Age:
Time does not exist within the heavenly realms, but Aaric has a youthful face and disposition. Her physique, on the other hand, could be anywhere from her late teens to mid-twenties. But Aaric's human body appears to be nine.
Gender:
Aaric's true gender is female, but due to an unfortunate mix-up, her human body is tragically male.
Race:
One of the Seraphim, Aaric is a six-winged angel.
Appearance:
Perhaps Aaric's most notable trait (one would have to be blind not to notice), are her luminous blue eyes. They are brimming with the unsaid emotions of the innocent, and anyone who looks upon them feels that if they peer for just a little longer, they might be able to glimpse the gates of heaven.... In fact, they could if the looked long enough. For this reason, any person that falls under the category of 'evil', or 'black hearted' will be unable to meet Aaric's infallible gaze.Â
In both of her forms, the Seraph possesses grey-white hair, pale skin, and a seemingly weak petite body (her azure orbs go without mentioning, of course). However, that's about where the resemblance ends, not counting similar facial structures. Aaric's human form has short, fluffy, grey-blonde hair that falls endearingly into his eyes. His face has a sereneness uncharacteristic for his supposed age, often confusing those he meets. However, he possesses a certain angelic smile, and the power it has for winning the affections of others should not be underestimated.
Now, if Aaric wore the traditional garb of angels, the true appearance of her physique would be shown off (moderately shapely, lean muscles, taller than she looks). But, unfortunately, the angel only dons those clothes on occasion, instead preferring to wear clothes that are more comfortable, even if they make her look much younger, shorter, and skinnier. Aaric generally wears shawls or short capes, with fingerless gloves (for better grip). In her female form, her shawls are lined with fluffy material, and her multi-layered dresses look as if she's dressed for colder weather, and are distinctly European. She wears knee-high leather boots, and tries to add something to her sometimes dull-looking hair. However, due to the many layers, ribbons, and lace, they are extremely difficult to fight in, so Aaric usually wears something easier to move in if she knows a brawl is coming.
Her human form is far is dressed far more simply, with a soft (and warm) blue and white short cape, over a blue leather half-jacket (going down only to the bottom of the ribs) that laces in the middle, has wide sleeves that fall an inch or two past his fingers (to keep them warm). All of this is over a white cotton t-shirt, and grey cold-weather pants connected to the shirt with a pale blue sash the width of his palm.
Personality:
When one first looks at Aaric, the first impression they get is of someone who is very, very afraid. The fear is not directed at anything in particular, and that tends to puzzle some. The angel moves timidly, with a certain sort of frail grace to her cautious movements. Since Aaric's brother died on earth, she is consequently extremely frightened of the foreign planet. Human emotions are overwhelming to a hypersensitive angel, and the mannerisms and cultures are unfamiliar. For example, 'aggressiveness' does not exist in the celestial realms. If someone were to pin her to a wall, Aaric would be like a deer in the headlights, for the standard for all the males she has been around was 'gentlemanly'. Some of the angel's fears a more comical; there are no bugs in heaven. But despite her rampant fear and shyness, Aaric confronts her inhibitions as often as she can, her powerful curiosity giving her the drive she needs to do so.
For all this, Aaric is a passive girl, having a policy to not make a big deal out of things for the sake of keeping peace. She is very low maintenance, and prefers to take care of herself, instead of being coddled. Though Aaric may not look it, she is as sharp as a tack, and is very clever and excellent at reading people. It's as difficult to earn real trust (Aaric trusts all living beings to an extent) as it is to shake it once it's been made.
Though angels are as free with their emotions as the next race, they are notorious for their stinginess towards forging relationships with others. Now, Aaric loves making friends, but she is surprisingly guarded when it comes to letting people into her inner circle.
To sum it up, Aaric is an agreeable person, who is likable, but can be boring thanks to her passiveness (though her reactions to things have the potential to be amusing).
Now for the next part of Aaric's personality, where everything here is literally unbreakable. For all of her plainness, she has a remarkably strong set of morales and values. But those pale in comparison to the amount of importance Aaric places on her 'purpose'; her reason for living, the thing that will take her beyond her personal limits into the deeper sort of strength that comes from existing for something greater than oneself. You see, Aaric was born to protect people, specifically from evil spirits. That was the reason she was created, and it was with that knowledge in mind she was raised. Her passive nature goes up in flames when either her values or purpose is invoked, and a whole new side of Aaric (her true self) is revealed. You can easily tell why she's called 'the lion of heaven', with her  controlled ferocity, and unstoppable determination.
Abilities:
First of all, her clear sighted gaze is Aaric's only ability to be passed on to her human form. When Aaric transforms, it's in burning flash of light, effectively blinding foes momentarily. In fact, if any onlookers are particularly evil, they may have all of their senses snuffed out for a few seconds.
Now, as an insubstantial being, objects belonging to the mortal world will faze through the angel (which is actually the main reason Aaric needed a human form in the first place), so only supernatural methods of attack will be effective (so basically any character in this game can attack her).
Remember the power that leaked from her true form? That's called life essence, and it's the angelic equivalent of mana to a spell caster. Life essence is required for everything, from blinking to flying to swinging a weapon. As an angel created to protect against 'evil spirits', any creature that falls under that category will be severely burned if they come in contact with Aaric's holy energy. Aaric's angelic body is constantly creating a steady amount of this energy, and unless she is engaging in some sort of strenuous activity, its almost certain there's gonna be some surplus. When there is surplus, that's when evil spirits don't want to touch her. The energy is also good for absorbing, then being used to heal wounds or to supercharge an attack.
However useful, this 'life energy' moves slowly, often forming a comet-like tail behind Aaric as she moves around. So if she is moving around, she is not surrounded by her protective aura, and that's where evil spirits have the opportunity to land hits. All in all, it's a rather simple, yet effective system.
But despite all of Aaric's power in her true form, she has one extremely crippling weakness. As 'the protector', Aaric cannot access her celestial powers unless someone other than her needs to be protected. In other words, if Aaric was attacked, and she was all alone in her human form, he would have about as much defense against a foe as your average nine year old boy.
Weapons & Armor:
Aaric has no official armor, relying instead on her protective aura to protect her. However, she most certainly has weapons. Starting with her natural ones, Aaric's rather sharp canines have fairly good biting power, and bites may be fatal to the weakest 'evil spirits'. Her 'claws' have around the same level of offensive power. Â Now, remember Aaric's scary wings? Well, one would be a fool to touch them. Like her protective aura, they will burn evil beings, though the wings will give wounds that are more difficult to heal from, and continue raining pain even if the wound has been patched up. So yeah, just don't touch the wings.
Aaric's 'official' weapon is a scythe, made of an extremely strong silver alloy. Now, this is an instrument of precision, sharpened to a deadly edge. The blade siphons off of Aaric's life energy, so it too possesses an aura like her own. So even if one dodges the razor edge, one would still have to be wary of the fiery streak following after.Â
History:
Aaric was created into a family whose purpose was to protect against evil spirits, and she was born to follow in her ancestral footsteps. She had normal parents and an older brother, whom Aaric adored. Aaric had a rather uneventful childhood, except for maybe the fact that she was one of the few female angels, and Aaric knew only one other girl her age. But when Aaric was just starting to grow in her adult, permanent wings, disaster struck. Her brother, who had been away protecting the mortal world, had died in combat, his foe claiming his life energy. There was a widely spread rumor saying that angels were beginning to be hunted down, pursued for their vast spiritual stores of energy. Immediately, the angels on earth were commanded to return to heaven. And so it stayed that way, the holy host disconnected from the advances of humanity, until one day a threat on the mortal plane was perceived. A powerful force was stirring, one with an unknown potential for evil. So the celestial beings turned to the one who was in charge of investigating such events; Aaric. Of course, she had been training all of her existence for that purpose, but nobody had really thought she would be required to take her brother's job so soon. But you know, a human had not been created to host a holy being in the longest time, so there were bound to be some mistakes....
