He wears overall black robes seen in all priests and carries three crosses on his person, when on the field, he wears a gray motorcyclist’s jacket and a 1930’s style black fedora. He wears customized black leather gloves doused with holy water constantly, to ensure that the children he blesses at the orphanages and churches will be protected by ethereal phantom entities. He is the only priest in service wearing branded hoes that is not worn by a priest or nun.
Personality:
He is a devout believer in the Lord in his own way. He is a very strange man compared to other priests, but his gifted skills in exorcism and kindly blessings and caring personality towards orphans and the unfortunate have earned him great respect and enduring toleration by the churches he is associated with despite some of his strange recurring hobbies that goes against some of their beliefs. When exorcising, he uses all the standard protocols and important prayers needed, in order to ensure that the unfortunate one possessed remains free from the grip of the entities of the afterlife and unlike standard exorcists who goes by the book, he has unorthodox methods up his sleeves should the spirit possessing the person or haunting the place refuses to cooperate.
He believes that some evil entities possessing the living are nothing but pests that needs to be sent to the afterlife or contained within the church’s holy manuscripts written to contain them, he doesn’t believe all of them are evil and just needed to be heard by the living. He will gladly perform an exorcism to any soul requesting it.
When exorcising a person or place and he finds out that the spirit is a violent entity, he becomes very serious in his work, often beginning his task with the words: “Let us Pray”, often reciting verses or quotes from the bible randomly when engaging the entity.
Likes (at least five, please): Milk, Billiards, European food, Holy water, American donuts, motorcycling, movies, Bible studies, cooking, praying, fencing, fairy tale folklore, Rock music and stand up comedy (often based mostly on nun and priest jokes)
Dislikes (at least five, please): Satanists, unruly ghosts, corrupt priests, punk rock, Uwe Boll films, bad donuts, peanuts and silly movies.
History:
Born to an average home and family, Douglas was considered to be a very strange boy, often believed to be talking to himself or seemingly attacking the air at random when he was 5 and 6 years old. They did not realize that the boy was able to see ghosts or other entities, often staring them down or throwing his toys and cutleries at the air. When he was 8, his mother was possessed by an unholy spirit that had been watching them all since he was born. He tried to free his mother in vain, seeing the spirit is too strong for his mother to let go, she nearly could’ve died, his father called a passing through priest who swiftly intervened and captured the spirit after appearing in his neighbourhood for a bible study, Doug was amazed that the priest could harm the entity in many ways that he cannot fathom.
The priest identified to be Alexander Winchester was an exorcist who also saw great potential in Douglas, they became good friends after saving his mother and after some convincing, inspired Douglas to walk the path of god and become an exorcist. Afterwards, he was taken in by the church to become a priest and an excellent exorcist in his own right. The only problem with Doug is that he rarely follows the standard restrictions granted by the priests, often contradicting what he really is. Despite the contradicting lifestyle and outlandish behaviour, Alexander still has great respect for Douglas, as the young gifted exorcist was able to complete his tasks without fail and also discover new ways to capture spirits or release them.
Weapons against spirits: Douglas is a priest sent by the church to dispatch spirits that have been attracting attention, so it comes with no surprise that the wild priest comes with weapons against such unholy entities.
His basic standard arsenal includes bible pages doused in holy water to set up a barrier with the possessed and him in it, injections to put the possessed to sleep in order to properly communicate with the entity, and normally scalpels or knives strictly made by the church to pull the spirit out, these blades are made by the church only to serve the purpose of harming the spirit and not the body. He also has his own set of arsenals customized from the church but rarely uses them incase of dire emergencies.
Lastly, he comes with a holy book issued and made by the church that could send the spirit to the afterlife after his exorcism proves effective or kept for the church to properly understand and study.
Special abilities:Douglas can see ghosts since he was a child, often able to harm them given enough effort, this phenomenon is carefully monitored by the church and exceeds their expectations everytime Douglas ventures out to exorcise spirits. Other abilities include the ability to detect entities within a building or within a person, or differentiate a ghost from another otherworldly entity.
Edit: the special abilities and weapons section is subject to change to better fit the story later guys, I'm just writing stuff up.
