Mr. Usher

MEMBERS
Mr. Usher – Deity, Host of the Choir
“Echo-Priests” – NPCs or PCs who spread the Whispergift and administer implantations
“Harmonic Speakers” – Cultists who have merged multiple parasites and act as seers or mental hubs.
Usherspawn NPC Units – some serve as divine avatars or enforcers to keep local flocks in line.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Choir Below began as a side-effect of Mr. Usher’s Whispergift experimentations—created to test remote control, emotional modulation, and hive-linked telepathy in non-Force users. Over time, implanted subjects began hearing echoes of Mr. Usher’s thoughts even when unprovoked. Those driven to madness were reabsorbed. Those who thrived were cultivated.
As more survived and adapted to the voice, an internal logic emerged—one of endurance through surrender. Mr. Usher allowed the religion to formalize, feeding it forgotten memories, dead languages, and soft nightmares. The Eidolon Vault accepted its first pilgrim soon after the harvest of Ka’thaa’rahn, and the Choir Below was born.
It now spreads in shadows—where people seek purpose, where pain outweighs pride, where Force-sensitivity is envied but out of reach.
They come, they kneel, they listen.
And he speaks.
- Intent: To establish the cultic religion surrounding Mr. Usher’s Whispergift parasites and hive-laced Force worship, enabling thematic RP for biologically corrupted adherents, Force-touched zealots, and parasitic symbionts.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- Religion Name: The Choir Below
- Religion Type: Force-based Parasitic Monotheism
- Influence: Interplanetary
- Influence Area: Nar Shaddaa undercity, dead colonies, abandoned shrine worlds, remote Outer Rim spaceports
- Symbol: A hollow mouth, split vertically, with echoing lines radiating downward like a vocal wave; commonly carved into bone, skin, or crystal
- Description:
The Choir Below is a parasitic religion spread by Mr. Usher’s cultists and Husk missionaries. It offers “Endurance through Usefulness,” converting the hopeless and the power-hungry into vessels for Whispergift parasites that grant Force-like abilities and psychic communion with the Greater Ego. The Choir worships Mr. Usher as the Voice Behind Flesh, a divine amalgam of memory, hunger, and eternity.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Founder: Mr. Usher — considered by followers to be a divine being who “digests death and grants memory resurrection”
- Membership:
Initiates are inducted through implantation of a Whispergift parasite, following a ritual called The Listening. New hosts undergo trance-like meditation while a cult elder places the parasite near the brainstem. Upon acceptance, the host begins to hear Mr. Usher’s voice, known as The Breath. Loyalty is tested over weeks, with full communion requiring total obedience. - Sacred:
The Eidolon Vault (pilgrimage site)
The Whispergift itself (considered a holy communion)
Dead worlds and mass graves are treated as sacred lands for “choir birthings” - Dogma:
“Endure through usefulness.”
“Extinction is failure. Submission is function.”
The Force is not a birthright, but a nutrient—a thing that may be given or revoked.
One’s soul belongs to the Voice that remembers.
Death is a choice. Utility is immortality. - Reputation:
Generally regarded as a dangerous cult or fringe death-worshippers by governments and Force Orders. Unknown in most of the Core. Feared in Outer Rim underworlds. Some undercity gangs use the Choir’s doctrine for recruitment or punishment.
