History Characters / CultOfTheLambCultOfTheOneWhoWaits

* TheLoad: Followers that have aged into elders become this, as they are incapable of doing any work including prayer, instead wandering around the cult site with canes until they die, or are sacrificed or ascended by the Lamb. They ''can'' participate in rituals and sermons, however, making them not completely useless. There are also two Doctrines that give the player specific benefits that pertain to elderly followers.

* MindlessSheep: Inverted for irony. One of the Lamb's objectives is to indoctrinate his cult into mindless followers. There is also an arc going here from the Lamb journeying from a helpless follower into the one pulling the strings.

* {{Baphomet}}: One of the lambs primary inspirations, given his pagan HollywoodSatanism.

* GoKartingWIthBowser: [[spoiler:In official artwork for the ''Sins of the Flesh'' update, Narinder is happily participating in the cult's NudeNatureDance alongside the Lamb.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: The Lamb, who has ResurrectiveImmortality thanks to the power of the Red Crown, can marry their Followers, who live no longer than 60 ''days'' on average. [[spoiler:Marrying the One Who Waits averts this, as he is immortal and won't die of aging, as is those with the golden necklace. The lamb can also ressurrect followers who died of old age, restoring them back to youth if they have the doctrine.]]

* InterspeciesRomance: They're a variety of different species of animals (And some non-animals like poop, a star and unique monsters called "Witnesses") that can marry the Lamb. The followers can also become romantically interested in each other and ask the Lamb to help them woo another follower.

* TheSleepless: While beds can be crafted for their followers, the Lamb never sleeps throughout the game.

** The game will track followers who are siblings you recruit from follower quests or parents of a hatched follower from the Mating Tent and will prevent you from pairing them off to mate. Despite the CrapsackWorld setting and the Followers' usual idiosyncrasies and flexible/lacking morals, incest is still off the table even if it's at The Lambs' suggestion.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Unless given the trait for it via the "Death is Not The End" Doctrine, they'll be understandably horrified by the Lamb sacrificing one of their own and lose Faith. They are also against murder, making it difficult for the player to perform this action unless they're out of the area or asleep.

** ''Sins of the Flesh'' added the aptly named "[[ShapedLikeItself Jerk]]" trait to the pool of possible follower perks. Jerks will be incredibly dismissive of the lamb, nearly impossible to increase their loyalty, will ruthlessly mock them if they die on a crusade, and potentially even mug them for coins. [[BullyingADragon They seem to exist purely to give you an]] AssholeVictim you can feel completely content with subjecting to the more reprehensible and lethal rituals and requests.
