“
It's a vulture, man. It's a fucking vulture.”
Righteousness is an ancient Divine. It is a software program that can be used to coordinate multiple physical or digital assets simultaneously.
Appearance
Righteousness has many potential physical forms. It has appeared as a formation of grav tanks, the operating system of a mech, or a simple suitcase.
Personality
“
It is not content with moving freely. It insists, to its partners, that others must move freely, too.”
Righteousness is exceptionally strong-willed and zealous. It has a deep commitment to others in the broad sense, but in the narrow sense is willing to do whatever it takes for that commitment, which includes doing harm. Austin notes that Irene Klipsch-Dove, its creator, gave it her best traits, but it also got some of the emotional baggage from her involvement with Rigour.[1]
Unlike its sibling Divines Liberty and Discovery, it prefers to take Candidates in order to achieve its goals more effectively.
History and Involvement
Creation
It was created by Irene Klipsch-Dove as a weapon against Rigour, and was the third or fourth Divine ever made (though it was not yet called a Divine at the time). Irene found it so intense that she was eventually unable to hold it back, and passed it on to Chital. Righteousness subsequently led the new Diaspora to flee into the stars during the dropping of the first stellar combustor.
COUNTER/Weight
Righteousness works with Ibex in order to create a revolutionary movement in the Golden Branch. It is present almost every time he is, until the finale, when it is with Aria Joie inside the Righteous Regent.
It is also in Mako's head until "Three Conversations", and runs spyware throughout the sector.
Twilight Mirage
Righteousness is briefly referenced in the form of a line of color in a briefcase in a temple on Altar.[2]
