What is the difference between cult and religion?


That is a question that is vauge and difficult to respond to but in this world where the 1% live in ivory towers while implants in the poor make them live meaningless exsistances just for the sake of living. The endless torture of living without meaning, without purpose, without a reason to even take a breath. This is the world that needs a true leader one that will bring light into the these neon streets. For he is The Prophet When he came we were freed from the implants that bound us to endless servitude and saw him as our messiah. For he has given us a reason to live and we shall fight for him, we shall die for him, and we shall kill for him. Long live The prophet!!!

The types of paths that are open to us:

The path of purity: We believe that the human body was made to be perfect from the begining we believe augementations are the tools of the weak. We strengthen our body not replace it.
  • Idol: A bleeding heart, when we fight our blood carries us forward!
  • Of Godly make: Our prophet has given us the gift from our lord himself. A jar of blood from the last original human. The last human that was born without augemenations or the implants. It is truly pure.
  • Advantage: We strengthen our bodies to the fullest and as a result we can contend with even those that have cybernetic implants to make them strong.
  • Disadvantage: We believe that augmentations are a sign of weakness and as a result anyone who has augementations are targeted by the fantatics and priests, they can be attacked simply for having the implants


The path of neoshamanism: The path of the neo shaman is one that believes that the holy numbers of 1s and 0s is the language of god himself. We study the numbers and as a result we believe that implants and augementaions are tools to help us commune with god himself.
  • Idol: A series of 1s and 0s that in binary translate: We are the chosen of god, we have seen the beauty of his work!
  • Of godly make: The Prophet was able to get a hold of an old manual, the first instruction booklet on how to read binary in paper. This is considered holy teachings and is to be protected at all costs!
  • Advantage: hackers and those cybernetically enhanced with certain augmentations are considered the readers of gods words. Hacking and downloading are much faster and easier.
  • Disadvantage: because the followers of this path revere numbers and reading them they are much weaker to the physical attacks by heritcs


The path of Cyberoccultism: We believe in the ideal of the singularity. We much enhance ourselves with the great works of god (augmentations) and reach the ideal perfection of full synthetic beings.
  • Idol: An image of a void behind a human with one half normal and the other half fully cybernetic. For we search for perfection in augementations
  • Of godly make: A (stolen) blueprint of the first augementation desgin. It was an image made through the lords work and can not be touched by anyone but the prophet. It details the first ideal of the cybernetic man
  • Advantage: All followers follow augmentaions and as such are stronger, faster, and smarter then the average robot or riot police that try to stop them
  • Disavantage: If a strong enough hacker is on the otherside they can hack into the lower ranked fanatics. And some followers that have to much augementaion can become feral and attack any in their path


So what do you guys think the cult should be?

@Shadow Dragon

Think like Deus Ex, they are there but not seen unless used. Though there are extremes for example someone could have their arm removed completely and instead have a fully cybernetic arm. Then there are those that want augementations beyond human anatomy but if you get these and the cult is against augementations you wont be seen as a commander and may even be a target of our fantatics

@Master Crim

Right now he would be 25 in college he was a business major as expected of him from his implant. However he mysteriously left one day to see the rest of the world. When he came back he found a way to disable the implants and you know the rest. His young life is one where he was purposely groomed to be a business exec

What do you think of having an incoming interrogator? I wanna push myself just a little, and playing someone who is doing bad things for good reasons I think is something I want to do. So she'd be the leader of the Preists, responsible for vetting and interrogating all newcomers, making sure that they do not have hidden implants and are not controlled by outside forces. She'd occassionally have to hurt people to protect the cult/organization and she would hate what she does but feel that her hate for it makes her the best to do it.

That's certainly interesting she can lead the priests and interrogate newcomers if she feels it's necessary. Just add blind devotion to the faith and your all set lol

Right, she'd hate having to hurt people but feel it's necessary to erradicate the unfaithful who would do them harm. She might even be slightly in love with the Prophet, or at least think that she is, making her devotion to the organization that much deeper.

Other than believing that Elliot is the Prophet, what type of religion is it? Would it be leaning towards Christianity, Paganism, Hinduism? Or is it something that you will give us as we go? If I'm writing sermons that she is listening in on I want to try to keep it consistent.

Maybe but are you sure you want to live in a cyberpunk universe without augmentations? Anyone in the cult with them would be targeted

The Neoshamanism path could be molded in a way to work with the "Sacred Text" playing out the story of the Corps taking over and taking away individual freedoms, and a chosen uprising giving back that freedom and overthrowing the Corps.

The reason I say that is because if we're fighting a government that is forcibly implanting people, it makes more sense to bring a religion that is against augmentation rather than for it. People in the cult wanting more augments bring the risk that people would wind up being controlled again. If we're wanting to go full on cybernetic human mutants, then cool, but at that point would we not BE the government's right hand religion? Seeing as how that's what they want and all...

The way I see it, is not that the Corp/Government wants everyone Cybernetic, but just under control. This is achieved through the behavior mods that I assume give the feel of natural thought towards what they want you to do as well as being able to monitor your thoughts and actions. Without this mod we are free no matter how many implants and prosthetic you have. I don't think that all Cybernetics are Open Network Connected.
