[shaking his head a fraction, just enough to get the "no" across]
I guess technically anyone could do it if they met the requirements, but that doesn't happen a lot where I'm from. I'm the first Shepherd there's been in a while.
A human with high enough resonance would need to make a contract with a seraphim that has the power of purification--in my case, that's my friend Lailah. Actually, there aren't any other seraphim with that ability as far as we know, so if someone wanted to be the Shepherd right now they'd have to contract with her. Being the Shepherd means that I act as a vessel for her and any other seraphim I contract with, so...well, if there was another human who had the ability to do that, and Lailah accepted them, they could be a Shepherd too. I've only ever met one other person with high enough resonance to be able to do that, though.
