[b]PROPOSAL BY: Eldertrolls Resident[/b]

[b]GROUP NAME:[/b] La Croix

FORUM ID:Eldertrolls Resident

MEMBERS: Eldertrolls Resident, anisa Dirval, Briony Privette, Lavynia Fallen

BACKSTORY: Papa Legba brought Hoodoo/Voodoo to Hathian back in the early part of the 21st Century, coming from the depths of the swamps outside of New Orleans he practiced freely and mainly alone, but shortly over time newcomers and those interested in his work started to show interest in his Hoodoo/Vooodoo teachings, spreading the number of followers in Hathian. Papa Legba gave his followers the name of, La Croix. Mainly to through off the Western Religion followers who would accuse him of Devil worship. La Croix doesn't necessarily trade with anyone, funding comes from the members themselves and their jobs outside of the Cult, but Papa Legba takes donations to fund gathering supplies and traveling to and from New Orleans to meet with Voodoo Queens and Priests. Papa Legba gives rebirth names to each of his followers. Papa Legba likes to keep traditions alive, and any names given would be French-Creole in origin. Ranks in La Croix, are dependent on knowledge of Voodoo/Hoodoo, and of course how pleased and liked you are by Papa Legba. Tags for La Croix, would be "CD Gris-Gris" Colors of La Croix: Purple Apparel: Old school Southern Clothing (1800-mid 1900s), or modern clothing, with Hoodoo/voodoo charms, rings, necklaces.

UNIQUE: It fits because Hoodoo/Voodoo in modern day Louisiana is deeply rooted and part of Cajun-Creole life. Even in modern cities, not just in the bayou. It is unique because it would be the first Hoodoo/Voodoo Cult in Hathian, considering it would also fit the region of the United States that Hathian is in.

EXP:Have been apart of CD since 2009, I have done a lot of research for the Group I am proposing and I plan on leading it and making sure the members get a rewarding Roleplaying experience out of it. Along with bringing a cultural aspect that is native to Louisiana, to Hathian.

FLAWS:Deep beliefs in Folk Magic and Deities cause heavily reliance on said things to actually protect or guide them, causing them to put themselves in situations where something could go horribly wrong. Believing that they will be saved or protected.

WORK WITH OTHERS:CD Rader Records; La Croix, may ask to play, Recordings or spells over radio in a attempt to 'hoodoo' Hathian en mass. Butcher Shop; Raw meats, animal parts needed in Hoodoo/Voodoo Rituals and potions.

IDEAS:Cultural Events, that would make Hathian feel more like authentic Louisiana. Voodoo Rituals, Hoodoo classes teaching about Louisiana Hoodoo/Voodoo in America.

OTHER DETAILS:La Croix, would be the only religious type group in CD at the moment. Also it would add a 'religious fanatic' faction, instead of just another criminal one.
