Personality

Early Life

"For all have sinned and thereby are deprived of the glory of God

- Romans 3:23

Born in the Etoile Isles, twelve years following the assassination of President Marchand and Lord Recluse seizing control of the Isles and enacting his particular strain of militaristic Darwinism upon the people, life was not easy for the young Adam. His parents barely striving to meet end's meet while villains roamed with impunity, stealing and destroying to their heart's content planted the groundwork for a jaded streak which would linger until much later in his life. By the time he was in his early-to-mid-teens he spent much of his time outside of school working with his father or uncles at the docks or the mines in order to provide a bit more money to the family.

Heeding the Call

"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears."

- Acts 20:29-31

As I walk through the Valley...

Lord, allow me repentance

Let me hear what I've done

Seek the devil's acceptance

Show her mercy and run

- Have Faith (Aviators)

Epiphanies in the Alleyway

"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

- James 2:241

Powers and Abilities

"The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it."

- Proverbs 22:3

• Occult Knowledge - McKnight has spent many years studying through folklore and occult text, providing him a breadth of knowledge over many things occult with particular focus on creatures and their abilities and weaknesses, but also many esoteric rituals.
• Divine Magic - One of the tricks in Father McKnight's arsenal, through his studies of the works of early Christian mystics and practice of Lectio Divina, Father McKnight has learned how to utilize his faith to bolster the resolve of his allies as well as create protective barriers around himself and those around him.

• Firearms Training

Equipment

• Penance and Retribution - Father McKnight's trusty handguns, these two pistols are loaded with differing types ammo depending on the circumstance from Holy water filled rounds to bullets containing slivers of Ash Trees.

Weaknesses

"Even heroes have the right to bleed"

- Superman (Five for Fighting)

• Mortality - For all of his tricks and tools, Father McKnight is still only human: no superhuman healing, heightened reflexes or invulnerability. Injuries still must take time to heal, and he can be put out of commission for a time by injuries, or even perish.

• Poor Eyesight - Being considerably myopic, McKnight requires prescription lenses to see much of anything that's up close, and as such without his glasses he has a hard time seeing, let alone fighting the things that go bump in the night.

Affiliations

"Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel."

- Proverbs 27:9

Friends Friend #1: The description for Friend #1 Friend #2: The description for Friend #2

Neutrals Neutral #1: The description for Neutral #1

Enemies Enemy #1: The description for Enemy #1

Thoughts of the Flock

Met the Priest? Have something to say? This is the place for you.

RP Hooks

Opinionated Priest - Father McKnight is very vocal regarding his opinions on certain people and organizations in the Isles (particularly in how they treat the people), it is possible agents working for these groups and individuals might be sent to intimidate or even attack the priest in order to take him down a peg or two.

Tropes

• Fantastic Catholicism - Father McKnight is a monster-hunting priest with the ability to invoke divine magic, 'nuff said.

• Papa Wolf - If there is one way to earn the rather of McKnight, it's to harm a child, or his flock. He'll go from mild-mannered priest to in your face and ready to defend.
• Good Shepherd

Trivia

• In a Hypothetical Movie of Homecoming, Father McKnight would be played by Anthony Stewart Head.
• The character is inspired by a mix of Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Father Forthill from Dresden, The Iscariot Organization from Hellsing (Particularly in his youth), and Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender to name a few.
