Name: Gustave von Heinrich
Race: Dark elf/Celestian(angel) hybrid.
Age: 99(for now, but looks 26, and is liable to look that way for a long time.)
Likes: Nice weapons, steaks, funny/nice people, a friendly sparring match, sweets, Germany, and good booze.
Dislikes: Rude people, cocky/egotistic people, bitter food, weak liquor, fighting to kill, succubi, gargoyles, France
Appearance (If someone decides to whip up a cool artwork of my avi with a few modifications, it'd work as his picture, but alas, I have none. Cie la Vie):
Blue-skinned with pointed ears, as any dark elf would appear. He is also heavily muscled(built like a tank, heavy), and 6 '9'. His hair is blue as well, a few shades darker than his skin. It is about six inches in length and falls in lazy points about his head. He tends to dress quite well, simply enjoying the way he looks in button up shirts and khakis/slacks. There is an exception to his nice wardrobe, as he normally wears sunglasses to work. There are also magic charms clipped to each of his belt loops in case he needs to fight. Generally, this is all to his looks, for he keeps his angelic properties retracted when not needed. He does not fear showing them though, and will do so to access his angelic powers. Once he does, intricate tattoos on his back recede to two single points on his back and disappear as large, feathered, electric blue wings sprout from his back. At the same time, a seemingly benign blue halo encircles itself over the space directly over Gustave's head. The span of his wings comes to about eight feet, tip to tip. Occasionally, he is seen with a very tiny kitten riding either atop his head, shoulder, or in his breast pocket. This cat's name is Schnitzel and will get it's own profile.
Personality:
Gustave has grown very warmhearted as of late. (Should I use him in a thread and decide to make it before he changed,) He used to be very cold, aggressive, and deliberate. He is an informally retired assassin, having taken leave of the S.O.S., the Society of Shadows, a major assassins guild held far offshore to the east of Gaia's mainland. That occupation, as well as his past made him hard, and numb to the sensitivities of mercilessly ending the lives of others. Now however, he is a warmhearted, compassionate fellow. Like a big teddy bear, without all of the hair. He is well-mannered, and will avoid getting to blunt, harsh, or rude comments if he can help it. Even now though, he is not someone you wish to make angry. Even with his newly softened heart, he is a scary man when angry. Like 'lift-you-into-the-air-by-your-arms-on-either-side-and-threaten-to-tear-you-in-half' kind of scary. Many corpses have been left in the roads he's traveled, and many more will follow in the paths that lie ahead.
Quirks/derpiness isms:
Gustave, hailing from Eastern Gaia, has a very discernible accent equivalent to that of our German. It is this and can be a tad hard to understand at times. This causes him embarrassment when he tries to pronounce names that start with, or just gernerally contain the following letter sounds: "W", "Sh", "V", or "Th". {Don't worry, I generally keep a permanent OOC spoiler on his posts with a key.
Bio:
Gustave was adopted as an infant, seemingly abandoned by his parents, or perhaps orphaned, he never knew. His adoptive parents agreed to tell him upon his eighteenth birthday. However, prior to it, his small hometown, in which he was raised and was all he knew, of Millenwald, was attacked in a calculated fashion. He heard there were other attacks, but never confirmed it. All he knows is that the attack force was comprised mostly of gargoyles, and thus has a natural distrust of gargoyles and distaste for the Gaian equivalent of the French accent. The only reason he survived that day was with the help of a young man, Kuroshi, the assassin who took him under his wing and trained him in the S.O.S. Kuroshi went out on a job and never returned however. Gustave stayed in the S.O.S. for several years, collecting pieces of powerful, magical weaponry and stockpiling money. Gustave ended his employment upon taking a contract and finding his targets. He was given no prior intelligence on this particular, and something clicked in his mind when he saw his targets were a young woman with a very young girl in her arms, both terrified. They asked if he was hired to kill them. His reply was as follows; "Yez, Howefer, I vill not." Gustave pulled a small leather pouch from his pocket and handed it to the woman. "Take zis und leafe. I am not happy zat I vaz told to kill two young vomen vithout a cauze...ezpezially zeeingk az you hafe anothser on ze vay." The woman opened the pouch, finding many gold coins, worth millions of the nations currency. The woman teared up and thanked him, only to receive a huff in reply before he left. Gustave then killed the only assassin he really disliked, thus claiming the man's position as sixth most prominent assassin in the world. He left a note on the man's corpse, denoting his resignation, then left for Gaia Proper. He lives there now, and through work, met people who allowed him to open up a little. He grew to like these people, and think of them as his new family in this new life. Later afterwards, an event triggers the first sprouting of his wings, and he learns that he's half angel. He had just thought he was full-blooded dark elf, but it turns out he was wrong. That brings us to current day.
(Subject to change without warning.)
Sexuality: Heterosexual, and terribly inexperienced at it.
Abilities:
Gustave is an proficient with hand-hand combat, but he's a deadly expert with most any weapon in hand, especially on of his personal enchanted weapons. (If you all really want to know, I'll reveal each of his weapons and their abilities.) Aside from this, his only utilizable ability is a powerful healing ability he can apply upon donning his wings and halo. The drawbacks of this skill are that 1: He can't use it on himself. It only works to heal the wounds of others. And 2: Healing quickly uses his stamina. As he's practiced, it has gotten much easier though, and can heal several people with only slight fatigue. Being a dark elf AND an angel, Gustave should have a potent compatibility with magic, but he just doesn't know how to use any of it, or if he even can.
Leon is a confident and kind individual. He offers a helping hand immediately to those who may need it whenever possible. However, at times, this causes him to overwork himself. He tends to be stubborn when told to stop something or stay put, for he hates staying still. He is also quick to try and console or reassure those doubting themselves. When all is well, he can get sarcastic and become a bit of a smart-alack. This also happens if he's overly exhausted and/or irritated, except it tends to be more aggressive and less funny. Also, despite him looking and normally behaving like quite the gentle angel, he lives for a good fight. And the ladies, he loves the ladies and good fights, but not good fights with ladies, those conflict him.
Likes: A good fight, training, power, women, honesty, justice, pasta
(Pre-crusade)Appearance: (see left image) Leon's wings are a bright blue at the time before his banishment. This armor was his typical battle attire in The Holy Celestial Guard.
(Pre-crusade)Bio:
Leon was born into the powerful Cervalis family in Celstia, holy land of the angels that overlooks the beings below. He trained with his family through his childhood until his parents "left for an important trip" never to return. This left him alone with his younger sister, Helena, for several years while he continued on with school. However, her sister had disappeared one day, kidnapped. It is never known whether or nor not Leon ever found his sister, or if he did, if she was alive. Leon finished his school with another very powerful angel on his arm, Arianna. Arianna belonged to a noble family of Archangels and thus, was immensely powerful. They had planned on movng in together, but Leon suggested they wait, and he would join the military. Upon serving his minimum of three years, he would return with a government-provided home for them both. However, within the first year, a draft was called for a crusade, and Leon was called for extended service. He had tried to write to his girlfriend about it, but the letter was never allowed to leave the confines of the military system. Leon, although upset and suspicious of the situation, served dutifully, killing demons who were threatened a supernatural human realm. twent years into the crusade, Leon was made the combat instructor of The Holy Celestial Guard, the utmost prestigious military segment Celestia has to offer, aside from the one Arianna had apparently made it into. The Arachangel Corps is a special segment of the Celestial Defenses reserved specifically for special angels with brilliant, pure white wings and massive power, Archangels, like Arianna. Archangels, however, never leave Celestia unless it's dire, for they are some of the most powerful beings in existence. But I digress. Forty years into the crusade, Leon was promoted to High-Guardna Of Celestia, Captain of the Holy Celestial Guard, and Second-in-command of Celestia's collective armed forces. After the next decade, the crusade had completed their warring stage and reached an occupation stage. Leon spent the next 150 years tying up loose ends, leading assaults in full against the demons in their home world. After all uprisings were terminated, Leon returned to the human world to finish the occupation. During this time, he met a woman, Francine Valengold, from a matriarchal society, and fell in love. They were married after a few years, though Leon quickly proposed shortly into their relationship. "Human love is like a delicate flower. It takes time and love for it to truly bloom, Darling." Must have been the lecture Francine gave to him over and over again. Just their relationship, a stray demon had gotten to the camp and attacked Leon as he was meeting Francine. He whisked her into the air quickly and dispatched the demon from afar with magic. However, Francine was cross with being grabbed by a strange man suddenly. "You can't just grab a woman without a word! Never do that again unless I give you permission! Or any woman for that matter! You can't just grab women, even if it's for safety, who knows what other problems what you'll cause!" A scolding that will forever be burned in Leon's mind, leading him to vow never to touch a woman without first receiving permission. Messy first impression or no though, they were married and to honor Francine's societal upbringing, took her last name. They had a child, a little girl whom they named Annabelle Maria Valengold. They lived happily together for six years before a rift opened in the ground near camp, just outside of the home Leon and his family had been sharing. The majority of the occupational force was decimated by the invasion, leaving Leon, his wife, and daughter backed into a corner. Leon used a forbidden item to grant him godlike power at the cost of control over his soul as long as the book remained open. He wiped out the demons singlehandedly, as well as the nearby village of "unrepentant sinners" that Francine came from. then turned to his family. He took his daughter, little Annabelle by the throat and squeezed. As he choked his daughter to death, he spoke in a voice that wasn't his own, about how the child was born with original sin and made no attempt to repent, and thus, must be punished. All the little girl could manage was, "Daddy...you're...sc...aring me...I can't...I can't ...breathe... Daddy ...why...?" before the girl went limp and her soul departed her body. His wife grabbed his arm, screaming. "Why?! Leon! That was our baby?! Why?! How could you?! Our baby...! Anna, no!! Annabe-" Francine was caught off as a spear of light pierced her chest. It wasn't until then, looking into the lifeless eyes of his little girl, and her dying mother that Leon came to. The power vanished and Leon closed the book himself. Leon would've killed himself if Francine didn't convince him to repent through a life of good deeds. She told him she'd accompany him if she could, and that decided it. Leon illegally bound her soul to his just before she died and raced back to Celestia's Sacred forge. He then crafted a holy weapon and bound her soul into it. Having a soul in your weapon gives it it's own consciousness and gives you a large boost in power. It also makes you a heinous, sacrilegious monster in the eyes of the Celestial Council. Leon had to escape, or die trying. He managed to fight his way out of the White City, Celestia's capital and was then banished from Celestia forever. He then tainted his wings partially, one feather for each innocent life he took, and enough until the pain of tainting himself caused him to pass out for his daughter and wife.
(Pre-crusade)Weapons of choice/abilities:
Leon's weapon of choice before his promotion was either his single blessed katana, The Lightbringer(which he left at the grave of his wife), Francine or his dual blades, heaven's tears(which lay at Annabelle's grave). After his promotion, he was allowed access to the sacred forge and crafted himself a personal weapon during a two-day leave of absence from the occupation. He crafted a multiform weapon which he named The Purger. In it's crafting, he sealed one quarter of his power, which would be granted back to him when he weilds it, or it it's ever broken. He gave this weapon to his predecessor before entering the forge his second and final time. Leon's skill set is pretty extensive, thanks to the life he's had. He is a very talented martial artist and formidable with many weapons. His proficiency however, lies in his hands and feet, or with a blade in hand. He can also use a wide variety of magic spells that are applicable to most situations(provided he can remember the incantation and get it out in time.) He can also sling elemental magic quickly, but it's...just pitiful without an incantation. He's also no stranger to using arcane magic tomes.
(Post-crusade)Name: Leon Cervalis-Valengold
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Fallen Angel
Age: 812 Human years (Looks about 29)
Likes: The arts, love, trust, pasta, doing what's right, a good fight, conquering evil, being with a group of people he cares about

(Post-crusade)Appearance: (See right) Leon's hair is still silver, but it's longer. And he now has one wing, and one black wing. He also is rarely seen without his butterfly sword, which contains the soul of his late wife, kept active in the weapon.
(Post-crusade)Bio(Subject to change as my story on him progresses):
Leon went through quite the trial just after he escaped from Celestia. He began his life accepting prayers of those who need guidance or assistance. He began to answer these prayers(the people who pray are called Prayers{One who has prayed}) and helped them through pain and strife with the soul of his wife at his side. He spent a couple hundred years doing this before he was taken in his sleep to an artificial world where he was to compete in a death game. Last one alive wins. Shortly after his arrival, he accepted a Prayer, a young woman by the name of Bonbori Miyazaki. However, the game took her from him just a moment after she asked him to go help another person. Just prior to her death, Leon met a fallen angel by the name of Shadoe Noir, who had just crash landed into the game with only one wing upon her back. However, upon hearing her story, Leon prayed that she be able to regain her grace, and she did. Not much later, moments before Bonbori's murder, a white wing appeared opposite of her black one. Upon Bonbori's death, Leon experienced her last moments, when she was gutted alive by a demon. The demon however, had framed another human with a psychic trick. Leon's grief and pain were gradually relieved thank to Shadoe. Leon continued on with her to the other Prayer he was asked to help by Bonbori, Shadoe accompanying him. During this time, and through the course of helping the Prayer, Hotaru, he and Shadoe fell in love. There was much fighting and near death experiences. One fight cost Leon one of his wings, leaving him with one mostly tainted wing. Shadoe and Leon were separated at one point while Leon was locked in a difficult fight with the corrupted human who was framed for Bonbori's death. Leon's rage caused more of his feathers to taint before light was shone on the situation, revealing that Leon's anger was misplaced. He stopped fighting to destroy the girl who was corrupted and possessed by dark energies, and began fighting to save her. He did finally manage to purify the girl, Mia, and carried her to where Shadoe had escaped to to avoid being killed by Bonbori's murderer. Upon arriving, he vowed to stay by Shadoe's side always and protect her for as long as he lived, for he loved her. Shadoe's guardian spirit, a cat named Miko decided to stick his nose in the situation and gave Leon a ring, saying that sounded like a proposal. So Leon proposed to Shadoe, and she said yes. They are to plan their wedding once escaping the death game. Shortly afterwards, Leon, with the help of his newly ordained blood brother, Eyerion, a dragon-demon halfling, revived the recently murdered Hotaru. Eyerion assisted and the resurrection was attempted because Eyerion was in love with her. The resurrection was less than adequate however, for Hotaru had one arm missing, and no memory of the game at all, nor the people involved. That aside, her soul was also decaying. The girl was dying slowly from the inside. After much toil and hardship, as well as making both new friends, and enemies, Leon takes a place in a newly built headquarters with Shadoe at his side. This is where things get complex, for the game master was tired of everyone not killing each other, so he begins to place the contestants in single combat matches and forces them to fight. Leon was placed in the first match against the previous game's champion, Fae Snowbell, a "human" with peculiar powers and abnormally high strength for a young human girl. Both hers, and Leon's weapons and abilities were prohibited for the match however. Leon's goal was to knock Fae out to end the match, but it didn't work out that way. He accidentally ended up breaking her neck, killing her. He tainted a feather for her, regretting killing such a young woman when he could've spared her had he done better. time passed and Leon recognizes a disturbingly familiar energy, his sisters. He rushes to Helena, who has been stuck in The Lost Realm playing the game for many cycles, hundreds of years. She didn't recognize him, but comes to accept the truth of their blood. There's an issue though, she was fully tainted by a third party. This level of tainting only occurs for one reason: The angel made a deal with the devil. Or rather, devils wince they split into two separate entities. Lucifer, who has fallen in love with her, and was confronted by Leon in this matter. They interrupted by the other: Satan, who later, kidnapped Helena. Helena is sworn to serve them both, as they were one and the same when Helena sold herself for protection at her young age when she was kidnapped. Leon agreed to work with Lucifer to retrieve his sister from the other demon. Leon's task was to dispose of the 'dark brotherhood' who pose a threat to both Helena and Lucifer. Leon had the aid of one of Lucifer's vassals, but she proved to be pretty useless.

Name: Schnitzel Heinrich
Gender: Male
Sexuality(I guess?): Straight
Race: Caide Sithe. A feline demi-god of the east who, having last the followers of his shrine, began a nomadic journey to take in the wonders the mortal world has to offer.
Age: Unknown
Personality:
Schnitzel has a pack mentality and enjoys spending time with others, being animal, humanoid, or anything in between. He's a protective little kitty and will stand between others and malicious energies he senses, even before changing size. He is very rarely upset or angry. He is quick to trust and quite forgiving. But above all else(mostly), he is obedient completely to Gustave. Without much arguement, Schnitzel would attack anyone Gustave told him to, save a few people he's grown especially fond of. Schnitzel has even memorized a set of commands in both English, and German that are code for Gustave needing Schnitzel to do something quickly. And others are just for Schnitzel to be cute.
Likes: Sweets, fishes, meats, Master, cuddles, and nice people! And cuddles with nice people! Oh, and playing!
Dislikes: Sour stuff, bitter stuff, mean people, and mean energy, and the people that have it, because they're mean and should be punched in the face. When people pull on his tail or grab his paws without permission.
Appearace{Left image is his casual size, right is maximum size.}:
Schnitzel has the appearance of a infinitesimal orange tabby cat. However, when he needs to, he can adjust his size drastically at will to any size in a large range. He is generally seen riding on Gustave von Heinrich, whom he affectionately calls "Master" in a high-pitched, childish voice. If he's not on Gustave or in his pocket, Schnitzel is likely in the vicinity being sociable, waving at passerby with cute "Hewwo!"'s and "Hi!"'s. Schnitzel only recently learned how to word, so he has the vocal patterns of a three year old human boy speaking broken English.
Bio:
Schnitzel was once the deity of a shrine in the far eastern regions of Gaia. He was prayed to for favors, mostly pest control, which he happily obliged to. He accepted fish and other noms as payment. However, as modernization began in the region, between science and magic, he wasn't needed much at all anymore. So he shrunk himself down and decided to explore the world and meet new people. He hopped on a boat and sailed to the mainland. It was the best experience of his life, he didn't even mind when the shipped was besieged by pirates. He just hopped on their ship and road to the mainland that way. He was a kitty pirate for a while and decided, after hitting port, to travel around for a bit wearing a little newspaper pirate hat. He was wandering around in the warehouse district near an intriguingly colorful building when an intriguingly large man knelt beside him. He introduced himself as Gustave and offered him a home. For no reason! This made Schnitzel very happy and he gladly followed Gustave to his home and found a nice random box that he decided he'd make into his bed/kitty pirate ship. He was then given a brand new name just for him, "Schnitzel". This was funny because the next day, Gustave flooded the house by accident and Schnitzel got to sail down the street just like a pirate on the high seas! Gustave turned and chased him after yelling, "Oh schnitzel!". He was caught and picked up out of the box as it drifted into the street and tripped a motorcyclist. The man saved Schnitzel's life, so he was Master now. He didn't know any words at the time though, so he just thought it and never said a thing. That was the first day Master took Schnitzel into the place he worked, and he got to meet all sorts of nice people who would later become his friends. Schnitzel lived day to day alongside Gustave and hung around his work most of the time. Or he was at home with Gustave and whomever he brought home, including his mate. And a baby dragon has recently joined the family. It was like he was a big brother!
Abilities:
Schnitzel's main abilities are the sensing of energy and changing his size at will. His claws and teeth are razor sharp, and uses them as any feline would against foes or prey. He also emits a low level psychokinetic field when he speaks, which belies an aptitude for low-level psychic interaction. Oh, and he can use his crippling cuteness to make your heart melt.
