{Cacelion's human form is the same as above, but without the wings and whatnot}
Alias: Damien Sterling.
Titles: The Fifth Archangel & Lord of The Emerald Plain.
Gender: Male.
Species: Archangel/Angelic Being.
Apparent Age: 20 - 30.
Actual Age: Older than the universe.
Bio: Cacelion was created, along with the other angels and angelic/divine beings, before the universe began by the Architect, or God as he would later be called by the many mortal creatures that would come to inhabit the physical plane, who took small amounts of his divine energy and fashioned each into a living being with a purpose along with a will and the power to fulfill it.
Once that was done, the Architect sent a subatomic amount of his divine essence into the Void to cause the Big Bang and kick start the creation of the universe. He then appointed fourteen of the most powerful and intelligent angels in existence, of whom Cacelion was (and still is) a member, to watch over and guide His new creation.
Cacelion took to his new role with enthusiasm and helped create stability in the newly formed and highly chaotic universe by using his powers to form planets, stabilize solar bodies, and mold different energies into more orderly elements such as those found in the periodic table. Once this was complete Cacelion and the other Archangels created a home for themselves, and the other angelic beings with them, at the very center of the universe to which they bound themselves, knowing that their assigned purpose would be for naught if they were somehow killed and returned to their maker before the appointed time. Once their creation was complete, they convened amongst themselves and named it Caelestis, or Heaven as it is also known in the mortal tongue. Once all of these things were complete, the angels rested within the confines of its gilded walls as the somewhat chaotic universe around them finished stabilizing itself.
Once the universe had finally reached some semblance of order and stability, the Archangels returned and began guiding the evolution cycles of the various races that had begun to emerge on the various worlds of the mortal plane, such as humanity. After several million years of guiding and observing however, Lucifer and six other Archangels began to grow proud and started to believe that all of creation should bend the knee to them rather than their creator who had, in their minds, done nothing but sit back and watch while they toiled endlessly to ensure the survival of his precious creations.
So they rebelled by starting a war in Caelestis. Lucifer and his six allies took the various angels under their command and attempted to take over the divine plane, but were overpowered by the combined might of Cacelion and the other Archangels that stayed loyal to their creators plan before being cast out of Caelestis after having their essence severed from the Stone of Eternity at its center.
Giving in to the darkness, resentment, and hate they felt both towards their divine brethren and the pathetic mortal creatures they were tasked with guiding, Lucifer and those with him became twisted creatures, warped by malice. The lower-ranking angels that had joined him would become known as demons by the people of the ancient world, while Lucifer and his six allies would later become known as Archdemons. These "hellspawn" having been cut off from the harmony of Caelestis and having twisted their divine essence into something foul and unholy, journeyed to the lightless void outside the universe where they then created a domain of everlasting darkness to which they bound themselves called Erebus, or Hell.
Ever since then it's been a never-ending war between these two groups for the future of the mortal plane. One that is waged just beyond the perception of lower beings.
Powers: While his powers are almost limitless due to him being an Archangel, the highest and most powerful rank that a divine being can have, Cacelion doesn't usually use the full extent of his might in the mortal plane, as he does not wish to cause unecessary damage to his maker's work or take life where it does not need to be taken.
As such he only uses the White Arts, otherwise known as White or good magic, and a limited amount of his true divine power to affect the world around him. This strange level of restraint has also aided him in concealing his true nature as a high ranking angelic being during his ventures in the mortal realm where he usually blends in by pretending to be a wizard or a simple street magician.
Weaknesses: A strong enough unholy or dark/demonic attack, usually from an Archdemon that is greater than him in might, can kill him. His extreme self restraint in combat is also an issue as he does not usually use the full extent of his power, even in near death situations, due to his dislike of destruction and unnecessary loss of life.
Fears: He fears that the forces of Hell will prevail and destroy everything the Architect has made.
Cacelion also fears disappointing or angering his creator in some way.
Equipment: Lumeris, an unbreakable sword Cacelion forged from pure cosmic energy, that he can also use as a focus for his immense power. When not in use he simply dismisses it, causing it to vanish in a flash of blue light. While he can summon this at anytime he wishes, Cacelion prefers to rely on his magic and other abilities in most situations, mainly because he's not usually in a scenario where he needs to use Lumeris, but also because not using it helps maintain his guise as a wizard.
Extras: Archangel Physiology will give you a good idea of the FULL extent of his power.
He is skilled at fighting.
His favorite snack is a Rueben sandwich. Even though he doesn't need to eat.
While angelic and demonic beings are immortal, at least where age and the effects of the physical plane are concerned, they can still be slain if enough force or power is used against them. Upon death, during which their physical forms will explode with the force of a supernova due to the sheer amount of divine/demonic power contained within, their essence, regardless of rank or status, will return to the plane it was bound to before slowly reforming into the being it once was.
If the angels and demons hadn't done this, then their essences would be lost to the void upon death before eventually being absorbed back into the Architect himself, causing the them to lose all sense of self awareness or free will and making everything they'd laboured for pointless.
Although they can experience time and space if they wish, angels and demons are not bound or restricted by it as they were formed before its creation and still remain outside of it to this day.
