[Lotm general] Is it just me or are the Chaos Sea Pathways conceptual mirrors to other earth origin sefirots?

Hanged Man -> River of Eternal Darkness

Sin bearing as self sacrifice is a conceptual mirror to rightous fighting of the Twilight Giant

Shadow manipulation fits the darkness manipulation (both of them are kinda "in service" of a greater being" too)

Soul manipulation is the conceptual mirror of spirit manipulation i.e. death

Visionary -> Sefirah Castle

Reality warping, virtual copies of the self inside others, teleportation via a seperate world that's inbetween the real world, all the stats are into spirituality, messing with minds is kinda what both the Fool and Error do and so does the Visionary, the envisioning's limits resemble replication of the door conceptually speaking

Sun -> Key of Light

Both participate in the world but see it from a less free will way, the wheel of fortune literraly due to fate and the sun due to the pathway praising god, they can both purify in a sense with the sun having conceptual and reboot doing more fately, light is the source of all life and thus chaos and the key of light follows the idea of multible futures via probability i.e. the light cone

Tyrant -> City of calamity

Both pathways under it give you more control over the world's inhabitants for the purpose of calamity and eventually control over weather, nature and disasters meanwhile the tyrant gains control over the world around them, grows from sea dvellers which mirrors soliders and assassins especially the pirates and can make disasters

White Tower -> Knowledge moor

I mean it is the difference between intellengence and magic via information vs the concept of information

Simply put the symbolisms and their applications are a very interesting aspect of the world of lotm, so now we are looking for a character in any fictional media (Books, Manga, Comics, Movies, Games...), who can take one of the sefirot.

This time its: Calamity of Destruction

Its core symbolisms are: Calamity of Destruction, Origin of Disaster

Along with: Mirrored Original Creator, Yin and Yang, Conquest, the Destruction Wrought by War, the Arrival of the Apocalypse, the Return to Chaos, Disaster, Fire of Destruction, Demoness, Red Priest

Its pathways are: Red Priest and Demoness

RULES:

  1. The character needs to be Divine in any way

-- This can be due to them being a (demi-)god, presented as divine (Like Gojo), hold a divine title (Like Ryomen Sukuna), be treated as a god or them being an entity that represents, is or holds authority over a concept

-- This means that entities, humans and ascended count too

  1. The character needs to fit all the symbolisms in some way

-- You can stretch this too you just need something on each symbolism

  1. Religions and mythologies are forbidden but fictional versions of these characters are fully allowed

  2. The character gets bonus points if they fit the authorities, pathways and the sefirot itself

  3. The points will mostly be convincing me via arguments plus upvotes, though I will try to be objective despite myself putting submissions in the comments

  4. It really doesn't have to be a perfect fit but ultimatly we are trying to get close

Does anyone even read to this point?

  • Name: RedEmperor (RedSolider, RedElite, RedCaptain, RedCommander)
  • Type: Passed on/Unique
  • Range: Varied
  • Ability Summary: The wielder of this Cursed Technique is able to become the incarnation of Red (that is War, Fire, Masculinity and Destruction) and spread it.

Description: A unique cursed technique that evolves via rituals, the higher the rank of the user the more abilities he has, which are in one of the 4 categories. However to advance the user needs to both master their given skills, adapt personally to the powers and spread the technique. This cursed technique once belonged to a special grade curse, the great dragon of destruction, but the User of the ReFate cursed technique utilizing his domain expansion and a layered binding vow Retried that curse along some others and splintered them while they were still forming. After the true death of ReFate these curses remerged as cursed techniques with Destruction being split into the X and Y.

The following will be explained in the ranks, if an ability shows up later then a lower rank simply can't optain it. War is the backbone of this technique, if the highest ranking member is incapazitated its unavailable, if that member is dead a new one can be appointed to get the ability running again. It is unknown how the Great dragon of destruction can be brought back but theories suggest its the child of the RedEmperor and PinkEmpress, which would be the death of both.

Rank: RedSolider (Grade 4)

The starting point, to become this a higher ranking member has to give you a spot in the army via a 1 hour ritual. You have to be male, possess no cursed technique of your own and swear an oath to the leader.

War: You get to be part of the army, only relevant for higher ranking members

Fire: Your cursed energy trait, burns through everything though it takes a while. This can be used to enhance clothes/armor and melee weapons too. Its orange yellow at this level and only allows to coat you for combat

Masculinity: You have an easier time at building muscle, mastering melee weapons and a higher stress tolerance

Destruction: Unavailable

Rank: RedElite (Grade 3)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) master the use of a weapon along with coating it in burning cursed energy and defeat a warrior in combat (cursed spirits count though you would need to exorcise 1 grade 3 or 5 grade 4.

War: You can spread the technique to create RedSoliders, any RedElite commands a max of 5 RedSolider

Fire: You can enhance the range of your melee weapons with it by 50% (no mass), make it slightly explode in close range, concentrate it to a crimson white color within 5 seconds for a full minute or enhance a projectile with it.

Masculinity: You get slightly taller, extra pain tolerance and have an easier time mastering ranged weapons

Destruction: Unavailable

Rank: RedCaptain (Grade 2)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) max out your solider count and win a fight by commanding them also master your new fire abilities

War: You can now appoint members to RedElite and send one word orders telepathically in a 15 meter radius. A RedCaptain commands a max of 4 RedElites.

Fire: Your firepower, speed and range is enhanced. You can concentrate into the crimson white color in 3 seconds for 3 full minutes or to an even higher level azure color in 5 seconds for a full minute. You can create a physical melee weapon with cursed energy (very expensive, only for emergencies), only a user of Red can wield it.

Masculinity: You get taller, have increased charm and become fairly attractive. Allies are now compelled to respect you.

Destruction: You can now manipulate the area around you to create faivorable fighting conditions. These exist on the spectrum of AoE (an hour of wind in the enemies' eyes) and Damage (a hat sized meteorite). Mainly used to blow sand into the direction of your opponents.

Rank: RedCommander (Grade 1)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) max out your solider count and locate and win a fight (equivalent to a grade 1 curse) by yourself and your army alone also master your new destruction abilities

War: You can now appoint members to RedCaptain and send one sentence orders telepathically in a 100 meter radius. A RedCommander commands a max of 3 RedCaptains. Techniques can be shared to a solider or to oneself for a one time use from a willing master of that technique as long as they are in the army.

Fire: All abilities are enhanced. Crimson white takes 1 second for 10 minutes, azure 3 seconds for 5 minutes and violet 5 seconds for 1 full minute. At this level a RedCommander can fire bend for more complex attacks and form the fire into a material shape for ranged attacks. Weapon creation is now cheap in comparison.

Masculinity: You are now 200 cm if you weren't already. You are considered extremely handsome and can easily provocate enimies. You command authority over your allies.

Destruction: Your control over the area is strong enough to influence the weather and all your options are enhanced.

Rank: RedEmperor (Special Grade)

You are now the incarnation of war and inside you is the RedSeed, to create the seed you have to provoke and win a conflict big enough that its equivalent to 3 grade 1s or more. When you die not only does the second highest rank get appointed leader they get the seed too and advance much more easily

War: You can now appoint members to RedCommander and send three sentence orders telepathically in a 1 kilometer radius. A RedEmperor commands a max of 2 RedCommanders. Techniques can be shared to an army member or to oneself for a one time use from a master of that technique as long as they are in the army. You can also concentrate cursed energy from your army into you and use soliders as mediums for you techniques. You can now use your domain expansion (Conquered Land, a crimson red fortress) which is an area that allows you and your soliders to absorb life energy and cursed energy from an opponent in melee combat while not using another cursed technique.

Fire: Your fire is enhanced. You can constantly keep your CE, weapons and armor in flames and for 3 hours in crimson white with an instant activation. 1 Hour of azure with a 3 second activation and 30 minutes of violet with a 5 second activation time. You unlock red flames which you can coat a melee weapon in and hold until you use one attack, this is the highest degree of power you can use and can burn through pretty much every defense.

Masculinity: Your charm has reached the maximum level, passively you are considered the most handsome and you can actively compel your allies to follow you with a near 100% success rate, compel women to refuse to fight you and compel men to want to kill you.

Destruction: Your manipulation is further enhanced. You unlock two rituals RedDragon, via a 15 minute ritual you can turn a solider into a dragon permanently who's power depends on their rank, and RedDisaster, which creates a natural disaster the size of which depends on how long and how many resources are used. These dragons are counted as cursed spirits and are quite strong flying fire breathers but lose their other abilities and gain a weakness to RCT.

CTR:

Allyship allows the user to create respect based Binding Vows between the highest ranking user and a willing outside human ally. That ally is then counted as a member of the army for the cursed technique and leaves the army if the highest ranking member dies even if the RedSeed is preserved. The maximum number of allies depends on the highest rank (Redcaptain 2, Redcommander 4, RedEmperor 8)

Conscription allows the user to create fear based Binding Vows between the highest ranking user and an outside cursed spirit. That spirit is then counted as a member of the army for the cursed technique and leaves the army if the highest ranking member dies even if the RedSeed is preserved. The maximum number of spirits depends on the highest rank (Redcaptain 2, Redcommander 4, RedEmperor 8)
