Updated [color=007236][i][center]"I won't be held responsible for your mistakes."[/center][/i][/color] [hider=Wrath] [color=007236][b]Name:[/b] Aodh, fallen angel of Wrath[/color] [color=007236][b]Age:[/b][/color] around 4,000 [color=007236][b]Race:[/b][/color] angel [color=007236][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2b/24/2d/2b242d67bfda64203b173d480b6194cc--woman-warrior-warrior-angel.jpg[/img] Aodh stands 5'8" tall. She is a average/athletic build and has very pale skin. She has piercing blue eyes and her hair is grey. She is able to alter her appearance slightly depending on necessity, and so often is not seen with her wings. She tends to wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing, and is not a fan of bright colors. She always has a weapon on her person, just not usually visible. [color=007236][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Aodh is driven by truth and justice. She believes a balanced scale is poetry. She hates to see injustice against anyone and can be a very kind, caring person. She does come across often as cold or introverted or standoff-ish at times. This is due to her advanced age. She finds the less you speak the less you have to apologize for later. Aodh does have a switch that flips in her, though. When someone is treated unfairly or abused or even murdered, she will lose focus of everything else, and she feels out of control as she responds to these situations. When she saves lives, she's blind to the cost and it's one of the only times she feels joy. When she fails, she has been known to vomit, kill someone else who has barely sinned to make her feel better, or go hide in a cave for a while. When she isolates, she is contemplative and tries to contain the bloodlust inside her. She'll emerge calm and more patient, but it never lasts. It affects her much more than making the wrong choice. When she accidentally kills the wrong person, she rationalizes it, confesses it to the sky, and feels guilty for maybe a day or two. She does her best to justify her actions and push that particular guilt away. She knows evil will always exist, and perhaps she is evil to many people. However, she does her best to channel the Wrath inside her towards those she deems more evil that herself. [color=007236][b]Background:[/b][/color] Aodh began her life as a guardian angel. She would be moved from human to human as they passed on. However, one day, the 5 year old she was supposed to be guarding was lured away from home. Aodh was distracted by a couple of demons who were in on the whole ordeal, when the little girl was murdered. Aodh felt the weight of a thousand earth's fall onto her shoulders. She carried the guilt and shame, and it began to make her fearful. She was scared of failing, of injustice being done, of losing another innocent. But she could not stop it from happening again and again to other angels' children and assignments. The fear began to drive her mad until it became anger. A bubbling river of fury that she began to unleash on anyone, creature or human, that harmed innocent ones. The first case of Aodh truly snapping was when she heard of a human serial killer targeting children. At that time she was still a guardian angel and so had an assigned sword that was supposed to only be used against supernatural beings who might harm only her assigned person, never a human. Those were the rules she'd always been held to. However, she did her own kind of detective work, and managed to stalk the man who was committing the crimes. She tied him up and tortured him for several hours before finishing him off. She was ridiculously happy afterwards and thought she'd be rewarded, but instead was reprimanded for breaking so many rules. She tried to be sneakier about her activities after that, but when one time she killed the wrong person, it triggered her to confess what she'd been doing, and thus she was expelled, kicked out of heaven and sentenced to live on earth til Judgment Day. She is still in possession of her powers as an angel, but none of the authority she had. So she can still use her powers, but every time she does use them for anything related to Wrath, it is another red mark in her ledger. And considering she becomes another being almost, something with red eyes and a lust for vengeance, she has a lot of red marks against her. Since being kicked out, Aodh has avoided the City. She tends to believe ignorance is bliss at times. She instead has resigned herself more to rural places. She enjoys nature more than the city life and it's easier to keep the peace. Not to mention, she actually feels a sense of appreciation from locals when they gossip about how the town thief ends up mysteriously disappearing. The Detective got in touch with Aodh via phone call. Aodh knows the City basically functions on nonsense (in her opinion), but when the Detective described the Outcasts to her, Aodh couldn't help herself. She is ready to show the Outcasts exactly what torture looks like. [color=9e0b0f][b]Skills and Abilities:[/b][/color] * flight [color=007236](She does has large, grey feathered wings that allow her to fly. Without them, she would not be able to.)[/color] * skilled in hand to hand combat [color=007236](Aodh has gotten into many fights over the ages and has not come away dumber. She has learned how to fight when her knives are out of reach or when she loses control in the moment. She is not officially "trained" in any particular fighting style, just basically street/survival fighting.)[/color] * knife and sword skills [color=007236](All guardian angels were assigned a sword and learned to fight with it. Aodh still has her sword, which is cross shaped and about 35 inches tall. It has a blackened sheen to it with swirls carved throughout the steel. The handle is wrapped leather. She also has several smaller daggers she has collected over the years and has taught herself to use.)[/color] * ability to minorly change appearance [color=007236](Aodh can cast a sort of illusion over herself. This illusion can hide her wings, hide wounds on her skin or create the appearance of them, or minorly change things like her hair color or eye color. She cannot change her appearance to look like some other creature or anything like that.)[/color] * healing ability [color=007236](Aodh heals quickly from injuries. Because she is immortal, she eventually recovers from all wounds. However, she can be injured. Her skin is fairly tough to get through with average human weapons, while enchanted weapons do more damage. Her recovery time varies based on weapon and injury.)[/color] * cannot be killed but can be bound in chains [color=007236](Expanded upon under weaknesses, but Aodh cannot technically be killed. She can only be bound indefinitely.)[/color] [color=9e0b0f][b]Weakness:[/b][/color] * chains [color=007236](Enchanted chains will bind her very quickly. Regular old chains will work as well, but you would need many, and to constrain her while unconscious or work very quickly.)[/color] * inability to control herself in the presence of injustice [color=007236](She's more of a "two eyes for an eye" type of angel.)[/color] * weakness towards children, elderly, and animals [color=007236](She sees these groups as weaker, and thus whoever picks on them is especially sickening.)[/color] * not skilled in guns or archery or spears [color=007236](She could possibly figure them out, but guardian angels are tasked with swords. She has never used these weapons before so if given one in battle or coming up against one in a fight she will be at a disadvantage.)[/color] * does not recover quickly from being knocked unconscious [color=007236](Aodh heals quickly but if knocked unconscious she is just like any other being. Depending on the strength of the hit, she could be unconscious for hours.)[/color] * fear of doing the wrong thing [color=007236](Aodh isn't a full on perfectionist, but it's inbred into angels to do the right thing every time in order to please God. So she has some issues with needing approval and enjoying pleasing others. This has caused her to make mistakes in the past in order to win the approval of others.)[/color] [color=007236][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] Aodh has her "knightly sword" that she calls her blade of justice. It is described under skills. She also carries various daggers and throwing knives. She will acquire anything else she needs at the moment or use what's around her if she gets in a situation where she needs anything else. [color=007236][b]Quips:[/b][/color] [color=007236]"Liars lose their tongue." "Don't forget me in Hell."[/color] Aodh still speaks to a couple angels who aren't fallen. They consistently try to convince her to stop her warpath. (Aodh is definitely more of a loner, but I would love for her to have connections to one or two other of the Lesser Evils, or even to have worked with the Detective in the past. I will update this section if this works with anyone else!) Added: Aodh does know Cain fairly well. Besides the obvious history and legends about Cain, there was a time when Aodh was isolating in a cave after mistakingly murdering the wrong person after a shoddy detective job. Her sword was sitting near the cave entrance. Aodh felt a presence, like a shadow slyly try to grab her weapon. Aodh rushed the thief and they blindly fought hand to hand. Aodh twisted their arm, only to glance and see the Mark of Cain blazing on his skin. Surprised, Aodh slowly released Cain's arm. The way Aodh stepped back seemed to halt the fight, and then Aodh called his name. They began a conversation and realized the similarities they had, and came to an agreement. Aodh has contacted Cain several times over the millenia to ask if he wanted to help her on a task, if the person she is tracking or destroying has some nice things that Cain might take an interest in, or siphon some interesting memories from.
