For a maximum of one week post-revival, Emmrich will be an ANGEL. Blasphemers and non-believers alike are punished by his purifying flame; those who do not bend the knee in reverence are swiftly dealt with severely. His back sprouts gilded and radiant feathers, lending to a holy presence so bright and blinding none can admire him too long, lest their eyes begin to sear. During this week, he feels a divine calling towards lake to regain his stone. He knows, in the dregs of his consciousness, it will subdue his lust for absolute devotion. However —

Upon full resurrection, Emmrich finds a portion of his body looks and feels as though it still belongs in the grave. A piece of his flesh — perhaps his fingertips, forearms, the side of his face etc (player’s roulette choice!) — has taken on the distinct, unmistakable appearance and feeling of a corpse. The skin turns pallid and waxy, and carries an eerie, perfumed note of graveyard dirt, cold to the touch and with numb feeling. Underneath the light, the patch of flesh becomes almost transparent, the veins darkened to a shadowy hue — like ink bleeding through parchment, as if the blood has coagulated inside of his veins. Cutting into the soiled flesh will earn a pungent, decaying scent, and rotting blood. The body part never heals, and the infection spreads overtime towards the surrounding flesh. Emmrich can combat the spread and recover some good flesh, though never fully heal, by requesting aid from the Sibling in the form of a prayer. Being a priest has its perks!
