YES I AM STILL PLANNING TO APP THIS GUY YOU CAN'T ESCAPE HIM i just missed the previous app window on account of being a doof
CHARACTER: Father Ignatius CANON: Emberverse
AU NAME: Karl Bergfried AU AGE: 26 AU OCCUPATION: Priest at the main local Catholic church BLURB: mostly copypasta'd from the January thread l-lol - Fresh-faced 20-something Roman Catholic priest straight out of seminary - New junior parish priest at main Catholic church in town - Approximately the chillest priest on God's green earth, to the point of it being actually infuriating - Like maybe if you stripped naked and had a gay wiccan moon orgy right in front of him he would cough and politely avert his eyes, but short of that he is pretty unfazeable - Never considered himself much of an evangelist so usually doesn't even try, is happy to have a nice philosophical conversation about metaphysics and the nature of divinity with you though - Born and raised just east of Salem, Oregon, hung out on his grandfather's farm in the Cascade foothills a lot as a kid - Said grandfather was a Vietnam vet who came back from the war with a wife, making Karl 1/4 Vietnamese - Secretly-not-secretly a massive nerd, totally would have been an engineer if not for his vocation, used to build trebuchets with his buddies for fun - Hung out in the LARP/battle gaming and ren faire scene in high school and college, may or may not have been to a couple of SCA-type events, may or may not have gone by the persona of Father Ignatius, Knight-Brother of the Order of the Shield of Saint Benedict - Did in fact end up attending the Benedictine monastery at Mount Angel for seminary, had friends who were postulants but he ended up going the diocesan priest route instead - Despite being technically a "millennial" never used to pay a lot of attention to social media or computers or all of that, it just never held his interest for some reason cough previous life on a post-tech apocalypse earth cough
LOOKING FOR: Parishioners and confessors always!! Plus anyone else who might be spending a lot of time in the Worship Quarter who he can have met at interfaith events or just while out running or something. He moved to Recolle this past November-ish so old friends and acquaintances are unlikely unless somebody's background includes spending time in western Oregon, although I am super open to the idea of him having relatives who live in town (cousins or such.) I do want to get him back into some of his old nerd hobbies for potential memory triggers, so if anyone wants to plan in-game meetups in that vein I am all for it! Also I wasn't kidding in the last TDM, I really do want to do a dopey little plotline where he finds a new caterer for the church's Sunday morning coffee & donuts mass reception brunch thing.
