Name: Samuel Evans.
Sex: Male.
Age: 43.
Appearance:
Weight: 175 lbs (79 kilograms).
Height: 6 feet (1.83 meters).
Notable items: A worn, leather bible emblazoned with a golden cross. Serves as his Catalyst.
Background: Born to a poor family on the outskirts of Regnum Magnopere, Samuel grew up with little food and was abandoned in an orphanage. Resorting to pick pocketing, Samuel became know as a delinquent and troublemaker in the small town he grew up in. He lacked the moral fiber the other children at the orphanage had and, as a result, took up bullying his weaker peers for food and money. He had little schooling as a child, and was illiterate until the age of 16. By the time he was 15, all the other children in his orphanage were adopted, leaving Samuel with children half his age and a staff who were less forgiving of him by the day. Just as Samuel was about to give up on ever being adopted, the orphanage was visited by a lone priest, who adopted Samuel and took him to live with the priest in an old church.
Growing up with the priest mainly involved the priest calmly asking Samuel to do a chore or task, Samuel angrily refusing to do said task, and Samuel begrudgingly finishing the task several minutes later. The priest taught Samuel how to read, how to multiply and divide, and even some basic history of the world. It was at the age of 18 that the priest gave Samuel his own bible, leaving the old church permanently, and leaving Samuel left to his own devices. Samuel spent the next 3 years studying the book of the lord, acting as the reverend for a town that used to despise him, and doing general repair of a decaying church. After those 3 years, Samuel decided to close the old church, going out into the world to experience what was outside of the small town he grew up in.
Samuel went to many different parts of the kingdom. After 10 years of traveling, he finally decided to settle down and return to the small town life he abandoned. Settling in a small town to the north of the kingdom, Samuel eventually founded a small hospital with the medical knowledge he developed from other travelers he met. Over the course of 12 more years, due to his job and importance, Samuel grew to be very respected in the small town, eventually being chosen as the representative of his town for events in the cities. This, combined with his regular preaching at the local church, lead to him cultivating his persuasion and compromising. It was on one of these trips to the cities that Samuel met Gabriel, his spirit.
Samuel was traveling alone along an abandoned dirt path, carrying vital pain medication from the city, headed for the town. As he traveled, his horse slowly began to grow restless, eventually stopping entirely. Assuming that the horse was hungry and tired, Samuel went for a walk while it recovered. It was near a dirty pond that Samuel noticed a small, almost crippled-looking bird on the side of the road. A pang of guilt passed through Samuel, as similarities between his childhood and the abandoned creature rose to the forefront of his mind. He reached out to the twitching, pitiable bird and felt a warm, nostalgic feeling emanating from it. As soon as he touched the bird, it gazed at him with glistening eyes and allowed Samuel to take it with him.
1 month later, the bird was fully healed and revealed itself as the spirit Gabriel. Gabriel left the tower to pursue a life of peace, but was assaulted by 2nd evolution spirits and left to die on the side of the road. Gabriel swore fealty to Samuel, serving as his shield in times where Samuel was in need of help, just as Samuel had done for him. With a strong spirit in tow, Samuel decided that he still had enough time to go on one last adventure, and headed out for the tower in order to bring fame and glory to his town.
Personality: Despite his youth, Samuel grew to become a very calm and rational person. Preferring to talk out an issue rather than fight, Samuel simply wishes to help people and watch them grow, just as the priest had done for him. Samuel believes anyone can change for the better and, if given the choice, refuses to kill anyone. Samuel rarely raises his voice above a conversational volume, and the times he does is usually for those at a distance. Samuel would prefer a calm walk through the upper levels of the tower than the thrill-seeking an adventurer usually goes after. One of the very few things that annoys Samuel is people commenting on how he looks older than he actually is. Samuel regrets many of the things he has done in his past and wishes to make amends with those he has wronged.
