REDVOX "VINNY" ABRAMO - cis male - goat-bat hybrid - harbinger

A God of death. The concept probably would've been quite foreign to Vinny, since they didn't really have an equivalent in their pantheon. The closest probably would've been Lola, the under goddess of sorrow and despair, and she had the tendency to appear to those that had been through a lot of suffering, and death could be included as part of that sorrow. The tanuki goddess had a tendency to enact revenge on those that brought sorrow and despair to others, so she probably wouldn't have approved of Aslisk's method, but it would've depended on who Aslisk was killing. If Aslisk had killed those that had brought despair to others, then she probably would've gained Lola's approval shockingly fast. Still, aside from her? The Halls didn't truly have a god that oversaw death, since it was believed that those who died remained within the territory of the Halls, still living there in their own little mirror of the Halls's society, just... as spirits. It was an odd way to loom at things, but Vox honestly liked the mental image of his passed away clanmates just... continuing to live with each other, and having eternal company. Aslisk might not have particularly liked that, however, since it wasn't really true death of the kind she might've been used to.

When Aslisk initially approached, Vinny flinched, practically able to feel the pain that was radiating off of the wyvern from her many severe burns that she had gained quite recently. Thankfully, he wasn't too worried about this pissing Aslisk off too much, since Aslisk had seemed genuinely curious when she had come upon Vox praying to Bertille within the Pitt. Still, part of him wanted to tell her to go and lay down, and not worry herself with this, since it was obvious she was in pain. That probably just would've pissed her off and made her think that he thought she was weak, so he just bit his tongue, taking a deep breath in before giving her a smile, shifting his wings in front of him. Unsurprisingly, Aslisk had a curious question as soon as she trotted over to the event, but what did surprise Vox was what the question was, exactly. He had known that Aslisk was more comfortable with another language, but he hadn't realized that she didn't know what the word pantheon meant. Shifting a bit, Redvox gave a nod of his head before mumbling softly, gesturing with a wing behind him at the shrines that sat in a row behind the harbinger, "Pan-the-on. It's the group of gods that makes up the religion of the Halls. So the ten gods represented behind me are our pantheon. There's two main gods, with four under gods beneath them, and they all together make up who we worship. Understand?" He hoped that was a sufficient enough answer for the wyvern, since if not... he wasn't really sure how to expand upon his explanation.
