I wasn't quite sure what you meant, so I wrote for a couple of different sensation types. Hope this is what you're looking for! :)

Era V Ghouls With S/O Who Loves Gentle Shoulder Touches

When it comes to physical affection you've got the jack pot with the majority of ghouls! Physical touch is a regular and needed pack behavior when it comes to bonding. So ghouls ALWAYS love snuggling or grooming each other.

Cirrus: Prefers to give touches rather than receive them, so this works out for you both. She has a lovely way of mindlessly running her claws along your shoulders and spine- very gently tracing over each shape on your body. Most of the time she doesn't realize she's doing it. Is more likely to do so when you are around others, because it's her unconscious way of knowing she can protect you and claim you as HER partner.

Cumulus: Thinks it's adorable the way you always melt under her touch. She tends to especially tickle your shoulders and back when you are anxious or stressed out. It's her go to when you both cuddle and try to sleep. It works every time to get you to sleep!

Sunshine: They adore doing this for you! But... they also love getting the same shoulder scritches! So now you both have the best hug ritual when your in the mood for it. You and Sunshine will hold each other while facing, and then use both hands to tickle each others backs. It's some of the best cuddling you've ever had!

Swiss: Be careful what you wish for because he will actually try to tickle you! But he'll switch between trying to tickle you for real to get you laughing, or just doing the light scritches to relax you. Swiss is very big on touch, especially after a long day. So he's happy to go between soothing and playful. Whichever makes you happiest in the moment!

Mountain: Doesn't really use his finger tips or claws to caress your shoulders. He actually does this thing where he will gently ball up his fist and use his knuckles to slowly stroke around your back. It's soothing and like getting a massage when each of his knuckles find those spots under your shoulder blade and get all the tenseness out!

Aether: The king of any and all types of soothing physical touch! He knows EXACTLY how to move his hands over your back and shoulders for the best relaxation. Aether knows how to use his finger tips so it still tickles, but also gets the best pressure to not be too rough. His hands are magical and he has always put you to sleep tracing your back!

Rain: Another ghoul who absolutely wants the favor returned. Typically, you two will sit shoulder to shoulder while you hang out with the others. Each of you with an arm bent behind the other's back as you give each other shoulder rubs. You tend to like a more tickling sensation, and Rain prefers more of a scritching on his back.

Ember/Sodo: Unintentionally leaves more scratches than he means to. He constantly does the same thing a comfortable cat does- accidentally stick his claws out when he's just trying to make biscuits. It's very good when you have an itch at least! Ember is getting better at using less of his nails when he tries to tickle your shoulders the more he does it!

LMAOOOOOOOOO!! I can't even begin to imagine how confused everyone would be!! Because I can also imagine it being one of the band ghouls and having to call Copia in the middle of no where.

"Please come get me, there's corn everywhere..."

But I'm always happy to talk about Ghoul Geographic!! <3

Ghouls During Summoning

~Typical Clergy Sanctioned Summons (there is an important distinction) are always scheduled and based on need. Summonings are difficult both for the summoners and the ghoul being brought to Earth. Lucifer will reach out to the acting Papa or Ministry if there needs to be a SPECIFIC powerful ghoul in Hell He wants brought up. And a sanctioned summon is a VERY different experience from a summon that isn't authorized or performed by amateurs.

~From Hell, a ghoul can always tell when they are being summoned. Days leading up to it (Hell time is MUCH different than Earth time) a ghoul will feel restless. Not able to shake off the feeling that change is on the wind. But when it finally happens and the magics start to pull them, the ghoul will immediately recognize it. The call of their Dark Lord for something greater. To most it's like the mixture of purpose and overwhelming fear that tugs at every fiber of their being from mind to soul, ready to pluck them from their lives in Hell. It's an unmistakable NEED to answer it.

~A ghoul ALWAYS has the choice to not answer the call of the Clergy, but it's rare that a chosen ghoul would be one who is unwilling. Lucifer tends to pick his willing servants. In most ghoul tribes it's considered an Honor to be strong or skilled enough to be needed. So most are happy to go, albeit many reluctantly. Ghouls who don't want to go can dissipate the summoning magic with their own element. Usually as just a reflex from the ghoul to protect themselves rather than necessary.

~Physically, the ghoul will be consumed by both Hellish energies AND their own element. Imagine sitting next to your friend and suddenly the wing picks up and winds around them. Then you see bursts of color and shimmer surround them followed by them catching on fire and then suddenly disappearing. That's pretty much what other ghouls see during a summoning.

~Many ghouls have described the actual travel as off putting and strange. Like being pulled around like taffy but without the pain. Well, until the ghoul reaches through the metaphysical barrier that connects Earth to Hell. Then it's described as being painful. Brief moments of every cell in your body being both on fire and frozen as you are restructured into a new physical being. It eventually passes and the ghoul has to feel the weight of their summoning circle and bizarre new creatures who babble at them.

~Many ghouls also report a bit of a shock after being summoned because Earth FEELS fundamentally different than Hell in so many ways. Many are cut off from the main source of their power, so feel like they are wearing kit gloves all the time. That, and gravity seems lighter here. Others find it equally overwhelming because their senses are almost SHARPER on Earth. So the noises and lights are suddenly intense all the time.

~Unfortunately, you do get outside cults who steal summoning magic (though rare), AND you can get ministry members who get too big for their britches and think they can summon a ghoul by themselves. This is incredibly dangerous for both the summoner AND the ghoul, which is why it's so forbidden and harshly punished. What's worse this either can result in an angry and possibly injured ghoul being summoned against their will... or a ghoul kit being summoned because the summoner is not strong enough for an adult. Again, VERY HARSH PUNISHENTS for this- even more so if you are a clergy member.

~It's possible for a ghoul to be summoned to a different part of the Earth, but incredibly unnecessary. But then again, humans can also be 'summoned' if they have the right ties or loyalties. A same plane summoning might be attempted if the ghoul is missing or thought to be captured- but that has it's own risks.

Nameless Ghoul Headcanons - Leader Ghouls

(I wrote about this briefly once or twice, but I finally want to get it down and recorded!)

The Nameless Ghouls in the Clergy actually DO have a small handful of designated leaders. While not as established as the human ministry, there are named head ghouls. 

The two we are most aware of are Omega and Alpha, aka- currently the head Aether and Fire ghouls, respectively. But there are actually four more titles that are lesser known to the public outside of the Ministry! 

Originally, when the church was first formed and ghouls were summoned the human ministry realized ghouls needed their own ‘leaders.’ Aka, head elemental ghouls who had several responsibilities in the church. This ranged from being present with important summonings of stronger ghouls, keeping a semblance of balance amongst all the ghouls in different parts of the world, and even performing in the Ghost project. 

Each element has its own representitive ghoul, who serves as the acting most powerful ghoul in the clergy for said element. They are each given their own title. So far the line up is-

The Omega Ghoul - Quintesscence

The Alpha Ghoul - Fire

The Delta Ghoul - Water

The Gamma Ghoul - Earth

The Beta Ghoul - Air

The current Omega and Alpha are who WE know as Omega and Alpha! so far they have been the only known Omega and Alpha ghouls for centuries! This is also why they have different “names” compared to other band ghouls.  

Delta was actually the original bass ghoul for the Ghost project, but was quickly replaced due to his sour nature towards humans. He was better suited for his Ministry duties and was taken off to make way for a more agreeable ghoul. 

Gamma was replaced because he was needed after Papa I retired. Gamma has been a long time assistant and confidant, who was actually in the middle of looking for a successor when he was taken off of the Ghost Project.

The ghoul we know as Air WAS the Beta ghoul before the Ghost project. As the oldest living ghoul in the clergy he was the most powerful. But after five centuries of service he asked to stand down to find different work. The clergy wasn’t willing to let him back to hell, but for one reason no one knows, allowed him to name a successor Beta ghoul. Air is content to just be known as ‘air’.

And finally, there is actually a SIXTH named ‘leader’ ghoul only known by a very select hand picked individuals.

The Sigma Ghoul - aka, the Ghoul who Holds all Together. 

Only the Papas, Copia, Imperator, the current ghoul leaders, and a VERY VERY few select Clergy know who this is or what he does. 

Special will never admit to it. 

Ghoul Headcanons - Elements, Sub Types, and Tribes List

(Taking a break from my requests to write some world building. <3 A lot of this is inspired and collaborated with my friends. A big shout out to @knoife-ghoul and @blacklight-ghoulette for writing with, putting up with, and sharing with me. <3 A lot of inspiration has come from collaborations for personal works. But this is a refined version of my personal takes on the concepts.

Definitely check out these two for some awesome ghoul fics! their work is impeccable!! Thanks for creating with my ya’ll <3

Quick note: I might add to this in the future should more types come up!)

Ghoul Elements and Tribes 

The ghouls are an elementally imbued species split into five main elements, as illustrated by the band.

Fire, Air, Quintessence, Water, and Earth. Fire and Aether being the most powerful. 

Though a lot of the elements can be broken up into tribes or packs. Even two tribes of the same element might not HAVE the same exact powers. Tribes can be broken up by either power type or geographical location. Because ghouls have existed for so long, many have adapted to their specific environment. It’s probably impossible to map out EVERY single individual tribe or clan of ghoul, but here are some all encompassing categories.  

Fire - Funnily enough the least varied yet powerful group of ghouls. They mostly all live in Volcanic or high flammable areas of Hell. So their tribes are broken down into individual family clans and power strengths. They aren’t known to have particular ‘sub types’. But tribe independence is fiercely guarded. 

“Metal” ghouls - Fire ghouls that have taken to smithing and jewelry. Are known to be excellent crafters. They convert their element to make something useful. They boast the ability to harness raw volcanic material. These tribes tend to be more mountainous or dwell in deeper caves under ground. 

“Dragon” ghouls - not their own subtype or anything, but considered naturally the most powerful of fire types. These are just kin related tribes that take more dragon like features. Typically with hard scales, bigger horns, and thicker tails. Usually thought to be the direct descendants of Hell’s first fire ghouls. 

Air - besides the Aether tribes, not a lot is known about Air ghouls. Mainly because they are very secluded and stay to themselves. The fun fact of Air ghouls is that they tend to take on the most attributes to their environment. They often combine their natural powers with their habitat to create new magic. 

Storm Ghouls - The most dangerous type of Air ghoul. Through magic they have learned to control the weather around them. These types usually dwell in higher grounds. Be it mountains, hilled areas, or even high cliffs near the ocean. You can usually spot Storm ghoul territory by a sudden, violent change in weather. Some humans have speculated there might even be a collaboration between air and water elements to have spawned this tribe. 

Wind Ghouls - Considered the most common and aloof. Very hard to spot. It was thought that at one point these ghouls might have had wings or the gift of flight. Their tribes are often small and nomadic- to avoid interaction outside of their kin.  

Water - Water ghouls don’t vary in much of locations, but they do display a wide variety of physical appearances! Like fish, they often come in many scale and gill styles. The two main offsets of water ghouls are like, again, fish. You will typically have salt water and ocean water ghouls. 

Ocean ghouls - The original type of water ghouls, as birthed in Hell’s oceans. Known to have sharper teeth, bigger claws, and bigger scaled hides. Their water magic is more destructive and can even be weather based. 

DEEP ocean ghouls - Thought to be long died out. Considered the fore-bearers of the water tribes. Some of the oldest type of ghoul to have ever been spawned in Hell. If they still exist, no one sees them. They look very fierce and predatory compared to a common ghoul from these days. From what tribes have said, they are the only type to completely be able to live without going on land. 

River ghouls - The most common type of water ghoul currently. They are considered more docile than most, but don’t let that fool you. Their water magic is both powerful and the only element to heal that isn’t Aether based. Emotion tuned, sensitive, but ready to drown prey at a moments notice. Some ‘river’ fresh water ghouls will even have an entire lake claimed by one tribe. You will see more color in freshwater ghouls and finer scales with smaller gills and fins. 

Swamp/Marsh ghouls - (blow kisses for Blacklight Ghoulette, cause she made this a thing and it’s perfect). Ghouls, like any species, learn to adapt. And these ghouls are just as rare as their old ocean counter parts. They have developed more than just gills, but claws and rough hides. Think gators. Save these ones are way more territorial. Despite being powerfully built, they don’t use their elemental powers as often as their other kin.

Earth - The easiest of the tribes to differentiate. Mainly because they have become the most adapted to their individual environments and display as such. Earth ghouls like to mark their tribe by these locations and areas in Hell they call home. 

Plain Ghouls - Considered the ‘Original’ type of Earth ghouls. Common tribal powers encompass both plant and earth based magics. They are the most encountered of the Earth tribes and have a vast area they dwell in. Not very nomadic by nature. 

Stone (or Mountain) Ghouls - Ghouls that have migrated into either mountainous terrain or mining areas. They are known for their more rock based use of the element. Also known gem experts and are uncharacteristically tall for Earth ghouls. 

Forest Ghouls - Ghouls that dwell in the forests of hell. Marked by their elemental talents in growing plants and over all having a green thumb. 

Aether - These ghouls are incredibly hard to find in the wild, and not much is known about them. It is thought that these were the very first of the elements and first ghouls to be raised in Hell. All elements are thought to come from the earliest aether ghouls. Since this was so incomprehensibly long ago, only Satan himself could confirm it. Tribes are also very small and tend to be individual clans. All ghouls of this ilk do share the same powers. But certain ‘types’ show more talent or skill in the same tribe. 

Fortune Ghouls - Aether ghouls that are gifted in fortune telling and predictions. They have the most supernatural sense out of all. It is especially amplified in the human world. 

Empath or Aura Ghouls - The ghoul tribes who are thought to be able to read minds. Truthfully, their Aether abilities let them understand the world around them. Gifting them with the ability to ‘read’ any living being and understanding it’s nature. They tend to be able to know you better than yourself before even meeting you! 

Quintessence ghouls - Those who can manipulate the fabric of the universe around them. These are your teleporters and those who create and destroy matter. They are an exceptionally rare breed to come by, due to their powers. (Omega himself is rumored to hail from this tribe). 

Mind benders - Ghouls from this tribe are reported to be able to penetrate the mind and manipulate with great ease. These include memory wiping, memory viewing, or even mind control (should said ghoul be exceptionally powerful). 

Shape shifters - there is much debate if these ghouls even exist, even among other ghouls! It is thought that this long dead clan managed to bend the aether to nearly impossbile, demonic lengths. A demon kin skill that no ghoul should be able to master. The ability to change their shape to such an extent where no glamour is required. If the Clergy is to be believed, only one ghoul like this exists...
