Appearance
Personality
A somber, philosophical priest. He views his birth as an oddity and considers his life, penance for what he is. Born a monster, he seeks out other monsters to purge with blessed blade and inward turmoil. His dream is to see innocence before him preserved. His methods as a result, work on the mindset that his own personal safety is always last, compared to those he could save.
History/Bio: There is a legend of a particular school in Romania. A place where only ten students for a span of seven years are chosen, and one sacrificed to its headmaster for the price of power. It was here, that the Impaler came to study and in the modern era, it's ruins were plundered by the Catholic Church.
Many of its artifacts were kept locked away, deemed too dangerous for the world. In the wake after the War of London, the more...Radical factions of Iscariot see otherwise. In secret, they took the dark secrets of that school and with modern medicine performed a feat blasphemous by many standards.
They bred a monster to fight monsters, using artificial insemination but something happened that none forsaw.
The child born was eager to please, listening to stories of the heroes of Christianity. From the Roman martyrs to the modern saints he learned and he questioned the world around him. All the while, he would be trained in secret for the Radicals and their missions. He was undoubtedly a monster, but his mannerism was uncannily human. A sign from God? Or perhaps he was a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Whatever he may be or what he was, his mother loved him and in knowing her love, he retained his humanity once he learned what he was. He is now the shadow of the conservative faction, the Radicals secret weapon. He receives no accolades for what he does. To be found is to die by his allies.
But this is his path. For the sake of others and for that Carpenter who set the standard, he fights.
Powers
Regeneration: Like the fallen Paladin in London, Lucifer likewise can regenerate. However, it's notably weaker due to his humanity. Whereas Anderson could heal from headshots within seconds, Lucifer would require an outside party to remove the bullets first. Limbs would be required to be found and set, to allow flesh and bone to knit back. Poison and disease however, have no effect on him due to this.
Teleportation: Manifesting in the form of a crow swarm, Lucifer can teleport within a hundred meter range. This requires him to know his surroundings, lest he ends up halfway in a wall.
Enhanced Strength/Agility: Strength and Agility on part with MCU Captain America. Powerful enough for humans, against monsters it's much more taxing.
Hypnotism: A talent he's personally uncomfortable with. However, it's undeniably useful for removing eyewitnesses. Has no effect on those with mental protection or strong wills.
Shape-shifting: Capable of transforming into a crow, a rat and a black dog.
Magecraft: Another heresy atop his own personage. The art of Magecraft is varied, but if asked he would deny being a magician. He is simply a person who uses Magecraft to his own ends, studying the work to aid in his battlecraft and hunts.
Runic Lore: As this is a craft that deals with preparation, it has found its advocate in the young Paladin. His two focus are Protection and Fire.
Wall Walking: When he concentrates, he can run on walls. This does not extend to surfaces like glass.
Beast Senses: While not sharing the sheer range a proper vampire would have, his own senses are enough to render him a monster on human scales. The outward evidence of this is in his eyes, which are always the same red coloration. In hunts, he wears colored contacts to pass for human.
Ki Mastery: Due to his intense study of martial arts as well as his own search for balance between man and monster, Lucifer has become a user of his internal energies. While he won't be flinging fireballs or spend episodes on end to channel a beam, this does grant him some aid. Notably, he can 'feel' the aura of people, translated as scents to his mind. He can also expel 'bursts' to empower a blow or speed himself up to make him faster. This is a finite resource, with over usage of his energies rendering him weak and tired until able to rest.
Power limitations: In addition to the limits mentioned with each power, every three days he requires blood plasma to survive. Removal of this wracks him with pain and without a ready source, his body will feast on himself. This may possibly render him a true vampire, but most likely will kill him. He takes his blood plasma in the guise of diabetes shots.
Skills
Magecraft: A
Ki Mastery: A
Bajiquan Martial Arts: B
Mental Resilience: SS
Bayonet Mastery: AS
Weapon(s)/ Equipment.
Blessed Bayonets: Of the type identical to the deceased Paladin Anderson. Comes in a variety of types, from throwaway, mass-produced types to more melee-centric, high craft items.
.50 Caliber Smith and Wesson, with blessed ammo: Completely hopeless with aiming, this is a last-ditch weapon for Paladin Lucifer. The weapon is mostly a ceremonial piece as a result.
Shroud of Saint Giles: The greatest feat of Magecraft accomplished by Paladin Lucifer yet. Named after the patron saint of Lepers and Outcasts, the Shroud is covered in repeated runes of protection. Intermeshing, one with the other they create a repeated protective force that redirects blunt trauma and other physical blows through the legs of its wearer into the ground. This has a threshold however, and it's material is still cloth. The shroud takes the form of the longcoat Paladin Lucifer wears in battle.
Military Scriptures and rosary cross: Constant items he takes everywhere.
Strengths: His faith in a higher power, in addition to his innate stubbornness ensures that attempts to influence his mind will more often than not, fail. In battle, he fights like a Hunter and makes contingency plans, to ensure success. Using the sum of his individual power and skills, he makes for a terrifying opponent.
Weakness/ Fears: His code of honor is his bond. Unscrupulous folks could make good use of that, seeking to manipulate him. In addition, he can be killed with enough force and application. He's no marksman also, guns being a weapon of last resort. His nigh-suicidal battle mindset could also be used to lure him, as can the possibility of innocents harmed. His final Weakness is his reliance on Blood Plasma.
Other:
"These are God's children. And you will not harm them."
