I wouldn't go quite that far. A heavy restriction and no Speed bonuses is probably enough.

Background: The Dickensian Aspect
Robert Pembrooke was born to poverty in London, in the late nineteenth century. The charity of the Church was the only thing that sustained him in body and mind; he chose in turn to give his life to the Church.
Rising Conflict: One Man Against the Darkness
Father Pembrooke has always been a man of deep faith, and this included a belief that evil was not merely a thing that men did to each other, but that there was true darkness in the world. He studied the occult extensively, becoming an expert in demonic possession and exorcisms, hauntings and the lore of witchcraft. This belief was hardly shared by his fellow priests; while many were still good, faithful men, they turned a blind eye to evidence that worse things stalked the night than burglars and cutthroats. When he discovered the power that God had granted him to battle the forces of the Adversary, he took this as a sign that he neither needed, nor should seek, help besides the Lord, his Shepherd.
Sanctaphrax:
I like what you have there, but one thing puzzles me. What level is this guy at? 30 skill points and 9 refresh spent indicates some sort of Chest Deep/Submerged hybrid.
Vargo Teras:
Not an intentional hybrid, but rather bad maths. To make Chest Deep, remove the stunts; for Submerged, I'd add Average Endurance, Investigation, and Performance (strictly for ceremonial purposes), and bump Alertness and Resources to Fair.
H++:
As requested by Sanctaphrax from my own thread. This is my wife's character and main protagonist in my DFRPG campaign.

PHASES
BACKGROUND: Mum and Dad went missing at Astley Castle, 31st October 1977. Six months later the castle burned down and black magic effigies were found in an upper room. Raised by my grandparents, my gran tutored me initially in the arts. My talent outgrew her know-how and tuition was handed to gran's close friend Elizabeth Deverell - a wizard of The White Council.
ASPECT: Student of Elizabeth Deverell
RISING CONFLICT: Halloween 1990, found Gran dead in her kitchen. Same effigy was left next to her body as found in castle. My Sight revealed a symbol like a "?" was magically tattooed on to Gran's face. As I called Elizabeth to tell her, a mantis-like demon rose from the shadows and attacked. In my pain and anger I managed to collapse the house on top of it and ran.
ASPECT: Bringing Down The House!
