tall; standing at 5'11.

Build of Body: A nobleman, trained from a young age toward
Knighthood. Having then become a sailor, he has a rather well
trained upper body, suitable for fighting and the sailing work
he so often finds himself doing.

his iris. His other eye is always kept hidden 'neath an eyepatch.

his left arm being the worst of all, bearing a winding rope burn
from shoulder to wrist and a sewn up cleaving wound on his
forearm.

Distinguishing Features: Mathieu lacks a chunk of the bridge
of his nose and his right eye is covered by a leather eyepatch.

Hair: Mathieu's dark black hair has been left to grow long into
a standard sailor's ponytail, that hangs from beneath his hat.

PASSIVE ABILITIES​

[Curse of the Luckless] The Cursed finds themselves constantly unlucky. Losing track of small quantities of held money, keys, and other small trinkets held on their person. At unfortunate (but not combat-related) times, the Cursed will find themselves clumsily knocking into objects around them and find themselves off-balance. At the DMs discretion during events based around Luck and Adventure, the Cursed finds themselves terribly unlucky- This can be in the form of foes targetting the Cursed more often, for example.

[Providence] The blessed’s soul is warded by their faith in their Divine. If something tries to possess them, or they’re targeted by an effect that is functionally identical to possession, the blessed may roll a d6 save to resist it. If they roll their tier or lower on the d6, the possession fails and has no effect. They are additionally fully immune to any attempts to lay claim to their soul (in terms of it being trapped, imprisoned, or otherwise by some entity. This is not expected to come up much in RP, but exists for flavor). For curses or afflictions like Vyrism or Spiritblessed, they may resist it outright or optionally roll a possession save against it.

[Spiritual Weapon] By ritually praying over a weapon for one hour, the blessed may imbue it with some measure of the divine influence. The weapon will glow with the strength of torchlight in a color thematic to the divine, and intangible foes or foes that are otherwise immune or resistant to attacks from mundane weapons always take some amount of damage from successful attacks with it. Only one weapon may be imbued at a time. For bows, the effect applies to all arrows fired from it.

Salt lingered on the man's tongue as the sea spray swept up and the ocean crashed against the dock.
For as far as his eye could see, the world was his. The land, he'd claimed as an arrogant child. The
unending seas were claimed as an ambitious teen. It would bend to his will, as the world is so often
forced to do in the wake of unreasonable people. There was no doubt in him in moments like these.

How could doubt find root when, even in defeat, you succeed?

Success, to start with, seemed to come easy to him as though attracted by some otherworldly pull, as
if it were meant to be; or at least that was how he presented it. Transporting cargo across the world to
feed thousands? Selling ales for metals worth thrice their value? All of it seemed so effortless to him.
Nothing was sacred and nothing was without a price or without a clause.

Money was his focus; anything for the profits.

That was his life, wealth and work. He looked back on it now, his face contorting into some sort of sad
smile; for there were always times that he missed those days. He sighed heavily into the coastal breeze
and moved along the dockside. Despite their lengths being abuzz and teeming work labourers, workers
and cargo, Mathieu felt alone. It was always this way, he'd noticed. Without his friends nearby he didn't
see much point in all of his wealth, in all of his work.

What good is money if there is no one to spend it with?

He continued to walk along, allowing these thoughts to build up, to swell. He thought back to the days
that it all began; seeing them for the first time and offering his help- without any conditions- for the first
time. It brought a small, saddened mile to his face. A few slow falling tears fell from his eyepatch and it
made him laugh. He'd barely noticed that his feet had already taken him where he had intended to go. He
had found himself in his offices- and there they were; smiling back at him.
