholders to the CoED's pride with the pairing alongside Envy and Pride. It’s like a tag team effort. Wrath would seek them out and find out ways to tear them down, Envy would rub it in their face and gut them apart as well, like in the recent Nether Crap incident and Pride would aid in both. Be it from flame wars to searching for potential places to corrupt. Wrath needs to be on the front lines, working to make sure we're in everyone's face. And this honours the Master Apostle. To be one of her major fighters for Hell. As Evil, Wrath needs to rely on that relationship as well to aid in the ways to drag more sinners in. To corrupt their minds to thinking evil is alright to do. What is Wrath with souls with strong consciences? Break them I say! As what the Master Apostle of Evil does. She turns ponies from the light, and is the leader towards the dog pit. The dogs being the Apostles, to rip and shred the soul a part and damn them within Hell. I guess you could say that Wrath is part of Evil's Task Force. The vengeful force that will not hesitate to kick the ass of those that mock or disrespect us. Wrath moves in a line with the other Apostles to work towards hauling in more sinners to Hell. Other Apostles will influence the success of Wrath and Wrath in turn working to make it beneficial to them as well. Death: Wrath to this Apostle position is close knit but also hindering to it. Wrath sometimes influences murderers...and in the end they kill off those that Death hasn't marked yet, or perhaps has and it is planned this way to aid with the taking down of souls. But more over Wrath creates the murderers and tortures these souls in Hell for eternity, making his job a little more easier. Death can also easily bend and snap those whom Wrath's victims have been. Meaning those that have been on the revenge receiving end. They can be so destroyed inside that Death can convince them to commit suicide. Even in the event that they may lead to overdosing on drugs or jumping from the roof. Another of Death's methods. There are many things that Wrath can lead others down towards Death's doorstep. More over Murderers and Suicides. Wrath acts like a step before this Apostle as all the other Apostles do. An example of how Wrath, and another apostle can work towards Death can lead to a more efficient demise is as follows: A man has been consumed with rage and the hatred he has for his wife whom he has caught cheating when he has arrived home from work. In basic feral rage at the sight, his anger all but abolished and now riding the final waves of retribution and hatred through wrath, he rampages to the closet and pulls out one of his hunting shot guns, shooting her in cold blood along with her lover in their bed. Wrath has played the course, the man is a murderer. He goes to jail and is sentenced to death row, Doom visits him now. Sweeping in with the feelings of misery and anguish, it is the step before Death. His thoughts race and in the end the misery and hopelessness take him over, Death whispers in his mind and heart it’s time to go, convincing him he has nothing left to live for, and he hangs himself by his bed sheet in his cell. An example of how Apostles can work together to bring about the end of the cycle of soul collecting. Death is always the final passer. By this all the Apostles should have respect for him as well as aid as best they can to quickly bring about the destruction of the soul. He’s the last stop before Purgatory and Hell. The guy works a huge job for little pay, least we can give him is a bit of assistance. Gluttony give him oreos as well. Envy: This is a large ally to Wrath as it's affecting how the souls that Wrath influences can be turned to anger, one of the steps in the cycle of wrath. The victims can be so envious to gain power or to regain their pride when wronged that they'll do anything for revenge. That is where Wrath comes in, it is the driving force towards the next sin. Envy is the leader to Wrath. It could be the creator of that pain that is the first step in the theory of what I believe the path of Wrath incorporates. Envy can prod and poke at a soul. Tear them down, making them yearn for more and more that they never can seem to possess. Wrath provides the voice that says “yes you will possess it.” This begins the process by which anger possesses. A Dracon feeds off the feels left behind by Envy. Look at the situation, a pony’s neighbour has a brand new SUV, he worked very hard to obtain it, yet the pony himself is envious of it, as all he owns is a beat up piece of shit car, the envy begins to grow. His neighbour makes a comment that insults his jaloppy like “How’s the rust running this morning?” The selfishness grows, and soon a lie emerges that begins to pain them. Pain is the source of wrath. In a second the owner of the cruddy car has been insulted, he harbours a resentment. Enter Wrath. A few days may pass and the pony consumed with Wrath could innocently walk by with his keys in hand and slide them over the SVU’s side panel while, “returning” some mixed up mail to his neighbour. Envy has aided Wrath. Greed: Another large player. The Apostle of Greed can have influence on the pre-victims of Wrath or any other of the souls we hunt. The fact is that Greed is in every single soul, no matter how pure, it is easily twisted to get what you want. Seeing as Greed works close with Lust, this can derive Wrath. That need for vengeance is what helps fuel the possession that Wrath has over the mortal. If my wraith system is implemented, I could work with the Apostle of Greed to help aid the corruption of the souls faster to move towards committing themselves on the path of revenge and greed at the same time. More over it's for Wrath, but it can branch off. Greed can benefit from Wrath as some of of Wrath’s souls can be spurred so much so that they can become selfish and greedy. They want more to glorify themselves. Why stop with only one soul? Greed digs into the mind of the soul with Wrath and fuels them with more whispering lies of suggestion to find that which they truly crave. Wrath is the enactment of enjoying and seeking out another’s suffering through hostile means, but Greed is more of the passive side. The soul consumed by Greed wants only self fulfilment, wanting more materialistic gain, not suffering; that is Wrath’s job, suffering. A teenaged girl in high school is one of the top members of the cheerleading squad. She at first didn’t think that she wasn’t much better than the rest. Over time though her coach notices her talents and urges her to try out for the leading parts in the latest routines. She does so wanting and craving the attention, Greed. She obtains the position, and with the aid of Pride she revels in it, Greed doesn’t stop with her yet. The cheerleader moves up to be the lead cheerleader. The squad all look up to her, she didn’t care who stood in her way, and in the end she the most popular girl in school and can get any male she wishes. She notices this one young man, and in the end, he refuses her. She becomes offended (Wrath) and does all she can to try and win him over, Greed again. It’s both Greed and Wrath intertwined. She only wants him materialistically, not for his suffering. There are varied forms of Wrath. Gluttony: This Apostleship can work before or after with Wrath. Wrath's relationship to this sin is that the victims of Wrath can turn themselves back to depression. With depression brought on by Doom or Dread, they lead to Gluttony. This is a tight worked system. All the Apostles need to work together to bring in the souls, and the possibilities that can be presented can be immense. Yet I'm giving examples of workings as I go. Gluttony needs those to consume more, and the fact is its not only limited to food consumption. It can also be lead to the need to consume more of another's suffering. Like Greed, but in a different way for fulfilment. I noticed that victims of Wrath usually crave more and more retribution. In the end Gluttony and Greed influence some of the feelings that fuel Wrath. It is the Apostle of Wrath's purpose to corrupt the soul to want vengeance no matter the cost, through images of promising power, acting like the only one who is there, who truly understands. Wrath is the voice to its souls, Gluttony and Greed throw in suggestions from time to time. Gluttony influences beforehand, during the pain and sorrow stage of wrath, just before the anger consumes. If on the receiving end of revenge, the souls can be so upset and hate themselves completely, they can turn to Gluttony. Take this example in hand: A mother has tried to become pregnant with her husband for so long now, she does and is quite larger, her husband pokes fun of her size, she gets a bit hurt by this. The baby is born, and she still is a bit overweight, and she can’t seem to shed the pounds afterwards. She remembers the words her husband had said and takes a personal wrath trip. She begins to hate herself. She stops exercising and begins to eat more things to drown in her sorrow, Doom now on her doorstep. Wrath was that self loathing. She consumes more and more, Gluttony. So in the aftermath, Wrath aids in providing more souls for the other Apostles to corrupt in their own images, through it’s own work on it’s corrupted souls. Sloth: The Apostle of Wrath could work with the Apostle of Sloth to bring about fiercer nightmares in the minds of the victims of both Sloth and Wrath or any for that matter. The nightmares can corrupt the individual to be so consumed by fear or loathing that it can lead to several things. The ones consumed by fear can be lead to Dread. As well the ones within gripping fear will have a hard time sleeping, Sloth could effect this and deny them sleep causing them more pain, leading to another of the Apostles...like Doom. Wrath's influence on the dreams of it's own victims can create easy access to their deepest desires for vengeance, showing them what they truly can achieve and slander them to believe more and more they have been betrayed. Or even act as an outlet to let a wraith slip into their mind while they are asleep to torment them more so. I’ve seen this done before. It was how the wraith were released into the world, and how I could get even with my bastard father. I may not have killed him in real life, as to obey an Apostle, but I did kill and torture him in his mind. An accord of this incident will be coming shortly. Sloth could also benefit from Wrath's victims. As they could come out battered and bruised from the path they chose. Sloth can take away more of their drive to do anything and maybe even turn them into vegetables; not doing anything. In the end they are dying pathetic, landing them in Hell. They have been rendered useless within the topside world. Wrath has sucked them dry of hope, and Sloth can use its abilities to take away all the ambitions and any spark of hope or desire to do anything anymore. The soul is now ours to ravage to Hell. Lust: Another instigator relationship. This can be taken in two different ways in relationship; Wrath coming before Lust, and Lust coming before Wrath. In Wrath coming before Lust, either the victim or the ones hurt by Wrath can be passed to Lust. Through revenge brought on by Wrath, the ones who have fallen victim of the revenge are in a weakened state. Their minds are easily bent towards getting pleasure and finding something they really desire. For example, A young girl who was recently hurt by her boyfriend’s wandering eyes when they were out, dressed herself up rather revealing as a form of vengeance on him. It is wrath, subtle but effective. The boy was hurt by all the attention she was getting from guys at the club they were at, step in Envy. The young girl was getting guys hitting on her, and she took up flirting in return, beginning to forget her boyfriend. Her boyfriend hurt as well, begins to get even with her by starting to hit on other girls as well. Lust has stepped into place. A sample of how the victims of both revenge and wrath are effected by lust for a way back to peace or take out their woes in lustful activities; trying to lose their sorrows in sex or self amusement. It's interesting to think that, but the pain created by Wrath can influence the ways the mortals will move on to the other sins. Now if a vendetta were to arise before by Lust, and Wrath follows, this can because the individual was denied or dumped. It would place a past Lust victim into the black claws of Wrath, as a Slip wing would seek out that pain found in the individual and start the cycle of retribution towards Wrath. This is more of a before sin who passes the victim to Wrath. Lust even helps to fuel the rage and fury stage; aiding in the drive to push the individual to obtain what they crave through indignation. Darkness: Wrath can work with Darkness to make sure that the pain acquired by the individual is harboured and influenced on others. Darkness can amplify the pain felt. As Wrath would pass it's victims to Darkness, either further leading them towards suicide or depression. Wrath can instil a harbour of hatred, and turns a mind to obsession of it. I suppose that Darkness holds this as well, for it can dwell on the thoughts of evil and make it’s victims blind sided to only one view, offering solace through dark reasonings. Wrath can be shown in the form of sadistic nature, darkness can feed off of this type of suffering enjoyment. Darkness works more ahead of wrath in the harbouring of the pain and shadows to which the soul bends towards anger and vindictive nature. Doom is a close associate of this relationship. Dread: This is a relationship that can be mutually beneficial to both soul corruptors. That is what Apostles do, corrupt souls towards Death and then to Hell; raking them in, like cheap fuel. The souls that Wrath deals with can be influenced by Dread before hand by being sought out by a wraith demon if implemented. A Slip wing is looking for those that are in great pain, or even fear. Dread is the bearer of fear and worry. A soul that has been wronged can be scared of what will happen to them sometimes, if it is a drawn out fear of someone, like a bully or racist. They can be bent easier to suggestions of pain and suffering. Once this has happened, Wrath begins its course, as it’s born within pain. Pain is like an eye opening situation, bringing the individual to think, there is something that should be done to escape it. That they must find justice for what wrong has been done to them. As well once Wrath is done with them, the victims of wrathful souls can be put into fear and worry. Worrying about when the next revenge plot that will hit them. For example: A young boy has a bully. The bully is under the influence of wrath, as he has already himself been through pain and turned towards hostility on another. The young boy is afraid of the bully, this is where Dread steps in, as the worry increases more and more, brought on by the one influenced by Wrath. Dread can snap them up faster this way. Another way on a larger scale that Dread and Wrath could work together is war and battle wise. A nation is being attacked with bombs and terrorists methods, brought on by the racist and hatred found in Wrath. The nation under siege is now in the shadow of Dread. Dread can work a looming fear, chaos and worry through the masses. Wrath can aid this then, making them turn to hate themselves. Burning with the passion to destroy the opposition, crying for blood. They hate their assailants, and do not care about the innocents on the other side of the battlefield who have nothing to do with the war. Dread and Wrath can create global chaos, hate mixed with fear, stains the ground red. Any way to bring masses to Hades. **grins** Yes, the damage with Dread is astounding. Fear is a powerful tool. Doom: Pain and sorrow are the starting points for Wrath to manifest itself into. By working close with Doom before hand, Wrath can rake in more victims for possession on the path to Wrath and eventually to death or back to consuming pain with Doom. This is a multi-level relationship that Wrath has with Doom. As pain and suffering, as well as misery are sources and results of Wrath. Doom's depression capabilities are what make and destroy the victims of Wrath before and after. In the beginning, Doom can bring about the sorrow and misery. There could be for example a man who has just lost his job, he’s lost his hope in finding another one. Basically he’s turned to depression and sorrow. Deep in a misery that he is worthless. That is Doom’s influence on him. In the next stages of this case, he could begin to think and be reminded of what it was that cost him his job. His boss maybe? Anger begins from the pain, the hurdle of anger is crossed and he hates his boss, blaming him for his dismissal. He begins to plot revenge. Wrath has begun to take the soul over. It could lead the man anywhere from humiliating his boss to murdering his boss if driven at the right level. In the case like some of the other sins, Doom can influence those souls that have been wronged by Wrath's souls. Make that fear and loathing work for them. Murderers, the creation of Wrath can instil the sickness of Doom into the murder victims; that gripping sense of one's own impending doom. The homicide victims through the whole ordeal could be feeling immense pain and suffering as well as fear and terror. Dread comes in here. Yet the sorrow and misery within the victim is present too. Crying and beginning not to be killed. This angle of the relationship works with Death as well. It's a relationship that works to help easier fall the victims we are trying to push into the fires of Hell. It is amplified hopelessness once Wrath is done with them, passes them to Doom. Doom can also before hand amplify the feelings of sorrow and they were wronged, making them easier to infest with anger. Pride: Is one of the front liners along with Wrath when it comes to the deadliest of sins and upholding the CoED for the Master Apostle. This Apostlistic relationship works like a partnership. The Apostle of Pride needs to boost up the soul making them think that they are the hot shit so to speak, and when they are wronged by another it is bashed, they fall, and guess who's there to catch them? Wrath. Wrath offers that net to regain their power and pride. It's all in the name of retribution, or regaining your pride back. Once that is established, Wrath can pass these victims on to Pride again. To the point where their head is so filled with themselves, they'll lose all reason or fall again; easy prey for Wrath or Doom. It's a tight knit relationship, meaning that Pride is one of the reasons for Wrath. It's an instigator from which to work by. Without Pride Wrath cannot be. We all get angry, and it's because our pride or respect has been hurt or tarnished. Looking at this I believe that if the Church is ever insulted Wrath and Pride along with Envy should be one of the firsts to respond to this and lead the way to justice to uphold the Pride of the Church. Aren't demons pride filled creatures by nature? I think so. All the easier to bring out the rage and fury in them. Overall that is what I believe to be the basic relationships between all the apostleships that Wrath has to the other 11. The Apostles are the ass kickers of Hell when not topside. Yet most of their responsibilities lay above to the mortals. Yet to Hellions they must set the standard and set examples. Be productive and more importantly implement some of the characteristics of their apostleship into Hell. They will deal with the souls that they have corrupted in the end, basically torturing them to their own means. Wrath has a huge amount of souls to deal with, almost everyone one of them has sinned at some point wrath. Wrath is an important sin. It can be silent at times, meaning that seething anger build up in an individual, but eventually it must filter up and burst. A person who harbours hatred and doesn’t say anything isn’t really reaching the highest level of wrath, which is the fury and motion. Wrath can be reached at it’s highest point where one is totally engrossed in the sufferings of others they continue to do and make it apart of who they are. Serial Killers, Torturers and Sadists all have reached this level, where they enjoy it so much it is all they do and it’s their life. Wrath. To get there they needed the other sins as well. Wrath must show its presence. From a subtle pissed off feeling to ripping out another's throat, it's all connected to the other Apostles. As their influence on the victims of Wrath are essential. There wouldn't be anything to instigate as Wrath if we didn't have these relationships, as they'd be blanks. Wrath is more of an action sin as well as a manifestor. Without the despairing feelings and condemning emotions brought forth by the others, Wrath cannot exist. It is a dependency so that Wrath can do its job effectively. Just as if there was no Wrath there would be a weaker link on the other Apostles sins. Death would be left with a garden of do-gooders to kill. Oh what fun is that. That he would never hear them beg not to die, or hear any more screams. The mortal realm silenced without screams because of the pink and frillies from the light upstairs being allowed to run rampant? It's sickening to a demon. The Apostles are the ass kickers of Hell when not topside. Yet most of their responsibilities lay above to the mortals. Yet to Hellions they must set the standard and set examples. Be productive and more importantly implement some of the characteristics of their apostleship into Hell. They will deal with the souls that they have corrupted in the end, basically torturing them to their own means. Wrath has a huge amount of souls to deal with, almost everyone one of them has sinned at some point wrath. Speaking of the upstairs crowd, as Apostles, we all need to be aware of our opposition and find better ways to combat them. Like there are 12 Dread Priests...there are 12 Holy Apostles of Light upstairs. I know that Wrath needs to combat the Apostle of Forgiveness. **shudders** So much work to make sure that she can't get her grubby hands into my victims. That's why if I was Wrath, my wraith legions could easily shove her influence aside faster than if it was only one against her. A vast network of demons can push away the influence of light more easier than by one soul demon alone; to guard the masses they are trying to corrupt. It will only end in the victims turning to the light through forgiveness and letting incidents that hurt them go. What fun is that? You lose more of the souls meant for Hell, Apostles lose their purpose. Yet that is our purpose, to gain more souls.. The main relationship we all have in common. We are here to do a job that will lead to more souls writhing in eternal anguish in Hell for our Master. To take them from the light. That is something we all know and must work together to achieve. Even if we feel like cutting at each other's oesophagi out at times, it must be done. I leave with this final thought, the Apostles are carrying out jobs, taxing heavy jobs that need to run smoothly and evenly to maximize the total output of souls to Hell. It’s like a business really, and all the Apostles represent 12 different departments, each with a specific mission and method to carry it out. All might do well to keep Kaizen in mind, a Japanese term for constant improvement by all to gain greater efficiencies. If I were Apostle of Wrath my department would have a network of hard working and obedient wraith demons ready to search, guard, possess, corrupt and lead souls towards the mission of Wrath. Wrath is a large department to run, from slapping your date on the face to planning the next nuclear weapons arms race, it takes a lot of employees to run that, and a solid manager. As I would be, the High Wraith. I’d use my wraiths to work in unison with the other Apostles to gather and implement the evils we have been assigned. The chosen few that manage the darkness within the world. Apostles, although not completely harmonious, using the idea of constant improvement, could bring about more abolishment of the enemy of us Hellions, The Light’s influence. To our Master we serve. |
