Items:
Teddy bear: Dubbed Care Bear: A teddy bear with a pull string that responds to whatever is said before it talks, speaking in a heavy Brooklyn accent; however it has one additional property. It has the ability to heal wounds of the injured, and heal the sick. It may cure any major wound (one broken bone or deep cut like a gutting wound) or any number of minor wounds three times a thread. It also has on peculiar ability. If left in contact with someone for two posts, the bear has the ability to resurrect them from the dead on the third post. The bear has also become animate and moves about freely, running after the priest of whom he’s stuck with.
He also carries a small bible and a Rosary of which to pray with. Around his neck is a wooden cross crudely fashioned as the worker had no clue as to what in the world Snew was talking about.
Abilities:
AOL Copy Ability – Valentine upon hearing about all the people that could potentially take abilities from him decided to purchase this nifty ability for the four easy payments of 19.95. Upon actually testing it he realized that like anything AOL makes it is complete and utter crap. Therefore it does the opposite of what it promises and GIVES one of HIS abilities to a person by mere touch. This isn’t permanent (no one is that lucky) the duration of this last till end of quest or battle.
Unshakable Faith – Being a priest Valentine Snew has faith in his god. This faith however is misplaced in the world of Althanas. Still, however, this faith does allow him to do some amazing things, such as stand up to bullies regardless of consequence, or believe he will get through a tough time because his Lord is always with him. Also by sheer virtue of being a priest, Snew is immune to any Catholicism based attack.
Confession – Following in the vein of the Catholic Church Valentine Snew can forgive people for their confessed sins, and unless the sin is especially dangerous to the confessor, he will keep it confidential.
Roman Catholic Guilt Trip – Valentine Snew can begin preaching, instilling guilt into his makeshift congregation. Anyone who hears him preaching will feel nagging guilt. Lightly at first, but steadily, this will become more intense, and deeper guilt. Until in the end the person will break down sobbing. This however takes awhile, as Snew much preach for consecutive posts. Those wishing to harm the priest to relieve themselves of the guilt will only find it deepens. That is, unless they’ve donated to the Catholic Church, then they are absolved of guilt.
Collection – Any donation of money towards Valentine Snew’s church will immediately grant immunity from Snew’s Roman Catholic Guilt trip. This immunity lasts until Snew has left them and met with them at a later time. (Read: for the entire thread)
Baptism – Valentine Snew has the ability to Baptize unbelievers. This has no true mechanical effect, other than allowing them to take part in the Eucharist. It does however exert a powerful urge to attend mass twice a year, during the spring and winter, for a session no longer than an hour.
Sermon – Perhaps his only truly noteworthy ability, Snew has the ability to preach it. He will often shout out about how the bible still applies to today and attempt to cow his sheep, successfully herding them into the afterlife that the good Lord Jesus died to give them. While he may be loud and boisterous during these sermons, he certainly cannot keep his audience, as they tend to doze off, no matter how loud he is. People listening to his Sermon will slowly become bored and drowsy unless doing something particularly adrenaline pumping. If taxing work (such as pushups or pushing/lifting) is being preformed this ability only seems to fatigue the person faster.
Eucharist – Should he be in clerical robes and with bread and wine, Snew becomes particularly annoying. He will hold a mass and begin blessing the bread and wine. Upon doing so he will begin to parcel it out to people, only if they are baptized and as he’s the only one capable of it, he remembers every convert he’s made, all none of them so far. Until he has completed his task Snew will be surrounded by people, and hard to target unless people wish to come through crowds, crowds that may become angered and exert mob justice upon their would be attackers.
Inability to eat - Thats right, the walk to radasanth messed up Valentine. He no longer needs to eat or drink. It seems that at least something good happened to the poor fellow.
History:
Valentine grew up with rich parents and a caring loving family environment. Every day he would be doted upon and given anything he could possibly conceive. He was well respected in his school, and even more so in the sports he would play. Yes, Valentine was the perfect boy growing up, and living America’s dream.
As he grew up in life he had an older brother that would always be there to horse around with and play with. His brother would always be there for him in times of trouble. One day however Valentine found out that he had been betrayed, for his brother wanted him, in a sexual way. This being found out he did the only thing he thought logical, he joined the Catholic Church.
He went through the Seminary at a normal pace being only of normal intelligence. As he realized the hardship of not being under his parent’s wing he grew in his faith for the lord. It was then that his faith was shaped and he would be unshakable in that faith. Upon exiting the seminary Father Valentine Bogart Snew would be the epitome of the Catholic Church in both blind faith, and lack of for sense.
One day however, he came into the possession of a strange and wondrous object. It was his teddy bear Care Bear. It looked like Grumpy Bear from the Care Bear TV show, but it seemed to be a bit more grumpy than usual. Picking up the object he realized it had a pull string that would activate a mechanical voice box.
“I wonder why anyone would let something like you go,” He said as he pulled slowly on the draw string. When he let go he was amazed at the reply he got.
“Some bitch didn’t like the fact I gave her kid gambling advice, and to think most people would charge for it!” The bear said.
“Oh dear god, what is this thing?” Valentine said as he pulled the string.
“I’m a ****ing Care Bear doll!” It said as the string drew back into the voice box.
“You watch your language!” The priest said scolding the bear and pointing a finger at it. He then realized that the bear wasn’t talking unless he pulled the string, and he had just scolded a teddy bear.
Bracing himself the priest pulled the string yet again, “Ok, I’ll watch my language, if you buy me. Otherwise I’ll make sure to **** up the next brat that buys me!”
“Fine it’s a deal,” The priest said taking the doll to the counter. He was shocked when he got it for fifty cents and a promise to never return it to the shop. Upon walking outside the pawnshop he looked ponderously at the bear. Little did he know slowly the town of San Francisco was melting away and being replaced by the hustle and bustle of Radasanth. Upon looking up from the bear he was surprised to see that an elf was shouting at him.
“Watch where you’re going you stupid human!” The elf said before he stormed off not waiting for an apology. The priest was surprised at the outburst and checked his wrist watch.
“The anime con isn’t for another week. Why on earth is there people walking down street like it’s a convention?” He muttered to himself.
Personality:
Valentine is completely abhorrent of needless violence. As such the mere sight of blood causes him to pass out. He is extremely friendly, and has this complex that he must “Convert all non-believers”. He’s like your typical priest, easy to get along with, just don’t mention religion.
Appearance:
Coming in at 175 pounds and 5’6” he’s pretty much you light weight typical basketball player turned Priest. He is however wearing black pants made of linen with a black shirt made of linen and a white collar made of plastic. His shirt is a short sleeve shirt with a pocket over his heart
