Name: Silius Apollos
Gender: Male
Tier: A tier
Class Magician
Personality: As he is a devout priest, he believes in his faith very strongly, with his most important goal in life being to spread the word of the God of Sasan.
His devoted attitude towards this is unprecedented, but he does not follow it blindly nor forces himself on others, rather he seeks to preach his word in peace, not seeking to actively convert others but to merely inform others of the truth of the White Rukh.
He is an extremely severe man, who takes his work very seriously. Not only must he preach to others, but he has to balance his workload as the head of a large religious organisation as well as the de facto landlord of several properties devoted to teaching.
Many of the buildings he has opened are dedicated to charitable causes, such as the homeless or the poor, as he believes all people should have equal chances, and that it is merely that which is outside of God's will who force it not to be so. Many would call him generous for this, but he just views it as his duty in this world.
He is also rather charismatic, being able to command the attention and power of a large establishment with many strong individuals, who all seem to hold him in high regard and have great respect for him.
Hair Color: White hair from his old age.
Eye Color: Light blue eyes.
Height: 178cm
Weight: 74kg
Appearance: Being an aged man in the later years of his life, Silius’ hair has whitened, with a few grey streaks running in parallel along. Unlike his time as a priest in Sasan, he leaves his head bare, revealing a small bald patch on the very top of his head. His eyes, a light blue like that of the sky, are in an almost constant stern expression.
He wears simple, plain white robes overlain by a thick silken band of fabric, that wraps around the waistline of the robes, underneath a red collared cloak with a small white cloth wrapped around his shoulders on top of that. In addition, a stole hangs on his shoulders, with the left end decorated with an ornately embroidered golden six pointed star and no fringing.
Rukh Alignment: White Rukh
Special Traits: None
History: Brought up in the Holy Kingdom of Sasan, Silius studied their teachings since he was very young; as his family required him to do. By taking on the mantle of a priest, he hoped to understand more of the teachings. And so he did, meditating however many hours a day to perceive the principles of the White Rukh, learning many different magical techniques as he did so. After many years of meditation, praying and lecturing, he decided to spread the word to the rest of the world. However, doing this would be in violation of Sasan's strict rules in relation to those who leave the kingdom. If he left the city, he would be exiled from Sasan forever.
He did not hesitate, and defied Sasan law to escape. His fellow priests gave him a safe route out, having sympathised to his point of view but were satisfied with their comfortable lives. With this newfound liberty, he took his time to venture round the various cultural capitals of the world, absorbing the different methods of worship, magical skills, and varying ideologies to consolidate his own faith and expand upon it. After many years of this, he set up an offshoot sect of Sasan's religion, which he formed by gathering the many like minded people that he met and worked with during his travels, most from a previous religious, and created a priesthood based on a fusion of Eastern meditative techniques and Sasanian prayer. His first destination (after the founding of this priesthood) was determined to be Reim, as they gave him the space to preach his word freely and to big crowds at that. After his first few speeches in the public forums, he managed to garner respect and admiration from the lower classes and sponsorships from the wealthy. Using this money, he set up an institute in a suburban area where he gave shelter to children with a poor background, or those who were orphaned. This gathered much support and gave him enough to sustain his institute. His resolve was such that he expanded his outreach into even Balbadd, building several more institutes.
