[quote=@ThisIsFine] [Hider=Archangel] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/ce58af33-b610-4342-9765-317bac8ed837.jpg[/img] [b]Name[/b]: Raphael, prefers "Raph" [b]Alias[/b]: Archangel [b]Species[/b]: Enhanced human / "Artificial Angel" [b]Age[/b]: 26ish? [b]Birthday[/b]: Technically he was never born [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Sexuality[/b]: The first person to show him love and affection [b]Position[/b]: Vigilante [b]Affiliation[/b]: The High Order (formerly) [b]Current Residence[/b]: He's been living on the streets of New York for the last four years, rummaging in restaurant dumpsters for his next meal. [b]Personality[/b]: Raph is...difficult. One can hardly blame him; he's the 26 year champion of the Shittiest Life Ever award. He doesn't seem to know how to interact with other people very well. He thinks they'll either use him, turn on him, or even worse, abandon him. He desperately wants to be able to trust someone, but at the same time, he's built a solid wall around himself because he can't get over his past. People are scary, and exposing himself is scary, and emotional availability is scary, and sometimes it's just easier to be a lonely street urchin. [b]Appearance[/b]: As far as street urchins go, Raph is 🤌 He's genetically predisposed to be a supermodel, he can't help it. He's got the arms, the abs, and yes, the ass. The big ol' bird wings are there too. Raphael has white, feathered wings that jut out of his back. Fully expanded, they're about 12 feet wide, while Raph himself is 6 foot even. They can fold up tightly against his back to fit under shirts and in a bulky jacket, he can pull off normal for a little while. But it certainly isn't comfortable. His hair is dark brown and has a feathery texture. His eyes are hazel. As a form of punishment when he got too rebellious, the High Order would brand him with symbols related to their organization. Fortunately, this only happened twice. He has an eye with rays shining off of it on his torso, over his left shoulder. He also has "si audieritis vos comedetis bona terrae" painfully and meticulously branded down his left thigh. This one took some time and there's definitely some sloppiness from his struggling. [b]Powers[/b]: Raph can fly, of course. Those wings aren't just for looks. He's also way stronger than an average human, faster, more agile, and has advanced healing and heightened senses. He was created to be a synthetic devine being, so he's gotta have something to show for it. As far as weaknesses go, Raph is very sensitive to smoke and fumes. He can easily choke and pass out, or even die, if he's exposed to too much. Basically walking through a Lush or Bath and Body Works is hell. Raph requires almost three times the nutritional intake of an average human to sustain flight, advanced healing, and mass. He eats a [i]lot.[/i] This can work against him because one too many skipped meals could easily make him past tense. Stats based on Marvel's [url=https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Grid]power grid[/url] +Flight up to 150 MPH, sprinting. 60 MPH speed sustainable for 5 straight hours with no rest. (But not recommended) +Enhanced vision +Internal Compass. He can tell directions just by existing and rarely ever gets lost in a place he's been to at least once. +Advanced healing. Can heal from most broken bones in a few days, in the right conditions. +Level 2 Normal Intelligence +Level 4 Superhuman Strength +Slightly above normal running speed +Level 3 Enhanced Durability +Level 4 Experienced Fighter -Sensitivity to smoke/fumes, leading to weakness, suffocation, potentially death -Extremely high nutritional needs. Lack of food could lead to weakness and loss of consciousness within hours, depending on exertion levels, and starvation in mere days. [b]Weapons[/b]: Dem guns 💪 [b]Likes[/b]: Sleeping, hot food, self soothing via violence (don't worry, it's only directed at the bad guys) [b]Dislikes[/b]: Swimming, water in general, feeling vulnerable, talking about his ✨ feelings ✨ [b]Special skills:[/b] Angst World Champ 5 years in a row [b]Backstory[/b]: Oh boy here we go. Raph was more or less a cabbage patch baby as far as he knows. He's never known parents or family. He was "created" in a facility run by scientists with...[i]interesting[/i] ideas. They were a cult is what I'm saying. This strange mixture of religion and science resulted in a combination of eugenics and DNA bullshit in an attempt to create a devine being. Raphael was the result. While he's certainly attractive, he's not exactly holy. This science cult, The High Order, as they called themselves, raised Raph as both something to be worshipped and something to be controlled. As you can imagine, this led to some serious inner turmoil. He was paraded by the high clergy as a god, then beaten when he put a toe out of line. He was told he was holy and sacred, then branded with the symbols and images of the order. He was chained, praised, starved, lavished, and finally, he was fed up. Raphael made his daring escape four years ago. He left a warpath in his wake. He thought he was finally free, until he learned that the High Order was no small organization; they had cells all across New York city. And they planned to make more angels. He's been very busy wrecking their shit ever since. But as it turns out, making artificial angels was just a lil side hobby. The High Order also deals in human trafficking, bioweapons, drug trade, political corruption, and oh boy does he have his work cut out for him.

[quote=@WindsOfFate] [hider=Aielah Kanaloa][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/06/65/4d/06654d517995a171d845f5090f267587.jpg[/img] [h1][color=B23DD1]Aielah Kanaloa[/color][/h1] [sub]"Long have I dreamt of your end. Come, drink with me in the pool of sorrow"[/sub] [color=B23DD1]Title or Hero/Villain/Code name:[/color] HEKA [color=B23DD1]Species:[/color] Half-Breed (it’s a mystery) [color=B23DD1]Gender:[/color] Male [color=B23DD1]Sexuality:[/color] Bisexual [color=B23DD1]Age:[/color] 28 [color=B23DD1]Birthday:[/color] November 15 [/center] [hr][hr] [color=B23DD1]Personality:[/color] At first encounter, one would assume that Aielah is cold and distant, but with his eyes, he can see the potential of others. Even though he is blunt, straight to the point, and can cut with his words, he means well and does it for the growth of others. Aielah is welcoming to others and tries to find beauty in everything. Though strict in his training, he can be relaxed in certain situations. [color=B23DD1]Appearance:[/color] Aielah's presence seems to banish darkness to the corner of any room he enters. His hair, though long, is never dirty for some mysterious reason. His skin is blemish-free and carries no sign of age. His eyes are a beautiful icy white that bores into the soul of anyone who dares to look him in the eye. Aielah stands a decent 5'8" and seems to float when he walks. He hides beneath his garments a toned frame forged from strict training. His grace and eloquence are unmatched. [color=B23DD1]Affiliation:[/color] Aielah defends the world from mystical threats, and if asked will lend his magic to those with a similar alignment. [color=B23DD1]Powers:[/color] Aielah possesses the ability to use mystical energy blasts, manipulate the forces of magic for a vast number of effects, and is able to tap into extra-dimensional energy by invoking entities or objects of power, existing in dimensions tangential to those of the Earth, through the recitation of spells. Dr. Strange taught Aielah astral projection, levitation, and interdimensional teleportation, though Aielah must be careful not to overexert his body, for physical damage can occur, and some spells/incantations require specific conditions to be met. [color=B23DD1]Weapon(s):[/color] [list][*] [b]Book of the Vishanti[/b] > The Book of the Vishanti contains the most powerful white/order magic spells known, many of them being counterspells to other magic disciplines. [*] [b]Vestments of Oceanera[/b] > Inside the tunic and pants reside an ancient water elemental after bonding with a wizard centuries ago. It is said that the vestments will only allow someone who is a free spirit to wear and be protected by the garments. The vestments grant the wearer the ability to resist magic of all designs, walk on water, deflect bullets, resist strikes from weapons, and be healed by water sources. If the wearer ever becomes tainted with dark thoughts it's like pollution, dulling and shutting down the effects of the garments until Aielah meditates in pure water to remove the pollutant.

The Rings of Osiris have passed many hands before being bestowed to Aielah as a gift from Dr. Strange. These Sapphire earrings grant the wearer telepathy in a limited range of 75 feet.

It is said the weapon chooses who can wield it by their inner core. Those tainted by darkness can never wield the Blade of Oshtur.[/list] [color=B23DD1]Weaknesses:[/color] Aielah has a tendency to try to see the good in everything. This doesn't help when there is no good. Aielah must be careful what spells/incantations he uses. Too much energy exerted can be taxing to the physical body and cause harm such as lacerations, bruising, and even death. [color=B23DD1]Likes:[/color] Gardening. Reading. Meditation. [color=B23DD1]Dislikes:[/color] Filth. Negative Outlooks. Sacrifices. [color=B23DD1]Current Residence:[/color] Sanctum Sanctorum Backstory: Abandoned as a child, it was Dr. Strange who took Aielah in and trained him. Though no one knew why Dr. Strange had taken Aielah in and trained him strictly, some say it was because Dr. Strange wanted Aielah to take his spot when the time came. Aielah was trained until his body was broken, and even then he continued to train, forcing his body to adapt in order to please his master and ensure the legacy continued, but Aielah felt sorrow deep in his heart. He longed for Dr. Strange's approval, but the man always seemed cold, distant, yet caring to an extent. Aielah was trained by the best in the Sanctum, but eventually, his skills surpassed those of his teachers. Aielah remained humble and hid his skill. One day, Dr. Strange attended one of his trials and was intrigued by Aielah's display. For the first time since his arrival, Aielah received a sign of approval from his master, and it meant the world to him. He would forever cherish it, but nothing would prepare him for the news he would get during the war. Aielah has mourned his mentor's death since the day Dr. Strange's body was returned to them. The news hit extremely hard, but Aielah had his duties to fulfill. Until there could be a newly assigned Sorcerer Supreme, Aielah would be tasked with protecting the Sanctum and ensuring everyone understood their positions. He would act as caretaker and interim protector of the Sanctum. Who would pick up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme and carry it the way his mentor did? He didn't know. In honor of the great work Dr. Strange did, the Eye of Agomotto, the Orb of Agomotto, and his ring were buried with his master. The Cloak of Levitation had received too much damage, and the magic had drained from it. Thus, it was not buried but rather placed in a relic box. Aielah was given the task of creating a protective barrier around the burial chambers of his master, and with every tear he shed, the wards of the chambers grew stronger. That was one year ago, and it still feels like yesterday to Aielah, but he has performed his job well in the eyes of his peers and the Vishanti. Everything he does, he does in memory of his master, to keep the legacy alive. [color=B23DD1]Special Skills:[/color] Aielah is trained in many martial arts, but those he favors are Ninjutsu, Tai Chi, and Judo much like his master. Aielah has knowledge of different weapons but prefers pole-arm weaponry. He is a magnificent archer. Aielah has unlocked the ability to become weightless and fly by sheer force of his will.
