[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7873909, member: 6855204"] Josiah Jones was a Lawman, a bounty hunter of sorts in the outskirts of civilization, where the law wasn’t enforced as it should be. He became frustrated with the larger cities, as the worst of criminals always seemed to get away with their crimes. On the border towns, after catching a particularly difficult bounty, Josiah found an ancient structure that wound up being a portal to the Gates of Limbo Infiri. There, he met Infiri, the God of Judgement and Ruler of the Underworld. Infiri is considered the most powerful, and feared, god in his pantheon. He rules Limbo Infiri, the land of judgement on those stained with evil. He is a fair god. Not evil. But not kind. Those who enter his Gates, be they god or mortal, never leave. Josiah wanted the power to bring criminals to justice. Infiri granted that power. Josiah Jones was wreathed in fire, and when his cries of agony faded, he was reborn. His hair and irises glowed softly, like embers in a cooling fire. When cut, his blood seems to be on fire. He stood before his god, an agent of judgement. Gatekeepers are known in his world, and are well respected. Gatekeepers must follow the Law of Infiri. They do not harm the innocent. They only kill in either self defense, or when they are absolutely certain of their victim’s guilt. Ignorance is no excuse to Infiri. When a Gatekeeper kills, the soul of their victim is sent straight through the Gates of Limbo Infiri, into judgement. To send an innocent soul there is to blaspheme the God of Judgement. The power is not taken away from the Gatekeeper, as their power is granted in their transformation, not channeled from Infiri, but they will be marked. Other Gatekeepers will be sent to find them. Because this is well known, if a Gatekeeper chooses to kill someone, be it beggar or king, almost all law enforcement in every nation looks the other way. Whoever they killed had it coming. The last thing they hear is the words of the Gatekeeper: “Welcome to the Gates of Infiri.” Josiah Jones was human, but is now a Fire Genasi Fiend Pact Warlock. His Eldritch Blast is in the form of an Infernal Revolver that he can create in his hand. This is just fluff. It’s just an Eldritch Blast, it just looks like a revolver. When he kills, his Dark One’s Own Luck ability grants Temporary Hit Points. When Trmporary Hit Points are damaged, I fluff it to look like he heals that damage immediately. So if he has 5 temp HP, and gets stabbed for 4 damage, then to the onlooker, the stab wound lights on fire and closes up. All of that backstory was created by my old DM. It was part of his home brew campaign. He wears a duster and cowboy hat. Cause reasons. [/QUOTE]
