Apologies in advance for any spelling mistakes. It's 3AM and I kinda just did a whole stream-of-consciousness thing for the entire form. Let me know if you have any questions

Name: Ishmael (toss him a last name if you want I guess, I don’t have one for him)


 * Deity of: Plants, Healing, Peace

Gender/Pronouns: Cisgender male/He//Him

Age: 23

Appearance & Outfit: Ishmael stands about 5’5 with a strong but slim build. He looks to be in his late teens/early twenties and has short, light brown hair styled in an undercut with a square jaw and rosy cheeks. His eyes are a bright, yellow-green color. Ishmael bears a large scar on his chest and back, right where his heart would be, almost as if he had been impaled. He wears a tan wool poncho with darker brown patterns on the shoulders with a dark brown undershirt and black pants. He’s usually barefoot, but when he does wear shoes he will wear some beat-up work boots.

Personality: (Bro feel free to change him up as much as you’d like, I’d be interested to see your take on him) Ishmael is a peacemaker at heart. He doesn't like conflict, but understands that sometimes it is necessary. He's generally a kindhearted individual, and tries to do good whenever he can. He isn't one for pointless fighting, but even his feathers can get ruffled sometimes. He is very defensive of his inner circle, which can include family and friends. This can sometimes come across as overbearing, but he means well. Other times, Ishmael is a laid back individual erring on the side of lazy. He's not the greatest at keeping up appearances, but if there’s work to be done and the cause strikes true to him then you’ll find him right up front. He's trusting of others,opting to see the best in people and give them the benefit of the doubt where he can. Since he dislikes confrontation, he will often choose to prolong that confrontation as long as possible by making excuses. This can have disasterous consequences when he needs to cut off those that are close to him for the good of himself and others.

But everyone has their off days. While he’s usually calm in the face of crisis, even he can get stressed out sometimes, especially when he feels a lack of control or if people he cares about get hurt. Under extreme circumstances, Ishmael will isolate himself from others, locking himself in a room for hours or days at a time. He can become snappy and irritable, and parinoia will cause him to question his bonds with others, mostly on his end. These episodes can throw him into funks that last for weeks afterward, but he's quick to mask it as best as he can.

Ishmael is extremely wary of people who like to pry into personal lives. While he is fairly open with everything else, he doesn’t like talking about his past and will stonewall questions if he feels that people are getting too personal. It’s one of the few times he will be outright rude to people.

Why would this character fight?: If he needed to protect others, or if he has exhausted all other options.

Teigu (Name, Appearance, Abilities Granted, Limitations): (tbh I just eyeballed the list of Teigu on the wiki to get a grasp of the naming conventions) Call Of The Wild: Scream— In keeping with his nature god origins, I wanted to reference the Greek God Pan, and his fabled scream that could fill people with fear. Also think it’s a nice parallel with GGaD!Ishmael’s peace circle because I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff. So this Teigu is a pan flute that Ishmael wears around his neck. When played, the target(s) are filled with a feeling of intense, paralyzing fear. Ishmael can play it for as long as he deems necessary. However, it requires his upmost focus as he needs to maintain attention on his targets. If he fails to do so, the sound will affect allies as well, including him. The target(s) also need to be within hearing range, which isn’t too difficult because he can play it really freaking loud. He also needs to be able to breathe while playing, as it is most effective if he plays it continually instead of a sharp blast.

Backstory: Ishmael’s father was a high-ranking official in the Empire’s army. It is expected of him that he follow in his father’s footsteps; it’s presented to Ish as if there is no other option. While he’s not the most bloodthirsty individual, this agenda has been drummed into him for his entire life. He wants to serve the Empire to finally make his dad proud and live up the the expectation that has preceded him for generations. Ishmael is striving to be a combat medic despite protests from his father, who wants him to have a more... physical role. He doesn’t think that he needs to have a gun to make a difference. But he’s been told never mind what he actually thinks of the whole conflict.

What side would you want this character to be on? : I’d expect him on Empire, but you can throw him anywhere, have him switch sides, whatever.

What job do you see this character having? : Combat medic or teaching others how to be one

Other: A good old-fashioned empty wrapping paper tube is my weapon of choice.
