Nathaniel of Salem

Nathaniel of Salem The Good Priest ♱ p ☩ CHARACTER DESCRIPTION ☩ ‘When all goes wrong, turn to a Salem’ is an old saying often heard in Western Thanalan. Nathaniel is one of those Salem. A long line of thaumaturges hailing from Salemtaza’s End, an old quay razed by the Calamity. Known for his deeds as a Priest of Nald’thal, and renowned for his extraordinary candor and sharp tongue, the man is a Royalist. Often referred to as "Father Salem", Nathaniel is good at what he does, and does what he considers good. He is often seen going the extra mile for his people’s sake. Too tall to only bear Midlander blood, too broad and muscular to be only a mage, Nathaniel towers over most of his kin (Midlanders and solely Midlanders, according to himself), at six fulms and three ilms.

Always gives gil to those who need it when he can--hells, I even found work in the city thanks to him. What do you mean, now I owe him? I guess I kinda do, but..." ─ Ul'dahn refugee. "Mr. Salem taught my son how to read and write. And he asked for nothing in return, although being so busy! It's not the first time he's helped us. This man is a blessing of Nald!" ─ Single mother, Drybone. "He's very religious. But he is not the kind to shove it in your face, you see what I mean? He is very open-minded. It's pleasant. He always considers others as his equal. Unless you're a Mhigan. I can't blame him though, they've been plaguing the city-state of Ul'dah for a long while. They cost us so much..." ─ Dunesfolk merchant. "A-ah...I always find myself staring...How embarrassing..." ─ Lovestruck priestess in training. ★★☆ UNCOMMON RUMORS - Use sparingly, or ask before using or mentioning them IRP. "He isn't rich, this I can assure you. Heard he was often hired as an alchemist to pay bills. Priesthood hardly puts bread on the table. No, Nathaniel's greatest weapon is his network. In my circle, we all owe him a little something." ─ Thavnairian entrepreneur. "Nathaniel? Ah, yeah. His old man was a gifted thaumaturge, y'know. Like his father before him and the father of his father before him... But the kid's a bastard that lives in his father's shadow, y'know, although the man is gone...We haven't heard of him since after Carteneau." ─ Quicksand regular, allegedly Ul'dahn. "He's as beautiful as his mother, isn't he? Kid lived with us until he was eleven summers or so. Helen was the Jewel of the Thanalan, truly. The best concubine one could get, back then. Ah, but she's sick and retired, now, though she still lives with the girls. Little Nate loves his mother unconditionally, doesn't care about her status. He pays a fortune for her medicine, I heard." ─ Aged brothel matron. ★★★ RARE RUMORS - Ask before using, or mentioning them IRP. "Well, not really. I mean, the man is nearly spotless, but when you look closely, he's not too virtuous. He doesn't even bother hiding his relationships with courtesans. He runs from brothels to brothels. I even heard he favored younger girls out of the profession, just to tell you how immoral this creep is. Stay away from this asshole." ─ Unnamed street rat. "A NEW CALAMITY IS UPON US! FIRE WILL RAIN FROM THE SKY! THE SALEM'S KID WILL INVITE THE EVIL IN!! LIKE HIS FATHERS BEFORE HIM!! BELAH'DIA WILL RISE FROM THE SANDS!" ─ Old bearded and crazed man in Pearl Lane. "Two words. Black. Mage." ─ Black Market vendor. ◊◊◊ PLAYER CHARACTERS RUMORS - Feel free to add your own! "He's dangerous. The beautiful ones always are. Hopefully I can have him on my side." ─ Chantelle Rondelais, businesswoman. "A good friend of mine. He has been surprisingly generous and good humoured. I trust and respect him greatly, as a friend and colleague within the Order of Nald'thal." ─ Naoh'ra Ohndai, priest of Nald'thal. (Deceased) "A valued customer with racist tendencies. However, there is little fault to be found in his brand of racism, as it is directed at bands of impoverished, mouth-breathing chest-beaters." ─ Sigurd Sundsteigen, vintner and entrepreneur. "Do I like him? No. Do I respect him? Sometimes. Despite our differences, he and I share the same goal. It's just the means to the end that concern me." ─ Khyran Oisin, self-proclaimed Voidhunter. "Ah, Mister Salem. Indeed, I know the name. An intelligent man. Bluntly honest, which I can appreciate and respect, yet somehow remaining oh-so-polite when doing so. We've met only a handful of occasions, but I would not turn down opportunity to do so again." ─ Odette du Saoirse, contractual scout and musician. "In a word: brilliant. That man is brilliant. Mayhap some find his demeanor unkind, but I say such candor is an underappreciated act of altruism." ─ Vi Lindon, thaumaturge. "Nathaniel? Yes, I know him. I would say, do not play with fire without expecting a burn. It can be really alluring though..." ─ Nailah Quill, Wandering trader, student. "This man and I share more in common than he thinks, but with that being said, I look forward to... 'working' with him in the future." ─ Sebastian Taylor, expert conjurer. "Lord Nathaniel is very helpful! He is always going out of his way to help another; share his expertise. He knows a lot about corruption should you have need. I try to be useful in return, but he likes to help himself. One sun he might want more than plants." "He brings others up, too. Spent much of this Turn bringing people together and supporting their endeavors from what I saw. Including me. He makes people stronger and has proper expectations for it." "His skill with aether is masterful. He offered succor and board to me. One of many, I am sure. And unafraid of pain." ─ Jancis Milburga, Orator and conjurer. "Presence, elegance, and unmistakable dominance♪. Behind those steely eyes anything you know is coincidence♪! I love how he holds himself, and even though he's so private and cold, there's somehow something there that makes you want to impress him! Your heart for sure is good as gone!" ─ Mialee Moonbrook, Illusionist Bard. "What your own character thinks of this character." ─ Your character's name, and title/occupation (optional).
