Gender: Male
Age: 28
Race: Human
Appearance: Anderson's work attire consists of a suit of metal armor, sleek and stout looking. Over it is an ornate white surcoat with a scarlet cross emblazoned across the chest. A large red cape covers the knight's shoulders, and his head is concealed by a great helm. From his belt hangs a silver crucifix, several bottles of holy water, and similar items. He is the very image of a wandering crusader.
Underneath the helmet lies a young man with medium length black hair, brushed back and revealing a shock of white. His face is clean shaved and his green eyes are focused and steely. His body sports the odd scar or nick, notably one going diagonally over his eyebrows.
Faction: The Catholic Church
Personality: Andrew, on his surface, resembles the quintessential crusader. Frighteningly zealous and possessed of an incredibly devout faith, he does not hesitate to smite any demons and heretics he sees. Paladin Anderson is a tool of divine retribution.
With his helmet off, metaphorically speaking, he's relatively down to earth. He's an avid reader, and when he's not fighting demons he often helps run the orphanage he grew up in. He holds moral values in high esteem, and puts a high value on human life. In fact, this trait is often what fuels his fire. In his own words, he's been blessed to meet many kind people, and should do his all to defend good. That is why he fights. That is why he delights in punishing demons.
Bio: Anderson was born an orphan in Europe. Raised in a Catholic-run orphanage, he was soon found to have a spark of devotion setting him apart from the other children. Carefully, he was guided to study, train, and pray harder than one would ever expect, and was ordained at a very young age. From there, he was drafted into the ranks of the Vatican's foremost Exorcists. Its secret legions consist of highly trained demon hunters equipped with blessed weapons. Anderson specifically was a young prodigy, and his single-minded devotion combined with constant demon-slaying and regular contact with divine artifacts even granted him a powerful blessing.
Now, with the balance of the world thrown out of order, he fights to bring peace to humanity, by eliminating demonic threats with extreme prejudice. God wills it.
