What would you propose as the cosmic backstory? Is religion "real" in the sense that reincarnation actually does occur, more or less for the reasons that the persecuted religious people believe? Could the CP stand in actually take over the process, or are they fooling themselves, or do they not believe any of it at all, and this is just a cynical propaganda ploy (almost certainly what is happening in RL)?
Part of the campaign might include the player characters not knowing this information, at least at first, but the campaign designers need to decide, since pretty much the entire plot depends on this.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.I think that it could be better if they suceeded at some extent, they actually have power over souls. Is the exact opossite of the Cosmic Horror Story

Going from the religion thread, I was thinking about an RPG game plot that would involve a stand in for the Communist China government trying to control the reincarnation of a spiritual leader similar to the Dali Lama in that world. I see it basically as Avatar The Last Airbender meets Final Fantasy 10 but the religion is persecuted in this case.
