Name: Raziel, alternatively known as Galizur

Age: Millennia upon millennia. He came into existence long before life blossomed on Earth. 

Species: Angel (Archangel/Ophanim)

Nationality: Current vessel is British. He himself has none, not being of Earth.

Occupation: Prince of the second realm of Heaven, commander of the Er’el; keeper and revealer of holy (and unholy) knowledge and secrets; writer of the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh. 

Physical: Raziel’s true physical form is not something non-angels can truly perceive in its entirety, being beyond their full comprehension. What is usually seen is a tall being composed of the entire light colour spectrum with eight wings of pale, iridescence blue feathers. 

His vessel - a police officer named Anthony Davies who was rendered brain dead following a car crash - is a white male with light brown hair and blue eyes. He stands at 6′2″ and possesses an athletic build. For he looks physically imposing, his voice soft but confident— inviting and pleasant to all those that hear it. 

Mental: Raziel is above all things wise and just. He is trusted with God’s most intimate secrets, charged with sharing that wisdom to those in need of it. He is a patron angel of laws and protection and thus deplores injustice and cruelty. He has a great love of humanity and the Earth as a whole to the point he has defied his Father in order to help humans and the other sapient beings on the planet. As such he is something of an outcast amongst his fellow angels, despite the great trust and respect his position and rank command. He is gentle more often than not, but is fierce in unleashing divine wrath when he must. 

Raziel - given he also presides over secrets, knowledge and mysteries - is a highly curious creature and so can at times go overboard with his questioning, fiddling and meddling. He simply has to know everything about, well, everything. He also responds rather awkwardly to those in awe of him/those who revere him with great piety seeing himself as a servant to those on Earth, not above them. 

Powers: As an Archangel, Raziel is an immensely powerful being. He is divine and thus the true scope of his power - much like his physical form - is beyond the comprehension of most. He wields the power of holy light and his wings grant him flight (though he can also teleport), he can also make these wings non-corporeal. He has physical strength beyond any earthly creature and wields magic - holy or otherwise - better than any other angel. 

Raziel has a healing touch as well as regenerative abilities and can resurrect the dead. He can also channel his celestial essence through his touch and thus render it deadly to any non-holy creature. He possesses telepathy and clairvoyance 

Held under is domain as an archangel are: knowledge, secrets, mysteries, magic,alchemy, law and protection. These are where his true power and brilliance shines, especially within the writings of his book.

Bio: Raziel witnessed the birth of humanity from numerous sources, including the first children of his Father— Adam and Eve (Do not ask him of Lilith). This is truly where Raziel’s story began, when he ceased to simply be a loyal and devoted Heavenly Prince to his Father. 

It was when the pair were expelled from Eden that Raziel came to Earth. He had grown to love the humans, beyond even what his Father had asked of him and his siblings. Whilst Lucifer had tempted them, drawn them against their creator and caused them to fall from His grace, Raziel reached for them and offered them all that he could so that they might find themselves once more high in God’s esteem, so that they might earn forgiveness. 

To this end he offered them his book: the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh. This book was his greatest labour, a tome of celestial origin (shown by its ability to easily be carried in human hands yet seemingly having endless pages.) that contained all of his Father’s knowledge— the holy and unholy, the mystical and mundane, the secrets known only to God and Raziel and knowledge available to all. Raziel gave this wonderful, dangerous thing to the pair in the hopes they would come to understand the world and God. 

His intentions were nothing but pure and driven by love yet it horrified his siblings all the same. When Raziel left Adam and Eve yet more angels came to Earth to take the book back from the pair - believing it was not a thing any human should possess - and tossed it into the sea. The book has surfaced since, having been in the possession of the prophet Enoch and from him to Raziel’s brother Raphael, and then to Noah. The last known holder of it was King Solomon. 

The book has vanished since, though many obvious forgeries have emerged over the centuries as well as holy texts based on some of the knowledge held within. The true grimoire remains lost but there are many that seek it. Most with ill intent. 

Name: Jago 'Jay' Haider Age: 27 Occupation: 'Works in computers'. In truth a Shade, works as a hacker. Species: Skinwalker Nationality: American (Although through his father could claim joint American-Austrian citizenship.) Physical: Standing at 5'11 and being rather slim and lithe in build, Jago is not at all physically imposing. But he is limber and agile. His hair is dark, and a mess of small curls and waves. Whilst his eyes usually appear hazel, his true eye colour is a faintly glowing silver— The tell-tale sign of a skinwalker. Mental: Jago is quiet, reserved and incredibly shy, his shyness is only made worse by his persistent stammer, and years of bullying because of said stutter have left him rather meek and lacking in confidence. However he is incredibly intelligent. But perhaps loyal and forgiving to a fault. Powers: As a skinwalker, Jago has the ability to take the form of animals. Like all skinwalkers he cannot shift into anything and everything— different creatures are easier for him whilst some are impossible. Jago easiest form to take, and the one he can assume without even thinking about it is that of a raven; other corvids are also easy for him, followed by other bird species. His intelligence is also one of his greatest assets. Bio: Born to a pair of skinwalkers (Whose go to forms are a roe deer and a tabby cat.), Jay's life was average and good for a being of his nature until he was sent to school. He had developed a stammer shortly before beginning his education, his parents thought it was something he would grow out (which he did not.). But children for all they can be understanding can also be cruel, and Jago found himself mercilessly teased from pre-school all the way to high school, as well as being hyper-aware with many teacher's frustration whenever it came to him speaking aloud.

Some days the teasing was better at least, and those days where when a rather tall dark-haired girl with a few anger issues was around. And any bully found themselves nursing a black eye, bust lip or bloody nose. Jago has never been one for violence, but he was happy for respite from the torment.

Although for all he was teased often, he was still a bright thing, especially talented when it came to technology and computers in particular. Whilst researching for a bit of homework the young man (around the age of 16 at the time) came across something he shouldn't have. At the time he wasn't aware of that, he simply thought it was something his computer had block (whether don't to parental locks or the likes.). He managed to worm his way into it, rather easily in fact... Although the contents of what he found soon made him realise it was not something he should've seen... And the visit from a pair of Shades a few days later confirmed. He was made to swear he wouldn't reveal the content, and it was that day he became aware of his hacking abilities.

Name: Antonia 'Ant' Marie Sullivan  Age: 18(Physically 17.) Occupation: Student, formerly worked in a cafe out of school hours. Species: Vampire  Maker: Cavan Lucas Foley Nationality: American.  Physical: Close to average height if a little short (Around 5'5"), rather petite and somewhat delicate-looking in build otherwise. As with all her kind she is rather unnaturally pale, but a few freckles from her time as a human remain, there is also a rather prominent running horizontally down her chest, starting just beneath where the heart lies and continuing down a good few inches. Her hair shifts in colouration depending on the season, being lighter shades of red in summer months, and darker in the winter. Hazel eyes that are almost constantly bright and clear. It's not uncommon for her to have a few paint stains, inkblots or graphite marks on her person. Mental: First and foremost, Antonia is exceptionally cheerful and warm. Friendly to all at first, and the vast majority of folks on following encounters. Somewhat naive in her youth, but not at all foolish and highly inquisitive. Brave, like her Maker but not reckless. Highly in-tune to the emotions of those around her, almost empathic in a sense. This, coupled with her young age also leaves her highly emotional.   Powers: Typical vampiric abilities. (Enhanced strength, speed, ability, senses and glamouring capabilities.) although as she has been a vampire for only a short time, they are unrefined. 

Bio: Ant's life was a completely average affair. One of two children born to a middle-class family, she went to a good school, had mostly good grades with a few minors ones, was planning to study Fine Arts at college, went shopping, browsed the web and practised her art during her free time; even managed to grab a weekend (and whatever other shift she could manage.) job at a cafe in her town.

It was during a later shift in this cafe where the redhead was left locking up late before being able to set off home that she ended up a victim of poor timing, target of a mugger. The girl knew better than to protest but she took longer than her attacker liked. Stabbed in the chest, Antonia was left to bleed out, and would've done too had the scent of the red liquid not drawn Cavan to her.
