This kind of stuff is rare and difficult to obtain, and if you can find it, it's expensive. In basic terms, it's technology powered by Magic.
And on the more sinister side, it's a technology powered by life-force and SOULS! >D

Finally doing my GM duty. Sorry, Echo, Syn, to keep you all waiting.
There are 2 main things in her bio you should think about.
1- Problem: Since Surface was only created when the humans were created, it’s impossible for her to have inhabited it prior to their creation.
Solutions: She COULD, however, have been in a region which wasn’t populated immediately. Alternatively she could have been a Weather in Heaven and then dropped on the Surface during the Great War where she continued her duty. Lastly, you could say she was one of the first settlers of Surface (which means she must have been killed in Heaven and been reborn on the Surface OR she convinced Chime to let her through the gate (she only would if she knew Cerria would not cause any trouble for the humans).) You could also say she didn’t mind the humans at first because they were weak and lived in peace with nature.
2- Why the pollution of her land affects her. I would say since both radiation and CO2 exist in nature you could say that it’s the misplacement or increase of concentration of naturally occurring elements that affects her (like an overdose). Or if it’s brought from elsewhere – the intervention/injection of another essence in her own (the essence of another weather angel or a human one (artificially created) that seeps into her through her land.) Additionally, Yoshu mentioned that perhaps she's abnormal because she's an archangel/weather angel at the same time, causing a deeper resonance/connection with her environment's state/essence than is normal which results in her being affected.
* Why can she move about freely?
a) Since the fall of Hell’s gate the regions the Weather angels gain their powers from (above Rifts in the void) have been expanded and now cover most of the surface world.
b) The radiation that’s become a part of her has spread far and wide.
c) Since she’s not a pure Weather angel but also an Archangel.
Additionally I should point out that you shouldn’t worry about her moving around – this RP barely ever involves any travelling so even if she’s bond to a certain region you can still interact with us freely if we say the story is set exactly there.
I’d also add that the Council had made a few attempts on her life but always failed. (they were devoted to protecting the humans but very very few of them could take on a Weather. You could use that as an interesting retrospective side-story.)
Also, this is something you won’t find written anywhere but it’s just a by-passing note and an unwritten rule. When referring to the essence that’s in all things we write it with lower case “e”. When it’s “Essence” with a capital it refers to a specific creature that was created some 225 years ago from the remains of Heaven’s gatekeeper Chime and her Violin. That creature was what was dubbed “Essence of the world” since it could alter reality.
All in all, I really liked your CS. I don’t think there’s too much to worry about. I saw Syn went very in-depth with the lore (which I’m eternally grateful for) but your own attempt wasn’t too far off anyway. I hope you have enjoyed reading it still and found it somewhat interesting. So yeah, just add or alter a few sentences and I think you’ll be fine. ^^
Can’t wait to see your character in action – I warn you that with her temper she might get more enemies than friends if she ends up causing the same havoc in the city S2 is set in.
(Which we have to decide upon actually………)

Social Status: Outcast - As a Weather Angel Alluvia was left to her own devices by most Angels and largely unknown to others. Since leaving her own land she has retained this outsider nature, though her tendency to unleash the destructive forces of nature wherever she goes has given her a fearful reputation.

Don't panic, Echo, we'll give you some practical advise later today. :)

Sorry for the lack of clarity on these things. We've been, slowly, trying to compile the utter shitton of lore we have in Essence and it's seriously difficult >_>
He said it. ^ ^; I'm really sorry, that's a problem of my attitude to RP-ing - I always have very simple basics and then build up on things together with players as I go along and tie loose ends when they come up. And we've had many loose ends since we've had a lot of extraordinary characters -for the sake of the world's and the story's richness.
But... I just want to point out, this is a world we all build together. As such, Echo, don't be scared not to know everything from the very start - none of us really do and much of a character's creation is subject to creative debate and brainstorming. I have started this thread specifically with the idea to not bother new players with too much information if they don't want to remember tons of details. As such, you're free to suggest things that you'd like to do and it's up to us to implement your ideas into the whole. So... I'll check your CS tomorrow (in 24 hours), you change whatever you think you should change and we work from there.
So, the basics you shouldn't overstep are that Weather angels are a channel (link) of natural powers (elements). Traditionally they can't leave their area BUT considering yours is an archangel, Rtron has a point that she's not entirely and -only- an archangel. So just tell us in your CS what sort of character you'd like to play and we'll tell you if anything is drastically wrong (though Syn probably clarified some grey areas).
Update: The first post is now updated with the characters and an extra site. :)
Heh no prob, happy to have some new characters. :)
Yeah, as long as you can pull it off and know what you're doing we're open for anything. ^^
Heh ok, it sounds fun. Just keep in mind Essence has nothing to do with the Bible and we pretend it doesn't exist in this world - if it does it'd be some human lore that the angels and demons don't necessarily care about. Jesu Christo and Judas Iscariot may sound Biblical but that was just a pun on a player's side. So yeah, just make sure to fit your CS to the lore of this story - it's on the site in the first post.
It is bit you'll have to read a lot of how things were. An Archangel would either be an ex-Council member or had been sealed in Onyx and was recently released. But since we never had angels of death before he'd fit better if he was a new breed.
Hey guys! Glad to hear ideas sprouting up and Rtron covering for me.
How age works here (for angels) is this - they're basically humans with wings attached (aka id fetched they become humans called fallen angels). Those wings hold the angelic soul and give them power. They rarely lived over a human lifespan while the gate was up. Now both angels and humans live slightly longer by some 50 years, give or take. And some got even older.
