[b][color=fff79a]Height:[/color][/b] 5'6"
[b][color=fff79a]Weight:[/color][/b] 145lbs
[b][color=fff79a]Build:[/color][/b] Cut
[b][color=fff79a]Eyes:[/color][/b] Deep Mahogany
[b][color=fff79a]Hair:[/color][/b] Ebony with a little gray
[b][color=fff79a]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] Tan and worn
[b][color=fff79a]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] Back is covered with numerous scars, tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades; horseshoe overlaid with a sheriffs star overlaid with a skull. 
[b][color=fff79a]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Is there a personal style for a man of the cloth? For the preacher there is. Wearing all black at all times like most Catholic priests he still has his own personal twist on what he wears. He prefers jeans to slacks, specialized collared shirts instead of traditional, cowboy boots over dress shoes.

	He is also oddly groomed for a preacher, never being clean shaven or sporting a beard; a five day shadow always haunting him. Then there is his hair; raggedly cut but gelled and styled meticulously in a just rolled out of bed fashion. The man always seems to look like a drunken Halloween Costume parading as a Priest.

[i][color=fff79a][center][color=ed1c24]Wrathful[/color] * [color=39b54a]Kind[/color] * [color=ed1c24]Prideful[/color] * [color=39b54a]Diligent[/color] * [color=ed1c24]Lustful[/color] * [color=39b54a]Generous[/color][/center][/color][/i]

[b][color=fff79a]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual
[b][color=fff79a]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single
[b][color=fff79a]Personality:[/color][/b] To say Atticus is what a person would think of as a preacher personality wise would be both the complete truth and an utter lie. He is kind and very compassionate. Looking out for his flock and trying to lead them down  the right path. A studious man who knows his religion and beliefs like the back of his hand. A shoulder to lean on and someone to call on when one is heavy hearted, the man would give the shirt off his back to any in need without question.

	On the flip side of that coin is a very human man who strays from the path regularly. When he sees wrong doing he becomes wrathful, laying down his own version of justice that is anything but turn the other cheek. He has addiction problems ranging from gambling to drinking and even the indulgence of the flesh. A hot hand or a hot body is not something he can say no to. Prideful as Lucifer himself, he believes his personal outlook on religion is the perfected middle ground. Such is the duality of Preacher.

[b][color=fff79a]The Reason You Chose The Side You Did:[/color][/b] Looking at his life, one might think that Atticus would hate the Alliance but he doesn't. He sees the virtues in both sides of the war and their sins. He feels they both are in the right and in the wrong and must come to a common ground if either side is going to survive this war. He will never chose a side, but always dance that middle ground and each moment he decides what he will do for himself and what is in the interest of the greater good. 

[b][color=fff79a]History:[/color][/b] Atticus was born to money and wealth, the son of a Magistrate. He never wanted for much; being educated from a young age but the boy was a born trouble maker and used his knowledge of chemistry to blow up more than one class room when a teacher would not give him the grade he felt he deserved. When caught he would bring forth some story of another who had been wrongly prosecuted for standing up for what was right. 

Eventually his father was tired of the fights, the arson, and the attitude; shipping him off to an old Catholic Mission for what he hoped was a little bit of God. He got more than what he bargained for. Atticus had the calling and became obsessed with righting his wrongs and the wrongs of others; taking the letter of the bible too far. He was still starting fires, blowing up places, and stealing from the Alliance - yet now he was backed by the word of god. This lead to several run ins with the law and one charge of man-slaughter that was never able to be proven.

That was until the Unification War Broke out. He was assigned to render last rights to those that had fallen in the battle of Serenity Valley but told not to give any peace to the fallen Browncoats. That was the last straw. To be told who he could and could not save was, in his words, [i]horseshit.[/i] He did so anyways and was locked up for six months for the crime of Insubordination & Assault With A Holy Artifact. (He bashed a commanding officer over the head with a bible.)

After his release he re-evaluated his life. God was still there but he felt god was on vacation. Sitting down he prayed, and drank, and loved, and lost, and had hang overs, and got tossed in jail a few nights, and then repeated the process until one day while walking to the local watering hole he spotted Vengeance and felt a tug towards it. Taking an open spot on Vengeance he has kept with them, helping where he can and using the vessels stopping points as places to preach and to get his sin on.

⚜ [color=f26522][b]Anisa Crowe[/b][/color] ⚜
[i]"I pray for her."[/i]
Atticus actually likes Ani but he wouldn't call them friends but he doesn't feel any of the tension between them. He looks at them as nearly one in the same person. They both are trying to save things. He is trying to save souls, she is trying to save her crew. He respects that she lays everything on the line for them. Sure they butt heads but hey, it isn't anything a fifth of whiskey and a good hand of cards can't fix right? Have to start on common ground if you want to lead the flock. 
[hr]
☯ [color=D09A57][b]Jackson Tanner[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"I hope to save him before death."[/i]
Atticus gave last rights to the wife of Jackson Tanner after the battle of Serenity. He felt he helped to put her soul at rest and wishes to do the same for Jackson, if even only for his wife's sake. He knows the man cannot stand his preaching but that doesn't stop him and since he pays his way and he knows the crew needs the cash, he is going to keep at it. 
[hr]
☯/§ [color=EF5C86][b]Genevieve Dupoit[/b][/color] §/☯
[i]"Hey, I'm not one to judge."[/i]
One one would think being a Preacher that Atticus would have a huge problem with what Genevieve does to make a living. He doesn't, in fact he finds it intriguing to say the least. Pestering her from time to time, saying he'll listen if she wants to unload. Granted he means it, underneath all his lustful tendencies he is a Preacher but he knows he is annoying the hell out of her. Does that stop him? Nope.
[hr]
☮ [color=slategray][b]Gideon Engelhart[/b][/color] ☮ 
[i]"Out of the mouths of babes."[/i]
Hard to believe or not, Gideon and Preacher actually get along really damn well. Both have their own paths they have developed in life and they run with it. Good thing they both have similar vices. Granted that isn't to say Preacher doesn't preacher to Gideon, known to toss a Gideon Bible at him and laugh saying he needs to read his own book at least once. Atticus looks at Gideon as a younger brother and tries to guide the man; God help him. 
[hr]
☮/§/☠ [color=4dffa6][b]Dorothy Pender[/b][/color] ☠/§/☮
[i]"I'll make a convert of her yet!"[/i]
There probably isn't anyone on the ship that Atticus likes annoying more than Dorthy. The two have always had a tense relationship but what started out as a Scientist and a Preacher bitching at each other quickly turned into a Frenemy thing of the highest order. Their room wars are constantly disturbing the ship. Him tossing bibles into her quarters, her returning them demolished with books on evolution. Despite the arguing and hostilities there is a mutual respect for each of them towards the other. They are there to save people and in the end they use that as the base of everything else. 
[hr]
☠ [color=fff79a][b]Atticus Pearson[/b][/color] ☠
[i]"I am my own downfall."[/i]
We do not choose God, he chooses us... And I believe he chose poorly. I know what I am, I know my downfalls and my sins. They are etched into my skin and into my heart and into my soul. There is no salvation for me and I accept that. I made my choices freely. I will not repent for I knew exactly what I was doing and when the time comes I know there will be no pearly gates. I will greet Lucifer as an old friend, for he is expecting me for dinner. 
[hr]
⚜/§ [color=f6989d][b]Camilla Powell[/b][/color] §/⚜
[i]"Poor girl needs to forgive herself."[/i]
Despite how tense things are between Camilla and Preacher, Atticus has the deepest respect for her. She saw something wrong and instead of just sticking by it no matter what she changed and for the better in his eyes. He knows it can't of been easy to turn on everything she knew and loved but she did it. He just hopes that she can stay on the straight and narrow even if her monsters come back to haunt her.
[hr]
☯ [color=#9c6e6e]Lionel Wickett[/color] ☯
[i]"An eye for an eye."[/i]
Lionel to Atticus is a man just getting through the world. He thinks he puts a little too much stock in material things but hey the man knows a good drink so he can't fault him there. Even though Lionel doesn't usually give him much reason to preach to him, he still does because well that is what Preacher does. All in all though the two seem to be okay with each other. 
[hr]
§ [color=39b54a]Daphne Pender[/color] §
[i]"Pride is the original sin."[/i]
Youth has its virtues but it has one major downfall for many; pride and Atticus see rivers of pride coursing through Daphne's veins. If he wasn't such a sinful man himself maybe he could get through to her but he isn't going to change but that doesn't mean he won't keep trying to get her to see the light.

☠ [color=FF2F2F][b]Gregory Quinn[/b][/color] ☠
[i]"He will go to that special level of hell, reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater."[/i]
Atticus loathes Quinn for many reasons but the top of that list has to be that he refused to let him give last rights to those that were slaughtered after the Battle Of Serenity. Quinn was the one Atticus bashed over the head with a bible. He has heard the man used to be very different and he can believe that, few men start off as cruel as they become but he judges people on what they do, not what they did and this man is doing nothing but harm in his book.

☠ [color=FF3030][b]Reavers[/b][/color] ☠
[i]"Wuo Duh Tian Ah!"[/i]
At one point Preacher thought these [i]men[/i] were like others, and prayed they could be saved. That was until he had his first encounter with them and all that changed. He looks at them as damned souls now, a reminder of our sins. The equivalent to Gods Flood in Moses's time for the 'Verse.
