Brother Vitus & Brother Maur [TOA]

A new illuminator becomes a part of an abbey after something horrible caused his original monastery to shut down. With him, he brought a book full of heretical texts that intrigues one of the translator scribes, who caught the illuminator reading it. Now together they seek and practice heresy, as desire and love is slowly blooming between them. Their character profile

I’d be such a good monk if it wasn’t for the agnostic thing

Heya, I've been following you for some time already and am infatuated both by your funger art and your monk OCs!! Asking out of curiosity: what exact monk order do your OCs belong to (if you have outlined that of course)? Also, you mentioned that one of your OC's stigmata were not real; did you mean he is hallucinating them or is there something more? Thx for your time and keep up the good work, your Valteil is the best pathetic wet cat out there💕

Thank u!!! They're Benedictines ^_^ And Rodolf lore is that he's the abbot of the monastery and basically thinks that he's THE CHOSEN ONE and God's favourite because of the stigmata on his body that supposedly magically appeared when he was a child.

Errrm well the truth (that he doesn't know) is that they were all inflicted on him by his family when he was a little kid because they thought that having some divine family blessing would grant them a lot of money/favor/power etc. So he was basically told he was some special miracle child and paraded around different villages and churches for people to see like a kind of living relic. And he's too traumatised to remember any of it so he does genuinely just believe everything is real and he's god's number one special-est soldier and that humanity's salvation may or may not rest on his shoulders. Very normal guy.
