IC Information


Name/Alias: Fr. Adhemar Normand
Age: 45
Occupation: Vicar; Priest of the Path of Light
Born with The Vice?: Yes
If yes, do they use it?: Oh yes

Appearance:
  • A somewhat attractive but otherwise ordinary-looking white guy approaching middle age. The only distinguishing characteristic about him might be the very pale and clear blue of his eyes.

    History:
  • Born in austere and frozen Griston, in the Fjords, to two nobody parents who died of exposure only a few short months after his birth. Became a ward of the church shortly after, and grew up under the care and tutelage of priests.
  • Revealed to be exceptionally bright and gifted at a young age; the only available avenue for this intelligence being dedication to the priesthood, thence he went.
  • Bit low on empathy, tho, but learned how to perform appropriate feelings/reactions so as to glide by without too much difficulty.
  • Discovered his proclivity towards the Vice as an early teenager; this discovery coincided with his determination that the gods, saints, and the Path of Light in general, were probably garbage.
  • Gets ordained anyway.
  • Spends a couple of decades doing the dull work of a vicar--traveling to perform marriages, preside over funerals, etc--and exploring obscure religious apocrypha lurking within the libraries and archives of different churches throughout the north of Maireglenne. Cultivates his vice in secret.
  • His scriptural research leads him to take up residence at the small, dusty vicarage of Northcliff Pass, situated close enough to Gods' Reach to suit most of his needs.

    Personality:
  • Whatever you want him to be.
  • In all seriousness, he's a bit of a chameleon, but recognizes that his inability to connect emotionally with others could get him into hot water. He uses his position as village vicar as a solid enough excuse to keep people at arm's length, and for the most part it seems to work.

    Abilities:
  • Literate, with a gift for illuminations.
  • Born under the influence of the Sea, his vice is strongest when he interacts with water.
  • Unexpectedly outdoorsy?? due to growing up in the Fjords.

    Reputation:
  • A well-read, private man, that vicar. Keeps to himself when not overseeing the delivery of homilies and vespers.
  • Maybe it's his northern blood that makes his eyes so cold.

    Notes:
    Adhemar has been in Northcliff Pass for about five years--and replaced the last village vicar, who bit it when the Gods' Reach volcano last had a bit of indigestion and spat lava down upon the village inhabitants. (RIP Father Petyr.)
