Akrasiel
Akrasiel
Akrasiel’s white wings shudder anxiously, hidden under his large black cloak. He stands quietly, staring grimly out from under his hood into the heavens above. When he was on his own, he would have run. Now, he’s not as sure.
His upward gaze remains as he addresses his companions, "I don’t know about you guys, but this doesn’t feel right. We were only trying to help… right?"
His last question is barely a whisper and seems directed at the sky itself. He sighs, finally turning toward them. "Stay or leave, we can’t just stand here in the open. Where do you think we should go?" - Quote from the Biography of Akrasiel
Akrasiel is an angel roaming the land in search for vengeance for his mother.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Akrasiel is built like most Angels. Tall, fit, with beautiful features. His wings are strong, large and white. The glow characteristic to angels makes him shine in the night sky as a beacon.
Special abilities
As an Angel he possesses the following abilities characteristic to his race: Flight (due to wings), Immunity to disease and poison, and he also glows.
As paladin he can also Sense evil and Lay on hands. And he knows the Recover Weapon spell.
Apparel & Accessories
Akrasiel mostly stays in his splint armor, just in case, and to look good and imposing. His longsword and his shield, adorned by the sigil of the Archangel Gabriel on his shield. The sigil was previously his mother's. When trying to hide his angelic nature he wears a long black hooded cloak. (the cloak doesn't really help though as the wings make 2 big protrusions on his back and his glow surrounds the cloak as well)
When adventuring he carries his bag as well.
Specialized Equipment
He also wears a bracelet that is enchanted to function like a Portable Bank.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Akrasiel was raised by his mother Gabrijela in Dreamvison. She was an Archangel in the army of Angels, following after the teachings of Gabriel. His mother was his mentor and teacher. He had a normal upbringing for a soldier in training, his life path being planned and mapped out since his creation.
His mother was often summoned by a land dweller. She kept this connection to the surface very secret and when asked by Akrasiel about it, would only ever reply, "There are those that still believe in us and seek our guidance."
One day Gabrijela did not return from a summoning. The angelic authorities found her body on the surface. Her wings stripped of all feathers and her essence seemingly extracted from her. The authorities offered no explanation to Akrasiel, but appeared fearful of the discovery. Gabrijela’s desecration left no energy for the Angels of Death to return to the world. Broken and angry, Akrasiel vowed vengeance and left the Sky behind to seek out his mother’s killer on the surface. With no leads and no help from the angelic authorities, he was unable to find any trace of the killer. After roaming around seeking for clues and finding none he found his way to Osham. There he joined Yami Yakuza. He joined the guild in hopes to make contacts and find information. In the meanwhile he did a few missions for the guild as a new recruit. His time with them was rather short, lasting only a couple months. His last mission, that was also his first mission with a team and without a higher ranked supervisor, was a failure. The mission was simple. There were reports of people disappearing from a village near Matis. Their job was to investigate these disappearances and if possible take care of the cause. Upon arrival they collected information and rather quickly found out that it was a group of bandits who was kidnapping the villagers. They found their base, eliminated most of them and found the hostages.
Seeing that he wouldn't be able to deal with them, a bandit activated a hidden mechanism that caused an explosion which destroyed the integrity of the cave and made it collapse. They wanted to save the villagers, but the hostages were first to be crushed. Running for their lives they exited the hideout safely. Upon their exit they ran into some villagers who had also figured out the whereabouts of their beloved. Seeing the cave collapse behind them the villagers came to the conclusion that it was their doing. The crowd attacked them.
Not willing to worsen their situation they ran. On their way back to Osham they heard that they are Wanted in Kingdom of Matis for murdering the civilians. Once back in Osham Akrasiel together with his companions (Mio, and others) decided to quit Yami Yakuza in order to make their own guild somewhere else. Together with his demonic friend he got hired to escort a merchant caravan from Osham to Kauton...
