Almost every aspect of them screams of cult-like behavior. For instance, ever notice the large amount of self sacrificing effects? Of course you did, thats one of twilights outstanding features. Most of their combos are based around it.
But...look again. Exactly who is it that are sacrificing themselves? In this cult, the lesser members (lower cost) ate brainwashed into sacrificing themselves "for the better of the tribe as a whole" meanwhile the senior members benefit and grow from the sacrifices of others.
Lets talk about lifebringer. Poor girl has been convinced to use her powers one everybody else, brainwashed into giving everyone the benefit, while her herself recieving none of it.
The twilight opportunist. The girl rides on an eagle. As such, a can only assume her death is the result of the cult convincing her to dive bomb the enemies. She waits in the sky, flying around until she is needed. At which point, her and her eagle target the enemy, and fall from the heavans at great speed, slamming into the target to deal some damage, and killing herself in the process.
Some members take the faith to huge extremes. Demetryo, the twilight extremist. Let me ask you, whenever you hear the word extremist, how often is it in refference to people taking their faith in religion to exteme measures? Demetryo is another suicide runner. He comes out ready to attack, and does so with complete reckless abandon. Throwing his all into a devastating attack, without thought to getting hurt. He dies shortly after, all of his energy expended on this single attack
But the twilights do have a strange power. The ritualist has access to said power. At the cost of her own life, she can make a large number of things dissapear. They arent destroyed, but rather their entire existance is gone.
But now, lets talk about the expansion. The cult just keeps growing...after so much time has passed, the twilights have become very strong, and very influential. So of course the next step is expansion.
This brings us to the twilight shepardess...she goes around trying to convince others to join the cult. Brainwashing individuals to convert. And yet, it is all a ruse! For indeed, after the individual has converted to a twilught, they are killed! Sacrificed for the benefit of the other members.
But where did it all start? It is my belief that the twilight have always been there. During shattered fates, the twilights were small...an underground cult not seen by the public. But slowly as they gained members, as their numbers grew, the tine to make their entrance grew nearer. In dark prophecies, they allowed their herald to roam. A herald is a messenger...however, a herald is also a sign. A sign that something is about to happen. And it did...shattered fates comes around, and the twilights have grown strong. The cult has grown exponentially underground, and now the members make themselves known. And they're only getting stronger. More and more falling to their lies, being decieved. the twilights are taking over. The humans have been fighting the shadow all these years...little did they know that one of the biggest threats theyll ever know, was within their ranks the entire time....
