What is a Lightbringer?
Thousands of years ago, when humanity still waged war on each other to conquer territory and power on epic and deadly crusades, a group was formed which had in mind only one objective, protecting the life of their companions. They were called paladins, beings that exerted their very faith and transformed it into power, using it to protect rather than attack. Those brave men threw themselves in the midst of battles and called upon God to aid them in battle, giving their body iimmeasurable strength and resistance, so they could take every attack instead of their unprotected allies. They quickly became known to every kingdom, and many attempted to copy their powers; but no one could. In order to be a Paladin, you needed true faith, you had to dedicate your life to the well being of others and always be ready to help those who need help. You could never use your power for your own gain and never think about yourself more than on others. A paladin's morals and strong sense of justice was above everything in their life, it took true, hard dedication to become one. But, that was not enough. With the rising of other types of magic, races and dangerous beings, they needed to strike back rather than only protect.
And so, the Lightbringer was created. Sharing the same sense of justice and willingness to protect those in need, a Lightbringer does so by bringing
justice to those who dare cross their allies' path. With weapons augmented by their will and faith, those brave warriors marched on the frontlines and stroke down their foes without mercy; they were not merciless, but those who wished for the death of those who they vowed to protect would receive death in return. Their greatest enemies are the demons. Those creatures are the greatest enemy of God and both Lightbringers and Paladins detest demons. To them, all demons must be purged from the world. It should be noted that all chosen Lightbringers receive one tattooed rune on their chest and each Lightbringer bears a rune which activates a spell unique to them.
With the passing of time and with the change of things, Paladins and Lightbringers became few between society. The industrialization and the changes to the world's way made it difficult to be one, after all, not too many had the will to help those above themselves.
Powers:Lightbringers receive a gift which gives them abilities similar to an angel's (being from the same source), however at the same time, it's quite different. Their resolve is to bring justice to those who do not follow it, eliminate the unholy and demonic ones and ultimately protect those who they consider allies. For this, they are granted abilities which help them with their cause.
God's Will: Lightbringers are servants of God and protectors/helpers of angels or archangels, in order to do this, they are empowered with a holy power, their soul is fierce and enlightened. Due to this, they're
immune to any mind or faith altering abilities. They can not be controlled, manipulated, seduced or anything that
causes to them a reaction or action which they wouldn't normally do.Ancient Stand: The Lightbringer leaps in defense of an ally, positioning himself between an endangered ally and an enemy. A gold-colored magical giant shield is summoned to protect him and his ally, blocking literally any attack, magical or physical. The shield dispels after roughly four seconds.
In fact, the shield isn't indestructible. A very powerful attack could destroy it, but it'd require something far beyond a human's strength, or a very powerful spell. Christopher can only use it every fourty-five seconds.
Blinding Taunt: Whenever an ally is being attacked by someone, the Lightbringer can summon a blinding light that quickly travels towards an enemies eyes, distracting the foe for three seconds. Then, Christopher taunts the enemy into attacking him rather than the ally. This is relatively useful to aid those who can't defend themselves, thus bringing a foe to attack Christopher in their place.
This may or may not work. The taunt is a literal taunt, such as an insult, but the provaction with the blinding light might be enough to save someone. Christopher can use it every thirty seconds.
Spirit of Justice: A Lightbringer relies on their sense of justice to stop a foe. They materialize a magical hammer upon their hands and hurls it towards a foe. The concussive force of the magically imbued hammer will freeze whoever is hit by it in place for three seconds, leaving them completely vulnerable for a stronger attack. Christopher can only use this every thirty seconds.
Banish: The Lightbringer extends his hands towards a demon or undead creature, them, he closes them as a barrier of holy energies form around the target; if the barrier succesfully closes and encases the demon or undead it's aimed at, their magical source will be canceled for twenty seconds, making them unable to cast any spell for fifteen seconds.
This ability only works on undeads and demons.
Light's Champion: Before using, the Lightbringer needs to prepare himself, activating the rune tattooed on his chest. The rune will glow a bright red which shows even if he's using clothes that cover. Upon activating this spell, it removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 100% of the user's strength can be used whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength. This increase the Lightbringer's power enough for him to move at speeds difficult for the average human eye to see and his attacks becomes deadly. His skin becomes as hard as steel, to the extent that he could virtually stop a blade or other sharp weapon with his barehands. The increased power extends to spells, as well, turning him resistant to them, but not immune. This lasts for about twenty minutes.
This can only be activated once a day. It requires twenty-four hours literally for him to recover enough energy to use it again.
Weaknesses:Most of Christopher's ability is only capable of hurting demons and undead. It's nearly impossible for him to harm an average human, or someone who's innocent and means no harm to innocent people. In fact, he's morally incapable of hurting someone who does not deserve it. It should be noted that his abilities are boosted by his morals, sense of justice and faith; if he betrays any of those, he completely loses his powers. Literally.
Personality:Christopher is seemingly serious and usually doesn't cares much about obsolete things. He's friendly and rarely disrespectful, if ever. He holds a blatant distaste towards undead and demon entities.
Everything else should be revealed by his actions in the roleplay.
Background:Eighteen years ago, a young Christopher was born in England, son of a caring mother and an occupied father. To say he didn't had an easy early life was a lie, after all, while his father was rarely present, the man was extremely wealthy, being the owner of a big company. Though, since young, the boy never seemed to be particularly interested in wealth. In fact, when he was young; whenever he walked with his mother on the city, he'd always ask his mother to give homeless people money, claiming that they needed it. Of course, his mother did so- and when he became older and got his own money, he'd always do the same.
In fact, for four years, he'd always walk by the same homeless man and leave $10, every single day. One day, the man wasn't there... Christopher looked forward, and there was the man, very different, wearing decent clothes, bathed. "I will never be grateful enough, thank you". Those words, they were simple, but the gratitude and how happy the man was... it was ultimately what made Christopher take another step towards 'helping' others. It was like a healthy obsession. Christopher never stopped caring about others, even those he didn't knew nothing about; he donated money to charities, worked on voluntary jobs even when he had no need to, he attended to the Church and was overally very religious. His father even became disappointed with him, as he showed far too much interest in that, but little in following his father's business.
... It was in the church that he found the motive of his life. A man approached him, dressed in brown robes; he simply whispered in his ear:
"You've been chosen, young one. For someone so young, such graceful spirit couldn't go unnoticed by us. May God guide you in your new path." That left him...Confused. He had no idea of what the man meant, but he soon found out. When he woke up the next day, he noticed strange red markings all over his chest, and he had no idea of where they came from. He told his parents nothing and immediately returned to the church. There, he was initiated. It took him a few years of training, all which happened without his parents knowledge. In this time, he learned many abilities and how to materialize and use his faith to boost his own fighting abilities; he slaughtered a demon who was wandering on earth and causing trouble and when he finished his initiation, they told him that he should study in Athalia's Academy, a place made for him. Finally, he had a long talk with his parents to explain this and only then he set sail to start a new adventure.
