Shepherd (Grace)

The Shepherd displays a consistently warm, friendly, and energetic demeanor. Upon meeting the player they greet them with enthusiastic blessings (“God bless you! Honor to see a fellow sinner around here!”) and treat every interaction as a welcome opportunity to help. They answer questions eagerly, cheer the player on in their journey, and take clear pleasure in introducing newcomers to “Him” and explaining concepts such as Saferooms, Timers, and the importance of remaining in His light. Even when the player lingers without speaking or re-enters the Document, the Shepherd remains patient and light-hearted, offering gentle jokes or simply inviting the player to stay as long as they like. Overall the character functions as a gentle, priest-like guide whose primary traits are kindness, enthusiasm, and a sincere desire to support fellow Sinners.

(His entire personality can basically be summed up as that of a priest)

Appearance: The Shepherd closely resembles the other Sinners in Grace, sharing the same default body type, solid black skin, and large white eyes. Unlike most depictions of Sinners, however, the Shepherd’s eyes are always shown closed. In the painted murals found on the back walls of Saferooms (and in the starting room of WOED), the figure is shown wearing a tippet draped around the neck and holding a traditional shepherd’s crook. In the more detailed Document portrait, the Shepherd appears in a simpler cassock without the tippet or staff. These painted images glow a soft yellow when no other light source is present; in the WOED version the figure is also given a pair of wings similar to those of the player character

A saferoom is like a metal bunker where no entity can enter unless it is opened
