He is never seen with anything but a totally serene composure and not even his closest associates can recall even one time where he has raised his voice above a normal register. However, he also carries about him a powerful sense of unease or even dread. His colleagues have described it as an unshakable pressure, weighing down on them, present whenever Julius is in the room intensified even further when making eye contact with him. Despite this face, he is still well liked by his colleagues and regarded as one of the best in his field. In conversation he is exceedingly polite, albeit perhaps a bit too formal at times, and he is quick to amicably resolve any conflicts or disagreements that arise. His faith in God and The Church is overwhelming and absolute.[/indent] [sub][b]History[/b][/sub] [indent]Julius' life has been governed and shaped by the Church essentially from birth. Born an orphan to unknown parents, he eventually ended up in the custody of the Roman Catholic Church, more specifically the Vatican. There he was put through an intense doctrine of schooling, both religious and academic. He was allowed very little free time and was made to devote his entire being to his classes. He excelled at every subject he was given, and earned high praise from everyone who taught him. Eventually he was selected as a candidate for the Church's more ethically questionable research projects. He was subject to innumerable experiments by the Vatican, involving anything from holy relics, to extensive surgery. It was during one of these surgeries that his heart stopped beating and he was pronounced dead. However, he returned to life less than ten minutes later, without any outside resuscitation and without suffering any lasting damage from the incident. When he was later asked how he was able to come back to life after seemingly dying, he simply replied, "[color=cc0000]I was shown by The Lord that my work here is yet unfinished,[/color]". When his education, as well as his tenure as a research subject for the Church, was finished, he took up duties as a priest under the Vatican. His current responsibilities mostly involve traveling to act as a representative of the Vatican for diplomatic purposes.[/indent] ​ [h3]Holy Fire - The Light of God[/h3][hr] [Indent]Julius primarily uses [i]The Light of God[/i], colloquially known as Holy fire, a potent type of magic taught to high ranking mages within the Roman Catholic Church. Like traditional Fire Magic it is quite versatile, with a wide range of applications and capabilities. In addition to the normal traits of the fire though, the infusion of divine energy further strengthens the flames, particularly against demonic or inhuman entities, and makes them much more difficult to extinguish. Julius uses scripture as the specific catalyst for evoking his magic, which is the most common method although other lesser known options do exist. By reciting specific scriptures he can summon different manifestations of Holy Fire, each with its own intended use.[/indent] [sub][b]Magical Items[/b][/sub] [indent][list] [*][b]The Rope of Judas[/b] - Julius is in possession of the original [i]Rope of Judas[/i]. It is an immensely powerful magical artifact which absolves the user of any and all sin. [*][b]Walking Church[/b] - Julius' entire outfit comprises a high level [i]Walking Church[/i] which also incorporates the [i]Rope of Judas[/i] into its design. It's exact function, however is a complete mystery, known only to Julius and a few other high ranking members of the Roman Catholic Church[/list][/indent] [sub][b]Expertise[/b][/sub] [indent][list] [*][b]Religious Studies[/b] - Julius' Knowledge of Scripture and the Catholic faith is second to none, even among those at the Vatican. He has committed the entire text of the bible to memory, and he can turn almost any event or topic into a teachable sermon. In addition to his wealth of knowledge about Catholicism, he is also fairly well versed on all other major sects of Christianity, as well as the other major world faiths. [*][b]Hand to Hand Combat[/b] - As a high ranking member of the Catholic Church, Julius would naturally be a prime target for its enemies, especially considering the fact that he spends most of his time abroad. To this end, he has been taught a large amount of various hand to hand combat skills from various martial arts. He is by no means a master, but he can easily hold his own in a barehanded fight. [*][b]Charisma[/b] - Julius has a natural talent for charisma and diplomacy, even despite the slight sense of unease he seems to give people. After talking for just a few minutes, his calm and polite demeanor puts almost everyone at ease, and allows them to open up to him.[/list][/indent] [h3]Relationships[/h3][hr] [sub][b]Family[/b][/sub] [indent]Unknown[/indent] [sub][b]Organisations[/b][/sub] [indent]Julius is unwavering in his loyalties to the Roman Catholic Church and to his duties as one of its priests.
