Parsley Krose

Parsley Krose is a character in Petty Squabble.

Weapons/Abilites
Parsley is armed with a blessed dagger, a small crossbow, some assorted holy symbols, and at any given time, about six small breadsticks and a large loaf of French bread.

Which brings us to his abilities. Parsley can create bread. He can make it out of any materials, including thin air, but it tends to taste like whatever he made it out of. Eating a roll created from air is essentially the same as eating air, nutrient-wise; it's just easier to chew. He mainly uses this power for ammunition, or for emergency rations.

His typical strategy is to create small breadsticks for use as crossbow bolts. (On occasion, he's been known to create pretzels for this purpose.) He also keeps a large loaf of stale French bread handy as a makeshift club. Sometimes he'll create a loaf in a particular shape, but it's mostly for stylistic reasons.

Description
Parsley is a tall, scruffy, middle-aged man in a longcoat and a hat. He carries his weapons - including bread-crafted ones - inside his coat, but he can take them out quickly when he needs to.

In terms of personality, Parsley is somewhat cynical, but nonetheless helpful. He feels it's his duty to slay demons to help people, not simply because of the grander battle between heaven and hell.

Biography
Parsley was born into a somehwat wealthy family. His powers manifested at an early age; when he started filling the house with bread, his parents began to worry that he was demon-possessed.

They hired a demon hunter to investigate. He soon realized that the boy was under no demonic influences, and told his clients as much. Unfortunately, the Kroses did not believe his explanation, questioned his competence, and decided hire another demon hunter, one who he recognized as being ruthless.

Fearing for the innocent child's life, the hunter abducted him before fleeing town. He trained Parsley in the ways of the demon hunter, realizing that his unique ability might be useful in the battle against evil.

Forty years later, Parsley Krose was renowned as the best demon hunter on the continent. He had also learned a thing or two about making real bread, because everyone needs a hobby.

It was this reputation (as a demon hunter, not a baker) which led him to investigate rumors of a demon in a small, secluded town. Based on reports from travellers passing through the region, he suspected the demon had the power to trap its victims in illusions, leading them to act very strangely.

Shortly after he arrived in the village to begin his investigation, he was summoned to take part in the Petty Squabble - and given the fact that he was chasing a demon of illusions, it seemed only logical to presume that was the cause of his sudden change of surroundings.
