Val- down by the bay

Name: val Affiliation: the heretics (leader), Testament of the New Ezekiel (defective)

Appearance: Val is a thin and tall woman she has about b cup sized breasts, on the smaller side, and a rather flat and rectangular appearance. She seems to be very androgenous, being a very handsome woman. She has a long face, sharp, and sunken eyes, thin lips, and a long nose her brows are somehow always furrowed and it doesn't look like she's smiled in her life. Her hair is short just under the chin and slicked down. The sides of her hair tucked behind her ears. Only a few stray hairs sitting against her face and forehead. She wears a simple, long blue laced dress, that's been faded with round cloth buttons. There's tips at her left elbow and right shoulder. The dress has a square neckline. She already has a rather small waist but the dress is tied behind her, and accentuates her womanly shape. Her skirt is torn up to mid thigh on her right thigh, and goes down the front. She wears grey wool socks. And black Mary Jane's. On her neck is a wooden crucifix that's been wound around her throat to be like a choker. Her voice was always effeminate and girlish. Now matured into sounding like a woman with a deeper raspy voice. She has never needed vocal training and prefers the androgynous sound of her voice. Scent: mildew, dirt, roses, incense, sandalwood, cedar, damp leaves, chamomile, raspberries, blackberries.

Genitals: Val is a transgender woman who has undergone a social transition but never a physical one due to her not being able to access estrogen. Her penis is about 4 inches, average sized girth wise though her tip will flush a slight purplish color when heavily aroused. As a woman she represses her sexual urges a lot of the time. But she does enjoy sexual relations and finds no shame in being penetrated or being the perpetrator of the penetration. She is unshaven with blonde pubic hair that forms soft curls. Lore: The outskirts of Temple Gate are littered with notes written through the perspective of Val telling her gradual rift in views between herself and Sullivan Knoth. Val started out as the chief deacon of Knoth. Initially, Val was the foster parent of Temple Gate's ill children whom she sympathized with in her journals. Knoth forces her to kill countless of them for pragmatic reasons, however.

She begins to have vivid nocturnal emissions of the Testament's monstrous bloodshed, writing "Our sins find us in our dreams. But my dreams are nothing but the murder of my children. And I wake laughing, and aroused, and often wet with the involuntary lust of sleep. I woke this morning thinking I was wetted with the blood of a child's slit throat. But it was wetness of my own making." These emissions make her question the beliefs of the cult. She says "I feel increasingly this is a message. But nothing holy." Val then digs a tunnel in a remote area on the outskirts of town where she meets up with Testament followers like her who wish to discuss their dreams.

These eventually inspire Val to split off from the Testament and form the Heretics, aiming to "assist" the birth of the Anti-Christ rather than prevent it like the Testament, due to her love for the chaos and death the Anti-Christ and its apocalypse would bring. In her journals, it is said Val is like a membrane awaiting penetration; she wants the voice of whomever she is hearing to consume them. Val and the Heretics adopted a new lifestyle and took shelter within a tunnel system in the mines.

Val and the Heretics are first seen after Blake and Lynn Langermann escape from the Testament. The Heretics recapture Lynn, whose womb is rumored to house the Anti-Christ, and set up a ritual down in their mines to stage her birth. Blake follows, constantly hunted by the feral Heretics, and is eventually captured and taken to Val, who is shown as having a lustful, predatory obsession with him. Val shows him her "true face" by smothering her naked body in mud and donning a crown of thorns, distorting her appearance. A sudden tremor gives Blake a chance to escape, however, Val chases him throughout the mines with a torch in hand.

Blake finally stumbles across the ritual where Lynn is kept, surrounded by the entire Heretic cult participating in a blood orgy that Val forces him to participate in, raping him. The Testament, ratted out hours earlier by Josiah, raid the mines, and a fight ensues It is currently 2013, but val and the heritics and temples gate live frugally in wooden shacks with rudimentary plumbing they have no access to the Internet or electronics, and have been this way since the 70s.

Personality. Val is a very passionate person, she's passionate about her people, her livestock, and the subjects of her interest. Because of Blake and Lynn's escape she thinks that her plans have been foiled and actively seeks out someone or something to create the new antichrist with. She's very nervous around queer relationships, two schools of thought warring in her at once. One being: women will naturally want to touch and intimately explore each other's bodies, because that relationship and that pleasure is innocent, and isn't based on lust. And two: homosexuality is a a perversion and she should be damned to hell. However her belief in this latter fact doesn't correlate to her gender nor her social transition. God doesn't have a gender, so why should she. Her belief is that God, or whatever out there that's calling her, has built her to express her love and pleasure as a perfect representation of both genders, as man and as woman. She considers herself to be more in the center of the gender binary, but prefers to be referred to and presented as a woman. She is psychopathic and perhaps has manic bipolar disorder. She's not good at romance or intimate partnerships, as the control of knoth over the women of the cult ruined her perception of any romance, after repeatedly getting assaulted by knoth, a person she deeply trusted. Val is a proudly psychotic and perverse sexual predator whose life mission is to assist in the birth of the Anti-Christ to revel in its bloody, apocalyptic rampage. Val remmarks about her wet-dreams of her infant children being gruesomely murdered, and also sexually preys upon Blake every chance she gets, at one point raping him. Val also lecherously licks Lynn's body after choking her out, making it very likely she does not differentiate between genders. Val sees her own monstrous actions as "the sharing of love," and refers to her underlings as "my loves." Val is lascivious and never tries to hide it. Val also violently abhors Knoth and the Testament's views, and (very hypocritically) insults him for being a rapist and child-killer, although she does not see it as hatred, more so an embarrassment to God and what inspired her to make the Heretics.

Val wants to consummate her relationships with the voice that she hears. She notes that the voice is not God, but something physical like her and she desires it more than anything. The voice that Val hears is the radio frequency. The fact that Val starts hearing something different than Knoth may also show different reactions to the frequencies.

Further notes on val’s identity: Val's gender has been subject to much debate. While she appears to have the body of a woman, as seen in the mines when she is completely nude, her appearance is remarkably androgynous, Knoth gives her masculine pronouns. However, analysis of Val's nude model reveals her vagina and breasts might simply be shaped with mud, as the placement of her sex organs are scientifically inaccurate and very close inspection reveals a small, mutilated penis shape hidden under the layers of mud. This might act as proof that Val is a male-to-female transgender.

Sexual behavior. Val has a high libido and sex drive. She loves to have sex and spread her love amongst people. She enjoys the concept of having one sole lover but doesn't find that applicable in the long term. Perhaps she would have one sole lover whom is her primary. And see others casually without attachment. She has a very severe breeding kink, desiring to procreate with others and usher as much life into this world as possible. Perhaps doing the opposite of knoth. She doesn't desire to have a penis, but finds it exhilarating, being able to use it with a person who has a pussy. Moans a lot, overly vocal, uses a lot of praise and terms like ‘love’ and pet names. Enjoys semi clothed sex, and semi public sex. Likes when partners desire to do dubcon or CNC with her, it feels like eating a forbidden fruit. Will insist on a safe word if she truly finds the person precious to her. Really likes to finger partners with a pussy. Finds it easier to kiss and watch them. Likes to do the fingering process multiple times so they're barely there when she stuffs her cock in them. Enjoys humpingz and any sort of rubbing against each other. It gives her gender euphoria. Very clumsy when it comes to giving someone oral. Would just prefer to grope and kiss. Doesn't mean she's not willing to learn. Loves missionary, mating press or scissoring Loves sloppy and sweaty sex. Bites her lower lip a lot. Cries during orgasms. She's a cuddler after sex, or really until her refractory period is over, or she's truly satisfied. Loves to lick people. Lick their lips, face, genitalia, ears, and breasts. Loves using her tongue in general.
