This is a secondary character I have made to be friends with Vishanial.
Angel Name: Raziel (Angellic) , Raziel Parker (Human)
Age: 18 (Apparent)
Gender: Male
Species: Israfel (Angel of Song - a Angel that inspires Music and feelings of new Hope)
Alignment: Chaoic Good
Occupation: Comic book store clerk
Pets/Creatures/Summons: Tindomerel (Summons) A spirit creature that takes the shape of a nightingale. Tindomerel acts as a companion to Raziel and has no special capabilities beyond that of a normal bird. Tindomerel is normally referred to as a female in gender by Raziel, and he often speaks to her in confidence. As a summoned creature, Tindomerel has a extended life line. She can be dismissed by Raziel if wounded, and depending on the depth of her wounding she may recover in a few days during her state of dismissal.
Harp:(Summons) Raziel may summon at whim a small golden harp into one of his free hands. The entirety of the harp appears as gold, including the strings, and emits a soft glow. Holy in origin, the harp will burn the hand of any demonic entity that touches it, and it will cause a human touching the harp to feel a sort of pins and needles sensation up their arm. The harp is nearly indestructible by mundane and mortal means, but will suffer normal damage from a infernal or holy source. Raziels harp is a direct manifestation of his own Holy Spirit..
Physical Description: Raziel stands a slim five feet four inches tall. His pale skin is topped by a shock of bright, chin length, crimson hair that is often mistaken for being dyed. His eyes are a amber gold color, however they are mistakenly seen as a warm brown by most humans. Raziel dresses most commonly in black vinyl pants that cling low on his slender hips. A mesh long sleeve shirt of gold clings like a second skin to his body, allowing the faint toned muscles of his chest to be glimpsed. About each wrist he wears wrappings of shiny black material that binds all the way up to his elbows. A matching strap of gold material circles his head in the form of a thin band, with most of his hair falling over it, knotted in the back, and with a long tail that falls in equal length of his hair. A gold cross hangs prominently on his chest, with a pair of small cross earrings in each of his ears. Razial often dusts his eyelids with gold and lines them with a smokey black to accent his eyes in a angular manner. There is always clipped to him somewhere a MP3 player and he almost always has at least one earbud in a ear, or at least hanging around his neck.
Personality Description: Amiable is the best word to describe Raziel. A smile seems to come easily to his face and he is hardly ever pessimistic. Raziel has a hopeful outlook on even the most dismal of situations. He is charitable and has been known to go out of his way to help those who seem to need it, regardless of whether or not they have asked for it. Raziel is not a wide eyed innocent with the inability to understand evil acts or thoughts. He fully understands evil and it's motives. However, he chooses to believe that in most cases the desire for what is good is predominant in humans.
Special Abilities: Serentity Song A active ability, the duration of it's effect remains so long as Raziel is capable of continuing of singing. As Raziel sings he is able to convey a sense of hope and inspire joyful feelings in humans. The spell has no direct effect on angels and demons aside from sounding terribly pretty.
Discordia: This ability requires the use of Raziels harp. Upon summoning it, Raziel may strum upon it's strings and cause a blast of sound based energy to surge forth in a predetermined direction. The blast has a range of 20 feet, after which it loses it's effectiveness, and a radius of eight inches in size. The damage inflicted by the sound blast is treated as Holy energy.
Empathic Touch: By touching flesh to flesh, Raziel is capable of conveying his own emotions into a human. Hope, joy, love, and encouragement are often the emotions that he shares. Raziel is also capable of picking up on strong surface emotions in those that he touches in turn. He is incapable of determining the source of these emotions, and he can not alter them in any way. The subject that Raziel touches may resist the empathic sending and may easily block the reading of their own emotions by being guarded and keeping their emotions buried. While Raziel can share in any sorts of emotions that his touched subject may be feeling, he is only capable of sharing positive emotions. This ability is rarely used upon other Angels, as they will be instantly aware of the connection being made and may choose to completely close themselves off to Raziel or they may respond by empathic lashing back along the connection by focusing a single strong emotion and willing it to surge into Raziel if they take offense. This power is not intended for use on demonic entities, as with Angels they will be instantly aware of the connection being made and may choose to respond with a empathic whip lash of their own. The side effects of a empathic whiplash include, but are not limited to; headaches, temporary blindness, nosebleeds, and a temporary unconscious state.
Wings Raziel may summon forth a pair of white-gold hued feathered wings. These wings have a slightly overly fluffy look to them, much like a newborn birds wings just as they are becoming mature.
Special Defenses: Circle of Strings This ability requires Raziels harp. By playing a specific melody, Raziel summons glowing gold lights shaped like harp strings from his harp. These strings swirl about him and whomever he has in close proximity. As long as Raziel remains playing his harp, these glowing strings swirl and sway to counter any physical attack. Most commonly they can counter physical projectiles, such as bullets and throwing objects. They also provide a resistant barrier against someone seeking to come in close to Raziel and act as a buffer to any attacks. This spell does not stop energy based attacks or any attack that does not have a physical element to it. The Circle of strings has a maximum of a ten foot radius centered on Raziel.
Weaknesses: Harp This object is a manifestation of Raziels own Spirit. Should the harp sustain any damage, it would be reflected upon Raziel directly. (IE- A harp string is cut, a wound would appear upon Raziel in the form of a long gash.) It is unknown what would occur or if Raziel would be capable of surviving the complete destruction of the harp.
Youth Raziel is quite young by Angel standards. As such he lacks the wisdom, power, and skill of most Angels. He is at times referred to, in a chastising or affectionate manner, as Cherubim.
Non-Combatant: Raziel is a angel that was not created with combat in mind. His was a place meant to be in heaven lending his sweet voice to the ears of the holy. As such he is unsure in violent situations and seemingly lost or incapable of lashing out in a manner that could wound another. Raziel abhors the infliction of harm on others, be they human or even demon. As such he will always attempt to subdue or use any means available to him to avoid hurting another.
Quirks: Raziel began his creation as a cherubim (Hence the reference to him as such at times) however, he allowed himself to mimic the aging of the humans in his fascination of them. He has seemingly ceased his aging at a teens age, so as to better understand the youth of human kind.
Raziel loves comic books. They amuse him. They inspire him. And yes, sometimes they scare him. Comic books give him what he feels is a glimpse into the creative minds of the current ages youth. He see's the comics heroes and villains as a mimicking of the forces around them that they do not quite understand. He finds the X-men amusing, and Thor he utterly finds hilarious. He's still trying to puzzle out Spawn. Though he seems to adore Spiderman and Batman.
Raziel lives in a van. Yes. He is the stereotypical vagabond male that sleeps and lives out of a big white van. Thus is explained why he rarely wears anything different. When the need arises for him to cleanse the dirt of the world from him he makes use of the bathrooms of various 'friends' he has made among the regulars of the comic book shop he works at. Though Raziel only eats when in the company of humans, he still needs to pay for the gas of his van and ensure it's in working condition.
Raziel adores music. It doesn't matter what genre it is. It does not matter what age the music is from. He loves it. He can often be found be-bopping to different styles of music at the comic book store as he opens or closes. He is always seen with a MP3 player and some form of music playing out of at least one ear bud.
History: Not all angels are born adults, and not all cherubim remain young. Raziel is one of the rare few examples of this. Though he is not yet a full adult in form. Raziel shall never obtain the full power of a adult formed angel either, but this has never been a issue for the angel. His interest has always remained strongly on delivering music and hope to others. ~In His own Words~
I have sat aloft in heavenly paradise. I have played music that has made other angels tear up for. I have always enjoyed my life. I have loved my fellow angels. My brothers and sisters. I have seen so much wonder and good that I am in everlasting awe.
I have gazed upon the humans and I have seen in them wonder too. I see why God loves them so much. I have seen their own beauty and capacity for wonder. Oh... god... How I have loved them.
When my brothers looked upon the daughters of man, and saw them beautiful...I too was among them. I came to earth and formed for myself a body of flesh from clay. I took from the daughters wives and...and God forgive me. I loved them. Samatha...Ruthe... I took them as my wives and I loved them so much. I had sons. Eric and Matthius were their names. I was still so much a child though, and my sons were as corrupt as the rest of their kind.
The flood came...and I stayed with my wives. Or at least I tried to stay with them but... I was not allowed. It is not noted in the bible, but some of us did not abandon our wives so easily. But what could I do? I could not die a humans death and be with them. My brothers came and took me from the earth, even as I watched the waters swallow the human women I had come to love as much as I did my own angelic brethren.
I have been repenting this sin ever since. I have suffered my own grief, knowing my actions brought about the destruction of so many humans. In heaven I have lived, and not once have I seen Samantha or Ruthe. I fear I know where they reside and it tears at my heart. It is my actions that surely have led to their damnation. My son's too I have not seen again.
I have learned my err, I have repented. I shall not stray from Gods way ever again.
Raziel has been true to his personal vows. He has kept himself from forming any sort of physical bonds with any human, though he finds them lovely. Instead he focuses on attempting to encourage humans in these hard times. He has attempted to provide a good friend to those in need in the hopes of someday making amends with humanity for bring about the deluge that he blames himself in part for.
