12 Sinbearer mother

Today's prompt is Kyton... And I should probably put a CW on this  one since there's a lot of talk about sexual violence when it comes to  most Kytons...

This is a Kyton Sinbearer Mother an Altar Girl, and an Altar Boy.....

Kytons  are among the religious devout who are deep within fringe catholic  groups that participate in disgusting and violent practices looked down  upon by many other religions and even sects of their own church. Groups  such as the Acolytes of the Crimson Child, The followers of Our Mother  of Self Flagellation, The bearers of the Cross, or The Progenitor's  chosen, as well as a group simply known as penance which makes up most  of these organizations. These religions hold many similarities with  Catholicism or Christianity and often pose as such religions or even  worship the same entities, but possess horrid and inhumane practices of  self harm and penance or violence against their foes. Those whom rise  through the ranks and practice enough self harm in the name of their god  are eventually blessed with otherworldly power and ability, and can  summon upon the divine to bring destruction to their foes and prosperity  to their people.

Sinbearer  mothers are nuns that follow the various religious practices of these  groups and devotedly practice self flagellation and other processes to  atone for their sins. Many bind themselves with chains, spiked, and  adorned with rosaries and holy symbols, and they take vows of silence,  and go through violent and bloody neck lengthening rituals in which  braces are placed on their neck to stretch it and prevent them from  being able to speak. While some nuns simply become Black Ladies, the  name for nuns accepted within the various practices, some will go on to  take roles such as bloodmothers, Ladies of immolation, sisters of  communion, or Sinbearer mothers. Sinbearer mothers are detestable and  vile creatures, as they are nuns within these far flung organizations  who are selected to be the single repository of sin for an entire  congregation. Rituals are cast upon her, and through her a connection is  made to god as she will fornicate with the head priest of the  congregation, and her nipples will be removed and replaced with zippers,  as well as a large zipper placed into her upper stomach through a  surgical process. Finally a mask is placed upon her face, adorned with a  key hole denoting that she will one day be free in the eyes of god once  she has suffered enough. Her hands are nailed and she bleeds from the  wounds for 3 days, showing signs of divine inspiration as her eyes bleed  in stigmata. Only at this point will she become the congregation's  sinbearer. At this point she is considered to be connected to god, so  deeply that other nuns, priests, and religious members whom have taken  vows of celibacy can fornicate with the Sinbearer without the fear of  losing one's divinity or breaking one's vow. The Sinbearer is there to  consume all of the sins of the congregation, and to please the members  of the church.

The wounds in her  hands will begin to change, and her pinky will break and work more like  a thumb while the wounds will become eyes that bleed, but that also  allow the Sinbearer to see events in the near future. These hands become  hands of Fatima, or Hamsa, and also protect the Sinbearer mother from  various powerful magics, and she can in turn grant this protection to  her followers. She can cast several divine spells, often times divine  lightning javelins, or pillars of flame and holy light are their go to  As time passes, her neck will lengthen, her shoulders sink down and her  body begins to take on otherworldly qualities from the ritual and the  sins being placed within her. She will become pregnant, and the children  will absorb the sin, and be expelled from her whenever she gives birth,  and a sinbearer mother can often carry a dozen or so children at once  within herself at once and give birth to them each independently of  eachother. When these children are born, they are born of sin and a few  are sacrificed to purify the rest. On occasion hideous creatures may be  born in this way, and the birth may be enough to kill the mother. In  some cases the children born have reverted to Nephilim, and other times  they evolve into something else. Many times these creatures are killed  immediately, but on occasion they are allowed to live and become beasts  in the employ of the church. Normal children born to the Sinbearer  mothers are often times raised by the congregation and they are trained  to be Altar Boys and Altar Girls in the various religious ceremonies.  There is usually only one, if any, sinbearer mother in a congregation,  unless the group is exceedingly large and requires more than one can  handle. Other nuns in the congregation are always in training to take  one's place should she die.

Also  here are Kyton Altar Girls (Left) and Altar Boys (Right), known  collectively as Kyton A. Altar Girls and Altar Boys have the same duties  as altar boys and girls such as fetching and carrying, ringing the  altar bell, helping to bring forward gifts, bringing up the book, and  other various things.They may present candles, crosses, rosaries,  communion wine, and other various things as determined by the leader of  the congregation. Due to being born in sin, many of the acolytes are  forced into various forms of penance as they get older. Binding their  flesh with barbed wire and chains, being whipped and bled, forced to be  shackled or chained, or have a limb tied away and unable to be used  indefinitely, having the mouth split open at the cheeks, removal of the  tongue sometimes, and violent removal of toenails and fingernails. They  are sometimes allowed to keep their nails to use as claws in the event  that force is needed. Many wear brambled crowns, have their eyes gouged  out, and others have a penance of being shackled and forced to carry  heavy crosses which can be used as a weapon by some.

These  children are able to muster various divine powers from their  connections to god, and due to their devotion, and they are very  resilient and take far less damage from subjects, and they can enhance  their bodies to fight on par with people much stronger than an average  human. The Acolytes can also move with a supernatural speed and grace  and leap to a location over 20 feet away. Some congregations have the  acolytes take on more normal appearances to lure people in and drag   them to the haeadquarters.

Some  Acolytes maintain their youth for extreme periods, and will remain  children, while others are the opposite and grow far too quickly. As  with all creatures that undergo these processes most members of this  congregation are or will be insane if they stick around for too  long.....
