Exorcist
In a land full of dangers from the Abyss and the Nine Hells, fear is a common thing for a mortal to feel but some mortals grow tired of fear and choose to stand up and protect others against these dark entities. These mortals are called Guardians. Some however are so fanatic about destroying all of these abominations that threaten the mortal world that they embrace dark and forbidden power. They are so obsessed that they will even use these dark forces to hunt their kind. These folks are called Exorcist.
Fanatic hunters
Exorcists are individuals with the ability to combat and control Demons and Devils. Their deep knowledge of these abominations allows them an advantage in tracking, hunting and destroying even the most powerful demons and devils. They trained with deadly weapons even blood magic and others go further by binding these unholy creatures and use them as a weapon in ending these dark forces. Some Exorcists push too far and fall to their own demise and become the being that they swore to destroy.
Vengeance Seeker
Almost all Exorcists’ reasons for joining the order is because they all have been a victim of a demon or devils’ slaughtering and torture. Some are people trying to make a cause for the common folk and others just want the power of being an exorcist. Common folk consider them as heroes for avenging their families while nobles see them as a nuisance but some see them as an occasional convenience. Exorcist has strict vows from the Theocracy lead by the Arch Pope that they must obey that tends them to be lawful.
Creating an Exorcist
As you create an exorcist, keep in mind on why he joins the theocracy and why he wants to hunt demons and devils. Do they want to take vengeance for the hardship that the demon/devil inflicted? Do they want to protect people who can’t protect themselves? Or they just want the power of being an exorcist? Have you been traveling alone or with a partner? If you do have a partner what happen? Why did you part ways? If you’re traveling alone why did you choose to travel alone? Conflict with the higher officials? Exiled? Perhaps you are given a secret mission that you can’t tell anybody.
