Well, going off on the standard set of abilities listed for Apostle Lords in the species list, Apostle Lords have a divine blessing from a god by default and have the ability to proselytize for their god. So I'd wager that the Apostle Lord is a lot like the other monsters blessed by gods who, just by their existence, help gather faith (and, consequently, divine power) in the existence of the god. In Rou's case, though, the Great God of End and Origin has a great amount of interest in him, so his ranking up into an Apostle Lord seems to signify that. In either case, an Apostle Lord seems to be a living symbol of faith for the god they represent.

As for Blood Lords, I wonder if what they're able to create depends on their specialty. For Sato, it's swords. But would it be possible for them to use other weapons? Axes, spears, maybe even arrows? It's interesting to think about. However, I agree with battle mania and general blood lust being a requirement for the class, or possibly something that comes packaged along with it (since Mi's taste for blood having been acquired from becoming a vampire while Fu's preference for rotting flesh preceded her becoming a ghoul; as long as a monster fulfills at least some of the requirements to evolve into a race, the other inclinations that come with it may just be imposed upon them upon evolution).

As long as we're talking about this, I'd say Sei's evolution into a Spiritian Queen was because of how widely she cast her net as a Spell Lord in the pursuit of magical knowledge. If she just concentrated on certain branches of magic, I'm sure her evolution and its abilities would have reflected that.

There's a lot of flexibility in the evolution system of monsters, seeing as how, if a race did not exist before, it can come into existence if the monster is just that unique enough of an existence while proving itself worthy of evolution under the laws of the world. The same seems like it could apply to the job system of humans too, seeing as how Rou hoped that it would be possible for the job masseuse to come into existence. So because of this flexibility, the paths to evolving to a certain race should be similarly varied.
