Hello, how you doing?
Can you tell me more about the religious believes of the orphanage oc's?
Like do they believe in anything?
Take care 🫶
Ooh that's an interesting question actually ! Let's see…
Abel has read the genesis and other religious books but has a more theological approach to it than a real belief system. He's interested in the way humans have developed cults but doesn't believe in any of it.
Cain has a peculiar relationship with Christianity because he's used it's imagery to form his appearance but has no idea what it is actually about. It's purely superficial. He doesn't believe in anything and if he ever did, all the horror he lived through would have squashed his beliefs anyway.
Eli was born jewish but he does not practice or really believe in any of it. He had very little religious education to begin with and he hasn't turned to religion as an adult. He wasn't even circumcised so that should tell you how little religion had to do with his life.
Viorel had an eastern orthodox christian upbringing. When his parents were alive they would celebrate important holidays and go to church on Christmas, but religion got slowly decentered from his life after their death when his (less religious) uncle took him in. The family that adopted him are also Christians and would go to church on sundays. Viorel himself has a pretty shaky faith because of all that's happened to him, and later when Abel reappears in his life he definitely think that God has abandoned him.
Ismaele was raised by his catholic grandmother who was pretty pious. He also went to church on sunday and on important holiday, would pray with her before meals and before bed and such. He still believes in God as an adult despite being an hitman. He's certain someone like him will end up in hell and avoids churches, though he will sometimes pray still.
Ange's parents were protestants. They weren't super religious and would celebrate most holidays at home until his mother left, after which they stopped celebrating entirely. Ange would identify more as agnostic as an adult but he still enjoys celebrating Christmas and other religious holidays as an excuse to have a good time.
It is unknown what religion the person that became Doe had before the experiment. Nowadays, he doesn't believe in anything and does not have a good grasp of what religion entails.
Valya was raised Christian in a pretty religious family, but that religion was mostly used to exert authority by his father. They weren't good at going regularly to church due to the chaotic nature of the household. Valya was often corporeally punished for disobeying his father who used the word of God against him. Even after being taken from his family by social services, he still saw God has being this abusive father who was spying on his every move. Due to his current condition, it is impossible to determine what his believes are nowadays.
Domen was raised as a Christian but his father was always very pragmatic so they wouldn't partake much with the community beyond what was important to be socially accepted (like rites like baptism and so forth). Even as a kid Domen never had the fear of God in his heart, he always thought he was smarter than this and could dupe Him if He somehow existed. As he grew up he became closer to an Atheist, though he will still parade as a Christian if it can help him gain some favors.
Jesse was raised by non-religious parents and never adhered to a faith. He would describe himself as an atheist, though he'd like to believe in some kind of afterlife where things might be nicer.
