Editing LeviathanTempest:ArchivedCharacters (section)

=== The "Devotion" model ===

* [[LeviathanTempest:TehomDevotion| Tehom]] (Devotees of the Deep), "Those of the Abyss", Mystic Outlook
** Model 1: Seek the Primordial secrets of mastery of this world. 
** Model 2: Intrigued by the Deep and the Primeval Ocean as a cut-off location
** Llenlleawch: "We don't fit in this world. Nothing's our size, nothing's strong enough, nothing can give us the truth. If you want to figure things out, you've got to shut your eyes and listen to the small traces of wisdom that still linger, out where no-one's trod them over yet."

* [[LeviathanTempest:AbzuDevotion| Abzu]] (Devotees of the Celestial), "Those of the Sun", Religious outlook
** Model 1: Believe that the Primeval realm can be restored from the Tempest back to it's original state as the Celestial Ocean of this world. 
** Model 2: Intrigued by the way things were when the Primeval Ocean wasn't cut off from the world
** Llenlleawch: "Maybe there are some people who can live without faith. Good for them. But we've always been the representatives of physical gods, incontrovertible proof that there is something greater out there. If you find yourself in doubt, look to your kin. Their faith will lift you up."

* [[LeviathanTempest:EnkiDevotion| Enki]] (Devotees of Humanity), "Those of the Clay", Scientific Outlook
** Model 1: Believe Enki was a pure Primordial descendant able to take humanoid form and think in ways we would understand, who created humanity from Primordial genetic material. 
** Model 2: intrigued by the role of Leviathans in the history of humanity
** Llenlleawch: "We've always looked down on humans. It's easy, when you see them looking at you with those big moony eyes. But they've built this world, while anything our people did is long buried in silt and rotting algae. If I was you, I'd shut up and listen to them more often."

* [[LeviathanTempest:KinguDevotion| Kingu]] (Devotees of the Primordials), "Those of the Rock", Militant Outlook
** Model 1: Believe that the Leviathan are the surviving soldiers created for the war with the Annunaki. 
** Model 2: intrigued by the Tempest War and the enemies of the Tribe
** Llenlleawch: "If you believe we know better because we're bigger and tougher than mortals, then you've got to figure the Primordials knew best of all. Now those were big, f*ck-off critters, and so clever no human can wrap their heads around them. Don't tell me they didn't see this world coming, and don't tell me they left no clues for us."

* [[LeviathanTempest:EnumaElish| Enuma Elish]] (Devotees of the Creator), "Those of the Ice", Social Outlook
** Model 1: Are more interested in finding more about their origins and about the Prime Matrix/Tiamat than any other agenda.
** Model 2: intrigued by the Progenitors and the mythical Prime Matrix from which all primordials supposedly descend
** Llenlleawch: "There are things more clever and stronger things than us out there, but there's nobody who can take care of business like we can. In a week, I can gather ten people like you, as hard and as dedicated. Now tell me: who can stand against that?"

'''Notes:''' Devotions have been discussed as functioning like schools of thought - each Leviathan undergoes a personal relationship with their primordial history; the Devotion is determined by where they go looking for access to the past. They're named primarily for Babylonian gods and concepts, but Tehom is Hebrew; is Abzu meant to be Tiamat's first consort?
