Geze

Aggressive Outspoken Reliable

"Just because I don't fear death, doesn't mean others don't."

Geze is a noble born inkdrian but above all else, they are a cleric in the name of Clades. A pagan god of not only death but also the re-birth that comes with it. A natural cycle that Geze stands behind a full 100%. Yes both his upbringing and beliefs paint a lot of his personalty, it also doesn't explain certain things. For starts being born a woman and turning against the body that was gifted to him from their god is a big one against his god. Their violent streak and aggression certainly one that goes against the noble upbringing.

In the end though, Geze is somebody who wants to proof himself to the world, proof that they are strong and can do amazing things without being brought down by any and everything that is against him in this world, even if it means punching and kicking things. Though you will never truly see Geze rely too much on weapons and barehanded combat, naw they rely on spells and magic way too much. Up to the point where they might be leaning on that aspect a little to much even.

Personality

If you want an aggressive lose cannon, Geze is your guy. Aggression is something that Geze truly seems to struggle with and it seems to be one of their personal biggest downfalls. While yes, they can control their anger, they can not seem to slow and calm down once the anger has been released. They will stop at nearly nothing to get to their goal, even if it means maiming or killing something. He ain't scared to smash in a skull or two or three. He does release his anger and aggression into a progressive way though, by boosting his own confidence and heart to speak out and call out those that go against the law. Something which Geze holds 0 respect for. Mostly not if they aren't even remotely willing to repent and do something to show that they were sorry. It's types like that that really seem to irk Geze in any and all ways, there is no compassion for people like that.

He isn't all violence and judgement though. There is a quieter and softer side to the cleric, a side that only rarely seems to rear it's head. A side only shown to those he thrusts. There are a lot of underlying issues that he never been able to work out such as how his family turned against him. Not the whole transgender dealio, though the curse of his item certainly has given him a huge leap in confidence as the outside finally seems to match the inside. Even if Geze himself doesn't seem to fear death and dying, it doesn't mean that he is a fan of people killing themselves or offering themselves up. It's things like that that tends to weight heavy on his heart because while yes, he knows they will be reborn one way or another, it still is not the way of how things should go for it breaks the natural cycle. And the breaking of the natural cycle is not exactly something Geze is a fan off. It also goes the other way, he is not a supporter of artificially created lifeforms, they are not how things should be, those are not souls but imitations of it. Though what he does seem to accept a fraction more is anything along the line of robots/androids as they are just machines with a program, they are meant to listen and obey if you will.

They key to get him on your side is just to show good intentions, good morals, a smidgen of kindness and respect. If these are qualities you show to him, the chance is really back that he will reflect it right back to you. Show him friendship though and you will have somebody ready to run through the fire for you. Somebody that you can rely on and put your faith in to do the right thing, even if they would much rather just break somebodies spine. Perhaps it are traces of how he was raised for manners and such, or it just is the person he is. The lingering polite upbringing also makes it so that Geze in general speaks polite to strangers as long as they haven't done anything bad in their eyes. If they do fuck up, unleash the rage and take cover.

Appearance

Features

Geze is a quite tall inkdrian...Okay not the tallest ever but certainly tall enough to stand out. Added with broad shoulders and a proud posture it is enough to notice him among a crowd. Mostly with his normal cleric garb on.

Geze at the core doesn't have any special traits and is as common as it gets appearance wise for an inkdrian. No special markings, no speckled tongue, no thing with maybe the exception of their branches. Their branches, quite recently obtained, are closer to horns more so. This is due to their divine nature and being a closer to his god than nature.

Oh yeah there is also the fact that Geze has an extra eye on his forehead. It doesn't match the gradient he has and instead is a pale yellow, bright yellow and magenta. It tends to be kept closed and thus impossible to spot. But when casting spells or when his temper gets out of control, it is right there and open.

Outfits

Geze's main outfit is their clerical garb. With multiple layers it is hella comfy. The bottom layer is made up out of a cream turtle neck shirt with long sleeves and dark cuffs. The same holds true for the pants. Over this he wears a pair of leather dark brown boots and a tunic with an attached hood that carries the chest marking of his god. And to top it off he has two braided belts and a holy symbol where the hood comes together.

He does have a more...regal set of clothes as well. They are made up out of black pressed pants and a cream tunic combined with a dress shirt. Which is almost completely covered up but a cream ascot and a fancy coat of brown and a trim of dark brown and cream. It is paired with black dress shoes and brown shaded spats. Add a cream sash and a belt and you have a complete set. The only other thing he does is pull back his hair to appear a tiny bit more tidy and less of a mess.

Background

• Born to Alden and Ladon Anur as heir to their position
• Grew up surrounded by wealth and loving parents with very little to complain
• Was introduced to his father, Alden's, religion around the age of 7
• He was taught everything about his lord as well as manners and everything that little Geze would need to know for the future for when he truly would become the viscount of Goldcrest
• Things were fine but the puberty decided to be awkward and ruin stuff for as Geze's body developed, it brought for a lot of dysphoria
• It very much made little Geze realize that the female exterior didn't match the male interior at all
• Oh did he bring it up to his fathers and was pushed down for it. It was just some phase that they would grow out of
• He was understandably upset but being young and confused, there was a bit of believing in his fathers
• And to try and sooth his feelings he went to meditate and in the visions he saw, the large hands reaching out with words whispered of encouragement, was enough to spark not only their feeling it wasn't some phase but also the colors of his gradient setting in
• Things remained rocky around the Anur household as Geze kept trying to dress and be more masculine, much to the dismay of his father Alden
• Things came to a point where shouting became a regular occurrence and it broke Geze's last bit of patience of putting up with it
• He left in a fit not looking back at the sweet mature age of 16
• The first years on the road were rough, bouncing from city to city with severe insecurities that had grown to a massive size
• He truly was at his lowest in his travels when he reached the town of Eramoore
• Geze was low, insecure, uncomfortable in their own body and just felt like garbage
• Here he met a bard whom was preforming on stage of the inn and they struck up a conversation, learning her name was Waker Obin
• The way she talked to him, not being looked down upon, it added new fuel to the dying flame of positive inside the cleric
• On a stroll the two came across the scene of a crime, spotting a fleeing wizard
• Before the pair could report the crime, the townsfolk already were there, blaming the cleric because they were at the scene of the crime, they could use magic, flawless logic
• Into jail Geze was tossed which didn't last long before Waker swooped in to save the day and break him out of jail
• They would find the real culprit and put him to justice which they did, finding the wizard and exposing them to the town, mildly redeeming themselves
• But they took their leave from the town and traveled together for a while before finally parting ways
• Waker having left a big impact on the cleric, an impact that really had sparked confidence, a positive out look and a reason to keep their head up
• A state of mind that grew and grew as he continued traveling, standing tall and proud
• That was when his name reached the benefactors

Stats

Position of Privilege

Thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.

Channel Divinity (Cleric)

As an action, you present your holy Symbol and speak a prayer censuring the Undead. Each Undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Channel Divinity (Domain)

You can use your Channel Divinity to charm animals and plants. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. Each beast or plant creature that can see you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for 1 minute or until it takes damage. While it is charmed by you, it is friendly to you and other creatures you designate.

Lucky

You have inexplicable luck that seems to kick in at just the right moment. You have 3 luck points. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You can choose to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined. You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker’s roll or yours. If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are rolled. You regain your expended luck points when you finish a long rest.

Relationships

Waker Odin [ Party Member ] Right off the bat, Geze cares a lot about Waker. Like a lot, a lot. She gave him hope when he was feeling so bloody low by just being kind and showing some compassion at the time. It is something he is so thankful for, words can't really explain it. He is so happy that she is part of this team constructed by the benefactors. She is just, but in the right way. Not worried to get violent when somebody truly deserves it and ready to speak up when she is upset. It's also aided by feelings the cleric has been developing for her. Though currently is more feeling guilty towards her than anything else. He made such a giant ass of himself at the party and he truly regrets it. But currently doesn't know how to truly make it up to her.

Ferem [ Party Member ] Even having traveled with Ferem for a bit now, Geze can't entirely pinpoint what to think of him in general. The facts are though that he clearly has the group their backs no matter what when things get hairy. He also is really just in his actions and maybe a bit very much up tight about certain actions and such. Though it does seem that since their first meeting it has mellowed out a bit. Even with that, Ferem still is the person Geze wonders about the most. What the fuck is the hour, he heard the mentions but what is it? What is going on with his past that he seems so hurt over it at times? Honestly Geze wants to ask in the hopes to learn more but at the same time, does not want to pry in case it is a sensitive topic.

Nalewka Thistle [ Party Member ] Nalivka is bloody wild. In all the ways of the word basically. You never quite know how she will act and behave besides really blunt and to the point with no bullshit attached and it is glorious. She ahs proven herself over and over again to really be respected as a party member and somebody to rely on. Just not when things are a bit more sensitive and need to be handled with care, in that case Nalivka is not the person, but if you need shit done? Geze will absolutely turn to her.

Ladon Anur [ Father ] As it currently stands, Geze has a lot of conflicting feelings about this father. Because on one hand he still is furious for the rift that had happened when he was younger but at the same time. The fact that he did seem to genuinely care when they met up again...It sparked a sense of almost guilt over just never even attempting to get back in contact or anything. Mostly when the correct pronouns ended up being used without a flinch or anything. It really makes Geze wanna try and mend the tear between him and his parents.

Alden Anur [ Also Father ] Papa got him in touch with their god. It was such an important thing to Geze and it is one thing that he is extremely thankful for and always will be. What he is less thankful for is all the down talking he did specifically. Repeating that the whole trans thing was just some phase and slowly getting angry when it became clear that, no, no this was not some phase. Looking back on things, Geze truly believes that if Alden hadn't reacted as aggressive as he had and persisted, the tear would've never even happened between them.

Castiel Esmusel [ Unbeknownst to him; Fiancé ] He loosely remembers Castiel. It has been bloody 15-ish years since he last saw the other noble. And Geze vividly remembers how nervous and uncomfortable he seemed. Such a stark contrast between him and that skinny brother. The fact is though, he probably was one of his few childhood 'friends'. Friends being fairly lose due to how rarely they saw each other. Still, they both had insecurities at the time and he really was the best person Geze could talk to. Part of him feels bad for never reaching out to Cas since leaving home. Hopefully he is doing well out there.

Silvyx Esmusel [ Childhood Friend ] Sil was the nerdy and peppy kid that works on every-bodies nerves. Yeah sure he was smart and knew what he was doing. But lords he was one annoying child. The only reason Geze interacted with him was purely because of their parents kinda mushing all the kids together to entertain themselves. Geze doesn't hate him or anything, he really was part of his childhood. Honestly has no idea what he is up to these days anymore, just hopes he isn't that annoying kid anymore.

Mizuki Esmusel [ Childhood Friend ] Arguably the biggest gap age wise between her and the other Esmusel kids and Geze. Yet the they got along well enough. She really seemed to balance out her brothers, being a lot more generally happy and aiding people. But at the same time, there always was something about her that didn't sit entirely right with him. Ever since she was little and introduced to him. But it really took a nose dive when she started getting her colors. Like everything just got worse and worse. In the end, she unsettled him way too badly compared to when they had just met.

Asa Galen [ Unbeknownst, but not entirely unbeknownst to him, brother ] Things are a bit complicated here. Geze vaguely knows about Asa. I mean how can you miss spotting an entire pregnancy of your parent? Kinda really hard and nearly impossible really. 9 Months and than suddenly there was nothing. Even with Geze being just 8, it didn't sit right with him. Yeah he had asked his parents about it. But it was clear in their eyes and actions that lies were put forth. 'The baby was still born'. No it wasn't. There is more going on and if he gets back in contact with his parents and starts mending the tears, this will be one of the big mysteries he wants the details on.

Silver [ Benefactor ] Out of the two benefactors, Silver seems the one who is most to the point and tends to have most information and is able to bring that forth mostly. There are some split feelings regarding him. Because he seems kinda distant yet understanding. Scared but also wanting to get stuff done. But what sits wrong with Geze is that they are basically sending out strangers and kids to do their work for them while they stay safely on another planet. It low-key rubs him the wrong way.

Erin Laramie [ Benefactor ] The benefactor that seems to have most stake in the team taking out Reina. Where as with Silver a lot of the grips don't exactly apply to Erin. He understands why she is keeping a distance and is hiding away. He gets why she would rather hire people to deal with things over doing it herself. Getting kids to do scouting work. It just doesn't sit right. And after that little back and forth with Nalivka that apparently upset her...didn't she knew what she was getting into basically hiring Nalivka though?

Reina Laramie [ The big bad ] Geze tends to throw out the joke about wanting to kill people when they are asses. Maybe a bit too loosely but hey. But with Reina? He means absolutely every word of it after all the destruction and suffering she has caused. There is nothing she can magically do to make up for everything she has pulled off. How many inks died to her hands, how many more were mutilated beyond ever being able to recover? Why would people support her. Honestly he is so glad that Nalivka chopped her hand off and is keeping it. Must sting knowing that.

Clades [ Their god above ] There only is a fact of life and that is that we all die. But knowing there is a just god that will bring them forth in a new life brings a lot of comfort. Everything that Geze has been taught and experienced first hand has only strengthen his believe in the deity and what they stand for. Truly it makes Geze proud to carry some of the similarities and that he continues to aid him in this quest to bring justice.
