[Male | 23| Pre-Mutant/Non-mutant Hybrid| Role within the team]
Angel "Kite" Vega came into his role within H.A.N.D under unique circumstances, having lived the majority of his life as a modern day nomad, or better known as a military brat. Before his conceiving, his mother, who was an ethereally beautiful Cheyarafim(angel-like pre-mutants), had lived many centuries on a seemingly never ending quest to discover her other half, her one and only true love. But to her dismay, this seemed like a fleeting dream. Having given in, once more, to her relentless romantic and sexual whims, she garnered the curse of a vengeful witch, raged over the infidelity the cheyarafim partook in with her husband. It would be this affair, that brought Angel into this world. His birth signified the first time a cheyarafim offspring could use magic.

Unlike his fiercely assertive and high-ranking military father and bubbly cheyarafim mother, Angel developed a much more demure persona. Somewhat awkward and reclused, he speaks in a graceful and overly-respectful manner, and finds interest in the mundane and things not usually looked at with much interest by others. His commonly glazed countenance can make him seem somewhat aloof and dissonant. Despite his wallflower like qualities, he is a rebel who finds joy in the discoveries and oddities of the world and fights back against his so called "destiny". In his eyes, the future is never set in stone. Due to the curse placed on his mother before his birth, he developed a natural connection to the magical energies of the world and is able to pull from these energies to achieve wildly creative feats. This energy is known as mana and it supposedly emanates from the core of the earth. Despite his lack of extensive combat and magic training, Angel is quite competent, although his altruistic and sensitive personality sometimes intrudes in any serious decision making. Underneath his pearly gaze lurks a heavy heart, guilt ridden about having been invited into H.A.N.D by way of nepotism.

Traits and Abilities
-Spellcasting: Having absorbed the mana of the curse that plagued his mother while still in her womb, Angel involuntarily gained access to the fundamental magical skill of casting spells, a skill usually only accessible to natural born witches. Though somewhat lacking in great experience, his spells function like incantations that are written and then recited as verse. They vary widely in length, though typically, the longer the incantation, the more powerful yet draining it is. Spells can be written in virtually any format. However, in order for a spell to work, he must state in the incantation what is lacking before stating what is needed.

-Wings: Like his mother, Angel has the natural born ability of flight due to his large feathered wings. His wings' flexible structure enables him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing(though he typically uses magic to keep them hidden on the surface of his skin like an invisible tattoo, so to onlookers, it looks as though his wings magically vanish and reappear in an instant). Despite their delicate appearance, his wings have superhuman strength. The strength in his wings can easily break a man's arm or leg or even put someone through a wall.

-Flight: Though Angel generally flies beneath the height of clouds, he can reach a height of 10,000 feet with little effort. With severe strain, he can reach the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight(about the height of Mt. Everest), but can only remain that high for several minutes. He can fly nonstop under his own power for a maximum of approximately 12 hours. His normal cruising speed averages around 70mph, though he is capable of diving swoops that reach up to 180mph. He can fly at 150mph without the help of a tail wind for up to half an hour at a time before tiring to an appreciable degree. Angel has undergone heavy training with his mother in mastering his flight indoors. He has superior agility, flexibility, reflexes, coordination, and balance while flying. Besides transportation, the power is especially useful when conducting aerial reconnaissance, evading attacks or escaping capture. It is possible for him to carry others while flying as well and due to his anatomy, he is capable of lifting 500lbs at his peak.

-Aerial Adaptation: Like his mother, Angel's entire anatomy is naturally adapted to flying. His bones are hollow like a bird's, making him weigh far less than usual for a male of his build. His body is virtually devoid of fat and possesses a greater proportionate muscle mass than an ordinary human. His eyes are specially adapted to withstand high-speed winds which would hurt the average eye. He possesses a special membrane in his respiratory system that enables him to extract oxygen from the air at high velocities and altitudes. His physical adaptations give him incredible protection against damage from falling. Angel's body, while far from invulnerable, is far more resistant to blunt force trauma than an ordinary human, an adaptation that allows him to withstand large amounts of friction while in flight. His body processes food more efficiently than a normal human body and as a result, his strength, speed, agility, flexibility, endurance, reflexes, coordination, balance, eyesight, and hearing are at their peak. Elements of his anatomy are comparable to those of birds, especially birds of prey.

Vocal Manipulation: Like his mother, Angel possesses a set of vocal cords that can produce a sonic frequency beyond the range of human capability. This allows him to create multiple sounds or voices at once. His ability also allows for more fine-tuned and distinctive vocal control to achieve feats such as hypnosis. He can even copy any sound he has heard or imagined.

H.A.N.D. Status
Angel is one of the fairly new recruits of H.A.N.D. His induction via nepotism has left him with a lingering grip of guilt and doubt. He has indeed, acquired some minor military training via his father and extensive flight training from his mother, but the fact that he didn’t actually participate in WW1 and that his magic is so undeveloped, has somewhat left him feeling incompetent and less resourceful than the other agents. His father is a proud high-ranking soldier who participated in the war and though grateful to have made it back alive, couldn't help but feel disappointed that his son didn't fight along side him. Angel has primarily joined H.A.N.D. to appease his father, but he isn’t quite sure if this is where he belongs, no matter how much he may want to please his father.

History
Angel’s mother was a hopelessly romantic cheyarafim who originated from Spain and lived many centuries with a drive to find her one true love. Throughout the cheyarafim community, she became particularly famous for having married seven different noblemen and then acquiring their entire riches after each of them died in a different and strange (and unsolved) manner. It was her bad luck, perpetuated from a curse placed on her by a scornful witch(Angel's mother was caught in an affair with the witch's husband) that caused misfortune to fall upon any man that she may fall in love with.

Having become pregnant by her final lover(Angel's father), a high ranking soldier stationed in Spain, it was Angel's birth that broke the witch's curse. His birth, the opposite of death, was the crescendo and epitomic representation of his parent's true love for one another. In breaking the curse, he ultimately saved his father from another misfortunate death. The witch's mana that fueled the curse, now broken, was absorbed by Angel's body while he was still in the womb. Her magic subsequently passed on to him, marking the first time in history a cheyarafim has been able to use magic like a witch.

Since his birth, he moved with his mother and father from Spain to one place after another. His father was being stationed in many different places for short periods of time and exposed him to the grandiosity of the world. While this nomadic lifestyle allowed Angel to experience many different countries and cultures that most others would never be able to do, this in turn made it hard for him to settle in and make friends. This ultimately led to his somewhat awkward and shy temperament that is today. It was during these "adventures" that he developed his love of art, singing, literature, and music as a way to express his not-so outward excitement. When his wings finally grew in during adolescence and his body began to change like that of a bird of preys, his mother gave him extensive flight training, and over the course of years, he was able to hone his flying abilities. Despite this way of living however, Angel quite enjoyed it, and like his mother, developed a cry for love, adventure, and discovery.

As his artistic soul developed, and as he got older, many of his paintings, drawings, songs, and writings portrayed all the many places he lived. When his father went off to battle in WWI, the original plan was for Angel to go to war with him. However, at the pleading and begging request of his mother, Angel was able to avoid participating in WWI, and ever since, has found himself in a somewhat regretful state. To make his guilt even worse is that his father utilized nepotism to grant his son entry into H.A.N.D. as a means of his son "making up" for not participating in WW1.

The lingering thoughts always replay in his head. Did his mother think he was not capable enough to participate in the war? Did his father think he was not capable enough to enter into H.A.N.D. on his own? These questions, at least to him, need answers. And despite the circumstances of his strange upbringing, this is the time for him to form his destiny and prove his own capabilities and worth, not just to his parents, but to himself. Maybe through H.A.N.D., he can find his...purpose.

Miscellaneous

When he gets really serious or focused, he ties his long hair into a bun or a ponytail. He is also bisexual. He speaks fluent English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

-Artistic and Musical Talent: Angel is an exceptional artist and painter, plays the clarinet and violin, and regardless of his pre-mutant abilities, he is an excellent singer.
