* In ''Webcomic/Aurora2019'', emissaries are mortals born with a connection to a particular god. Neither the god nor the mortal chooses to initiate this relationship and only the death of the mortal can end it. How being an emissary affects a person's life depends heavily on what type of god they're connected to. The only emissaries introduced in the comic so far have been emissaries of [[EthnicGod city gods]], who have a special intuition for some aspect of civic management and assist and advise their god in that area.

%%* In ''LightNovel/TheUnexploredSummonBloodSign'', there are two ways to meet the White Queen. One involves fighting a specific, insanely complex series of battles to spell out her name in the eldritch language of Materials. The other involves hanging around Kyousuke Shiroyama until weird shit starts happening [[WeirdnessMagnet (which never takes long)]]. Of course, since the White is a complete ''bitch'', cultists who try the latter often get more trouble than they bargained for.

Whatever the reason, [[RefusalOfTheCall the emissary will rarely be grateful for the honor]]. Fits of [[RageAgainstTheHeavens existential frustration]] and insecurity are common- after all, what need does a god have for a human? Emissaries may also fear that they've gone insane, or be subject to assassination attempts by jealous dogmatists. Sometimes the god is [[ReasoningWithGod temperamental]], or drags them far from home. Frequently, such stories are focused on the emissary's cross-purpose yet friendly relationship with the divine.
