[hider=Bailey Hart] [color=fff200]Appearance[/color]: [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/Portrait_of_Dominique_Lacordaire.jpg]Hart[/url] [color=fff200]Name[/color]: Bailey Hart [color=fff200]Age[/color]: 32 [color=fff200]Race[/color]: Human. [color=fff200]Personality[/color]: Bailey Hart has one defining characteristic and that he’s very nice. Anyone that meets him would quickly understand that Hart is a gentle person. There is also the fact that Hart has a big dislike for any kind of violence. “We’re civilized people, not thugs or criminals,” as commented by Hart himself. Of course, if his hand is forced then Hart will use force as a means to end injustice. Mother was killed by heretics, and so Hart will not repeat the same mistakes. Hart is very egalitarian as well, seeing no other race as inferior or superior to each other. Bailey never likes to see others in pain and will seek out to heal or aid them in any way, if it is his enemy, “I am the child of the Mother, and all are equal under her eyes.” [color=fff200]Backstory[/color]: Bailey Hart, also known as Father Shepard, has no memory or knowledge of his own parents or where he was born. He only remembers being dropped off at the doorsteps of a small Iuduns church, called Eplon, belonging to the House of Paupers within the Dreisal district (known as the poorest area in the Lesser Kingdoms of Asgard.) Growing up within the Eplon Church, Hart was well taken care of, and more importantly was educated in the humanities, theology, and maths. A very rare and lucky person Hart was for such a privilege, given how poor Dreisal was. Not surprisingly, Bailey quickly gained a strong moral-compass rooted in egalitarianism because of his education and life in the Eplon Church, combined with the fact that the church was also a-part of the House of Paupers. Early on, around the age of 10, Hart was “gifted” the task of aiding book-keepers in handling inventory. For one reason or another - likely the fact that Hart developed a talent for logistical work over time - stayed at his post, promoted to higher positions over the course of his life. While at Eplon Church, Hart was given a quick course in combat for the shake of more security since the Dreisal district was known to house a lot of bandits and unsavory peoples. And so, Hart was transfer to the Warrior Caste for a year or so to learn about combat. More specifically, he was trained in the usage of pistols and melee weapons. After the year was up, Hart was transferred back to his normal duties. The Eplon Church did all forms of humanitarian efforts in the Dreisal district, and were a part of a bigger series of different churches that were affiliated with the House of Paupers. By the age of 23, Bailey Hart had his work cut out for him, managing the vast inventory of supply used for feeding, clothing, and aiding the poor. Humanitarian charity was the normal ordeal for the Eplon Church, and Hart was very happy. Bailey felt that he was doing Mother’s work, and his good deeds have gained Bailey Hart good reputation among his co-workers and wider district among many others, especially the poor. What else could Hart ask for in life? Well, of course, this is not the end of the man’s story. This is merely the start of it. Later in life, Hart relocated to the Tyberian port city, more or less to aid the urban poor and to explore the world a bit more. While in Tyber, Hart got wind of alleged corruption from the House of Paupers but never did any heavy research into the subject, too busy to do so. Co-siding, a new political ideology was getting massive popularity among the workers and urban poor called Socialism. At first, Hart became a simple detractor of it. Too radical for him to fully adopt, but as Hart spent more and more time with the poor and average worker, he became more understanding on why it was so popular, and soon became a decent supporter for Socialism because its values and beliefs aligned well with his Iuduns faith. Time went on and Hart became dissatisfied with the House, feeling that they were not really fixing any of the issues of poverty, and instead just provided short-term solutions. Not only that, Hart became sympathetic with the Tyberian cause, soon becoming quite the anti-imperialist and advocated for self-determination. Because of Hart’s association with politics and more so with a rising new radical ideology, Hart was forced out of the House of Paupers. Of course, Hart’s work is yet done. Hart started to stage peaceful protests against the occupation of Tyberia. At first, Hart was more peaceful and wanted to do things in non-violent ways. In a short time, Hart realized that the second revolution of the city would not be peaceful, evidenced by the increasing violence displayed in street protests and battles between the citizens and occupation force. Without any other choice, and angered by the fact that he is forced to commit violence against his fellow men and women, Hart has taken a more “liberal” approach to the Asgard question. [i]There will be no mercy for those who impose injustice on the helpless and poor.[/i] *Iuduns is a faith based on a woman, who’s name has been lost to time, instead is just called Mother. She is largely based on legend and myth as she is dated back some 20 centuries ago, and any detail on her is merely just guesswork with what text or lore there is. The basis of the faith is very egalitarian and sees power and wealth as absolute corrupting powers. Instead, a person can find true faith and spirit in the easing of pain of the suffering and aiding those less fortunate than you. If one stays true to that then one can ascend beyond and gain higher knowledge and understanding in the world from the acts of good. [color=fff200]Skills and Abilities[/color]: [color=f26522]Legendary Theology[/color] - “Faith is the strongest tool and weapon in the arsenal of men and women. For when there is God on your side, there is nothing that you can’t do in pursuit of justice against evil. I have combed through almost every piece of text and lore in pursuit of unearthing the truth of Mother and the higher powers above. For I am the servant of Mother and her justice.” [color=f26522]Master Logistician[/color] - “My time in the Eplon Church and elsewhere has given me great talents in managing the transportation of goods and keeping stock of inventory, along with the proper protocols and procedures on how to properly handle issues and mistakes that might arise from the complex nature of moving bread from field to storage.” (Likely would not be used often, but it's there if it ever comes in handy). [color=f26522]Accomplished Politics[/color] - “For when the House of Paupers abandoned me, I felt betrayed. There, I understood that higher moral ideals did not appeal to them. I forged my own path, one infused with the faith of Mother and one with the ideals of a worker revolution.” [color=f26522]Adept Pistolier[/color] : “I am a man of peace, but the reality of the world forces my hand to do otherwise. If those who wish to impose injustice by violence will not lay down their arms, then I will forcefully remove their arms for them.” [color=f26522]Adept Mace User[/color] : “Bash the heretics and heathens to death, if you have no bullets.” [color=fff200]Equipment[/color]: Ballistic revolver and mace.
