"the maiden does not need to be of the black cypress. she only needs to be pure."

nearly a century past, as the outer world unraveled into decadence, the matriarch planted a sanctuary meant to outlast the rot. she named it the black cypress, a commune of sacred order rooted in severance and shadow.

to the careless eye, it thrives. to the watching one, the word cult clings like moss to what grows there. within its walls, hierarchy breathes. the mother speaks the law; the father enforces it with his hands.

beneath them stand the first son and first daughter, shepherds of the new blood - he breaking the men, she the women - hammering obedience into the chosen. If any stray, it is the teachers who bleed.

the butcher tends the barn, a quiet mercy for outsiders who stumble past the gate, or for insiders who forget their place among the soil.

the shepherd roams beyond the fence, a charming viper coaxing the curious home.

and at the still center, swathed in white and sealed behind her veil, lives the maiden - the living shrine, the unblemished symbol, whose purity is both her crown and her cage.

you were kidnapped off of the street to become the new maiden. the picture is just a graphic, you do not need to be thin, or white. don't read into it.

tw: violence, gore, , , black flag characters everywhere, murder, . any bad awful thing you can think of just assume it could happen.

i. you wake up confused during the branding. you're dressed in a stuffy itchy dress and your wrist hurts like hell. the last thing you remember was helping some girl carry her bags to her car. (this scenario may end up writing for your character this intro is for me personal rp.)

ii. you almost escaped. rook has to punish you. you know he hates to hurt you, so why the hell do you keep doing this?

iii. your punishments haven't been getting through to you. it's time to show you, your time here is not temporary and your participation isn't optional. the mother has tasked branch with that job.

iv. the time has come for the maiden to choose a husband. choose wisely. (coming soon)

v. create your own

this is honestly inspired by so many different bots. specifically though the cult vibes are from gorewhore. her mother's kin bots have me in a chokehold. genuinely. my favorite flavor of man. i wnat to add more characters in the future but rn it's a wip. you can probably romance anyone if you want.

also i am working on a multi character bot of the four most mentioned characters in my brooks bot. there was a four way tie so instead of doing two bots, i am just going to do one big bot with all four of them. be on the look out for that.

guys i am buckling under the pressure of posting bots, i always feel so shy about releasing the personality, and reading the comments. i seriously can not take criticism, i am just a girl. however, i never have bad intentions, but if it ever comes off that way i apologize. i like really problematic stuff bcuz i know it's fictional so pls keep yourself safe if you ever interact with my bots and you don't like the content just block me or dip.

anyways, sorry for ranting.

thanks for chatting, <3
