Well, i can see how you can get that, now that you point it out like that. Although, i was more or less making an effort for him for him to be. An over-zealous, god loving man. Who believed that all fights can be resolved with words. He does not believe in fighting. He uses his power to defend what he thought to be right. He believed that if following him goddess path, he would achieve much more prestige, and be able to spread the word further. Overall he was meant to be a lawful good character, trying to solve everything with words, and turning a blind eye. He did not want to fight, and did not want fights to happen.
The situation with the burning of the hand was overall what he thought to be the best solution to what was going down. He was upset by the man's outright perverted ways, and touching someone whom he did not know, and she seemed bothered by it. That kixed with the Monk's reaction, about to turn into a fight, he did not want a fight to ensue, so he cast a holy shield onto Emerald, to enforce the man to remove his hand, and to show the Monk that Gustav had it handled, and no fight was needed to be had. Although he failed.
He plays all sides because he believes that there is good in all of Crea's Dream, and that all people can be reasoned with, and loved, he thinks of them all as friends, and he wants to protect them. He recently has been displaying but a small fraction of his powers, as he is in his prime, and can do a lot, but with time, and much exhaustion. What he has done so far are simple party tricks, to show off who he is, and to attempt to gain the respect of his comrades, so they will listen to him, and follow his peaceful ways. He also thinks he has authority, so that would explain his attempt to order people around. Though, this time he was just saying "Hey lets go!".
He try's to be kind to all, and he is always smiling. He gets determined and gets his grim grins when he thinks Crea is putting him up to a challenge. He is excited to prove himself to his Goddess. And when he discusses his "old" life. He is referring to before he was a believer. Like 16-17ish, and now he is a traveling nature loving man, who spreads the word of his Goddess, and helps those in need. Getting in over his head a lot. Also despite his own village, and his age, he has made many many travels, it is how he lives. He lives to make friends and share his word.
His beliefs are decently consistent, or at least i am attempting to make them that. The bit the the animals i can understand, although, i didn't have a view of him being a vegan, so i would like to say, his belief in that, is that Crea created animals to be eaten, and others to be companions.
To get to what he really is. He is man with a heedful of Crea, he is hopelessly in love with his Goddess, and seeks nothing more than to serve her and believe in her. He jumps into all fights, trying to stop them, and show his ways are the right way, although, truthfully, he can not take a hit. He is a wimp with a mind that thinks his god will protect him form harm. When she doesn't, he blows it off as her teaching him a lesson.
In no way was i intending for him to be a jerk, if i was, i would try to include that a bit more. Although, i guess i was not clear with my actions so far. And If your IC believes him to be a spooky mage, then let it be! Just, OCC, he is not. He is a frail man who thinks his faith gives him armor and reason, and he wants to seek peace with his power.
Also, to note, I am purposely being vague about his powers, I want them to be up to interpretation, they are made to look holy, and Gustav believes they are holy, and created from Crea, although to non-believers, i want them to be able to believe it is just magic. Because I myself do not know what i want it to be, and I don't want to say that it is in fact Crea's power, because, just like all faith, she may be real, she may not be real. Gustav thinks she is, and he thinks it's her powers, and it very well may be, but if she isn't, then it is just Gustav spouting non-sense, and casting magic.
Basically, he was meant to be an easily like-able character, but anyone violent would easily hate him.
He is kind, and has a large amount of wisdom, and love to protect his friends. He believes that all he meets are new friends.
Although, i do like your idea @Nautilus, perhaps i may do something like that in another RP. That sounds really cool, and if i didst already have plans in mind for Gustav, i wouldn't mind using your idea of him.
