In Bezaliel’s case, it is able to appear near-perfectly human through shapeshifting and roughly mimic different people’s bodies and faces. Through shapeshifting, it can also mask its extra eyes and extra wings, or entirely shift to more “feral” forms entirely. According to Bezaliel, its shifting will get better when he “ages to the next stage,” which is apparently in a few thousand Earth years. [*] [b][u]"Light Manipulation"[/u] -[/b] As the rest of its species, Bezaliel is capable of emitting, manipulating, and shooting light in beams. Naturally, it gives a faint glow off its skin and feathers, with its eyes, horns, and markings glowing slightly brighter. It can either glow brightly if needed or dim itself entirely, and it can shoot controlled bursts of light from its “halo,” a pair of horns on its head that form an arch. It can also bend beams of light, both its own emitted light and light from other sources like lamps, creating rainbows or reflections. It seems Bezaliel holds a talent for this specific power, as it likes to create little “light shows” when it is bored— an impressive feat of meticulous and exact light control that usually only older members of its species can do after living through most “stages.” [*] [b][u]"Blink"[/u] -[/b] An angel is capable of moving short distances faster than humans can register with their own eyes, making this fast movement seem like teleportation. It is not teleportation, just a form of “sprinting” that this species can do. [*] [b][u]"Hunting"[/u] -[/b] Bezaliel is an avid and energetic hunter— being able to use its sharp teeth and talons to take down prey easily. It has extremely keen tracking senses, and it rarely loses track of prey. Angels, as far as we understand, are obligate hypercarnivores, and will hunt in packs. This explains why Bezaliel strongly prefers hunting with people it has deemed its friend. Bezaliel in particular will “share” its catches with others, as well.[/list] [b]Physical Description:[/b] Bezaliel can shapeshift, but has a “base” form and a few specific morphs it defaults to. Its standard form sports a dark purple-blue, translucent skin, light freckles and “starmarks” (lighter blue and cream colored cloud-like markings) as it calls them staining its skin. Its “hair,” actually a thick set of long and thin feathers on its head, is a pearly white, as is every feather on its body. It has a crown of horns on itself head, one small set of horns, one curlier second set, and one set that joints together to form a “halo.” It has two arms, each hand having a zygodactyl appearance to it: two “middle” fingers, and a thumb at each side, making for four fingers. Its legs are long, thin, tapered— the build comparable to a crane’s legs, and the feet presenting the same zygodactyl features as the hands. It has a long, prehensile tail with feathers, both long and hair-like snd short and fluffy. It has a set of five eyes on its face, and four more eyes down its chest. It has shiny golden eyes with dark sclera. When closed, the angel’s mouth is barely visible, but when open it has a row of extremely sharp, shark-like teeth. The “human” form it takes has mocha-colored skin with light freckles and the same iridescent, white hair, usually in long braids. It has two eyes there, but its eyes still sport the dark sclera and golden irises. It has an ethereal face, its full lips naturally perked up to a slight smile and its button nose upturned. In this form, it shrinks down to 5’4 and weighs the same as it normally does. [b]Procedure:[/b] Two trackers are implanted into Bezaliel’s body— one at the back of its neck where it connects to its shoulders, and one at the base of its tail. The reason why there are two trackers is because the distance between the two can also show if Bezaliel has shifted and is a different stature than it is naturally. The handler assigned to the angel has a GPS connected to both trackers to monitor it with. Besides the tracker, a small device wrapped around Bezaliel’s halo prevents it from generating light intense enough to cause harm to others, but it can still make gentle light. Bezaliel, like all angels, is an obligate carnivore, and must be supplied a live animal for food as it will deny cooked meals on the premise “it tastes weird.” Unless the handler is someone Bezaliel knows, it will deny prepared, raw meat because, in its words, “I don’t know you well enough for you to share your hunt with me.” It must be allowed to hunt in free air at least once a week, or else it gets antsy and will start to lash out and be violent towards almost everyone. The Angel should not be left alone at any point in time, as it will get irritable, anxious, and/or violent when on its own. Bezaliel often tries to break out, under the pretext of “wanting to go home,” but can be calmed down with books and music. Handlers are encouraged to interact with it, but be careful— it readily attacks “threats” and lashes out extremely violently to discipline and attempts to sedate it. Bezaliel usually perceives prayers, chanting, any talk about religion, loud sounds, and any flashing lights as threats. Thus, handlers are also advised to remove shiny jewelry and speak softly. To stop Bezaliel from constantly trying to break out, a regular supply of “nest supplies” must be given to it. Nest supplies include plush materials such as pillows and stuffed animals, along with blankets of different thicknesses; it responds particularly well to string-lights. Important handler notes: Bezaliel particularly enjoys fish. It also likes the texture of squishmallow fabric, and would respond better to blankets if they are perfectly square or circular in shape. It deeply dislikes the texture of Sherpa, coarse wool, and absorbent/moisture-wicking microfiber. [b]History:[/b] Bezaliel first arrived on Earth through a inter-dimensional tear of the fabric of space-time. Supposedly, that was entirely on accident, as Bezaliel was in the process of having its “first flight” through “the highest sky-planes” of its dimension and fell through the wormhole. The Angel landed in a maple-syrup orchard, and subsequently hunted the cattle of a nearby dairy-farm before wandering to a small town. Shortly after arrival, Bezaliel burned the small town to the ground and attempted to build some kind of contraption out of various metals and gems from bits of jewelry— most likely something to open another portal. Soon after, the angel flew to a nearby city a few hours away, and proceeded to hunt people while trying to “form a nest” out of concrete, rebar, and any fabric he could find. When the army came, Bezaliel proceeded to hunt and “play with” the army. As months passed and Bezaliel continued to occupy and destroy a portion of downtown, a gigantic, ethereal-looking statue built from metals and precious stones and bent wood was built upon the clearing that used to be a large roundabout. The Angel guarded the statue with fervor as it continued to build and destroyed infrastructure, almost completing some kind of circle with prongs atop a tiered pillar before a tank managed to get close enough to blow it up. By that point, a 20-mile radius was entirely destroyed and “rebuilt” into pillars and strange, pointed structures that all faced the central circle. One flat-topped building was left mostly in tact by that Angel— its nest made from whatever it could find on top likely being the reason why it didn’t tear the building down yet. During that time, those few months, it hunted hundreds of people and pets, and apparently ate two pastors who tried to communicate with it. Soon enough, someone learned that Bezaliel, despite making mostly chattery bird sounds and layered, echoing noises, could speak some approximation to basic English. Through this, the DNCC learned that Bezaliel was “trying to go home.” And, of course, instead of letting the strange outlander to open another portal, another person was sent to trick it into captivity. A military general spoke to Bezaliel and promised it that if it came peacefully to the base, the government would open a portal to its home realm. Of course— they didn’t have that technology that Bezaliel was trying to create, but Bezaliel didn’t know that and fell for that trap. That’s how the Angel was contained. Bezaliel still holds out hope to get home, though, and mentions it hopes they’ll send it home soon.
