History

Simeon Lazzaro was born in a region where Serbia, Italy, and Germany collide and, at present, no longer exists as it did in his childhood. He grew up hardworking and devout, displaying an aptitude for both manual labor and holy life, but ultimately pursued the later option. Life was rather mundane for Simeon until the region was rocked by the outbreak of a series of wars which made men into monsters and brought monsters out of hiding. His entire village was devastated in a sudden supernatural siege and he is believed to be the only survivor. However, he was not left unscarred by the events.

Left stateless at the end of the war to end all wars, Father Lazzaro spent some time in the Vatican recovering from attack. He was encouraged to pursue a new, spiritual path as a hunter. Instead, he found comfort in the legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and eventually set out to regions devastated by conflict to help with their rebuilding efforts through faith and hard work.

During his travels, whispers of a town locked in time, besieged by the undead reached him. The thought of saving others from the fate his town had suffered (along with the pestering of the church to return to the path they desired of him) led him to take an offer to aid the plagued village in the middle of an ancient German forest.

Personality

A body this large needs a personality to match. Father Lazzaro exudes compassion and congeniality. Without much effort, he seeks to emulate Christ and Saint Francis of Assisi in their humility and dedication to all life, especially the meek. He sees the potential in all life, even the supernatural, provided they demonstrate affiliation with nature. Much of the church is too austere and grand for his likings- he's content to work outdoors and among the people. Given his leanings and injury, he is less likely to be the one giving sermons. He is rarely flustered by anger, unless someone is treated unjustly or is threatened.

Quirks

Father Lazzaro has difficulty speaking due to his injury. He can respond in short replies, but tries not to form longer sentences. In order to not seem aloof, he makes every word count. And luckily, his ability to laugh has not been impeded.

Warm to the touch, Father Lazzaro gives the best hugs. He also smells really good.

Physical Traits

The first thing most people seem to notice about Simeon is his massive stature. Imposing though he may be, this large priest is rarely seen without a warm smile lighting up his gentle features. His style is effortless, and casual, expressed through his simple dress and grooming habits, as well as his demeanor. In fact, he often looks for excuses not to wear a cassock, whether its manual labor or reading passages, as the get up is far too formal for him (it doesn't help his current vestments are a little snug). Although quite hirsute, Simeon also has a few visible nicks and burns from his work as a craftsman. He makes no attempt to hide them or the rather nasty scar that starts at the crook of his neck and runs thinly over to the other side.

Abilities

Strengths

Craftsmanship> Gentleman Macguyver. Give him a hunk of wood and he will whittle you a duck in an hour. Give him a hunk of metal and he'll bang out a blade in good time.

Pain Tolerance> He will push through a great deal to help others and keep them safe.

Self-reliance/Survival> Simeon is more than capable of living off the land, or what God has provided. What he cant find, he can easily make given the right tools.

Charisma>His strongest weapon may be his positive and encouraging demeanor. He is quick to defuse a situation with a boisterous laugh or provide an ear when the world's burdens have grown too great.

Weaknesses

Pacifist/Shield> Simeon would rather turn the other cheek than raise his hand at another creature, living or undead. While he does not believe in violence, he is quite aware that pacifism is not always an option.

Trusting/Protective> He is generous with his trust and willingness to help others. This could easily be taken advantage of by humans and supernatural creatures alike.

Big> Definitely not a ninja. He sticks out in a crowd and would probably be the worst at any kind of reconnaissance.

Personal Items

Bible - family bible that looks worse for wear
Toolkit - a few basic craftsman tools
Simple Silver Band - it barely fits his pinky
Wooden Cross
