Love
Love is the name given to an assassin serving the Caliginous Church. Offered to the Church alongside his twin brother by their parents in an exchange for their freedom from servitude, Love and his brother Innocence were trained from a very young age to serve as killers for hire under the eternal service of Mother Meness. Now operating under a C-Rank, Love has solidified himself as a formidable killer and deadly assassin, devout in the teaching of Menessis and fiercely loyal to the Church's teachings.
Now, Love aspires to reach higher. He desires to push further up the hierarchy of the Chruch and prove his love for Mother Meness as an Archbishop, no matter the cost to his body or his mind. For within the embrace of The Mother, Love has found his namesake, which he has grand plans to spread across all of Arethil until the Menessis is the only undeniable truth.
Appearance
Love is tall, pale, and somewhat gaunt in appearance. Wild and unkempt black hair seems to sprout from his head like roots, and his blue eyes have an unsettling emptiness to him that chills even the most hardheaded and stalwart. Usually, Love wears a long black coat with leather wrappings underneath, shying away from anything heavier lest it hamper his flexibility or the use of his Shadowkin. He sports many tattoos, most of them performed by Innocence, as the two of them enjoyed expressing themselves on one another.
Skills and Abilities
As a trained assassin, Love is extremely stealthy, perceptive, and deadly with his both his hands and small blades and bows. His personal favorite tools of his trade are thin wires which he ties to his hands, which are very versatile in their use, from strangulation to pulling things from a distance and setting intricate traps.
Of course, Innocence is not entirely lost, now dwelling within the vast shadow of Love, emerging to serve him in times of great need. Even today, the twin brothers refuse to allow death to meet their other half. The powerful bond between them has given Love a considerable amount of control over his Twin's shadow, and he uses it quite often, a deal more than is the usual.

Personality
Despite his profession, appearance and history, Love is very pleasant and polite to those around him. Even to those he is meant to kill, his demeanor is quite personable. This goes double for other followers of Meness, with whom he considers himself closely tied to through shared experience and like-mindedness. Love is extremely devoted to the religion of Menessis, praying and professing his love for Mother Meness for at least two hours each day. Any sins that he must commit are justified, as they are in her name.
Even so, any of those who've worked alongside him would tell you of the silent maelstrom of rage that lies just beneath the surface, waiting to explode into violence befitting the assassin he is. His calm and kind personality only seems to make his fits of anger more terrifying, a smile upon his face and a song on his tongue even as he rips the life from any unfortunate target he may have.
