Theologically speaking, the Star Child would then be the Fifth Divine Being/Entity/Force of Humanity (Omnissiah/Avatar of Machine God, Machine God proper, Emperor, Motive Force) so that would fit in with its holy number of five if you wished so.
Already covered by the Motive Force, unless you are going for something along the lines of connection/unity instead of life/movement.

Connection/unity could work, yeah.
 
Yeah, I like that, the Star Child is at the center, reliant on but also a culmination of--but not a replacement for--the other four, thus making five.

The Unity/Connection of the Faith is needed to conceive of him in part in the "How you make a Warp God" part, while the spark of life/movement that is the Motive Force is obviously needed, and the Omnissiah-Emperor, both at once and neither... (in typical Trinitarian 'if you question the mystery you're doing it wrong' sense)... who are the Fathers/Father of the Star Child.

Thus are five one, and yet five.

Also, just to note, this is 100% your chance to unfuck the "Knowledge is Power" sthick of the Mechanicum and prevent your priesthood from turning into a guild that hoards knowledge/power so that they are powerful and can't be replaced.

Just as a FIY from your friend Heroic Cooky Quest Master. :3
 
How about this:

I am emperor, I am Omnissiah, I am machine (motive force), I am flesh (living stuff), I am Star Child, I am all but I am more. And I refuse to go gently into the night.

Last bit I added because what are we doing but raging against the dying of the light.

I think the Unity of the Faith might be the eway to do it, because if you're making a machine, do you have it so that there is one gear, or so that there are many? If it is the whole of the machine that creates the body that, through the motive force, can actualize the Star Child, child of Emperor and Ominissiah and Emperor-Omnissiah... then to keep knowledge hidden is to keep the machine unbuilt...
 
Is it possible humanity as a collective sloted as five?
The Laurent has already posted a framework for one such thing, but that is a Yes for me if you wish to create one from five.
then to keep knowledge hidden is to keep the machine unbuilt...
:ninja:
out of curiosity does the dark king exist in this timeline?
Yes, but as the Star Father (counterpart to the Star Child). It ripping apart the Star Child during its Waking/Birth will be the Bad End of Humanity, akin to Slaanesh being it for the Eldar.

But unless you fuck it up on a scale I can't imagine you being able to do, it will get murder-blended by the Star Child.
 
Adding onto my previous post, we can further try to separate our New Onmissiah's innovation from Vashtorr's "innovation" by focusing on the positives of what we'd see as the good kind of Innovation.

Like, "If you're designing or improving upon technology to help uplift humanity to bring a better tomorrow, or just trying to improve the lives of your fellow people, then you're properly innovating".

Then we associate the actual bad parts and negatives of innovation with Vashtorr, like genuine mad science and warp fuckery, and if the purpose of your upgrades and designs aren't for betterment of society. (I.e. don't make machines that are literally fuels by daemons to spite your enemies).
 
"I believe in the Omnissiah and Emperor, Lords and Lord Almighty, creator and bounder of all knowledge and life.

I believe in the body of the faith, holy and catholic--universal in its reach to all who can join as part of this unity and communion, a community of belief thus sacred in its purpose regardless of prior species, creed, or faith.

I believe in the Motive Force, the energy itself, the life that turns the gears of the great machine that shall help produce a Great Light, the Light of Hope.

I believe that this Light of Hope, begotten child of the Omnissiah and Emperor, indivisible and one, and yet two, is the Star Child, the culmination and reflection of the final light that shall save the galaxy."

Or something, I'm working on trying to adapt the Apostles Creed. :V

That's why I added "I am all but I am more" to say that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

That would push towards Unity, after all the whole can apply to even the entire galaxy if we want to.

Rage. Rage against the dying of the light.

That's what I was thinking of.

Though... I could replace light with hope. Like we refuse to let hope die?

How able Starchild as core aka potential of Mankind and humanity itself his Flesh or Body. Motive force is his heart that bind all his aspects, machine God his his crown or wisdom, Emperor is his right hand or bloodly hand of rulership/war and omnissah is his left hand aka a hand of innovator or crafter.

Starchild is reference point that allow machine God aka universe can be understood by humanity. Truth or knowledge, which is one with the universal being, must be understood though human perspective. At least, the truth which is described as scientific and which only can be reached through the process of logic—in other words, by an organ of thought which is human. According to the Indian philosophy there is Brahman/Machine God, the absolute truth, which cannot be conceived by the isolation of the individual mind or described by words, but can be realized only by merging the individual in its infinity aka though starchild which allow humanity to interact with machine god or universe.
 
@HeroCooky how does this look?

I am Emperor, I am Omnissiah, I am Machine, I am Flesh, I am Star Child, I am all but I am more. I am Humanity, and I refuse to let any of it die.

Does it make sense, or does Humanity end up like a sixth element?

Nah, that looks like a perfectly vote-able option to me. I 'aint gonna screw you over for not accounting for all meta-physical aspects of this vote, as that is 100% a subjective thing and would be asshole-ish of me to do if I did.

How does "I am the legacy of the Four Forces of Human Divinity, unified into the Fifth Force, incarnate of the causes of Hope and Rebirth, known forevermore as the Star Child."?

It simplifies the voting option to make it closer in appearance to the alternative options while still carrying the point across.

Too obvious and too... mundane? I was trying to keep to the style of options Cooky presented, more open to interpretation.

Plus, I believe the Star Child to be more than just Hope and Rebirth.
