Angel
Died at: 21
Dead for: 2640 years
Role: He's taken the life he was supposed to save and now fights to retain morality.
Gender: Male
Crush: None as of yet
Unique ability: A master inventor like his father Daedalus. He can make things from almost nothing and put them to use immediately.
Appearance: Icarus is the "token Greek boy". Lightly tanned skin, dark, partly curly hair and dazzling blue eyes. On the human plane, you wouldn't even notice him in a crowd if it weren't for his eyes, but in the air, his wings are accented with a light blue and his hair seems to grow much lighter. He often wears loose, baggy clothes as a human to make him feel more at ease. They fit much like clothes from his time just a tad bit more constricting than them. He has a large scar down his left cheek that almost perfectly blends with his skin. Almost. He received this from the fatal crash to the sea when he died and his skull split across a rock on that very point.
Icarus, the boy who fell from the sky in legends of old has long since gained a better meaning of "control". Shortly after he died, he realized that each civilization has its own deities, its own heaven, its own spirits. You simply go along with whatever the ruling class tells you at that point. The deities are no more than the collective consciousness of every person who believes in them. While this has made some aspects of death more confusing, it also relaxes him that he can see the deity as his father (sent to hell for trying to kill his nephew) or anyone else he wants to because it's who he believes it is. Icarus has become a much more reserved character, experiencing what a too bold and brash attitude can accomplish first-hand. He does not, however shun everyone because, as a Greek by birth and teachings, he knows the importance of comradeship. He would give his life for his brothers in arms, if that means they have a chance to live another day.
Icarus tends to carry a sword and a rifle with him at all times. He is amazed by the weaponry today but will never forget that his roots lie in brave, toe to toe soldiers.
The story of Icarus is well known by those who know mythology. His father was trapped in his own creation, The Labyrinth, for betraying King Minos and Icarus went with him to care for the poor man in his old age. After many day, Daedalus invented the bronze wings which were to be their means to escape the stone walls. While His father kept a steady course, Icarus became to bold and flew much to high. The wax that held the feathers to their base warmed and melted, the feathers falling off one by one. His wings fell apart and Icarus plummeted toward the sea, landing head first on a stone crag. The sea-nymphs mourned for the brave youth and buried him on a nearby island.
