I’ve been pondering two different ideas for a potential character to write for this RP.  I’ll post drafts for both characters here, and if the concepts work for this RP with or without further revision, then I will pick the character I think will work better with the team we come up with.  For some reason I’m feeling inspired to write characters who explore religious themes (probably in part due to the fact that the premise involves fighting demons).

[b]Character #1 Draft Sheet:[/b]
[i]Name[/i]:  Amelie Dumaurie
[i]Age[/i]: 20
[i]Appearance[/i]: Amelie is a straight haired brunette who stands at just under six feet and has a rather willowy build.  Her exact apparel will depend on what's available, but she prefers to dress conservatively.  
[i]Background[/i]:  Amelie is a third generation French American from a staunchly Catholic family.  She went to a Catholic private school growing up, and she found that her passion in life was to try to prove that her faith was the one true faith despite what anyone else would be inclined to believe.  To that end, she was studying theology and history at the University of Notre Dame, with a plan of eventually getting into archeology with the hopes of participating in digs that would prove the events of the Bible to be historically accurate.  However, she was taken to Mer before she had the chance to complete her undergraduate degree, so now she finds herself preparing to become a different kind of crusader from what she was originally planning.
[i]Other Information You Want Us To Know[/i]:  I’ve found zealot characters to be painted in a rather poor light in a lot of the media I’ve consumed over the years.  Without glossing over the drawbacks of such a close-minded worldview, I’d hope to present a more balanced portrayal of religious zealot through Amelie.  I see her having a somewhat complicated view of authority, in that she would be quick to discount the authority and wisdom of those whom she disagrees with while on the other hand being too willing to turn a blind eye to the faults of those authorities whom she has chosen to give her loyalty to.  This could potentially be exploited by an authority figure who knows how to appeal to her sensibilities without revealing their dishonorable intentions.  However, in the service of a master with noble intentions, she could be a powerful force for good.
[i]Archetype/Mythic Path[/i]: Crusader Angel


[b]Character #2 Draft Sheet[/b]:
[i]Name[/i]:  Reverend Nicholas Bambrook
[i]Age[/i]:  56
[i]Appearance[/i]:  Average height, grey haired and a bit paunchy.  He typically wears suits and ties in public, but he could switch into whatever passes for bourgeois formal attire in Mer.
[i]Background[/i]:  Reverend Bambrook, during a long and not-particularly illustrious career, found himself the pastor of an aging Baptist church with an aging demographic, the kind where marriages and baby dedications are no longer happening but funerals are very much in the vogue.  Despite the words of comfort that Nicholas was uttering during such services, he found himself questioning the truth of the supposed security in the afterlife that he had been announcing.  While he continued to say what he had to in order to maintain his flock, he found himself doubting the tenants of his faith, and he began to fear death, especially once his parents passed.  And then he found himself transported to Mer, which among other things shattered the vestiges of his belief in the sovereignty and truth of the Christian god, for his bible had never suggested anything that explained the universe he now found himself in.  He has now forsaken his god and adopted the worship of a new deity, a god/goddess of death, for he now seeks the keys of eternal life, as he has no intention of dying in this blighted place.
[i]Other Information You Want Us To Know[/i]:  I see him wielding an assault rifle as his choice of weapon but otherwise wouldn't wear much armor.
[i]Archetype/Mythic Path[/i]: Ecclesithuerge Lich


I’m seeing that someone else submitted an Angel character, so I imagine I will most likely use Nicolas unless someone else also wants to write a Necromancer, in which case I suppose two angels would be better than two necromancers, and I could adjust Amelie to be more of a spell caster.
