Apostolosians are an offshoot of humanity. They have humanoid forms, but may have varying levels of fishlike features.[note 1] Many have gills on their necks and visible scales on their faces or bodies; some may be slightly iridescent or have unusual skin colors. Most Apostolosians are from one of the Apostolosian cultures that have existed over the course of the Divine Cycle.
Culture
Gender
In COUNTER/Weight, Apostolosian had a six-fold gender and pronoun system based on their six Eidolons.
By PARTIZAN, the Apostolosian pronoun system has expanded, along with the number of Eidolons. A shortened form of a chosen Eidolon's name is prefixed to an Apostolosian person's first name; this short form is what may be used as a pronoun. The other prototypical pronoun is they/them. Not all Apostolosians use these pronouns.

Apostolosian Empire

Apostolos was an empire which extended through the Golden Branch. Its ruler was known as an Apokine. When it encountered OriCon and the Diaspora, there was an attempted (and failed) war of expansion, which resulted in many planets being ceded to the other two sides. After the Golden War and Rigour's subsequent defeat, some of these planets were returned.
Golden Demarchy
See also: Golden Demarchy
A government which appointed its officials by sortition from pools based on the six Eidolons and led by an elected Demarch. Not much is known about the period between the creation of the Demarchy and Apostolos's reappearance approximately fifty thousand years later. Lots of things probably happened.
Stel Apostolos
See also: Stel Apostolos
After the Divine Principality emerged, it started encroaching on Apostolosian territory. In reaction, Apostolos returned to imperial governance led by an Apokine.
The Principality's machinations made sure Apostolos was eventually incorporated within the Principality. It became a driving force in its war with the Branched. Eventually, however, the betrayal that caused Apostolos to become a Stel also caused Apokine Dahlia to begin a civil war between Stels Kesh and Apostolos.
Notes
- ↑ In COUNTER/Weight the possibility of gills or other features is mentioned but not discussed in much detail. In subsequent seasons this is elaborated on.
