Name: Henry Hunson

Sex: Male

Age: 31

Class: Priest
Faith: Hjwa the God of Death
(full name is Hjwaomoeds)

Race: Human

Description:
Henry is a reserved, boring man who prefers to go with the flow, but has a kind heart, particularly for the sick and suffering. An orphan raised by his church, Henry believes that life is a gift to mortals which should be spent blissfully and meaningfully.

His duty as a travelling priest of death is to ensure smooth transition between life and the (highly bureaucratic) afterlife, and extinguish the existence of twisted, unnatural life. As such, Henry absolutely detests the undead.

When the time comes, Henry will perform his duty to bring souls to the afterlife without hesitation. He would prepare a ritual, and then executes a quick & painless death, often with the use of a poison. If this is not possible, Henry would arrange for a post-death ritual. Even those who are to be resurrected are to be "pre-packaged", so most of the afterlife paperwork can be settled early. Only in emergencies where Henry is in danger would Henry skip the ritual, in which case he must either return to the body later or atone for it if he fails to return.

Faith (Click to View)

Henry is an agent of the god of death, Hjwaomoeds(Hjwa).

Dealing with death is no easy task of simply reaping the due and letting them stay in the afterlife. With milleniums worth of creatures dying - and more to come until the apocalypse - each queueing up with mountains of paperwork, it is no wonder that the afterlife is a large bureaucracy that has made Hjwa a fast-talking, impatient and sarcastic god who hates his job. He can't just start the apocalypse to end it all however, so he has to deal with it.

Upon discovering that mortals can "pre-pack" a soul for the afterlife, Hjwa decided one day that he could make his work complete itself. Therefore, he started his own religion - the Church of Hjwaomoeds. His priests would scour the world and perform "pre-packing" rituals to speed up afterlife entry, search and destroy those unauthorized to live... and reduce world population by discouraging the creation of babies. Less babies, less paperwork.

Mortals are eventually marked for death because living beyond the natural maximum leads to a cursed life, which would create major problems for the world and get the other gods mad at Hjwa, and even more paperwork. Undead and other unnaturally created creatures lead a cursed life as their body, soul and lifeforce have been twisted by perverse powers - therefore they are hated by Hjwa and are to be eliminated. In contrast to raising undead, Hjwa permits other necromantic abilities such as resurrections since it restores a mortal fully without major spiritual/lifeforce alteration, as long as he is not marked for death.

Hjwa Priests are chaste and encouraged to practice celibacy and to avoid alcohol, in fear of causing a lapse of judgement or potential room of error leading to the creation of babies. They are most commonly found during funerals or in death-stricken areas. They are promised a promotion in the afterlife where they would take on more fun jobs like hell tormentors and grim reapers, along with other perks, as opposed to being a slave to paperwork. As long as the priests perform necessary "pre-packaging", get rid of unnatural lives and not make babies themselves, Hjwa is happy.
