The wretched few, the crooked conspirators, the bloody and battered sons of the Apocalypse - sent to rise among the ashes of the former world and fulfill the prophecy exactly as it was written. 12 human sacrifices to be made in honor of the one true God of the wasteland, Papa. The Cult of Papa exists to tell the tale of madmen serving the apocalyptic teachings of a self-proclaimed priest, Bog Petrov. The Cult of Papa is heavily focused on narrative with most of their actions in-game serving the purpose of telling a story while including as much communal involvement as possible.
One of the longest existing groups on DUG, the Cult of Papa are a self described hardcore roleplay group in that they impose a unique ruleset on themselves that the rest of DayZ Underground's community members are not expected to follow. They have a strict policy regarding the building of their group’s lore. Because of the nature of the faction, their leadership imposes a very strict and purposeful set of rules governing the way they play their characters:
- Any member representing a “living” Cult of Papa character may not interact OOC on any platform for any reason.
- Cult members keep their OOC identities a secret at all times.
- The Cult imposes a strict perma-death rule on its members. Death from a role-play situation in which the characters are engaged in meaningful interaction mandates a permanent death for a Cult of Papa member. KOS, game bugs, disease, or inexplicable deaths are not recognized as perma-death worthy.
These rules revolve around the Cult of Papa’s values of interaction and story-telling, with real consequences. Their focus is to add a realistic element of horror to DayZ Underground by touching on relevant themes. They strive to tell tales of torture, hatred, love, death, and destruction that include as much of the wide array of personalities available in the DayZ Underground community as possible. They encourage all members of the community to get involved and to help shape the story, to make it big and exciting. They want to have fun with you. If a member of the Cult approaches you in-game, it is an invitation to tell a story.
Now we pray:
Great and Terrible Papa, hear my prayer.
Bless our pain and the monstrosity we carry.
We are your Princes of darkness.
We rule on NOTHING.
HAIL PAPA - THE LORD OF SUFFERING.
