[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Raziel is a tormented soul beset on all sides by those who seek to manipulate him towards their own ends. As such, he is a stubborn and skeptical individual. He is wary of alliances with anyone, and single-minded in his pursuit of his own goals. Raziel is far from a kind creature, having no qualms slaughtering humans, vampires, and demons alike, and devouring their souls. However, he is not an outwardly cruel individual. He does not kill senselessly, and does not seek to torment his victims unless they truly ask for it. Raziel is also a confused being, unsure what the correct path for him is, and always striving to unravel his destiny. 

[u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] [i]Telekinesis[/i] - Raziel can shoot concussive blasts of kinetic energy, capable of moving objects or knocking back enemies. He can also use it to pull objects towards him. 

[i]Soul Eating[/i] - After killing a foe, Raziel can eat its soul, which restores his strength.

[i]Astral Plane[/i] - Raziel can shift into the astral plan, a realm where souls and spirits reside. In this realm, Raziel can pass through certain physical barriers. The physical features of the material plane become warped, and he can often reach inaccessible areas in the plane. When Raziel's physical body becomes destroyed, he returns to the astral plane rather than dying. He can feast on the stray souls of this realm to restore his strength. To return to the material plane, he must possess a corps and burst forth from its flesh. 

[i]Supernatural Strength[/i] - Raziel possesses strength far beyond that of a mere human, allowing him to move heavy objects and scale sheer cliffs. 

[i]Free Will[/i] - Raziel has been removed from the cycle of life and death, and thus is free to shape his own destiny. He is the one being in his world that is not bound by a pre-ordained fate.

[u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] [i]Seasoned Warrior[/i] - Raziel is a proficient fighter with swords, spears, and all standard weapons, as well as his bare hands. 

[i]Gliding[/i] - Though torn and tattered, the remains of Raziel's wings can act as sails, allowing him to glide great distances.

[u][b]Brief Bio:[/b][/u] As a human, Raziel was a Sarafan priest, a renowned vampire hunter. However, he was killed by a terrible creature and martyred, lauded as a hero for centuries... until the vampire Kain found his corpse and bestowed upon him the Dark Gift. Raziel served as Kain's lieutenant in his conquest of the world, but surpassed his master, growing a pair of wings just like the ancient vampire race. In a fit of rage and jealousy, Kain ripped out Raziel's wings and tossed him into the abyss where his body would be completely dissolved. However, Raziel was revived again by the Elder God, and made into the grotesque soul-eating creature he is now. Raziel emerged from the abyss and slaughtered Kain's generals one by one, then pursued his former master through time, all the while trying to discover his true purpose. He learned of the sinister plots of the Elder God and Moebius the Timestreamer, and allied with Kain to defeat them. However, in doing so, he allowed himself to be devoured by the material version of the Soul Reaver, wielded by Kain. Rather than fading into nothingness, though, Raziel found himself in this strange new world...

[u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] [i]Soul Reaver[/i] - A wraith blade bound to Raziel's arm that he can summon at will. The blade has an insatiable lust for souls... just as insatiable as Raziel's own. The more souls it devours, the more powerful it becomes until it unleashes a destructive blast of energy. The Soul Reaver was once imbued with several elemental powers, but they seem to have been lost in this new realm.
