[hider=Priest] Name: Priest (An alias.) Age: 31 Appearance: [center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/d0/23/79/d02379a10c295918a328b667685a89aa.jpg[/img][/center] Priest has an arrogant smirk plastered on his face almost constantly. He always wears clothing that covers most of his extremities, habit from his youth. Height/Weight: About 5'11 and built like a hawk. He's wiry but has no strength that would make him stand out. Weighs about 160 pounds. Skills/Powers: Priest is a collector of knowledge, mystical weapons and ancient artifacts. If there is something that ties to the mystics and pagan rituals of the past he has an interest in it. To be fair this will include signature powers he has gained from artifacts that significantly change the way he works. Cheating Death: At least that's the way he likes to look at it. Priest has helped a lot of people out of their money by healing and acting the part of a holy man. In reality he uses practices that a Christian world would frown upon. One cannot deny however that his ability to heal others is very effective. He's even managed to cure diseases. Quite impressive. The downside is that the first few times he did it he wound of scrambling the subjects anatomy so bad they instantly died. He's gotten really good at it since then. Priest must be touching a subject to heal them and he cannot raise the dead. Weapon(s)/item(s): The Book of Thoth: Ancient book of magic and rituals supposedly belonging originally to Thoth himself, an Egyptian god of magic and watcher over the dead. The book itself holds a great deal of mysteries and despite having held it in his collection for quite some time Priest still hasn't unlocked all its secrets. The spells he has translated are mostly obscure rituals but there are some support spells detailed inside that allow Priest to be a real help on a battlefield. It grants him specifically power to heal using his magic, this of course has no effect on robots (For obvious reasons). This takes him a moment of concentration and he must be close to an ally. He's good at keeping focus but breaking his concentration while he does this isn't wise (You should have seen his first test subjects, that was messy). Alternatively that means he can screw with people's anatomy on purpose and play the part of god. He keeps the book locked away somewhere unknown to keep his secrets hidden. Clay Golem: An ancient Hebrew construct he learned about from Rabbis in Jerusalem. This particular one he has named Bob. Bob is eight feet tall and weighs about eight hundred pounds. Bob is capable of recovering from most attacks by absorbing the material around him. Bob's weakness is a scroll kept in the back of his mouth with Priest's name written on it. Golems like this are generally something only a high-ranking Hebrew sorcerer would have access to. But like most things he uses, Priest stole that knowledge and used it for his own gain. Bob is able to change the way his outer shell looks so he appears like a roided-out super lifter with a bald head and wears clothes to match his size. He is absolutely obedient to Priest and makes for a fine body guard and bullet shield. Priest has often been tempted to mount rocket launchers on him for something but hasn't been bold enough to do something like that.. yet. Bob himself has a personality. He is deadly in how blunt his words are. Magnum Revolver: In an age where a gun is faster and stronger than any weird magic practice why not use one? He might like magic but it's unconventional and there's a reason the gods of the old world are mostly forgotten. In a conflict firepower is a god. Magic Ball: Mmm... Witches, fortune tellers, psychics. They all use these tricks. This allows Priest to sit back and watch people like the creep that he is. Most fortune tellers make use of these to cheat people of their money. Most fortune tellers also don't use real magic to scry with. There's a grain of truth to every deception. And Priest's power is real. Just like how fantasized magic and curses work there needs to be a medium for sight to work. An object or a willing person in order to spy on a location. Personality: Let's be serious. Priest is a foul, cocky dirtbag. But he's one that people deal with because he's a useful dirtbag. He shows a great deal of interest in people's secrets and information in general he treasures. He hates putting himself at risk unless there's something to be gained that he deems is worth it. Priest is also an effective con artist and actor. If it time to act nice he can do it. Bio: Priest originally grew up on the streets learning while his lazy parents loafed off the government teat and had no jobs. He was a delinquent, a small-time teenage gang leader at one point, a con artist at another. It wasn't until he ran into the real deal, trying to trick a gypsy that he learned the hard way how real some of these powers were. After that he became obsessed with finding more. He learned some of the gypsy's tricks then he used them to look for more, abusing his power of observation to black mail people, cheat others and gain money towards his next escapade. Priest made a lot of enemies in those years but he thought it was worth it. The information he earned brought him to Egypt and other such places, some of the earliest recordings of magic, however slim the chances of finding more were. Here he found the Book of Thoth buried in a place he has scryed tirelessly to find. That no one else had managed to locate. The book gave him secrets that led him to use the alias Priest. He left his old name behind, he had no parents, no family. At least that's what he told himself. Using newfound power he started a Christian talk show and was indeed Pastor Priest for a while, legitimately healing people and cheating thousands out of their money. He may have done some good but he wasn't doing it on faith, only money. After a while he allowed himself to disappear while some other sham took over the show before it went off air a little while after. Blaque found him. When no one in the world should have been able to track him or know anything about him, Blaque did. Damned man was frightening. [/hider]
