Angelus Victus Arren

Elder Angelus Victus Arren

Angelus would be angry, she thought. But he always seemed a little angry. There wasn't much that made him happy; certainly not her and her many failings. She didn't meditate well enough, or read long enough, she was too enthusiastic about everything, really anything she did was wrong to him. He was probably right. She sucked in a shuddering breath, staring into the impossibly blue sky. The mountain air was crisp and she blamed it for the tears in her eyes.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

He is tall, wiry, and fast. His movements are fast and flowing, almost like the wind, and he is surprisingly powerful.

Body Features

He is quite pale, and very thin. But his thinness conceals considerable lean muscle.

Facial Features

His face is quite narrow, with a prominent chin, and delicate looking nose. His eyes are a little small, and his slanted eyebrows give them an aura of suspicion. Altogether his features might be described as severe.

Identifying Characteristics

He has monastic tattoos on his arms and body. They are done in black ink.

Physical quirks

His shoulders stoop a little, but he walks quickly and purposefully. His posture radiates purpose, and a willingness to push obstacles from his path.

Special abilities

His monastic training has given him exceptional reflexes and speed. He can move faster than a normal person can follow, and is capable of superhuman feats of strength and agility.

Apparel & Accessories

He wears grey and brown robes over baggy pants and a loose-fitting shirt. He almost always wears a steel-grey hood that hides his face.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

He was born the third son of the Arren family, and showed interest in the monastery at a young age. His parents sent him there to study, and he ultimately joined the monks. His life was dedicated to finding the lost secret of the Order. His search led him far and wide, and occasionally away from the principles of the order. He had just returned from an extended excursion before the Order's destruction in 3179, and remains missing following the tragedy.

Gender Identity

Male

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Education

He was trained extensively by the monks, learning academic discipline and marital discipline.

Employment

He spent his life in service of the Order of Blackrock

Failures & Embarrassments

He has broken with the order's ways occasionally throughout his travels, and he regrets each break. He particularly resents those breaks which leave physical evidence.

Intellectual Characteristics

He is intelligent, driven, and ruthless. However, he hides his ruthless nature behind the dogmatism of non-attachment.

Morality & Philosophy

His philosophy is highly utilitarian. He will justify actions that many of his fellow monks would decry in the name of results.

Taboos

He has taken the orders vows of chastity and physical disavowal, which he holds close, though he has not obeyed them perfectly.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He wishes to discover the original purpose of the Order of Blackrock, and in the process becomes embroiled in a web of ancient secrets.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

He is very intellectually sharp, and brutal in a fight. However in situations involving emotions he is lacking.

Social

Contacts & Relations

He has many contacts throughout the Ironlands from his travels.

Family Ties

He has turned his back on his family in favor of the Order. There has been no communication between them in years.

Religious Views

He believes strongly in emptying himself of physical connection or needs. Whatever was at the root of the Order plagues him, and it has become his driving force. Sometimes other obligations get in the way, of course.

Social Aptitude

He is direct, and will not ask something more than twice. Charisma means little to him, but he would rather avoid fights.

Speech

He speaks coldly and directly, betraying little. There is little imprecision in his manner.
