Development Log: The Vortex #19 - Solidity

Yellow Devotees belong to the sect called Solidity.  They put their firepower behind threats and torture, represented in the stats as the Fire icon.  Think of them like both fire-and-brimstone preachers and torturers during Inquisitions.

The Infinite converts through reason and evidence, so they make True Converts, meaning people who know in their heart and their head that they are right.  Solidity creates Fear Converts, meaning people who convert because they are scared into it, whether they are scared of mortal or immortal tortures.

I think Abductors and Heaviest placeholders portray exactly what I want.  Abductors are literally supposed to be the classic aliens that abduct Earthlings.  Learning to Walk definitely doesn't show what I want, but then again I've completely forgotten what my intent was for that one.

Cavernous is meant to mean something more like "heartless", so I imagine a being that is something like Heaviest, but it has a gaping hole where its heart should be, making its body "cavernous".

You can see from this selection that the game is taking a darker turn.  While the Infinite might generally have unemotional cards (which is exactly what they're supposed to have), Solidity has a much creepier vibe, which will only get more pronounced as I show you more cards in the next log.
