Ansgar the priest (NPC)

## Appearance

Ansgar is one of few westerners in the Dome. He is tall and gentle faced, and his boyishly open expressions make him look years younger than his 40s.

He wears very humble clothes. Neat shirts and suit pants mostly, always accompanied by a collar. His outwear is a ankle length coat with big pockets. These pockets are usually stuffed with simple snacks to give to the poor he passes.

## Personality

Ansgar is good, there is no other way to describe it. He had a loving and normal childhood with his adopted family, and now he wants to spread the warmth to the needing people of Eden who were less fortunate.

But it's not easy being the righteous spokesperson of a good god and he often ends up being used by the people he tries to save.

## History

Ansgar was born in Amiens, France, but was quickly abandoned on the stairs of a local church of the Holy Blessing of Salvation. The priest there, used to children of the poor being dropped off, adopted him into a big family with many children of the same situation. Ansgar learned from an early age that the faith he was adopted in was goodness and salvation, and made it his life mission to help other people to see the way.

Ansgar came to Eden in the beginning of 2107. The Domed city had made quite the headlines and while on a mission to Korea, he decided that Eden needed him more than the churches back in France. So he came. Finding the church there in shambles, he knew he was in the right place to make a difference.

But will he succeed in the worst city in the world?

## Relationships

### Eyeless

* Ansgar has kept his eyes on the Forsaken for a while, but not even his will to help people can make him go to them.
* He has no choice though when the infamous leader seeks him up himself to demand he holds a funeral for his pet android Darcy. Ansgar refuses, because he doesn't believe that androids have souls.
* Eyeless stabs him and then lets someone hold him at gunpoint to force him to do do the funeral anyway.

### Sage

* In the months following Eyeless' funeral escapades Ansgar was approached by Sage inside of the abandoned church with what sounded like a request to have it.
* After a brief, very confusing conversation Ansgar figures out that he is being threatened by what is now a slightly terrifying twink.
* A brief struggle ensues and now having his pride severely damaged the priest now finds himself homeless, the cult having now taken over the church.

### Siréne

* Ansgar was overjoyed when a man that also spoke fluent french entered the church. He was less overjoyed when he realized that it was a prostitute.
* After Ansgar gets thrown out of the church by a cult of cannibals, Siréne offers him some food and shelter. The now former prostitute owns several sinful establishments and a gang of his own, but after days of starvation and lack of sleep Ansgar is desperate enough to visit Guns&Girls for a meal. He regrets it after seeing more bare skin in one hour than he has seen in his entire life.
* He regretted even more trying to get the staff to confess and get their sins forgiven when at least five people begun their confession with "Forgive me daddy, I've been naughty".

## Trivia

* Ansgar is based on Saint Ansgar, Apostle of the North, which was a real person in the 800s. He was tasked with converting the Viking pagans who still believed in Asatro into Christianity.
* Ansgar's religion is a mixture between a lot of religions, so despite being inspired by a Christian saint, he is not a Christian per say. He belongs to the made up church of Holy Blessing of Salvation which combines elements from many religions.
