Yeah, maybe it's a predisposition towards the sort of combat that those with Champion/Great Hero (mentioning both cause otherwise people will be confused =p) jobs do.

However, the whole "Apostle" thing is suspicious to me as well. When I hear "Apostle" I think of the bible, heh. Which is part of the reason I suspected a (deep?) connection with at least one God being necessary.

That said...I took a look at his ability list real fast, and Rou actually  does  have the blessing from 5 gods (though only one  directly  from ranking up and directly given to him, the others are through Absorption) when he ranks up into an Apostle Lord:

Since he has 5 orbs...the number of blessings coincides with that perfectly.
 * Great God of Origin and Demise
 * Demigod of Fire
 * Demigod of Kindness
 * Demigod of War
 * God of Storms

Therefore, it adds some validity to my hypothesis that the number of Orbs an Apostle Lord has might depend on the number of blessings they have. I'm sure this also helps to determine their base specs (though I'm sure there's a bunch of other things as well, but...yeah). Not sure if this is true for  other  Lord species, though...it's pretty hard to say for sure, since many of them have orbs w/o having a God's blessing...but the only two Apostle Lords we know of have blessings from a God of some sort.

Anyway, when Rou becomes a Vajrayaksa Overlord, he develops 13 Orbs, right?

If you look at the ability list from when he evolves, it looks like he only has 7 blessings (same conditions as above w/regards to Absorption and stuff) at that time:

Therefore, it's fairly safe to assume that if the Apostle Lord has that sort of stipulation for the number of orbs, the Vajrayaksa Overlord sure as hell  doesn't .
 * Great God of Origin and Demise
 * Demigod of Fire
 * Demigod of War
 * Demigod of Kindness
 * God of Storms
 * Demigod of Shaping
 * Demigod of Dancing

That said...there's the possibility of each blessing conferring  two  orbs, since he has them symmetrically. However, that's only 13 Orbs...so you'd have to assume in that case that at least one of them wasn't dupilcated. In which case, it's probably a safe bet to assume that that one would be his initial blessing's Orb (the Great God), since it's probably an absurdly powerful item on its own, heh.

It's...really hard to say, though. The only way to know any of that for sure would be for the author to directly state it. XD

As for Asue, Sei and Sato's stones...

Asue has a yellow stone in her abdoment and one behind each of her elbows when she becomes a Half Earth Lord.

For Sei, hers was only the Orb in between her horns, a sapphire looking one. She got this when she became a Half Spell Lord.

For Sato, it looks like she gained 3 as well. One is a "ruby" that extended out from her head, and the other two are red orbs embedded in her hands.

Basically, the only one that appears to have one orb from these three is Sei. It's most likely because of her species, I imagine.

Also, when it mentions Asue's orbs, it also mentions that these contain the characteristic abilities of their species. However, as you said...Apostle Lords were definitely extinct before Rou became one, so it's hard to say whether his orbs are a direct result of blessings or something else (though I suspect I'm on the right track w/regards to this, heh).
