[quote=j8cob]@knighthawk: I find the concept interesting, but I don't think you're utilizing the maximum potential of it. Why don't you build the character up a bit more, and make the sheet look nicer while you're at it.[/quote]

A good suggestion but limited to a small extent of being an 8 year old boy, there isn't much foundation when one is barely in the third grade for character history and personality. Some to be sure as provided and infinite room for potential. Perhaps you could enlighten me on something obvious I might have missed or a nuance left unused?

[center]Quite the willful little bastard, former nobility started by crafting the weapon of war lowered to priestly deeds has left a chip on his shoulder the size of a pagoda and he is more than eager to let people know it. He's been chosen by God to help win this war, who the hell is anyone else to say otherwise?[/center]
[center][b]Background:[/b][/center] 
[center]Fourth-born son of a dutch lord, his family instills him into the church to secure prestige and a seat in heaven for having a bishop as a son since they already have an heir and two spares. Others say there was a twin, but that he slew his brother in a rage and was cast to the church to repent for his biblical act. Suffice to say he is of no approval to the situation from a life of luxury as a lord to a life of labor for The Lord. He spends his time in the church until called to accompany a priest traveling to the land of japan to test the word of God against the demons, half the church says they sent him to japan just to get his spoiled self as far away as possible! The day that they arrive in port there is a great storm and Johan is blown into the bay where he sees a shimmering golden sword illuminated by bolts of lightning. Retrieving it from the ocean, it is taken by a guard who cant draw it no matter how hard he tries. Everyone on the ship has a try at it before handing it back to the outsider after they all confirm it must be rusted shut yet he draws it with ease. Now the priest follows Johan around as an aide since he has clearly been chosen by god to help save these heathens from their own demons.[/center]
