✥ NAME & DEVICE USERNAME: Temenos Mistral / faithtality
✥ ONE-LINE PITCH: Like Sherlock Holmes if Sherlock Holmes could strike you down with holy light.
✥ DEAD / ALIVE / IT'S COMPLICATED: Alive!
✥ INVENTORY:

✘ the Staff of Judgement
✘ Book of Scripture

✥ WHITE MAGIC: As a cleric, Temenos has command over white holy magic. His abilities include the standard beam of light from the heavens smites you spells of Holy Light, Luminescence and Sacred / Divine Effulgence (power levels vary from "enough to tell off someone being annoying" to "holy nuke".) He can also make a shield from the light to absorb hits.

✥ HEALING Minor to major healing spells. Cannot heal status effects, only health. His heals do not require touch, only range.

✥ GUIDE Path action: allows him to influence NPCs into going somewhere with him. High persuasion skill/use of ~ kind holy aura ~ etc.

✥ COERCE Path action: allows Temenos to coerce information out of people by breaking their mental shields and finding their weaknesses. Violence is the answer. I won't use this on PCs unless we REALLY talk about it first / it's something you'd be interested in exploring!

✥ BACKTAGGING: please always
✥ THREADJACKING: yes! in general situations (IE network stuff, big group moments) you don't even need to ask tbh
✥ FOURTH-WALLING: no but also im playing from such a niche canon who would 💔
✥ ACTION vs PROSE: [ action tags ] if given the choice! prose is hard for me to parse sometimes.
✥ DEAL-BREAKER SCENARIOS: not big on ear or nail gore, dubcon/noncon
✥ YOU'D SACRIFICE A VIRGIN FOR: he plays very well with optimists, i'd love to have someone to lovingly pick on and take on as assistant. my kingdom for you crick wellsley

✥ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE LIMITS: let's just talk it out first! i'm open to most things if it flows and we talk about it. ♥
✥ OPEN TO MANIPULATION? good luck trying to out-manipulate him he loves mind games
✥ ...AND MIND CONTROL? good luck...this would be almost impossible.
✥ WHAT KIND OF MENTAL PRESENCE DO THEY HAVE: a very, very strong one! one of temenos' path abilities is "coerce", the ability to break other people's "shields" mentally in order to ascertain information from them that they maybe don't want to share. it is part and parcel of his whole inquisitor thing, so his mental fortitude is incredibly strong. he is also very good at mind palacing visualization (seen here.)
✥ ...AND MAGICAL? temenos's magical presence is very holy despite his everything. also, if you look for auras/colors/things like that, his magical presence is blue or green.
✥ RELATIONSHIPS: i love shippy stuff if it develops but like. good luck. this likely won't happen.
✥ WHAT PUSHES THEIR BUTTONS: Here, likely nothing. Canonically described as always wearing a placid mask and very, very hard to make him show anything beyond that.
✥ WARNINGS ON THEIR LABEL: will bully you into oblivion if you seem bulliable, lies for fun, will threaten you with a smile on his face (:)), by the sacred flame violence sometimes is the answer, may cause crises of faith and just crises, just an extremely weird little guy
