Barakiel Player Information Player Name Cheshire Contact ivoryandhorn | Cheshire#9758 AKA Currently: Ace, Cecy @ Imeeji, Isidore Marquet @ Sidereal Previously: Ace @ Aather, Barakiel @ Court, plus some other losers. Character Basics Character Name Barakiel Series/Canon OC AU/PG/Canon Point n/a Game sidereal_rp Canon Details Barakiel is an angel from a Megaten-flavored universe where Heaven = Law and Hell = Chaos, locked in eternal war for territory and dominance over a range of alternate Earths. Angels and/or demons are extra-dimensional beings who stuff themselves into meat puppets in order to manipulate human society(ies) toward pure Law or pure Chaos. Other supernatural or holy beings exist and generally wish angels and demons would get it together and quit fucking shit up for everyone. Anyway. A long time ago, Lucifer rebelled and fell and there was a war! Wow, what a surprise. Barakiel was one of the brightest lights on Heaven's side. And then, after that war, Heaven decided that Barakiel was a little too much shounen hothead and not enough mindlessly obedient soldier. So they imprisoned, tortured, and bound him, because even if he wasn't proper, he was still useful. And then Heaven used him to do the dirty work that they didn't want proper angels to do or even know existed. Things went on in this fashion for a long-ass time. Then, one of Barakiel's higher-ups fucked up and pinned the blame on him. Incapable of speaking in his own defense, Barakiel was railroaded directly into an execution to cover everything up. Unfortunately, execution of an angel and/or demon takes a really, really long time -- and as of his arrival, Barakiel's only just begun that torturous process. Character Details Age old as balls (appears mid-20s) Hair/Eyes Black/Yellow Height/Weight 5'10"/skinny Notable Traits Covered from the neck down in intricate black tattoos of seals of binding and control, visible around the edges of his clothes. He doesn't make special efforts to hide them. 15 Second Summary He looks like a shorter color-swapped Tyki Mikk. His hair's always down and he doesn't have the stigmata marks that is in some of his icons. Typically wears simple modern clothing in black and white, usually rumpled. Smokes, like, a lot. Fond of baking and rose-themed items (but not actual roses). Personality-wise he is cynical and apathetic, largely resigned to his long and crappy life, and mostly interested in wringing out what happiness out of it that he can. He's more or less resigned to living and dying as a tool and he became okay with that a long time ago. Really. He hates attachments but somehow gets attached anyway and he really wishes he could just stop doing that. In interactions with others, Barakiel comes across as a laid back, low-key sort, unperturbed by nearly anything and everything. He's secretive in an unsubtle way and hates sharing details about his past. He's uncomfortable around other angels, demons, gods, or beings with comparable power. (This version of Barakiel is a soft reboot; he does not remember anything from Court.) Abilities & Permissions Abilities Barakiel is a blob of eldritch holy multi-dimensional nonsense crammed into a teeny little meat puppet. - Body mimics living human in most ways but smells(/tastes?!) strangely inorganic. Doesn't require sustenance or rest, regens from damage, largely impervious to environmental conditions. Not noticeably stronger/faster/etc. than a human body of similar build. - Can briefly manifest halo/wings of light, with great effort. It's still kind of weird to experience though. - Seals of binding/control limit his ability to manifest his ~true form~ and give whoever they're attuned to complete control over him. He cannot disobey their commands and cannot act to endanger them. They in turn can permit him to manifest more of his ~true form~ and cause him pain. Currently attuned to no one, for which he will be very grateful. - Elemental control over electricity. He can call lightning bolts, recharge your phone, create rotating electrical currents in thin air for manipulation of metal. Pretty much no limits. It's magic, bitch. - Very skilled baker. Specialty is bread of all kinds. Permissions No hard "no" things come to mind, but please get in touch if it looks like violence, sexy times, etc. might happen. Barakiel does come with some potential warnings for suicidal attitudes and body dysmorphia (not gender-related). He is also quite uncomfortable with most physical contact, which I don't mind playing personally, but may not be everyone's bag to read/play. Please let me know if you'd like me to avoid these or any other things! Plurk, Discord, DW (PM or this post - comments are screened), or email (ivoryandhorn @ gmail) are all fine. Sensing Barakiel is full of HOLY and also LIGHTNING. If you have super senses you might pick up his body smells faintly inorganic in a weird way, not in the sense of being a machine, just. not quite right. In turn Barakiel's pings are very finely tuned to HOLY and INFERNAL and DIVINE and that sort of nonsense. Beyond that he can pick up "magic???? maybe??" and that's about it.
