Appearance: Arien is an African-American, at a good 6’0 high. He’s proud of his religion and wears a Benediction Crucifix around his neck at all time. He believes that it wards evil spirits away from him.. He also has the Blessed Virgin tattooed to side of his right calf, and is clearly visible when he wears shorts.
Personality: Arian is always smiling. He loves Christ and it shows with every word and movement of his body. There seems to be this constant glow from him. He rarely looses his temper, but when he does he’s usually very cold, and passive aggressive.
Special abilities/talents: Arien is the drummer in a band formed by the Diocese of Fargo. The band itself doesn’t have a name, but when he’s called to play for various events he’ll show up. Being a shaman he has the ability to connect to the spirit world as if it was second nature to him.
Supernatural Affinity: Shaman Species/Group: Human Power(s): Basic shaman abilities of healing physically, moderate spiritual healing. Level: (if applicable) Moderate Affiliation/Rank:(if applicable) Lawful Good Preferred Prey: (if applicable) Haunted Houses, the possessed. He’d never take a demon on directly, but if someone is possessed by one he’d gladly do what he could in his power to rid the person of their parasite.
History: Arien is the only child of his two parents. He born and raised in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota and attended the public school system there. Once out of high school he attended Lake Region State College studying Jewish History before going to Cardinal Muench Seminary, in Fargo to study to become a Catholic Priest.
Ever since he was young, he knew that he had abilities that other people did not. He would see things, people that people didn’t see. He would hear voices that other people could not hear. When he was fifteen, he started exploring his religion deeper in order to understand it. While at a retreat during his first year in college, one of his fellow retreatents seemed to be posses by an evil spirit. He had witnessed the priests at the retreat do an exorcism, and that’s when he realized his true calling was to become a priest and be able to banish these spirits from the good people of the world.
After two years in seminary college, he was assigned to St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Mysteria, North Dakota to work under the head priest there. Instantly arrive into the town, he could feel the presence of the supernatural, both good and evil. He knew this was his calling.
Flaws: (must be at least three flaws)Don't just list the flaws but describe how they affect the character.
Arien can be pretty intolerant of anything related to the Occult. This comes from a strong belief that when people reach into the spiritual world without the teachings and guidance of the Church, they don’t know what they’re doing. Thus, this leaves room for evil spirits to effect the person.
He has a God-complex about himself.. He believes that nothing is stronger than the power of his prayers and that there is nothing in this world being it Satan himself that can over come it.
This leads him to believe in the over-confidence of his religion, and that there is no other possibility out there.
Merits: Don't just list the merits but describe how they affect the character. Concentration, Arien is able to focus completely on the task at hand. This will come in handy once he’s ordained and begins his exorcism ordeals.
There is a foul taste to his blood. This mostly has to do with the amount of time he spends trying to be has holy as he deems possible.
Even if Arien doesn’t like you, you can depend on him for just about anything. No matter what path people choose, all are part of the Body of Christ and should be loved as such. If you’re in a pinch he’ll be there to get you out, especially if it concerns the stability of your soul.
