Father Joseph Rixa
Strife — angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues; conflict. Latin, Rixa.@MessianicStrife
Background
Current location, Ashford Village, country negotiable.Joseph is a 40 year old Catholic priest with a deep entanglement with the occult. He has a sincere conviction in his belief in the One True God, while hearing whispers and seeing shadows of the elder gods, the eldritch horrors that walked between dimensions long before humans had dominion over the Earth. He performs mass on Sundays, and ritualistic blood sacrifices all other days to keep the world safe from the Horrors they cannot see.

Holy Father
Characteristics
By necessity, Joseph is extremely closed-off. He mirrors others' personalities, reflecting them back at themselves to endear himself to them, and to keep them talking about themselves - rather than him.He is slow to trust and even slower to be vulnerable. Even so, he cares deeply for people and is desperate for friendship and ways to feel like a normal person.Beneath the surface, he has a high gore threshold, anger issues, and the capacity for extreme violence on those who deserve it.
