Saints

The saints of Siderea were a series of mortals selected by the gods to serve as their proxies in the fight against Rigel.

=Background=


 * effort

=Abilities=
 * They each have the Blessing of their respective god.
 * Each saint wields one of the Celestial Regalia, created from anima mundi.
 * The gods gave them special attention and privileges - such as permission to wander the Cosmos and the moon - and upon their deaths they were permitted to choose their own afterlife. Any who decided not to be scattered or reincarnated were more or less elevated to the level of the Archangels.
 * and that's honestly pretty much it lmao since they were all mortals unlike the deceased archangels and facets they didn't really want to pump them full of power or anything
 * of course later on as they became more well-known, the people's belief in them wound up making them something akin to demigods, able to answer prayers n shit, normal stuff.

=Public Perception=
 * people really liked these fellas and in fact still do to this day! they got holidays and everything

=List of Saints= Note that Arianrhod was not among the original saints and only became considered one much further on in Siderea's history so as to include Arachne and the Araneans in Siderean culture. This is not without controversy, but that's a story for another article.

=Trivia=
 * The saints are all based on the mythological figures that their respective constellations are based on, or at least characters involved in said figure's story. There are a few exceptions:
 * As Castor and Pollux are covered by Gemini anatomy, Mulapin instead takes a completely unrelated swerve. Inspired by it containing "lapin" - French for rabbit - Mulapin is instead based on the MUL.APIN.
 * Cendrillon is based off of Cinderella, who kept coming up as a figure associated with Libra in zodiac books I peeked into. Since Astraea was the first saint defined and I always wanted an OC named Cendrillon because it's a cool name I just kinda decided hey, why not??
