Suggested Characteristics

You don't undertake trivial adventures for base purposes such as self-enrichment. An adventure, for you, is a mission: an opportunity to make a difference in the world, to advance the cause of The Vestry or hinder the progress of evil, or preferably both. You have been identified as an agent Factorem can use in the world, so you might be sent on missions by The Vestry, either with an explicitly spiritual goal or to advance the agenda of your king or queen. Even if no one sends you, however, you go regardless—like a knight-errant, you seek out any opportunity to do battle with evil. Magical evil is your true foe. Spellcasters, the undead, possessing devils, rampaging demons—you can slay these foes without hesitation or qualms. By their mere existence, they corrupt the world; by eliminating them, you help to make the world a better place.
