Character Background
The Priest who's trained to eliminate Imposters. The Monks specialize in the Holy Fist technique that was created by Michael and improved by Wolfgand Beonarr. They attack, counterattack, and evade from their enemies with speed and practiced ease, often leaving them too stunned to realize what just happened. Also, unlike other Priests who physically swing their Giant Weapons, the Monks keep them thrust into the ground and tap into their hidden power. Teida Beonarr, one of the Four Archpriests known for his extraordinary punches, is the most famous of all Monks.
The Monk is a Priest whose talents lie in hand-to-hand pummeling. As he smashes his weapons into the ground, he creates a holy ring, within which his stats increase. The Monk is also highly trained in evasive techniques such as ducking and swaying, striking his floundering enemies with blessed force.
The belief in God being a wise and merciful savior brings rest to most people... yet to those who thrive in darkness, it brings fear and dismay.
The world remains embroiled in conflict, as the Imposters spread their cursed infection throughout it. While many Imposters wear masks to hide their maniacal faces, they are not nearly thick enough to shield them from the Light of Divinity. As a result to encountering this holy light, many of the Imposters are left with their masks melded like wax upon their faces, hardened and fused to their skin.
The scriptures of God foretold the birth of a warrior who would suppress the Imposters, and bestow a blessing to the accursed. The suppression of such corrupted souls requires an iron will and indomitable spirit, enabling one to face evil while ignoring their own fear of failure.
As the order of the Monks refrained from becoming arrogant despite their growing power, God saw that they deserved a righteous blessing and guidance. And so it was foretold that their day would come, where they would spread like light throughout darkness.
Templar of God, with the power of the Holy Spirit at your disposal, you will bring punishment on the Imposters and become the protector of light to the weak.
'Templars' are god's advocates who have devoted their lives to punishing all imposters. Purposely putting themselves in rigorous training to become stronger, and to serve god's will. But as the number of imposters who died in their hands increased, their grudge and sadness seeped deep into their souls.
"They were once a being just like us... is annihilation really the only answer? How can we say we are different if we just kill endlessly?"
They started to question the very thought they had never a single doubt about, the thought that these people must be exterminated. They become confused and left on a journey to find answers to keep their mind at peace.
As the time passes...
some Templars became more focused on killing the imposters, some became even more enraged, some went through endless meditation and training, and some went out on a pilgrimage to understand the truth of everything.
After a long time, some 'Templars' returned with answers. It is not known what they saw or what path they had gone through. However, this was what said by them.
"We have finally understood god's will, and it has become our justice." The Templars who had returned knowing 'God's Intentions,' were determined and had a clear sense of duty, and they killed without hesitation.
They were truly beings that were willing to do anything for justice. Thus, people started refer to them as 'Justice.' They shall not only be known as god's advocates but people who understand and carry out god's true intentions.
Even in Lemidia Basilica there's a secret location open to few select high priests.
As visitors were few, there was not even a small light, but on the plain altar there was an object radiating golden light.
""This you see here is the Lemidios Constellation. Have you heard of it?""
""The Lemodios Constellation...""
The priest next to Magar Rosenbach repeated what he said and nodded.
""A halidom containing the divinity of Lemidios. It is said to be first used by Wolfgand Beonarr, one of the holy five.
When Magar was speaking the Lemidios Constellation seemed like a swarm of light, but it had suddenly taken another form.
Having noticed that, Magar asked.
""How does it look now?""
""... Like a wedge.""
""A wedge. A fitting shape for someone like you, piercing the evil with your own two hands.""
When he said that, golden light began flowing out of the Lemidios Constellation.
The overflowing light approached the priest in front of the altar and engulfed him.
It was merciful and warm, yet powerful enough to defeat any evil,
""Only a few recognized high priests are allowed to use it with god's permission. But...""
The divinity of Lemidios shining in golden light began gathering on one of priest's hands.
""You are already worthy, no?""
""This is...""
And on his fist lay the Lemidios constellation.
The gauntlet in the shape of a wedge fit like it was part of his body.
As he asked himself what he should do with it, the gauntlet began shining again and returned to where it was.
And as the confused priest looked at his empty fist and the altar, Magar spoke to him.
""Do not be disappointed. You've been granted his permission just now.""
""But how...""
""If you follow his will and serve his justice... Then anywhere and anywhen, his grace will protect you.""
Magar spoke, then turned around and began walking out.
The priest looked at the warm light that seemed to look back into him, then chased after Magar on his way out.
