Notes
helpusduelistNotes
- His Deck Leader is the Flame Swordsman.
- Henry taught him how to use a sword and he's competent with it, if a little prone to overreaching his ability. He's less reckless than regular Jounouchi, playing more cautiously in duels, but in direct swordplay he can be more thoughtless.
- He has a decent amount of muscle due to that training and is fairly physically strong.
- As seen in his default icon, he does wear armor in the battlefield even without being involved in a card duel. While he dresses more normally outside of battle situations, he's perfectly capable of moving in armor.
- He's rather more used to tolerating pain than your average priest.

Religion and Faith
The tenets of Christopher Urswick's religious views.
➢ God loves everyone. Do you need more? Fine. God loves everyone, no matter what they're like. You are born as one of God's beloved children, and however you may live, however abhorrent you may become, it isn't our place to decide at what point or at what criteria God may turn away from you. Especially not because of some arbitrary dislike someone else has for you.
➢ The church cannot save souls, it can only guide people to try to follow what it believes is the best way to honor God. If you do not believe in God, and cannot be dissuaded from your lack of belief, then that's unfortunate. However, beliefs are just beliefs, after all. Faith runs far deeper, and anyone may turn to God at any time as long as they have not reached the point of no return.
➢ When it comes to sins, it is down to the individual to resist them, not for other people to change their ways to make it easier on them. There is nobody to blame for falling to sin but the person who was unable to resist it. Being forced into it doesn't count, as that cannot be helped, and God takes into consideration things that happen under duress.
➢ Regardless of the church's views on gender, one's sexuality does not affect the purity of one's soul, and a non-traditional couple should be held to the same standards as a traditional one, but also be granted the same respect.
➢ While it's unseemly for a priest to indulge in luxuries, luxury itself isn't sinful as long as others are not being neglected or harmed to feed that luxury.
➢ Violence is a-ok as long as it's for a good cause. This includes defending yourself or fighting for what's right.
➢ "An eye for an eye" is outdated. Retribution for suffering or loss is fine, but there's no need to demand the same suffering from them when other ways of making amends are possible.
➢ Likewise, don't go plucking out your eye if it offends you. Please. That's messy and unpleasant for everyone. We've all grown past the stage in history where self-mutilation was thought to please God.

Dialogue

Pre-Duel Dialogue: "I am Joey, Duelist! I believe you've been looking for me... In England, I'm known as Christopher Urswick. But I'll be best remembered as the Slayer of the Rose Duelist!!!"
Player Loss: "Well, Duelist, is that the best you can do?"
Player Win: "It looks like I underestimated you!!!"
