[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.

[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.
