Dad Meiks from 'Frailty'

’ There's nothing to be afraid of. We've been chosen by God. He will protect us. He's given us special jobs to do. We don't fear these demons, we destroy them. We pick them up one by one, and we pitch them out of this world. That's God's purpose for us. The angel called us "God's Hands.’

Powers:
God's Hand's Killer: Dad Meiks (Later Adam Meiks) believes that he has been tasked a mission by the angels to hunt down demons and those who are corrupt, killing them. Dad Meiks has been provided weapons and abilities to do so, or in fact simply insane and believes that he does. There is enough evidence to suggest that Dad and Adam Meiks are indeed empowered somehow, and that grants them the following abilities:
  • True Sight: Dad Meiks believes he has been given the ability to see demons in human form and things hidden from normal sight. Dad Meiks can be assumed to have Ex (20) True Sight* through touching the figure in question. Dad Mieks can also determine whether a person is good or bad through a handshake or physical contact.
  • Non-Detection: For some reason, while Dad Meiks is serving as the God's Hand Killer, he cannot be properly photographed or recorded. Dad Meiks stated that so long as the Meiks family is performing God's work, they will not be caught by the authorities, and this seems to have some validation. Dad Meiks is considered to have Rm (30) protection vs. recording or mechanical observation, and those who encounter Dad Meiks during the 'hunt' must make a Psyche FEAT vs. Am (50) intensity in order to recall specifics about the man. Case in point: Adam, who shares the same ability was actually approached by several different people whom knew his involvement and was not recognized despite meeting them earlier.
  • Gloves: The first of three tools 'provided' by the angels, the gloves prevent Dad Meiks from being discovered or influenced by demons, making him 'immune' to their effects. The gloves could provide Rm (30) protection from mind and emotional affecting abilities, as well as mystical protection.
  • The Lead Pipe: Believed by Dad Meiks to be capable of knocking out demons, the pipe could be capable of doing Rm (30) mystical blunt damage and also capable of forcing any infernal creature or possessed individual to make an Endurance FEAT vs. Stun at Rm (30) intensity.
  • Otis: The large double-bladed Axe seems empowered to destroy demons and their human forms. The axe in the hands of the God's Hand Killer does Rm (30) edged damage (significantly more than a regular axe), as well as doing +2cs damage to infernal beings. Otis also prevents infernal beings from spending Karma on a death result.
  • True Faith*: It is possible that the Meiks are empowered by angelic forces, and as per Dad's original discussion, are protected by those forces. The Meiks have true faith and therefore are nebulously protected by unseen forces. It is assumed that the Meiks faith grants them protections and abilities accordingly at Rm (30). (See Notes).


Contacts:
Dad Meiks had no real contacts, except for the angels who charged him with his work (theoretically)
Adam Meiks is a sheriff and is assumed to have many contacts both in the local community and in law-enforcement.

Limitations:
  • Well-Known Killer (Sort of): The God's Hand Killer is well-known to law-enforcement, although it is assumed that the identity of the killer is Fenton Meiks . Law-Enforcement has established a task force of sorts regarding the murderer, but has no concrete or clear evidence to suggest Adam Meiks is the killer.
  • Zealot: Both Adam and Dad are considered to be zealous about their work, as they are true believers. Once a 'demon' has been identified, The Meiks will stop at nothing to bring them to judgment. In the end, Adam killed Fenton out of devotion to that belief.
  • Serial Murderers: Regardless of the supernatural elements, the Meiks family follows the pattern for serial murder, including a dumping area and specified rituals. The Meiks bury their dead in the 'flower garden' on their property.
