Name: Rhett Jackson Napier (Called David by believers)
Gender: Male
Age: Eighteen
Marital Status: Unmarried
Job: He is forbidden to even touch the holy rows of corn, let alone plant, care for, or harvest them. Moreover, he doesn’t possess a green thumb. So instead he just tends to the children, regardless of the sneers he receives for doing women’s work, and helps in the protecting of the town by slaying outlanders, interlopers, and anyone else Isaac deigns to have murdered.
Believer in He Who Walks Behind the Rows?: Yes, he exists.
Thoughts on He Who Walks Behind the Rows: He exists, but he is not God. Rhett doesn’t view him as a demon, either. Instead he looks at him as he would any person or government: capable of the most horrendous acts of evil, corrupt, and useful to a point. He does respect He Who Walks Behind the Rows’ ingenuity, however, and secretly wishes to be like him. No, not Isaac or any human. But as smart and manipulative and charismatic as He Who Walks Behind the Rows himself. However, he frowns upon the lying. He Who Walks Behind the Rows isn’t God, so he wishes he would just stop pretending, admitting to just being really powerful, and continue with whatever it is he’s doing.
Image (optional):
Appearance: Rhett has never been formally measured, so there’s no official record, but he likely stands somewhere in the neighborhood of six-foot-two. His lithe form is blanketed by pale Caucasian skin. His eyes are black. Well, they would probably be listed on an official record as dark brown, but anyone looking into them would describe them as black pools of --- well, black. It is difficult to discern where the pupil begins and ends, and where the circular color of his eye starts. These dark eyes are hooded both by being buried deep in his skull and being masked by shadows, but also from being crayoned with purple bags: he does not sleep often, and it shows.
His hair, like his eyes, is a dark brown, but you would probably describe it to a friend, as I am describing it to you, as well, black. It is wavy and descends down to the bottom of his neck, rarely cut or tended to. Sorta like the rest of his body, which is a criss cross battlefield of scars. Some of these are, yes, from fighting as Rhett doesn’t get along well with people. But the majority are just from what some would call clumsiness and others would just call not caring. He is careless in almost all of his movements. This would normally be called, as previously mentioned, clumsy, but it is clear he does possess the grace and coordination to avoid stumbling into that ditch or careening into the brick wall, but seems to just choose not to use it.
Personality:
Cynical:
Rhett has a very low opinion on, practically everything. This is probably because he seems to have a deep hands-on knowledge on nearly everything. He always manages to turn the shiniest gold coin on its back and eye the tarnish. No one does things out of pure philanthropist, and he sees an ulterior motive in everything. Unfortunately, due to the sort of people who have populated Rhett’s life, he has generally been correct.
Intelligent:
Rhett is uneducated, undoubtedly. He knows nothing of Shakespeare, couldn’t name ten United States Presidents – or states, for hat matter - and can’t spell the word Antidisestablishmentarianism. But at the same time, he is also undoubtedly nearly frighteningly intelligent. Scratch them. Definitely frighteningly intelligent. He doesn’t know the above facts, but if he set his mind to it, he could probably learn them quickly enough. He thinks at rapid speed, and easily amasses and can process information. More importantly, of course, he knows how to use this information and where to apply it. Mind you, this only applies when he feels like using this gift. Things often slip his mind if he doesn’t think they are important enough to remember. His intellect is most underscored in his sharp wit: He couldn’t give Oscar Wilde a run for his money – or rather, he doesn’t, probably out of apathy - but he might have him reach for his spare change.
Honest:
Rhett is brutally honest. This applies to other people and himself. He acknowledges that he isn’t a very good person, but he also prefers for other people to acknowledge that they aren’t very good people, either. He doesn’t like underhanded, dirty tricks; he prefers when people make their motives and goals known. It’s simpler, that way.
A stereotype:
Like a lot of teenagers, he has a significant problem with authority. In this case, it happens to be Isaac. Isaac – now there’s a hypocrite, Rhett thinks. Hates the kid’s guts. He Who Walks Behind the Rows --- he has a fondness for him, but begrudges him the title of ‘God.’
Arrogant:
(Because Bunny can’t make a character without this fatal flaw. >.> )
Jackson is prideful. I’d say prideful to a point of fault, but it’s more like he found the point of fault and vaulted over it to win the Olympic Medal of fault vaulting. He feels he is more intelligent than others, and while this is (generally) true, he enjoys exploiting what he thinks is the stupidity of everyone else. He is, he thinks, the only one who truly is seeing things for what they are: horrible. Gatlin is on the road to hell, figuratively if not literally, and he delights in the fact that he is the only one who seems to notice. He also delights in pushing it a little closer – planting seeds of doubt in the believers, causing little insurrections inside the group. He sees it as a game: see how far he can go before someone gets fed up and offers him to He Who Walks Behind the Rows.
Apathetic
This applies to most things, at least. He cares little about his own person, about the feelings of others – or the opinions others have of him.
Manipulative
People are just balls of yarn to be unraveled. Judas, as the believers call him, loves to see just what string will unravel them completely. He sees what is probably a point of annoyance for other people and exploits it, hoping to break them down to do --- whatever it is they do when they lose it, so to speak.
Affectionate
Ooh, ooh, didn’t see this one coming, did you? Rhett doesn’t have a very strong circle of friendly, mostly because of his scumbag personality. However, if someone finds their way into his good graces – and this is difficult to do – and can somehow stand him, too – even more difficult – he is really hard to pry off, figuratively speaking. He his infinitely loyal to his select circle. And even more so to his daughter, Delilah.
Funny
Or rather, he has a sense of humor. Whether or not anyone else would find his humor "funny" depends on whether or not he is joking around with a bona fide sociopath or not. As mentioned before, he delights in the emotional destruction of other people, and pointing out flaws that they refuse to even acknowledge. But beyond that, he also tends to see the humor in most situations: He's eighteen, could physically beat up Isaac if he felt like it, but has to obey the squirt anyway. His humor ranges from the aforementioned dark cruelty to light-hearted childish humor. For he is rather childish at times, and can get giddily excited over the tiniest things: a cute mouse, a pretty color, etc.

History:
A foundling. He was abandoned on the front step of Gatlin County Hospital with a hasty scrawl of ‘R’ written on a piece of paper beside him. No one is quite certain where he came from, but rumors abounded in Gatlin that he was the son of a certain teenage girl who had been known to get around – who, nine months previous, had gone to live with her Aunt. And, on her return, Rhett was found. He has never had any interest in discovering who his mother was, writing the subject off as ‘she didn’t want me, I don’t want her.’
Still, he didn’t live his entire life in Gatlin. Instead, he was shuffled through foster homes, for a few years before winding up in his old home again. While there, he met a girl named Fanny. Knew a girl named Fanny, that is.
See, in the Bible, when someone says 'they knew her' it means they had sex with her. And that's what happened. He had sex with her.
If there's a gun in a movie it's probably going to go off, and if there's sex in a history there's probably going to be a baby. There was.
And he got her pregnant. At fifteen. Certainly, not an intelligent move, but he was always impulsive. But then, he didn’t have to deal with her parents – or worry about being one, for that matter - for very long, because Isaac came and preached the word of He Who Walks Behind the….well, you know. And the Corn-Deity did show himself to them.
So, He Who Walks Behind the Rows made himself known. Everyone either falls on their knees in worship, or leaps upwards to sing praise to their new God, or tries to flee from his wrath. Everyone felt a great wind of emotion.
What happened to Rhett?
Answer: Not a whole lot.
Someone once said that Hell is empty and all the Demons are here.
Afterwards, people would talk about heaven and hell - particularly hell, that the Purging had been just that: everyone having to walk through their own hell, slaying their own parents to purify the corn and to pay for their own sinful natures. To Rhett, everyone just seemed to be getting on the same page as him. 'Bout time.
Still, though, there was a lot of riots going on, and there were few things that he loved more than a good riot. So, opinions on He Who Walks Behind the Rows aside, he just grabbed a crowbar and started bashing.
Moralality was never Rhett's strongsuit. Besides, corruption had been there before. It had just taken on a new form; a new, more powerful form. A beautiful form.
Rhett was forced into marry Fanny (renamed Bathsheba, for she was a prostitute.) The pair were forgiven for their fornication for they had been living in the corruption of adults, but others, generally, stayed aloof from the pair. They had committed a most grievous sin.
When Bathsheba gave birth, it was without doctors or nurses. Unfortunately she died during childbirth. Rhett didn't care too much, and Delilah was simply given to another girl to nurse.
Weapon of Choice: Crowbar..or knife. Whatever.
Other:
Rhett talks in a high, nasally voice. It had a rocking cadence, and rises and lowers in pitch with little warning.
Name: Delilah Napier
Gender: Female
Age: 2 (going on three)
Marital Status: If she was married, it would be to a pedo. No, she is not married.
Job: Not dying
Believer in He Who Walks Behind the Rows?: Yup!
Thoughts on He Who Walks Behind the Rows: He’s the good guy!
Image (optional):
Appearance: Delilah is small, even for her modest age of two. She has begun to grow a luxurious mane of ginger hair, though it falls more in the territory of scarlet than orange. She has bright blue eyes, and, from all accounts, will probably grow into quite a looker.
Personality:
Delilah is three. She is full of questions and definitely shows a promise of great intellect, but doesn’t question when her loved ones comment on what is good and what is evil. She looks at things in black-and-white, and hasn’t yet even been able to comprehend that He Who Walks Behind the Rows might not be her God. She is a happy and kind-hearted child, though she places far too much trust in the people around her.
