“

If thou is truly of faith in the one true Demiurge, bend thy flesh, bend thy soul, and bend thy head to be cut free from the folly of your body. For a heretic without a dome riddled with malice is one who cannot spew their feeble falsehoods into the mind of one who is truly found in his God.

Summary

Geiteskranken Priester among the realms of Asterisks is labeled The Devout. He is a priest of a radical branch of Gnosticism, focusing on an enigmatic deity that seemingly bears no other name than Demiurge/. Blessing its faithful with all manner of twisted miracles.

He acts as a major antagonistic force of EMPIRE, despite never directly confronting Verbotenes Wissen. Only gaining a glimpse of his adversary through the remnants of his escapades until their confrontation.

History

On the demise of the reigning sun over the realm, the night came to its usurp in its throne. Upon the earth laid a youth enthralled in the salvation of his god, fetal on the ground. His mind wet with spirituality and tongue fed with the scriptures of the Demiurge's word. In minor moments the land had turned void of light, and the theistic youth's hunched over . Time stood stalwart and the devout pleaded for his lord's next mandates. He sought true tribulation beyond mere a prayer, he wanted to hear his god speak.

The youth's demands fell to noise in the wind's arid grasp. The only other words said were by nature, as a flight of loose leaves responded to Priester's wails. Once more, he behest to be graced with the holy tune of his god's vocals. And once more, his deaf deity never uttered from the heavens. The court of consciousness becoming ready to take session. A follower transformed to judge, and a god demeaned to the stature of the accused, with faith as the case's feeble jury.

Hours slid away from Geiteskranken, as accusations and questions of belief with the mid of night ripe with the pleas of a disillusioned soul. Stress building and confounding in itself as he sought to have his faith made fact. The argumentation grew lopsided with a single voice piercing and another merely disregarding its notions and attacks. But only one held the burden of their wounds, as liquid sorrow of his tears rode down the creases of the Priester's newly aged face. And without word a seemingly fictitious deity won.

Weep did Priester, his devotion at the cost of intellect, and his intellect at the cost of happiness. With a parting breath, Geiteskranken stood without bearing the weighty cross of religion and marched forth to an uncertain and dire destiny. But hark did the skies with immediate action in the sight of a situation. A radical radiance engulfed the scene, razing the shadows that laid in its place and forth came a voice rich with hope and benevolence.

Priester in momentous wonder set his eyes skyward and stopped his facial flood with a sudden spark of hope that ignited within his soul. Resting upon his facade was a ray of blessing. And with great anticipation spoke this figure of divinity with voce viva equal to that of grandiose melody:

"Pass forward my truth."

Life had been baptized with a new and grand, yet odd, purpose. Though drunk off the angelic alcohol Priester had drank the now Devout would not lessen the blissful beauty he had been witness to. Setting a course for the world, all would be the same witness as Priester to the word of his new found god.

Appearance

Geiteskranken claims the form of a rather aged individual, ransacked with the disease that afflicts all of mortal kind, age. Despite bearing feeble bones, he is clayed with muscle - Carrying a significant amount of bulk to his bod. The flesh cloaking such muscle and sinew are sprawled with insignificant cicatrix. Adorning his skin like organic ornaments. Peer deep in the sickly (eye)sockets of Priester, for his pupils are an ashen gold in hue. Ripe with the illusions of a past brim of riches and silver, an age long subsided and reduced to mere tragic myth.

An innumerable amount of religious iconography is muddled across the reaches of his withered body. Symbols of theological iconography are plastered upon his brittle tissue by the heated hatred of a branding iron. To adorning his form with purity seals that pierce the foundations of his flesh. Reflecting his truly holy stature among the supposedly heretical populous of Asterisks' lands. Time has rid Priester of the brown locks that he once wore atop his scalp; A dome blessed with a pale shine by the suns glimmering kiss remaining in its place.

When called by conflict's cry, Geiteskranken blankets himself with a fearsome panoply, despoiled of it's luster and radiance it once held from various expeditions and crusades of expunging the realm of the sinful. Such a dour pieces of refined iron was birthed into existence by it's cultivation in Alteka's dreaded peaks. Every pick at the living mountain's form loosening and letting free a piece of itself, and a scream from its immobile mass; As if in denial of its being, being harvested and hoisted away to be reshaped.

Staining the iron flesh of Priester's carapace are numerous incantations and holy doctrines engraved deep in the wraith-mails metallic brawn, for Priester to recite his deity's scripture no matter the location. His cranium is clutched tight by a steel band that grasps around the seams of his head. Constricting the flesh that lay beneath, as if an act of penance in its wearing alone. But still ever present are the heretical wails of the heathens who strayed from the path granted by the Demiurge, clinging to their zealous slaughterer in an attempt to drive him mad; No matter the punishment he self imposes.

Personality

Devotion is a simple notion, all men who commit shall receive but will falter and diverge to fulfill their sinful desires and pleasures. Those willing to set aside their mortal wants will truly be granted passage to truly wondrous recompense, or so they so demand. But only those who willing to rid themselves of a brain for divinity are lost in an ever transforming maze of cultic mania. Inevitably losing tranquility in their thought. Their sanity scarified to a 'god' that brings a vague voice of hope to their sullen sacks of a mind. Lacking any measure of self worth to raise themselves beyond the shackles of their sorrow. Geiteskranken Priester, is such a man. Actively deceiving himself in order to clench and keep what little dignity he bears.

Ruminated through thousands of realms across the plane of Asterisks, the name of Geiteskranken bears the weight of calling upon the name of a dignified ruler, a grandiose prophet spitting the truth. But to those who bear split mind and clear sight are all too capable of deciphering the simple locket that is this false theologian. Each taunting and teasing Priester with the true facade of his god - Though has proven to be an idea all to blind to be viewed by Priester that slowly seeps into reality with every encounter.

Like a festering cyst does the religious zeal of The Devout taint the lands of Asterisks. With infectious scriptures of composed of woeful wisdom as he carols the sheep who have masked themselves as being pious people. Priester acting as their equally ignorant pastor through a field laced with crops of falsehoods and hexes, hidden under the flesh of miracles and supreme truths.

Beneath the guard of a rigid theist with absolute belief in his deity, lay an individual crippled with the symptoms of an almost parasitic reliance on a god he himself bears doubt holds any legitimacy. Hardships undertaken by Priester are cast under the delusion of dedication to the Demiurge. Willfully deaf and mute of his god's seeming indulgence in his pain as Priester anguishes to appease his deity with his own blood and flesh to be loved or recognized by him. Though always proves to never be enough to gain his graces or audience no matter how lowly he sets himself.

To the denizens of the Asterisks he is an all encompassing giver, an individual of complete righteousness and selflessness. To the Elder Fiends he is a specimen all too ripe to be truly blessed with enlightenment, but hold fear of what already has taken claim on the preacher of deception in the Demiurge. To himself, he is a man seeking reasons to not collapse on the cold earth and waste away into oblivion. With the number of excuses growing to be less and less with every passing trial the Demiurge sets.

• Blessing of the Demiurge: Through numerous trials and tribulations (With yet more to come) that tested the mental and physical fortitude of the People's Prophet, the deity of Priester laid the gifts of immense might in his recesses of his body.

• Holy Manipulation: From the epoch of priesthood Geiteskranken has been granted to the ability to usher salvation through the very use of his own palms to the inhabitants of Asterisks.

• Literia Diaboloc: Bagged along the countryside is a book enthralled in arcane mysticism. Every one of its pages bearing insight into the vital fundamentals of witchcraft and wizardry. Few gaze at the diabolic dialectic writhed on the vellum, fearing damnation for the very act of skimming through it.
