Name: Roland Vandenberg and Arrogance
Gender: Man
Race: Human
Profession: Theurgic Busybody
Description: Tall, thin, with blond hair often combed to the side and blue piercing eyes, and high cheekbones. He is often in a fine black Victorian suit, with grey vest, white dress shirt, and wide blue tie. In inclimate weather he’ll throw on a large black double-breasted coat and on both sunny and rainy days he doffs a wide brimmed top hat. Otherwise he keeps his coat and spare clothes in side bag.

Roland is a very prideful and argumentative man, and yet all at once is a bit of a posh and dainty fop. He is frequently consumed by the state of his appearance and while he does not abhor violence, he is prone to trying to talk someone into submission if at all possible.

He was at one time a local politician and educator of a reasonably sized town. He lived his life with argument and conversation and believed a few well placed words could solve any problem, so when he took all he owned to try to move to a larger venue he was surprised that the bandits that robbed him weren’t responding to his totally valid arguments.

Angry at the world for stating he was wrong he attracted a spirit of arrogance, who claimed for just a few motes of his energy he could add a bit more BITE to his words. Roland being both petty and bitter accepted without any hesitation, and has since been corrupted by his power and intruding into anything that happens to cross his path.

Abilities: Arrogance is a spirit of well arrogance, using Roland’s own as fuel it adds a bit of force to his arguments and accusations allowing him to use words to parry, block and strike like weapons of their own.

Wall of Arrogance: Roland suffers no creature ignore his criticism, with a few well placed words about why he is better than someone else it creates a visible gap between the two of them made up from Arrogance’s power and Roland's will. He needs to criticize someone to make it happen, so a wall made for one person won’t work on another unless he is able to figure out a statement that sweeps over them both. It is also not indestructable, and tends to be weaker if his statement isn't true.

Sometimes Words Hurt: Roland attacks with his words, throwing insults at the enemy that are shaped and empowered by their own emotive response. A blunt truth that is practically all Roland hits like a fist, a remark that actually hurts someone’s feelings cuts like a blade, and a statement that genuinely hits the heart of someone emotionally pierces like a spear.

Gods of Fashion and Haircare: Arrogance can naturally repair, clean, and manipulate Roland’s outfit and hairstyle as necessary to allow him to maintain the appearance that he considers pivotal to maintaining his fragile sense of superiority.

Roland’s power thus works best against people who he can easily be critical about, and whom are used to responding to insults with a hot head. His greatest weakness is a well dressed and socially capable opponent, but then perhaps they might be willing to have a REAL debate.
