[b][color=A2E4B8]Name[/color]:[/b] Ceft Michaels

[b][color=A2E4B8]Setting(s)[/color]:[/b] Most Fantasy settings that Lesua is allowed in; as an NPC or otherwise

[b][color=A2E4B8]Gender[/color]:[/b] ♂

[b][color=A2E4B8]Age[/color]:[/b] 15

[b][color=A2E4B8]Ability[/color]:[/b] Ceft's body contains mild healing properties with supernatural medical adaptability. When any part of him is ingested or when any body fluid is applied directly to wounds, bleeding will gradually stop and natural healing processes accelerate. He functions as a human panacea, capable of combating almost any poison or disease and stabilizing many life-threatening conditions, assuming his ability is applied in a timely manner. While this ability does not have the same effect on himself, it seems to have at least some effect, giving him greater resistances to harmful substances and general illness.

As a side-effect, he is often described as minty.

[b][color=A2E4B8]Weaknesses/Limitations[/color]:[/b] Ceft's ability is more or less an expedited version of having a medic on hand. If you lose a limb, he can help you reattach it, but he can't help you grow it back. While his ability moves the boundary of no return, he can't save someone that is beyond saving. Furthermore, despite generally high potential potency, his ability doesn't ignore the laws of preservation of mass, and he'll need to provide more of himself when the situation calls for it. This is rather difficult to scrounge up without disfiguring himself, and performing a blood donation in the middle of a fight can cause his combat capacity to deteriorate.

[b][color=A2E4B8]Combat Equipment[/color]:[/b] As Lesua's primary bodyguard, Ceft was gifted two magic items that she made herself. Both of these objects were made to work exclusively with Ceft, becoming useless trinkets in the hands of others. The first was a weapon, to allow Ceft to protect Lesua in a fight. It takes the form of a golden cross necklace when not in use, and morphs into one of four different weapons, enlarging itself in the process, depending on how it is held when activated. Held from the bottom, it becomes a scythe, with a blade seemingly formed out of solid light appearing along one of the cross' short ends as the handle elongates. Held from either side, it will become either a handgun or a tonfa. In either of these two forms, it is capable of splitting into two, each the same size as the original. The handguns will fire bullets seemingly made out of light. The last form, when held from the top, will turn the cross into an ornate longsword, with short blue ornamental tassles on the hilt and crossguard. Despite the mystique of a shapeshifting holy weapon, all four forms only have mundane properties, besides the endless ammo supply of the handguns.

The second gift was a halo. A rather curious object, it seems to ignore gravity only when placed above Ceft's head. When worn and its activation is willed, wings of pure light will sprout behind Ceft's back. They appear to be mere decoration, because instead of flapping, they jostle themselves at best, and don't even connect to Ceft's body at all. Despite this, they still enable Ceft to levitate/fly while they are active, and have impressive maneuverability and respectable speed. They were given to him because his lack of innate mobility was seen as a problem. As Lesua's bodyguard, he was told that it was expected of him to always be able to fly to her rescue.

[b][color=A2E4B8]Personality[/color]:[/b] Ceft has a tendency to get nervous in mundane situations. He's rather shy, unable to speak his mind, and is often pretty easy to boss around. He's the chivalrous type, and isn't afraid to jump to the aid of those he feels need defending, though he's also deeply loyal to Lesua, and can easily take drastic action if she commands it, putting his life on the line and/or showing no mercy without a second thought.

[b][color=A2E4B8]History[/color]:[/b] Ceft is the youngest priest of the church of Lesua, a cult formed around a girl his age that his parents had joined shortly before meeting an untimely demise. Ceft was orphaned until Lesua declared that the church itself would take care of him, which mostly meant that he lives in the apartment across from Lesua's. Lesua's own ability inflicts her with megalomaniacal episodes, which were what caused her to form the church in the first place, but she is otherwise an ordinary albeit unsociable girl, and thus Ceft has developed a crush on her. Since Lesua lacks most of her powers outside of her episodes, he was assigned as her bodyguard because of his ability, (by her, to her dismay) and they've since become good friends, spending most of their time together on account of their entanglement with the church, status as independent orphans living across each other, and general avoidance of educational institutions. They even have keys to each other's apartments. Given that his home, his food, and the very clothes he wears are all paid for by the church, that Lesua saved him in his darkest hour, he can't help but feel that he owes Lesua for taking care of him for so long, and tries to repay the favor whenever he can.

Ceft, as per Lesua's request, tries to steer her towards humanitarianism during episodes or protect people from her wrath when he is able, though when it comes down to it, he will never go against her or refuse her direct commands. He has killed people for her, and is prepared to continue doing so, deeming her more important than his moral preferences.
