Leidend

Caretaker of Nul, Punisher of the Damned (a.k.a. Wretchbearer)

Divine Domains

The Souls of the Damned, Suffering and Punishment

Divine Symbols & Sigils

A simplified version of their six-armed cross/hooks

Divine Goals & Aspirations

To deliver the dregs of mortalkind to Nul, who will punish them as they deserve. Treats Nul like a dangerous beast in a zoo; feeding her, acting as her caretaker.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A veritable giant, even among gods; Incredibly tall, with long limbs, but muscular and slightly warped. Bent from years of service. Skin appears ashy, flayed in many places, exposing the musculature underneath.

Facial Features

Hooks and cuts stretching their mouth into a permanent "smile", upper face stitched over with thick burlap, a white light shining from within, where the eyes would be.

Physical quirks

Permanently slouched with the weight of their cross, hooks from it stabbed into their body at various points to keep it stable.

Apparel & Accessories

Carries a massive, six-armed cross on their back, with chain-bound hooks at the end of each arm. The souls of the worst beings imaginable are held on these hooks to be transported to Nul, living prison for the damned. Additional chains and hooks hold the cross to their body, preventing it from moving around, or from being removed.   Wears a skirt/smock of treated leather. Easier to clean.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Formed of the souls of men, women, and other beings who suffered at the hands of some of the world's worst beings in ages past, Wretchbearer ascended to godhood with a singular purpose: See to it that those who caused them such pain felt it in return. They were tasked with delivering the souls of these people to Nul, the living personification of hatred, misery, and suffering.

Gender Identity

The Entire Spectrum

Sexuality

All and None

Mental Trauma

Eternally compelled to seek vengeance, and suffers terribly when there are no souls to gather and deliver to Nul, feeling as though lesser villains are slipping through their fingers. By their own standards, much of the world's population deserves Nul's 'treatment'.

Morality & Philosophy

By the estimations of most beings, Wretchbearer has gone well beyond righteous anger into the realm of wrath and delusion. They have been consumed by their desire for vengeance and punishment, becoming twisted by it into something almost wholly evil.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

The damned must be punished; they cannot be allowed to roam the world and cause greater suffering even in death. Nul must be appeased.

Personality Quirks

'Looks' at things with their ears, as due to their mask, they are theoretically - though not literally - blind.

Hygiene

Obsessively wipes the blood and viscera from their hooks and chains. The cleaner they are, the longer it's been since they made a delivery.

Social

Speech

Speaks solely in an amalgamation of the screams and hideous laughter of dozens of suffering souls. They are inherently understood by those they speak to, despite not speaking a single discernible word.
