Personality
fanatical . callous . self-martyr
Absalom, seemingly unwavering in his faith hides a horrible secret and a burden on his heart, his homosexuality, that he, oh, so wishes to conceal.
He aims to make his every decision with utmost care and genuinely tries to take care of others around him, but due to his rigid worldviews and internalized homophobia might bring it out in unjust ways.
At his heart, he still seeks love and can't deny his attraction to other males despite how much he denies it.
Premise
A young lapponian herder was raised in strictly religious, yet loving family. Growing up, he decided to step into priesthood and quickly gained loyal following in his community. Unfortunately his peaceful calling has expanded into hunting demons, after discovering that demons are indeed, real.
