Suggested Characteristics

d8	Personality Trait
1	I empathize with those who do not follow the path of light. Creatures of all types can be brought back to the path of righteousness and are often suffering and in great pain.
2	I believe in the words of my religion and quote its texts and scriptures as often as I can.
3	I am tolerant (or intolerant) of other faiths and respect (or condemn) the worship of other gods.
4	I have spent my life in a temple or church. Rough living wears on me quickly.
5	I believe very strongly that everything will turn out okay, and nothing can shake my positive attitude.
6	My faith kept me distant from others. I have very little experience with the world outside the church/temple/shrine.
7	I have extremely strict etiquette and manners for interactions and tasks, and I refuse to stray from them.
8	I am working on my thesis of religious ongoings in the world and excitedly discuss the nuances of these ideas with anyone and everyone.

d6	Ideal
1	Respect. My powers are a blessing and a curse, and I work diligently to show people not to fear magic. (Good)
2	Knowledge. I left the Academy on good terms to work at one of the many historical institutes of the world, hoping that my love for books and history would be of use. (Any)
3	Forgiveness. I must undo the mistakes of my past by proving myself to those I care about most. (Good)
4	Faith. The path laid out before me is determined by the divine entity I worship. I will follow its signs and patterns to fulfil my purpose. (Lawful)
5	Power. The gods have granted me divine powers and I must use them to make those who do not worship as strongly as I see the divine light and understand that I am the one true speaker of my faith. (Chaotic)
6	Peace. I do not like to be part of conflicts, rather a neutral voice of reason to all sides. (Neutral)

d6	Bond
1	Nothing is more important than my church and what it represents.
2	I joined my religion to hide from a past I would rather forget.
3	The path to enlightenment is unending. I must stay the course.
4	I will die if it means doing right by my religious beliefs.
5	Everything I do is for the good of the common people.
6	I seek to preserve the ancient texts and artefact of my religion.

d6	Flaw
1	I judge others harshly and believe my path to be the one true path.
2	I believe in the words of my religion so strongly that I follow them without question.
3	The goal I have set for myself is my destiny, and I can not act against it or abandon it for any reason.
4	My religion was meant to keep the dark thoughts at bay, but I find myself losing that battle and a blood thirst grows within me.
5	This is my first taste of life outside my religion, and I enjoy its pleasures a little too much.
6	The gods and my faith have determined that I am always correct as I speak on their behalf. There is no question in my mind that I speak the ultimate truths and any who do not agree are misguided fools.
