Aquilla

Her Holiness, Vicar of God, Lady Apostle, Servant of the Heavens, Aquilla, or more colloquially, Her Holiness Aquilla, and most simply Aquilla is the religious leader of the theocratic Bastion society. Suffering from a strange disease throughout most of her childhood and adolescence, Aquilla was left bedridden for most of her life while the voice of God filled her ears. After an extremely miraculous recovery in her late teenage years, she regained full consciousness with the power to channel holy power. She quickly cited divine intervention, and used her experiences to proselytize in her hometown. Gathering a large congregation, she was swiftly declared a living saint, and many began to flock to her for guidance. Due to her extreme popularity, the mayor of her hometown banished her, fearing her popular support. With her faith holding strong, Aquilla and her followers embarked on the Great Pilgrimage, settling a new town called Bastion. Organizing a centralized structure for the religion, Bastion is ruled by the rule of God, as told by Aquilla. Aquilla is well-loved by her constituents, both temporal and spiritual.
