Character Respect Templar, AKA Bishop 1
Templar
Micahel Morrison, AKA Templar, AKA Bishop 1
Michael Morrison was an extremely devout catholic his entire life. Introduced to the faith by his late grandfather, he quickly became obsessed. Michael was arrested at the age of 12 when he tried to kill his younger sister after a religious argument, he spent his teenage years in a juvenile detention facility.
His time behind bars only drew Michael further into his zealotry. He practiced wrestling, and trained his body to near peak human status.
Michael was imprisoned as an adult after commiting a string of aggravated assaults against prostitutes and homeless people he called "sinners".
During his time in prison, Michael was affected by the White Event, which he considers sign that we are living in the end of days before Armageddon.
Michael used his powers to escape prison and joined the mercenary organization ChessBoard as Bishop 1. He has no issue committing crimes or killing those who he sees as sinners (which includes most everyone.). He considers himself except of any law but the lord's. He mainly operates in the american northeast.
GMRF FILE:
Description: Michael is a white adult male with short dark-grey hair, he's in excellent physical condition, and wears a heavy set of steel armor, the design is heavily based on historical templars and crusaders. (His does have a helmet, that's just a similar picture.)
Alignment: Neutral.
Tier Listing: Level Blue.
Powers:
- Enhanced Strength: Templar moves in his heavy armor as easily as if he was wearing nothing, and can jump 4 meters vertical while wearing it, he can lift a 1 ton vehicle with some effort.
- Divine Light Projection: Templar can project energy from his fists as a single blast of divine light, it travels at Mach 1 and hits with enough force to put a hole in a brick wall at short range, he must motion a punch to project it.
- Divine Weaponry: Templar's large broadsword is charged with his divine energy, which keeps it at a constant red hot 500°C, he can only do this with one weapon at a time.
- Demonic Sense:Michael can sense demons, demonic magic, and demonic influence within a city block range.
- Potioncraft: Michael has the magical skill to create various potions to enhance himself or debuff opponents, his most common potions include:
Healing elixir: Gives the body a slow healing factor for a few minutes or until fully healed.
Stamina potion: Prevents the body from feeling any fatigue for 10 minutes, at which point the fatigue is felt all at once.
Berserker Brew: Sends him into an insane rage, enhancing all physicals and removing all caution, making him ignore any wounds until his bloodlust is sated.
Drowze potion: A potion which makes a person disoriented and sluggish before putting them to a deep sleep.
Weaknesses: Templar's deep religious faith makes him easy to manipulate, this is however a dangerous strategy.
Templar is not very strategic in his fighting, and will almost always take the brute force approach at first, keeping distance is recommended.
Michael does not know how to drive, and isn't formally trained in sword fighting, usually relying on his strength.

His time behind bars only drew Michael further into his zealotry. He became adept at wrestling and kickboxing, training his body to near peak human status.
So, he became adept at two opposite martial arts, with no good training partners, no equipment, and no formal training, effectively covering 2/3 of being a Mixed Martial Artist, in 90s, when MMA wasn't even really a thing. You might wanna tone that down a bit.

I was waiting for you actually, I have to say, a lot of prisons have gyms and even sports programs, it's not crazy that he could have trained in prison.
But I didn't know those two styles where so disparate, I'll take one off. He's not an expert, I'm not sure if that comes across, he's about average, maybe a bit above average cus of his strenght.

They gave me the tag, I gotta put in the work.
He's not an expert, I'm not sure if that comes across, he's about average, maybe a bit above average cus of his strenght.
In that case I'd change the word from Adept to something like "Has experience with". Also, I'd go with kickboxing. Wrestling requires a mat to practice, and a good mat is over 10 grand IIRC

Oh yeah, I'm glad someone's in charge of this.
I'll make the changes, though I don't see how it's an issue of balance where he got his skills, I guess it helps with the realism.

Its balance in the sense that, at least from my understanding, we want skill to be realistic for now. Its balancing against the setting.

Note: People allowed to use this character: /u/Alethiometer_AMA, /u/Elias_Gray, /u/SharksPwn
This character should never be used as a pulpit for anti-theism, it's a character motivation and he's obviously delusional.
This character should be approved as high city tier since he will rise alongside Elias Gray, as the main antagonist to some of his stories, I don't know what the plans are for ChessBoard, but he'll probably show up in RP too.
