PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION / ATTRIBUTES
Slate looks about twenty-five and stands 6'2", possessing a heavily muscled 240 pound build. His skin tone is pale, his thick hair coal black and maintained in a shorter style with long bangs that occasionally fall over one of his blue eyes. They're not, however, actually blue but a vivid violet that begins to show when he's angered and using his unnatural abilities.
From being shot in the face when he was a kid, Slate has a vicious scar on his right cheek. From a similar beating, he has a scar on the left side of his forehead.
A large, circular tattoo comprised of Enochian symbols will appear on his chest when he utilizes his Angelic abilities to the point of exertion.
He's usually in jeans and a t-shirt, and come cooler weather prefers his old, beaten trench coat.

PERSONALITY
Slate's had some time to get comfortable with himself. During his time in Europe he explored his Angelic heritage and developed his skills with Enochian magic, although he still has a lot to learn. He's a quiet individual, preferring his own company to that of others, which is mainly due to the fact that he still struggles with emotions that he once took for granted. He won't object to company, just doesn't seek it out.
An an Angel he has a strong sense of justice, and delivers it harshly when the need may be. He loves music and spending time in pubs. Being mechanically minded he loves tinkering with electronics or engines, possessing the ability to work on complex schematics in his head.
Bound to the laws of the 'Old Testament', Slate can come across as overly religious, always quoting Biblical passages and comparing things to the stories. Unable to easily separate the religion from his life, the Angel tries to at least subdue the jargon as much as possible to fit in better.
Unable to lie, Slate often chooses to say nothing at all, but once in a while he trips up and says precisely what he shouldn't. He still enjoys female company, just no longer has the desire to be intimate.

SPECIES
Angels have no 'free will'. They are bound to a strict sense of rules in accordance with the 'Old Testament' of Christianity. They adhere to absolutely nothing pertaining to new world Christian regions, especially Evangelism. Angels are disgusted by these 'fake' religions. 'Old Testament Angels', are particularly vicious, even torturous if their actions are considered just. Theirs is a very black and white world. You break the rules, you pay for it. They must ALWAYS tell the truth, that is the truth as they are able to perceive it. They cannot outright lie. They can only choose not to speak.
They CANNOT sin as Humans can and MUST observe the laws as set by the SEVEN DEADLY SINS: pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, and wrath.
PRIDE: the excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
ENVY: is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
GLUTTONY: is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Angels cannot become drunk.
It is not that they are forbidden, they simply can't. They cannot be gluttons.
GREED: is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. Angels do not desire material wealth.
LUST: is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Angels do not crave such things. Angels are abstinent, they do not partake in sexual relations nor desire carnal pleasures. They are not the Grigori, the Eighth Choir who lied with women, the Angels that exist upon Earth have no physical desires toward Humans, thus physical relationships cannot exist.
SLOTH: is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
WRATH: is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. Angels carry out the Wrath of God, releasing his fury upon those who sin and break His laws.
No Angelic characters deviating from this description are allowed. There are NO half-angels or fully adjusted Angel characters.
ENOCHIAN MAGIC
All Angel Amalgams, have an Enochian Wheel symbol on their chest or back which is a sigil that binds them to Earth. The large tattoo is not ink, their flesh has been turned black, but the symbol is not always visible, only when they use Enochian magic or exert their inhuman abilities. The Enochian sigil is unique for every Angel and allows those who understand the mystical symbols to decipher their Angelic name and their place in the hierarchy. All Angels can use Enochian magic. This form of incanting is primarily based on the use of sigils and glyphs, the rest is up to the writer's interpretation.
ENHANCED PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
Angels are strong, the level of which can greatly vary but there are NEVER any who are not stronger than Humans. They are quicker, and more resilient, there durability usually directly proportional to their strength. They heal quicker than Humans, and there bodies will mend just about any amount or form of damage completely if they have proper rest and medical care.
AGING
Most Angels do not age, but as time goes on, there may be some that allow themselves to. For now, this is not a factor in our setting.
HALLOWED GROUND
Holy ground replenishes them. It allows them to heal quicker, but an Angel can never spill blood on consecrated ground. They simply can't. An irresistible force prevents them from causing physical harm. They can only physically move a person if they are committing an act of injustice.
SIGHT
Angels have amazing vision. Able to see in low lit conditions better than a cat. They also possess the ability to see great distances and hear what they can see. This telescope sight can traverse miles, only hindered by obstacles and curvature of the Earth. They have a very slight eye-shine, but nothing a person might definitively find peculiar unless they're allowed to study the anomaly for a while which Angels will not allow.
RESONANCE
Everything resonates 'sin' and 'reverence'. This ability allows them to become attuned with the 'Resonance' and sense the frequency of evil and goodness around them. This ability also allows them become in tune with beings they've met before, able to sense their presence and even track them over long distances. This requires a great amount of concentration and the frequency of people are a factor, making this ability unreliable over great distances. (There are of course ways to hide from this).
DETECT LIES
Angel's can sense lies. They won't know specifically what a person may be lying about, but they'll know that they are. One might consider this an amazing ability, but it's one that comes with a consequence in that they cannot ignore the lie. They have to address it in some manner, either by stating it or doing something to rectify the sin. To Angel's, sins are injustices that they have no choice but to address. It is a strict moral code they MUST live by.
*Slate is particularly perceptive and along with his ability to Detect Lies he possesses as enhanced sensitivity allowing him to pick up on emotions and vague surface thoughts. He can't read minds, he just channels a heightened insight.
HERALDING
Some Angels possess an excessive booming voice with the power. When they shout it can be likened to thunder, shatter glass and impacting eardrums with a deafening shock. It's a power not often exacted, and one that also provides Plymouth with an amazing singing voice.
Like all preternatural beings the powers of an Angel are reliant upon the level of magic and the belief around them. In some situations they can be an extremely powerful, in others no more so than a Human. It all depends on the situation.

HISTORY
Plymouth was born in Jersey City, to Cole and Heather Weir. They were Irish immigrants, and the name Plymouth resonated with their perceptions of America. His middle name, 'Slate', was play on his father's name and would eventually serve as his stage name, 'Slate Blue'.
Cole Weir was a Jersey City Cop, the parameters of his precinct extending into New York City, and Plymouth grew up not really distinguishing between the two areas. He was as much a New Yorker as he was a kid from Jersey, unfortunately many kids didn't share his attitude. They made fun of his accent, picked on his differences, and bullied. He was small for his age, further expanding that target on his back, but Plymouth was a fighter. He had a strong, inborn sense of justice just like his father. There was right, and there was wrong, there was no in-between, so he systematically sought out each and every kid that picked on him and distributed his brand of violent justice on them. He moved from school to school, labeled 'problematic".
Labels have a way of branding a person, transforming their life, but Plymouth was branded long before he was even born. His father, Cole was descendant of the heralds of God, of the Angels. The blood, yet dormant, still had a profound affect and who they were. Back to the beginning, the Weirs had always been soldiers or police officers, always serving society in the capacity of law enforcement. Strongly devoted to the Catholic faith, Cole practiced the 'Old Testament' and the teachings spilled into daily life. It reinforced Plymouth's strong sense of 'black-and-white' justice.
Plymouth lost his father when he was fourteen, killed during a raid against a White Supremacist cult of Neo-Nazis. From that point on, the boy had a deep-seeded hatred of these people, he sought them out, ended up in the hospital a few times. When Plymouth was sixteen he was shot in the face, the bullet passing through his right cheek, leaving a vicious scar.
A good friend of Cole's, his police Captain, Spencer Silverman tried to watch over Plymouth. To channel his rage he focused the young man on training that would prepare him for the police force, he also paid for music lessons, building on the young man's natural talent. He quickly became an accomplished guitarist.
The moment he was old enough, Plymouth joined the Jersey City Police. He was a good cop, but when it came to dealing with White privilege, he could hardly contain his anger. He found just as much racism on the force, and over the years he made a lot of enemies.
After May 14th, 2011, a twenty-five year old Plymouth was transformed. His latent celestial blood-line pulled the awoken essence of his Angelic ancestor into his body. He became the manifested form of an Angel on Earth, a creature that was never truly meant to exist among Humans. As a police officer, it was an impossible transition. To him, the laws were an affront to true justice.
The dirty cops on the force that he had been investigating, gathering information on for internal affairs had caught wind of his deception, and Plymouth no longer able to effectively lie and conceal his motives was exposed. They came after him, with the intent of murder, and Plymouth killed them all, leaving their bodies laying upon crosses painted onto the pavement with their own blood. The Jersey City massacre of February, 2012 would be forever etched into the history books. A year later, Plymouth would leave the force. Captain Silverman, aware of what Plymouth had done used all his power to keep him out of prison. He learned of what had happened to him, seeing with his own eyes, the Angel within him. He advised the young man to go out and see the world, and that's just what he did. Plymouth went to Ireland to visit his ancestral home, then from there, traveled across Europe and into Asia. He was drawn to places by the Resonance, and sought out ancient Enochian sites. The time allowed him to understand what he was, to make sense of his new life, and when he returned to America in 2015, he was drawn to Omensvale.
Plymouth arrived in Omensvale in the summer of 2016. He had been attracted by the GLOAM, and like all preternaturals before him, felt the power of the place surge through his body; a revelation of sorts. His stay was meant to be brief but the ease with which he fell into the rhythm of the small city he is as yet in no rush to move on.
Blackstar Garage, named after it's owner Jackson Blackstar is a small operation located on Main Street near the Omensvale Oracle. The place just so happened to need an auto-body specialist and Plymouth fit the bill. The work was peaceful, the company of the small crew consisting of Jackson, and his daughter, River, more than tolerable. Because it was actually cheaper to buy a home than to rent, Plymouth acquired a modest home in Hollow Grove and the end of Little Lane.
People in Omensvale know Plymouth by his stage name, "Slate Blue". Everyone addresses him by his middle name, and very few people know him by his actual name which suits Slate just fine. He plays in a few pubs in Omensvale, dazzling people with his incredible vocal range and smokey blue's tones. He also performs at Crow Cove, singing traditional Gaelic folk songs for the patrons. He's good enough to live off his music but Slate likes the steady pay-check of honest work and rejects the vanity that comes with performing which he only does out of love for the music. A devout Catholic, he will also sing from time to time, at Saint Mary Church, where he has become good friends with the priest, Father Matthew Gregov.
