—Black sclerae, bright irises. Grayish skin. Dark tinted glasses, usually. Tattered red ribbon in hair.
—White and light brown wings with scraggly, unkempt feathers. The wings hang limply; he can't move them well. A few feathers growing along with his hair, tiny feather patches for eyelashes.
—Delicate runic scarring patterns over his body, especially wrapped around the arms and neck. | | 15 Second Summary | TL;DR what if you actually COULD help everyone around you by suffering more and more, and it really WAS your obligation to do so, would that be fucked up or what
—Born into the role of Lord Hallow, savior of an eschatological cult: a captive idol, adored, meant to lead them in easing all human suffering until God erases the world. The cult (completely sincere in its altruistic motivation) achieves this function via caretaking, healing, community service, annnd fucked up pain rituals to transfer suffering to the Hallow until the apocalypse is triggered. For as many Hallows in a row as it takes.
—Abandoned the cult as an adult and is being hunted down by the orders of his only childhood friend, who was forced to take the mantle in his absence, so she can make him take it back.
—Pretended to be a priest for a different religious sect for several years to secure shelter/protection, until his wings stopped working. Huh. Has spent a long time being pursued from place to place by the cult, unable to create a real life anywhere.
—Generally kind and calm, but harbors a deep well of bitterness, uncertainty, instability, and guilt. A good boy, but not nearly as much as he was supposed to be, and very unnerved by the distance between those two goodness levels. Vacillates between self-sacrifice and rebellious selfishness. He's an excellent liar/performer/actor, perceptive and at times manipulative, as a result of the cult stuff.
—Above all, he is weird about suffering in many contradictory ways. | | Abilities & Permissions | | Abilities | —Has versatile magic as a wizard, not related to his whole Hallow thing.
—Can absorb injuries and sorrow, though not completely, through ritual.
—Requires constant injury to avoid becoming continuously more connected to the divine, which would be Bad.
—Has a vague mental connection to God so he can feel its disappointment in him and its constant observation.
—Stains from his blood last a really long time...? | | Permissions | Please touch base with me about sex or killing! Because of some central stuff about his character, self-injury wouldn't feasibly be avoidable as a topic for close CR. | | Sensing | Pings as magical and semidivine. | | Memory/Skills Registry Link | |
