“

If thou is truly of faith in the one true Demiurge, bend thy flesh, bend thy soul, and bend thy head, for a heretic without a dome riddled with malice is one who cannot spit their feeble falsehoods into the sanctum of one who is truly faithful of his god.

„

Summary

Geiteskraken Priester among the realms of Asterisks is labeled The Devout, and is a priest of a radical branch of Gnosticism, focusing on a rather enigmatic deity that seemingly bears no other name than Demiurge that blesses the faithful with all manner of miracles.

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

History

On the demise of the reigning light and the usurpation of shade over the realm, laid a youth drenched in the salvation of his god, compos wet with spirituality and tongue fed with the scriptures of the Demiurge's breath. Voided to a hue was the reaches of the land that held pedestal to the fetal positon birthed into motion by the theist. Tempo stood stalwart and the devout pleaded for his lord's next mandates, seeking true tribulation beyond mere prayer, he wanted to hear his god speak.

Demands fell to noise in the wind's arid grasp, the only words spit were by nature claiming ear to the of the waning believer. Once more, he passaged a behest to be graced with the melodic holy tune of his god's vocals; and once more like deaf deity a response was never uttered from the heavens. Court was now in session, follower transfigured to judge and god demeaned to the stature of accused with faith as the feeble jury.

Hours slid away from the conscious of Geiteskraken, with accusations and questions of belief with the mid of nox ransacked with pleas of a delusioned soul. Lopsided in argumentation, with a single voice piercing and another merely disregarding such notions and lambastment, and only one held the burden of their meta-physical wounds. Liquid sorrow rode from the crevices of the apostate's visage, without word an fictitious deity won.

Weep did Priester, devotion at the cost of intellect, and intellect at the cost happiness. With parting breath, Geiteskraken stood without bearing the weighty cross of religion and marched forth to an uncertain and dire destiny. Hark did the skies with immediate action of such situation, a radiance seemingly engulfed the locale, razing the shade that laid in place and forth came a voice rich with hope and benevolence.

Priester in momentous operation spurred skyward to be encapsulated by his lord's word, resting upon his façade was ray of materialized blessing, and with great anticipation spoke this figure of divinity with voce viva equal to that of grandiose melody "Pass forward my word."

Appearance

Geiteskraken claims the form of a rather aged individual, ransacked with the disease that afflicts all of mortal kind, age. Despite being quite of ailed with feeble bone, he is rather clayed with muscle and bears a significant amount of bulk, the dermis cloaking such mounds of thew is spewed with insignificant cicatrixs adorning the flesh like organic embellishments. Peer deep in the sickly sockets of this elder, for his pupils bear ashen gold in hue, 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 shell. Spanning from symbols of iconic Christian theology branded upon brittle tissue with heated hatred to purity seals piercing the foundations of his flesh to reflect his truly holy stature among the heretical populous of Asterisks. Chrono has rid Priester of the brown locks he once beared abode atop his scalp, only remain a dome blessed a pale shine by the palms of the dull sphere of plasma resting amongst the clouds.

When claimed 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 dissonant layer of cultured ore was birthed into existence with it's cultivation at the dreaded peaks of Alteka. With every pick of the mount's flesh it spewed segments of it's own immobile corpse, from the gifts of the decrepit alps transmorphed did it's organic wedges into celestial essence granted abode, sanctified with divine breath and anointment

Staining the iron flesh that is steel carapace of Priester are numerous incantations and holy doctrines engraved deep in the wairth-mails metallic brawn, with the clergyman spitting his deity's scripture no matter the locus. Still ever present are the heretical wails of the heathens who strayed from the path granted by the Demiurge, clinging to their zealous assailant in attempts to drive him mad. Cranium is circulated by steel bonds grasping around the reaches of his cupola, constricting the flesh that lay beneath, as if act of penance in its usage.

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 wantings will truly be granted passage to truly wondrous recompense, or so they so. But only those who willing rid themselves of mind for divinity are lost in the ever morphing maze of cultic delusion or bear deep loss of tranquility in thought and wish to give themselves upon an entity they rely upon, for they lack any measure of self worth or capability to raise themselves, Geiteskraken Priester, is the latter and former. A man who would deceive himself in order to clench what little dignity he bears.

Like a festering cyst does the religious zeal of The Devout taint the lands of Asterisks with infectious scriptures of inanity caroling sheep under the gazeable guise of intellectuals acting as their equally extravagantly ignorant pastor through fields laced with crops of falsehoods and hexes cloaked in the flesh of blessings. Beneath the guard of a rigid theist with absolute belief in his deity lay an individual crippled with ailments of an almost parasitic reliance on a god he himself bears doubt holds grasp in reality. With hardships supposed to be tests from this Demiurge himself to solidify Priester's worth to him, with such being mere illusion to mask the indulgence such a malicious deity holds in the sorrow and suffering of it's blissfully dense believers.

Ruminated through thousands of realms across the plane of Asterisks, the name of Geiteskraken 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 to capable of deciphering the simple locket that is this false theologian, a fear all to blind to be viewed by the gnostic that ever more seeps into the recesses of reality. 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 to ripe to be truly blessed with enlightened, but hold fear of what already has taken claim on the preacher of deception; to himself, he is a man seeking reasons to not collapse on the cold earth and waste away into oblivion, and the number of excuses grow to be less and less with every passing trial the Demiurge sets.
