Pater Dougal Geoffrey

From Egs Mayhem

By nokvok

Name: Pater Dougal Geoffrey
Age: Appears around 25 (might be 35 to 40, he claims to have forgotten)
Race: Undead
Weapon: A Winchester. Many small, very very sharp glass throwing knifes. A thick, glass mace.
He is good with the knifes and the Winchester is accurate enough to let him score most normal hits after careful aiming. He is very good with the mace, seeing how his slow speed does not apply mali here.

Power: He can mold sand into glass. This has touch range and does not create any heat. In his Undead state only following techniques remained. He was very powerful in his previous life.
- Shard: He forms a small to medium sized object of glass. A throwing knife, a lens, etc. Is pretty effortless and takes 1 second for small things up to 10 seconds for mace-sized things.
- Wall: He forms a solid wall right in front of him (or to the side or behind) to block small calibers, knifes, stones etc. Fast or heavy bullets shatter the wall, but loose most of their lethality. Explosives actually gain lethality by adding shrapnels. This takes a lot of effort, but is quick enough to be used as active block. He usually only does this once or twice in a battle. Only works when standing on Sand!
- Spikes: He can create small, very pointy shards in a radius of around 1 yards around him. Those spikes easily pierce shoes and feet, crack and cause ugly wounds. Works instantly and takes medium effort, though it barely works more than 1-2 times before the surprise moment is gone anyways. Only works on Sand, too.

Career: Priest.
Goal: Salvation for the Sinners.
Appearance: Tall, thin, but very sinewy Undead with palish, gray skin. He wears black. Not a priest robe, merely the white collar. A big, black, priesty hat is shading his long, sharp face and tinted glasses hide his eyes. Which are a bloody red. The winchester hangs from his back, but is packed in leather. The knifes are all hid under his long cloak, as is the mace, though latter often sparkles and shines in the sun when the cloak is moved by the wind. He never takes off his hat... in fact it seems to be kind of fused to his head. He wears thick gloves which are torn and battered with many tiny cuts.

Personality: The Pater is a truly religious man, but not a pacifist. He will fight if innocents are in danger, and preach from Hell and Heaven. He took his life after death as mission from god and there are few things aggravating him more than other undead who do not value their gifts. Especially the mindless ones are his favorite object of purification. He is a stubborn, yet patient man. If he can't convince someone, he won't push it, but he surely will try over and over again, over years if he deems it worthy. Money means not much to him, he doesn't need it, but he likes to collect it to give it to the poor.

Backstory: Once the Priest of a small town, he had to witness the inhabitants being mostly annihilated by a horde of Bandits. Despite the Pater's powers, which were much more powerful back in the days, only a few survived, and they tried to reach the next town. They run into a region were undead reigned, and most got infected, died and rose again. Those who didn't get infected got torn apart by their insane friends. When the Pater caught up to the group (he stayed at the town to bury the dead folks and bandits) He took it upon himself to liberate the suffering insane undeads from their pain, burying them all in the sand. He however got infected, too and died shortly after... however he retained his sanity.
Ever since, he wanders the land, preaching to the people, fighting the Undead and trying to bring redemption to the sinners. His appearance in the Lemansy Territory and Edge City appears to be rather random.
