The Libidine Cult

- In Lust we Live -
The Libidine Cult believes that fulfilment comes through the art of pleasure. They tend to contact sexualised demons such as Succubi and Incubi. Most of the time, great parties are held at secret venues to carry out their ritualistic practices and many are 'sacrificed' sexually to the gods. 
The Gods
  • Malum- Malum  (May-lum) is the main god of the Libidine Cult. Looming over all mere mortals, Malum is a demon with curled horns, a muscular red figure and hooves on his feet. Malum mainly carries similar characteristics to the Devil, making deals with members of the cult, offering them their greatest pleasures at the cost of their consistent servitude in the afterlife. 
  • Dare- Dare (Da-reh) is the goddess of sacrifice. Many Libidine cultists sacrifice themselves, in body and mind to greater demons so that they may be reborn on the Earth as a Succubus or an Incubus.  Sacrifice to Dare is usually painful with a striking feeling of fulfilment at the end of the process. 
  • Damnatio-  Damnatio (Damn-nah-tea-oh) is a dangerous and vengeful god who takes out his anger on those who choose to suppress their sexual desires e.g. those who have sworn to keep their bodies to themselves for life in search of a better future. Damnatio has the manipulative skills to debunk all faiths and drag those who suppress kicking and screaming into Libidine Infernum. 
​A Common Libidine Ritual
A common Libidine Ritual is known as 'Tempus plus'. 
  1. Libidine Cult will gather in a meeting place.
  2. Libidine Cult will party where they drink and mingle. 
  3. Libidine Cult will meet in the main hall. 
  4. Libidine Cult will derobe, masks remaining on.
  5. Libidine Cult will then proceed to sexually bond with one another in the presence of others. 
  6. At the end of this, blood is taken from those present and given to the gods, usually Dare. 
The Libidine Attire
The Libidine Attire is a sacred attire that all Cultists must wear to a ritual. Most of the time it consists of a simple black robe tied off in the centre with a coloured rope. The rope it is tied with usually depends on their status. 

For example:
  • Virgin- A virgin can be a literal sexual virgin or a person who is new to the cult and has yet to be initiated. Virgin's wear white ropes around their black robes. 
  • Initiated- Those who have been initiated wear a red robe around their waist to show that they have broken their seal and are now part of a higher cause. 
  • Libidine Cultist- Initiated are not yet Libidine Cultists. To become a Libidine Cultist, Initiated are expected to involve themselves in a higher gathering, usually at a summoning, interacting with the summoned. It is suggested that these Libidine Cultists have seen the Libidine Infernum and therefore are more knowledgeable. 

The Libidine Attire robes have hoods so that sexual outlooks on appearance can be reserved for rituals. This also means that everyone is to wear a mask of their choosing whilst they are present in a Libidine Cult gathering. 
​The Change
Libidine Cultists tend to look forward to what is know as 'The Change'. The Change is a cultists chance to become  a higher being immediately instead of being forced to serve demons for a few years. Not many of the cult are allowed this honour, only those who are smiled upon greatly by the gods. The Change is usually a random occurrence where a chosen Libidine cultist wakes to find themselves transformed. This is often painful as the cultist sheds their skin to reveal the beast they have become but this can be reversed to allow for a human form. Cultists usually become Luminary (Loo-min-air-ee). Luminary are creatures that must feed off sexual energy to maintain a good life. They are given a more lustful aroma which allows them to bring in their prey more easily and they feed off the energy the collect during sexual acts.  A Luminary without a sexual meal becomes gaunt, their skin shedding.
