Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Adriel is tall and slim, with not much muscle mass to speak of.

Special abilities

  • Temperance Embodiment: As the Guardian of Temperance, Adriel possesses the following abilities:
    • Calm State/Clear Mind/Life Floating: Adriel's temperance extends to his emotional and mental state, and when he focuses, he is prevented from feeling anything too strongly, or having any excessive thought. He displays a "oneness" with the world around him, "floating" through life and effortlessly able to deal with any threat without even thinking too much about it — in other words, the right course of action simply "comes" to Adriel, as if he'd known it all along. In theory, this ability makes Adriel the strongest and most powerful of the Seven Virtues, but his combat aversion prevents him from actively seeking out victory.
      • Action/Reaction Mastery
      • Apprehension Immunity
      • Automatic Self-Preservation
      • Auto-Reflexes
      • Inner Balance
      • Pain Suppression/Reactionlessness
    • Temptation Immunity: Adriel cannot be coerced into any form of excess, such as overeating or purchasing expensive goods, or be convinced to try any harmful substances, such as illegal drugs or alcohol.
  • Supernatural Condition: As an angel, Adriel gains the following natural boosts:
    • Supernatural Strength, Type III: Adriel has godlike strength, able to lift whole skyscrapers and destroy mountains.
    • Supernatural Speed, Type II: Adriel is able to move incredibly fast, becoming invisible to the naked eye. He can outpace any form of transportation that currently exists.
    • Supernatural Reflexes: Adriel can react to an attack or movement many times faster than even an elf.
    • Supernatural Perception/Detection: Adriel is able to sense life force, magical signatures and heat signatures, allowing nothing to evade his notice.
    • Supernatural Senses: Adriel's sense of hearing, smell, sight, and touch are greatly heightened compared to all other races.
    • Transcendant Photomancy: Adriel's magical abilities and power are on the level of a minor god.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As a cherub, Adriel was very laid-back, and mostly went at his own pace. He didn't worry about much, and preferred not to get involved in any conflict. As an angel, he kept these qualities. He never tried to do something he knew he couldn't do, and was pretty responsible when it came to things people asked of him. In school, his grades were average, but what set him apart was how solitary he was; he rarely attended parties or social gatherings, prefering to relax at home. His teachers held him up as a model student, not for his academic ability, but his ability to resist most vices other angels indulged in from time to time, such as partying, excess eating, etc.   Most of the other students left Adriel alone, but there were a few similar-paced students he got along with quite well, and although they didn't say much to each other, simply hanging out was enough. When Adriel graduated, he was unsure what to do with his life. However, he was surprised when some of his buddies said they wanted to join the military, so Adriel tagged along to see what it was like. Having a drill instructor didn't sit well with Adriel, and he frequently got disciplined for his laid-back approach to combat. However, when it mattered, he was proficient enough that he was never discharged.   On the battlefield, Adriel generally stuck to the back, or was assigned recon missions, as he didn't much care for being on the front lines. He rose up the ranks slower than most, naturally, but for him it was never about status or victory; it was about making a difference in his own, small way. After refusing a secret party that was being held at the barracks when they were off-duty, the symbol of Temperance appeared above Adriel's head: A fork, knife, and plate with a prohibition circle layered over top. To Adriel's dismay, this made him one of the Seven Virtues. He tried many times to refuse the promotion to general, but his superiors stated that his new status had been chosen by Evelyn herself, and he couldn't refuse.   Although he later met the other six Virtues, he requested that they handle most of the important duties, and only call him when it was absolutely necessary. Cera and Vervios objected, but Mikhail and Serro backed Adriel up, understanding that he wasn't unwilling to help them, but he had his own life and priorities too. They found it a reasonable ask, and so Adriel was only to be called for meetings and in dire need, which he greatly appreciated. At present, Adriel remains in Heaven, spending most of his time either solo or with several of the other Virtues.

History

Adriel and Vervios became allies and friends when he joined the Seven Virtues. Vervios initially had his reservations about Adriel, and objected when Adriel said he wanted to be left alone. But since that time, Adriel has always appeared whenever absolutely necessary, so Vervios has softened his approach. They get along fine most of the time.
