Quote:I don't disagree with that or the rest of your post. And there is definitely wiggle room. The system was presumably created by and is definitely maintained by kami-sama and his opposite number to avoid the of gods/demons of both sexes.
Actually... I think that there's enough "wiggle room" in Peorth's comment that it's possible not every god and demon is part of the doublet system.
Peorth's comment (assuming the translation I posted was completely accurate) does state that not every god and demon has a doublet. Oddball cases are likely to attract attention/anger are so are MORE likely to have a doublet to prevent them being killed.
My take on the system is as follows:
1) If a god/demo kills one of their opposite number then they COULD lose one of their number as well and they don't want that.
2) Kami-sama and his opposite number either know or work out those gods and demos who are more likely to be in situations where they may be killed by one of their opposite number are more likely to create a doublet pair.Thrase/Thraen/Williath
