Name: Archangel Raphael
Alias/Nickname(s): William Durrow
Age: 200,056
Gender: Male
Race: Fallen angel
Physical Info-
Clothes: A pair of dark jeans held up by a pistol belt, pair of combat boots on his feet. Sometimes Will may wear a black tank top with wing slits to hide the scars on his back or for some form of modesty.
Hair: Jet black, touches the back of the collar if he was wearing a shirt and brushes over his eyes.
Eyes: Will has hazel irises that shimmer crimson whenever he feels a pang of strong emotion such as affection, anger or surprise. Sometimes light catching them will also show their red colour. During the setting and rising of the sun, the sunlight will cause them to stay red until the event is completed.
Build: Standing at 6'3" Will has an imposingly tall and muscular build. However he manages to retain agility despite his large mass. His skin is of a somewhat pale complexion yet bares little natural imperfections.
Marks: After being flogged with holy metal for five centuries as part of his punishment Will's back is a mere shadow of its former self, made of scarred and warped flesh that he often tries to hide. A fading chimera bite from Pasch, a sign he figures of where he belongs.
Unique Features: Part of Will's punishment was to have his wings tainted and turned pitch black, a predominant feature in his appearance. They loom three inches above his head and stop just behind his knees. Another feature is his enlarged canines much like a
as part of his tainted appearance as a fallen angel.
Speech: William's tone has been described as soft and well spoken whenever he speaks to someone in his even volume and pace. However when he is angered or full of emotion he tends to sound like the rumbling of a thunderstorm. His accent is Scottish from the Lowland area.
Scent: Those close to Will have said naturally his bodily scent is like sweet, summer rain in an apple orchard.
Personality-
General Overview: Despite Will's extensively bloody past and his own personal misfortunes he has a kind and gentle soul when it comes to being near people. Will is never cruel and is nothing more than a tender heart wrapped in soft skin. However he can be easily angered whenever those close to him are hurt or endangered which is where he shows his bravery; charging ahead into a situation before fully thinking it through. He sees attachment as strength, rather than a weakness and often maintains good relationships as well as one current romantic interest. Unfortunately for Will he has been unused to such feelings even though living on the mortal plane for twenty six years and as such often finds himself swept away by intense feelings of acceptance from others and his own affection towards those he cares for deeply. .
He takes romance rather seriously and often expresses how he feels the best way he can. Angels, both pure and fallen, see their feathers as their most treasure possession. In all his years of life he has only given two feathers to people, one out of penance and the other out of love. Will also has something of a playful nature to him, often smiling and joking with his friends. Of course he is able to completely change during a battle, becoming cold and emotionless while fighting a foe, which makes him something of a dangerous and relentless enemy.

Ambitions: Currently Will is unsure of any long term goals other than making sure he fits in. Right now he's interested in expanding his knowledge of the more positive areas of human civilisation.
Mannerisms: Whenever Will hears anything between an affectionate comment, a friendly welcome or a lewd suggestion from that certain someone he often gives a smirk which shows his fangs, letting those around him know he's rather interested and pleased with what's being said. On the flip side however he will cross his arms and scowl if the opposite occurs.
If he wants to comfort someone or offer them to be closer to him he will offer an extended wing and then wrap it around them to pull them closer. This is used more as a friendly gesture than a romantic one.
Will, when confused with what is happening before him or whatever he hears, will blink rapidly before stopping as he tries to figure out exactly what is going on.
Abilities-
Being a fallen angel means Will is able to use both celestial and hellish powers but being truly proficient in neither. Where demons would draw power from hell and angels from heaven, Will has to rely on his own finite reserve of energy. If he draws too much from this reserve he starts to bleed from his nose and mouth as the stress wears him down. Some abilities, mostly passive, draw no energy as they are simply part of his nature of being an angel.
William is immortal, not indestructible and is not immune to damage that a human would come up against.
Active Abilities-
Blending: Will is able to use the lack of imagination in most adult humans to walk around in public without them batting an eyelid. He is simply seen as movement at the corner of the eye. However should he do something overt such as fly or fire a gun the illusion is broken and he is able to be seen. Supernatural creatures, physic humans and children whose imaginations are overactive cannot be fooled by Blending. This ability drains no energy.
Tainted Purity Bolt: The Fallen version of an angelic ability; a tainted purity bolt is simply a bolt of angelic energy that has a lightening-like appearance shot from the palm. It mostly damages demonic creatures and has little effect on angels. Where a pure bolt would be white, a tainted one is black. Deadly to sub-humans (Vampires, werewolves, possessed humans.). This ability drains energy.
Teleport: Most creatures have the ability to travel both long and short distances in the blink of an eye and fallen angels such as Will are no different. With a range of five hundred metres Will is able to appear randomly behind an enemy to take them by surprise. This ability drains energy.
Shadow Seethe: While not always evil, fallen angels are tainted in nature due to the fact they pass through Hell for punishment before being deposited onto Earth's surface. This process leaves them with the taint of Hell. Within darkness Hell reigns supreme and Will is able to call on the shadows to fuel his powers but only if there is complete darkness. Any light on his body will negate this power. It is used more as a recharge after a battle than within a battle itself as the Fallen in question are taunted by demons and shadow creatures. This ability produces energy.
Shadow Spear: A Fallen attack that uses demonic energy by shooting a single, dark spike of energy from the forearm. While it can damage demons and sub-humans it is mostly used against their pure brethren. This ability drains energy.
Sacrifice of the Fallen: The process of becoming a fallen angel is both a physically and emotionally traumatising experience that, to date, no Fallen has ever managed to overcome the pain of. Some fallen angels, like Will, often are reminded of this whenever they look into a mirror. It is these angels that are able to delve and bathe within that pain rather than block it. To do so is a most dangerous thing indeed as a Fallen can often go well into their energy reserve to the point of death as they are lost within their memories. When activated, Will is able to push himself even further with rage and pain fuelling what his energy ceased to, long after being depleted. This ability will drain all his energy, and possibly kill him unless he is interrupted by a friend.
Passive Abilities-
Angelic Physique: It is no secret Will is not human and therefore not constricted by human bodily limits. He'll never have to sleep or eat, never get too hot or too cold. His strength is unmatched by any human as is his speed. Of course other supernatural creatures are far stronger, faster or both. Will is nowhere near the perfect being.
Weapons-
Cain: After falling Will named his holy claymore Cain, after the first human to commit murder. It stands five feet long in both blade and hilt. The blade is made from holy metal (Silver and steel) tempered by blessed water making it the ultimate demon killing weapon, as all angels' weapons are. However now that he may have to face his pure kin in battle, Will had the blade etched with demonic ruins to give it a more versatile killing edge.
History-
Long before humans walked along the face of the Earth and worshipped gods, angels and demons had always fought against one another. Will was the youngest and most newly created archangel and had made the duo, three. He was to command the Armies of The Creator against the dark forces and he did so with vigour. Such vigour enough to cause even the most hellish creatures to tremble at the name 'Raphael' or turn tail if he took to the battle which he often did. As a warrior and tactician there was no real match for him though many came close. His merciless brutality towards the enemies of God was legendary and still the denizens of Hell fear his coming once more. As millennia of warfare passed and the blood on his hands grew wetter he became a rather cold hearted man. Then something happened; humanity was created and a pact was drawn. Where most angels scoffed and felt envious of those who now inhabited their new home, Will would often watch with wonder and amazement.
Humanity developed and grew into the society they became; a strange breed indeed. Yet every war, disease and calamity inflicted upon the humans made Will's heart grow heavier. "Father." He said to The Creator. "Will you stand by and do nothing?"
"Our laws and creeds demand aptitude. As does The Pact." The Creator replied.
"Then I will do what you cannot." The archangel replied. He descended from Heaven to where innocent life was being slowly snuffed out by a disease in a hospital, a little girl dying under his gaze. Will had no healing powers to speak of and so he did the next best thing; he comforted her before the end. Placing a snow white feather upon her deceased frame he returned to Heaven to face his punishment.
He stood before the Creator with his jaw taut and his hazel glare blazing with fury at his father to let such innocence be wasted to failings of the body. "I have defied you." He told the Creator, his father.
"You have done so and with eagerness. My own commander, my own archangel. You shall be made an example of. No forgiveness shall be brought upon you. You will wander the world alone and untouched, unloved."
So Will was sent to Hell for his punishment where Lucifer, also a fallen angel, stood with a holy cat 'o nine tails. With it he peeled the flesh from Will's back for it to be branded and burnt. "I take no pleasure in this brother, but The Pact demands it." He told Will. In less time that it takes you to breath five centuries of this punishment had passed. All for showing compassion, for breaking The Pact.
It was the end of Raphael.
It was the beginning, of William Durrow.

' Bloody heck, two jobs and a BUNCH of kerfuffle later, and I'm back AGAIN.
