I make notes for foreshadowing and callbacks and figure out generally as many details as possible. [color=F6CE77][b]◼[/b][/color] I like to be in the driver's seat, or at the very least having input into the story and where it's going and especially how it'll affect my character.

The One Above All commanded Heaven's legions of angels beneath Him, but one angel shone more beautiful than any other; the Lightbringer. The Lightbringer was the righthand to the Presence, but envy seeped into his chest and the Lightbringer sought to usurp the One Above All. Deceiving other angels to aid his pride, the Heavens were dragged into a war that ended only when the Lightbringer and his allies were cast out and doomed to an eternity of torment in Gehenna. An ally of the One Above All, Zauriel served the Presence for several millennia acting as one of His Elected. In this role, Zauriel acted as a guardian angel for the downtrodden and misfortunate. Observing humanity and intervening on behalf of the righteous and God-fearing, Zauriel invisibly protected and guided numerous figures throughout history. However, Zauriel eventually fell in love with a mortal woman and defied the Presence by intervening at the time of her destined death. Held in contempt for violating his station by the Archangel Asmodel, Zauriel's punishment was to be cast out of Heaven and banished to live a mortal life on Earth. But Asmodel was actually an agent of the Deceiver and was working to weaken the One Above All's forces for another war. Before being banished to a mortal existence on Earth, Zauriel was a Guadian Angel in the service of the omnipotent, omnipresent deity known as the Presence or the One Above All. As a Guardian Angel, Zauriel was immortal, living past lifetime after lifetime and protecting those they were assigned to until their destined time of death. However, this all came to an end when an angel by the name of Asmodeus indicated Zauriel of working with the Deceiver against the Presence. In reality, it was Asmodeus aiding the Deciever in an attempted coup on Heaven, but Zauriel was cast out and banished to live a mortal life on Earth. Stripped of their immortality, Zauriel was exiled and re-born in the form of a mortal man named Daniel Hall. Leading a fairly regular childhood and growing into a role of a public defender, Daniel remained unaware of his previous existence, until a blinding light stopped him on his way home from work one night...[/indent][/COLOR] [INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )[/color] [color=CE8445]P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][INDENT]Having struck out on applying as both Thor and Hawkman, I had to go back to the drawing board. There were shared elements between the two characters, similar powers, fondness for weapons and a long life. Hercules had been suggested to me quite a bit, but I never really jived with Greco-Roman mythology all that much. In my search, I stumbled across Zauriel who hit a lot of the same story beats as the previous two characters while also being obscure enough he doesn't really affect even those he's connected with.
