He has deep-set, double-lidded, almond-shaped dark brown eyes that make him appear as if he is constantly fatigued, a straight, prominent nasal bridge, a long philtrum, and thin lips. — — — — — — — — — — — Father Crisóstomo's Personality. — — — — — — — — — — — 『 Weaknesses 』 ➛ Somewhat disconnected from the lower classes in Summerset. As a privileged individual, he cannot properly resonate with them emotionally because he hasn't experienced their problems before, but as an empathetic person, he has a grasp of what they're feeling or undergoing; he's just unable to understand it fully, but his curiosity and desire to learn more and fill in the gaps in his knowledge makes up for that. ➛ Before he became a high priest, he was an ill-tempered and resentful young man. Now, he is calm, composed, and maintains strict self-control, not only because of his role as a high priest, but because he knows that he must. He is genuinely fearful of his own anger. ➛ When he or someone else he's close to gets accused gets accused of an act that is very unimaginable for him or them to do, his composure slowly gets stripped away the more he gets pressured. Eventually, he becomes vocal, sharp-tongued and openly criticizes the people who dare to put blame on him or unto others who are innocent. 『 Strengths 』 ➛ An intellectual man who is exceptionally well-spoken. Before he started training to become a member of the priesthood, Father Crisóstomo studied Law and Theology in a prestigious school in Gessam, giving him the upper hand during arguments or disagreements because he is armed with the logic and factual evidence he learned when he was still a student. ➛ Deeply empathetic and understanding; his mentor's teachings also included being sensitive to the problems and needs of others. As a high priest, he believes deeply in guiding people through the darkness in their lives, guiding them back to Enthaeia to restore light to their spirits. He takes this virtue to heart very deeply. ➛ Approachable and genial, he is incredibly friendly to the townsfolk he passes by on the streets of Gessam and makes conversation with them whenever he can. ➛ Maintains both a realistic and positive outlook on life. ➛ Is a strict pacifist, and does not resort to physical violence unless he absolutely must.
— — — — — — — — — — — Father Crisóstomo's Monilerum. — — — — — — — — — — — 『 Description 』 Father Crisóstomo is in possession of the Monilerum, the only gold-engraved variant of the Comun necklaces. Carved out of ancient, dark wood into the shape of inward-curving horns that look like an inverted crescent moon, and engraved with gold. It was originally passed down as a wedding token from Enthaeia to her mortal husband Aurelio, and has traveled through successive high priests across numerous generations. Father Crisóstomo is its current holder. 『 How It Works 』 Whenever he clutches the Monilerum in his hands while praying to Enthaeia, the golden engravings inside the inverted crescent will ignite into a luminous, warm, golden yellow light that shines even through the thickest darkness, signifying that the goddess has granted his prayers for recovery. This effect strictly works only on good-hearted, selfless prayers made by a high priest. Father Crisóstomo has pledged himself never to use the Monirelum for selfish or ill-intentioned reasons, knowing that a prayer made out of ill intentions would trigger inflict a permanent curse upon him. — — — — — — — — — — — Additional Information. — — — — — — — — — — — 『 Skills 』 ➛ Can heal people with his words, combined with the Monilerum and other objects of worship. As a high priest, he cannot heal through speech alone nor the Monilerum alone; the divine energy of Enthaeia must be channeled through a physical medium such as any of the other objects of worship such as the Berula and Cartum de Bine. ➛ His healing is fueled entirely by the divine energy of Enthaeia. 『 Likes 』 ➛ Being asked about or pondering ethical and philosophical questions because they allow him to think very deeply about concepts and examine morals in a lighthearted way. ➛ Baked goods with cream. ➛ Sweet tea. 『 Dislikes 』 ➛ Hardtack. 『 Relationships 』 TBA. Will be updated when he interacts with the townspeople of Gessam. 『 Inventory 』 Items he is known to be carrying at all times: ➛ The Monilerum. ➛ The Berula. ➛ The Cartum de Bine. ➛ A golden vial of water drawn from the bottomless well in the Temple of Enthaeia. 『 Misc. 』 ➛ Father Crisóstomo owns a pet ferret given to him by his mentor on his 34th birthday. ➛ He regularly practices agape love towards everyone he meets and knows. 『 Voice Claim 』 King Alfred (The Last Kingdom) https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/ch1JO1YPzuM/ (The man with a crown.) 『 Face Claim 』 Cedrick Juan as Padre José Burgos.
