Character Name: Lien
Species: Archangel
Age/Gender: Seraphim/Androgynous
Description: Hair as black as a starless night falls in wild waves to the small of Lien’s back. The angel makes no attempt to tie back it’s locks, leaving them to fall most often in front of it’s face. Lien has a petite, androgynous build. Though androgynous, the angel is more graceful and beautiful in appearance than most humans. The skin is pale and smooth. Lien’s facial features are oriental with slanting eyes and a lower lip fuller than the top one. Lien stands about five foot even with hands like a piano player and legs like a runner. From Lien’s back sprout six wings that appear to made completely of light and wind. While in heaven, the angel wears the traditional angelic white robes. On earth, Lien can most often be found in light dresses, resembeling the robes it wears in heaven, that flow when the angel walks. Lien walks with an air of certainty, holding itself up high and proud though not arrogantly. The angel just appears to know what it wants and where to get it.
Personality: Like all angels, Lien is forever compassionate and loving. It watches over mankind with curiosity and often pays visits to earth to better understand a person or device. Physical love, anger and violence are foreign concepts to the angel. Lien is wise and logical in all things. Lien doesn’t hold a grudge against the humans for being god’s favorite but simply accepts this as fact. Being an archangel, Lien holds a special distaste for Lucifer and the fallen, though it’s more pity than anger. The angel never refuses a call for help but will not get involved in a situation unless called upon. Lien recognizes that there must be good and evil in the world and that humans have free will. It strives to keep the balance of all three.
Character History: After the flood, God gave humans free will to choose to do good or evil as they wished. To keep an eye on how the balance was maintained on earth, God created Lien. The angel was tasked with watching to make sure the balance of good and evil was kept, ordered to report if the scales were tipped to far.
Over the countless years, Lien has watched over the human realms, only interfering when the scale was tipped to far like during the reign of the human called Hitler.
Now, with Satan awake once more and Lucifer being dethroned, the scales have tipped again. Lien has been sent to earth to aid it’s fellow angels. It’s first stop is a place called London where many of Lien’s comrades have been seen.
Powers: It can enter the human realm in it’s true form or in the guise of a human. The voice of god allows the angel to subtly nudge a human in the right direction. Flight. Teleportation. Great physical and mental strength. Ageless. Lien’s weapon is a long, thin blade known as a katana. It is the creator and giver of dreams.
While on earth, Lien has no voice, symbolizing God's refusal to directly influence mankind. It can speak telepathically, though refrains from doing such when dealing with normal humans. If Lien needs to speak with a human who is unaware of the supernatural, it does so through dreams. In heaven, Lien speaks as freely as any other angel.
Weaknesses: Lien feels no physical touch. If you cut off it’s wings then it is mortal and can be killed. Lien can’t kill without an order from God. Being the angel of balance, Lien has one foot in chaos and the other in serenty, this causes the angel to struggle against falling more than most.
Family/Ties: God, Angels, Fallen
RP Sample:
Sunday found the angel making It's way through the crowds of humans braving the cold weather to take care of daily business. Lien was dressed in a long, flowing coat made of red wool. The tails of the coat whipped gently in the wind as It walked. It never ceased to amaze Lien how different and yet how similar the humans were. Each one was a unique as a snowflake but they all shared common features. The humans were a work of art, history's finest masterpiece, more beautiful than any painting created by mortal hands.
Even more interesting than their beauty were the things the humans made for themselves, those things made of metal and flashing lights called technology. It was Lien's curiosity over this 'technology' that brought the angel to earth today.
Bright red neon spelled out the name of the store. Lien stepped off the sidewalk and through the front door. The door closed with the ringing of a bell, reminding Lien of one of It's favorite human quotes, "Every time a bell rings an angel gets it's wings." Ridiculous of course, but sweet.
Lien made It's way to the wall of 'computers' on display. It placed a pale hand on the wide screen, tilting it this way and that to try and discover how it worked. Next, the angel lifted the large, metal box, turning it over in It's hands.
"Excuse me m'am! Please don't touch that!" A man in a red shirt started towards Lien at a brisk pace, startling the angel out of It's thoughts. Lien quickly placed the box back where It had found it, folding It's hands innocently behind It's back.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" The man asked, his voice clearly showing that he hoped there wasn't. Lien shook It's head slowly in response. The angel had no voice in the human realms so it relied on body language when dealing with normal humans like this man.
"If you change your mind, let me know. Just please don't pick up the display models." Lien nodded, smiling warmly and hoping the man would leave. After a minute he did, leaving Lien to inspect the computer once more in peace though with eyes with time rather than hands.
