So here's Bast! Despite being one of the original members of CC, I never actually got around to drawing my sona. The image is a bit crappy because I had to resize it to post, and I don't really get how that works (too tired to figure it out rn). Anything in the bio here is tentative because I'm not sure if it will match up with canon later.
Bast is the reincarnated form of a lesser goddess. After denouncing Illusapadere and her authority as well as the rest of the cult's pantheon, the High Priestess cursed Bast to be a cat for all eternity, shutting off almost all of her power and forcing it into the bell collar around her neck. The only remainder of her power resides in Wildfire, and a residual ability to see possibilities of the future.
Wildfire is her divine form, a massive sabre tooth tiger impervious to all magic. A divine form can't be activated unless it is a truly life or death situation, which for an immortal being, doesn't come along often.
Before Bast was cursed, she was a human, but as the curse can't be reversed, she's stuck in feline form forever. In her mortal form, she is one of the weakest if not the weakest member of the cult. She's only a kitten, after all.
Abilities:
Future Vision - Bast can see possibilities of the future, as immediate as the possible outcomes to a move in battle and as general as the outcome of a war. This ability is involuntary and can't be shut off. In other words, she can always see these possibilities, bad and good, forever.
Palmistry - Part of her future vision ability. As income for the cult's shop, Bast offers to read palms for tourists and customers. The readings are always accurate, and can be unnerving.
Multilingual - While she may have been reincarnated after having become so powerless as to be near death for a divine being, Bast has retained her knowledge, if somewhat outdated, of other languages. This is particularly useful when dealing with matters of ancient origin.
Wildfire
Not much is known about Wildfire other than the fact that she exists. The last remnants of Bast's power in an omnipotent divine form, so safe to say, she's formidable. I would rank Wildfire to be very very near the top of the cult in terms of power, if not the most powerful because of the fact that she is a god. What is known about Wildfire is here:
Abilities:
Impervious to Magic: the effects of any magic, save for the highest forms of divine magic, can't touch her. She's a divine being, and any effects felt only on the mortal plane will not harm her.
Fire: Wildfire is, as her name suggests, cloaked in a raging inferno that blackens anything it touches. Only high-level defensive spells can repel or negate the flames, but they can't be extinguished.
Sabres: She has massive teeth. Do you really want to get near that? No. Bitey bite. Stabby stab.
