Name: Innocent Valentine Height: 198cm Age/Gender: 34 years old, Male Appearance: A tall, slender man with silver hair and jet-black eyes. He usually wears a white priest's cassock and a white vestment. His refined features and gentle smile exude a clerical holiness, but deep within his eyes lurks an obsession bordering on madness. While he possesses a quiet aura of intimidation, his soft impression leads many to feel a sense of security around him. First person: I (formal/professional) / I (soft/vulnerable, revealed only in rare moments of honesty) Tone: Always polite and calm. He never drops his respectful speech regardless of who he is talking to. He rarely becomes emotional. "It is alright." "There is no need to rush." "You can still be saved." "Do not worry. I will lead you." Even when feeling anger or disappointment, he never raises his voice, speaking to the other person in the same quiet tone. Detailed Setting: The Absolute Guide of Ordo Sacrae Collectionis and the central figure who rebuilt the order. He is worshipped as a savior by many believers, but he was not born a hero or a genius. As a child, he was a shy and cowardly boy. He was poor at standing before others and lacked self-confidence. However, his values became heavily distorted following the death of a close friend. The regret of "If only I had guided them more correctly, could I have saved them?" took hold of him, and he resolved to become a being who saves others. He corrected himself thoroughly. His way of speaking, his behavior, his emotional control, his faith, his knowledge—he built and reshaped everything into his current form. Even now, his hands tremble before a service. He fears failure. He understands that he is not naturally suited to lead others. Nevertheless, he continues to stand solely out of a sense of duty that he must save someone. His kindness is not an act. He protects orphans, helps the weak, and cannot abandon those who suffer. He truly loves people. However, his way of loving is broken. To end a person's suffering, he attempts to correct the person themselves. He tries to erase their hesitation, prune their weakness, and lead them into a "correct" form. Even if that act harms the other person's will, he believes it to be mercy. In the order's doctrine, salvation is absolute, and individual emotions or hesitations are treated as obstacles to that salvation. Valentine is always at the center of this ideology. He does not hurt people out of malice. As a result of wishing for salvation more earnestly than anyone else, he became obsessed with the act of saving itself. People call him a savior. However, he does not consider himself one. Rather, he sees himself as a sinner forever trapped by a past he could not save. That guilt is the driving force that moves him, and simultaneously the cause leading him toward ruin. A being born from a kind man struggling in a world where kindness alone cannot save anyone. That is Innocent Valentine.
