Father Joshua; MadCom Priest OC
🙏 Random Facts about Father Joshua 🙏:
Used to be apart of a group of fellow priests and nuns who were basically all armed. Best friends. They were called many names. They were one of the most peaceful tiny factions within Nevada. Though, many people have forgotten it's name. They accepted refuges and stuff. Nobody knows what the church was like before the great Hankenning. One day, after he went running for supplies, he discovered that his church folk and the church itself were obliterated by green-eyed MUTHAFUCKINNN' Bandits. And killed the camp where the specific bandits lived in.
He has a Parasite in his eye socket which feeds on him, but also grants him different minor abilities like a tiny boost to strength, etc. It heals him, but also consumes him at the same time. It has gotten so bad to the point that it can even communicate with him... Somehow. It's a useful tool in long melee range as it can stab the shit out of opponents that get too close. But it also gives him random headaches and makes him cough out blood. It's not meant to be permanent, afterall... It's a parasite. How did he get this parasite? That's still basically unknown.
Only survivor of said Church faction.
Rebuilt the church with scraps. Open to everyone, but is extremely booby-trapped outside unless deactivated by Father Joshua himself.
Has a personal sawn-off Shotgun that he named 'Anna', after one of the Nuns he fell in love with in said Church group, who of course, fucking died. He actually just calls it 'Santa Anna'. This shotgun is loaded with special shells that can blow half a Grunt's body clean-off.
Vows to never "deliver JUSTICE" upon those who are actually innocent. Bends the rules a bit, but he is very forgiving.
Doesn't make friends, easily. Thinks that people who become friends will distract him, and will probably die.
"One for Maria. Two for Josiah. Three for Paul. Four for Vick. Five for Andy. Six for Yoliah. Seven for Joseph. Eight for Ethan. Nine for Thomas. Ten for... Ten for Anna."
Father Joshua counts the shells he packs into his little pouches this specific way. All of these names are people who were in the Church that he's in. They're all dead, of course.
A lot of this is old lore and art mixed in with new stuff. As you can tell, it's kind of half-assed in a way.
The parasite is kinda inspired by the creatures in Prey. Just kinda. And also inspired by badass priests in movies and games. Especially Father Garcia from Faith.
So uh, yeah! That's about it, folks...~ (≧▽≦)
