Name: Linus Carpenter
Appearance: Linus is a brown-skinned, brown-eyed young man with curly head hair that would be thick if not for constant grooming (which would be offscreen in the RP), as well as a smooth, unbearded, and perpetually boyish heart-shaped face with thin lips, unlike his father. His build is tall and healthy, with thin but well-muscled and athletic limbs, as well as calloused palms that contrast with the otherwise smooth hairless skin. His favorite clothing is modern wear; a tough T-shirt and jeans over which is worn a Carpenter's apron, and of course, tough combat boots underneath.
Age: 2000, but appears 18.
Species: Human and Divine.
Gender: Male
Personality: Linus, being born from blood, tears, and earth, used to feel distant from humanity, but has grown to love them, due to his long centuries of experience. However, despite said long centuries, he still hasn't grown out of adolescent rebelliousness, and although loyal to his family and their cause, is a bit harsh towards their Earthly followers, with the Catholic Church, despite being his main allies, getting the brunt of his annoyance, due to their acquisition of money and power and certain...interpretations of the holy writings.
Linus is also Openly Bi.
Bio: Linus was born, fully formed, clad in a white robe, from the blood of Yeshua bin Yosef, mixed with the tears of Mary Magdalene at Golgotha. However, his emergence into the world was overlooked because of the great events that happened some days later - at the same time that the Ressurection happened, Linus was already wandering upwards to Syria and Asia Minor, seeking answers to the question of his existence. Several years later, he reemerged in Greece, at the city of Corinth, where he was part of the fellowship of
Priscilla and Aquilla in the early Christian Church, before leaving to wander east, towards Parthia/Persia and India, finally reaching China a century or two later, where he fought with Sun Quan and the Kingdoms of Shu and Wu in the Battle of Red Cliff.
He stayed in China for a few centuries more, then, after hearing rumors of what happened to his family's Church in Europe, raced back there, taking several decades to reach the region, where the Western Roman Empire had fallen and the East was in dire straits. Apparently, Judaism had split into three religions, each claiming to be the true voice of his Grandfather, and which were warring with Polytheists and Zororastrians and Machineans. Each of the religions had their own merits - and that's all he would say about that - but he was rather annoyed with the successors of Priscilla and Aquilla, the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, who despite praising Priscilla as a Saint, completely and utterly forgot that she was a female leader as well, one who held power over men even after 1 Timothy was written.
Swallowing his irritation at this, he put himself in the service of the Catholics, doing charitable jobs for the Church and fighting bandits, sometimes non-lethally, sometimes not; he wasn't his father. That said, though, another source of his anger were the rumors that his mother was a prostitute, but that was dealt with by a pact with the Church - they would stop spreading those rumors, in exchange, and this was
also to keep the balance of power in Europe - he would bestow the Church's Holy Relics with the largest portion of his power, reducing him to the level of a 'supernaturally-gifted human'. This later turned out to be a mistake, as this resulted in the Western Nations spree of colonization and imperialism throughout the world, which only ended in World War II, where he aided the Allies in taking back the Spear of Destiny from the Nazis.
After this, Linus would abandon Humanity for a while until 2016, only to find himself regretting things as the religious scene had degraded in his absence. But before he can interfere, his Grandfather gave him an errand; go to the wider Multiverse to prevent the destruction of Humanity on his earth. For, you see, terminals have already opened to Arcadia-1, the signal of a new danger to the various worlds!
Abilities:
Change Water to Wine - Wine, despite the bad rap it gets, is a natural disinfectant, and in a situation where water might be dirty and carry all manner of nasty diseases, the ability to turn water into wine means that you can turn even swamp water into something drinkable.
Loaves and Fishes - Linus takes a piece of solid food and splits it into several parts; each part then grows to the size of the original piece, increasing the overall amount of solid food. This can be done as long as Linus has energy.
Heal Sickness and Injury - Self-Explanatory; Linus can knit together wounds, regenerate lost limbs, and heal sicknesses both magical and mundane.
Exorcise - Self-Explanatory again; Linus can remove corrupting, negative, and chaotic magic from a person or small place (the size of a normal american bedroom). Note that Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes cannot be one-shotted, but they can be
contested.
Demonic/Negative Chaos Energy and Magic Immunity - Linus is completely immune from magic that has a Demonic, Negative, Chaotic or otherwise Eldritch source, especially if said source is innately corrupting/damaging to mortals. And, yes, this includes Warhammer 40k Chaos Energy. However, if he were pierced by, say, the Anatheme, his immunity to Chaos would
not protect him from being injured, and, if pierced through a vital place, being killed.
Mundane Skills:
Medicine, Carpentry (including use of hammers for combat), Linguistics, Philosophy and Theology, Charisma, Fireworks Making.
Equipment:
- Pouch of Medicinal Herbs, most of them edible so as to work with Loaves and Fishes.
