Writer Grapple Fiend Created on Avatar Shepherd of Lost Souls by Efflam Mercier

Absolute devotion to an infant God drives this lost spirit to find others like them, who feel abandoned or aimless and to guide them into the flock of their deity. With each encounter their devotion grows deeper, with each touch of the divine their zeal stronger. The Shepherd of the Lost shuns no one, and they are eager to offer a helping hand.

Jiv'undus is at a glance a spirit, a terrifying entity of magic and death who appears extremely dangerous. A closer inspection reveals a corporeal thing, wearing clothes of substance and holding a staff that is all too real. Their build is lithe, and with each step their essence seems to escape from the gaps in their clothing giving the effect that Jiv'undus is always standing in a light fog.

The staff they hold is short, no longer then a torch with a glowing green orb trapped in the top and emanating a soft light which beats back the shadows of darkness as well as any fire. Gripping the staff is a 'hand' made of a green energy, it's form a flicker and seeming to trail up and down the staff's length like smoke. Their other hand is the same mind numbing green, it's fingers a wispy outline.

Hidden beneath the dark hood of it's black attire is a 'face' of green, rolling and changing constantly and pulsing each time Jiv'undus speaks, the soft light of it's substance seemingly condensed where it's 'face' should be. 'Feet' of green smoke are wrapped in bits of cloth, as if to cushion and protect what could not possible be of any substance. But of substance it is, Jiv'undus' body weight displaces the ground below it's feet, it's hands can touch and it's clothes are as real as any others. A spirit given shape, Jiv'undus is a unique and disturbing entity.

Abilities

• Corporeal Spirit - Jiv'undus is entirely corporeal, able to touch and be touched, having a mass equivalent to their height and build and a physical strength to go along with it. Their body tires, their mind requires rest and he can wounded, in most ways Jiv'undus is little different from a man. Where he differs is in the details, requiring no food or drink, being completely immune to temperature and having a body which can slowly over time regenerate should the wound not be 'fatal'. As an undead created by Divine Magic he even has a lifespan, which while greater then humans is not infinite.
• Divine Magic - A devotee to an infant God named Druilin Jiv'undus can harness the power of their deity, allowing him to cast magic. A young deity with a single devotee Druilin's power and domain are comparatively minor and as a result Jiv'undus can only use a limited number of gifts - these are Divination, Minor Blessings and Minor Wards.

Skills

• Shepherd of the Lost - Jiv'undus is an inherently gentle soul, filled deeply with love and devotion for their God and their cause. Their primary focus is the Shepherding of the abandoned, the lost and the aimless, to help those who feel abandoned by fate, family or circumstance. In this Jiv'undus is deeply motivated, if not a bit naive and inexperienced. He has a gentle voice, a soft touch and a sort of electric empathy which compels others to open up to him, to trust him and even to devote their selves to him and Druilin.
• Vanish - Jiv'undus understands that what he is isn't accepted by all, this with each encounter he has with a stranger could be their last - their fervor for their own God, or fear at their appearance may drive them to kill him. Extremely limited as a combatant Jiv'undus primary defense mechanism is their ability to 'hide' in almost any environment, using their unique body chemistry and surprisingly skill to shelter himself against anger.

Empathic is what Jiv'undus is deeply at their core, a creature which cares strongly for others, especially those they see as Lost and needing the love of Druilin. Single minded in their pursuit as Shepherd of the Lost they have little interest in those 'claimed' by other Gods, or whom are strong in their sense of self and their place in the world.

Beyond their devotion Jiv'undus is deeply curious, remembering nothing of their previous life and as such being no more then an infant in understanding the world at large much like their deity. This curiosity mixes itself into a potentially dangerous naivety, their desire to help others often outweighing their sense of danger or self preservation.

In total Jiv'undus is a good creature, faced with the impossible task of founding a Church and devotion to an infant God by gathering the Lost, the Abandoned and those Fate cast aside.
