That's still something I'm working on as angels (even the lowest) are incredibly powerful, so there's a lot to think of in terms of power. I'd say Shapeshifting definitely (to blend in mainly) but the rest?

I have no idea.

And then there's the fact that angels (both in my headcannon and the Bible) can't be killed by anything but God...I guess I could do an Absolute Immortality type thing where he comes back after a certain amount of time or something.


A lot of beings outside of their own individual universes are immortal in MR. Usually the way we do it is by defining immortality as really, really, really hard to kill but not absolutely impossible and usually requiring some amount of annihilation. It typically comes with perks such as accelerated healing and the ability to survive most fatal situations (e.g. being torn in half). If you want to do something that goes beyond that, we can definitely discuss how we can fit something like that into the primary physics system.

Maybe I could make him immune to just Annihilation, seeing as how God has the final say over the existence of a being He created, but allow him to be killed.

Sorry, let me clarify that; I think I worded it strangely. When I say "annihilation," I mean more in the sense of being hit with so much sheer force that there's no material left that can recover; I didn't mean to imply that someone is just going to erase them.

There's a system for intangible beings that we could apply if you want to go that route. For example, if the physical aspect of him is destroyed, he could go into an intangible ghostlike form until he can get enough energy to restore the physical aspect. So that way, it's not technically "100% unkillable," but it's a lot harder. Of course, you don't have to do that if you don't want to—there's a lot of room to maneuver.

I could have him enter a sort of Limbo if his physical form is destroyed. Then he could rebuild it, but it would take a while. His spirit however...I might keep it immortal. Then again, maybe God takes that away before he goes as part of the test.

Alright I'll allow his spirit (him) to be permenantly destroyed while he's out of his own verse. When it comes to bodily destruction he'll enter a plane of Limbo, which looks like a place he's comfortable in, where he can repair/rebuild his body.

That's usually how we do it. If you like the idea of having some form of truly immortal spirit, we don't really ever address the concept, so it's not a problem unless he's coming back to life from that kind of a state. In that case, we'd have to figure out how it works within the physics engine. But if it's the "once he dies, he's an immortal spirit that's permanently gone from the physical world" (like what a lot of people consider the spirit to be in our world), I don't foresee a way that it could conflict with anything established.

It'll add a real sense of risk for the character.

Now I just need s pic for him (harder to find one than you think), some powers (I'll use the Superpower Wiki for that), and then a name (FantasyNameGenerator will be useful in that regard).

Then I'll be all set, after reading through the rules of course.

Sounds fantastic. Given that you haven't read the rules yet, are you fine with the short, first-person posting style? It's atypical for this site, but it works extremely well for us.

It shouldn't take me too long to get the hang of.

It's like this right?

"Who am I? Well..." *grins* "I'm an angelic badass who was given a second chance at redemption and the one who is currently going to save you all." *turns to face the incoming threat and draws his sword from its sheath* "You can thank me later."

Yep, that works; you don't need the quotes though, since everything is assumed to be speech. It's easier to read if the words and actions are on different lines, but that's not a deal-breaker or anything.

*Grips the lever on the wall, gasping for air*
I... refuse... to die here!

Ok. Now I just have to find a pic for his appearance(I know it isn't necessary but still want one. Especially since he has a normal human form along with his fallen angelic one).

I'm glad you are; it always helps to have a good profile pic to attach the person to. I also understand that they can take hours to find at times.

Would powers taken from this powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Fallen_An… physiology be too powerful?

In a sense, using the concept of elemental darkness as a weapon and for power boosts?

Yeah, mainly darkness as a weapon and for boosts. He'll also have an ability called Divine Healing, the only real gift granted to him by God, which allows him to access and use a small amount of divine/holy power to heal or even revive other's. It will be extremely weak as a skill though, because he hasn't used divine power in a long time.

Yeah, that would work great. If he's being offered a chance at repentance, how does that mesh with getting boosts from evil?

He only gets his original glory and power back after the test. Until then he has to make do with what he has. That and I figured that it would be interesting to have him struggle against his fallen nature by choosing to use his abilities to help people, rather than kill them.

Interesting. I think that works well enough; could you give an example of an attack?

I'll do my best (as the wiki is there to catalogue powers from different fictions).

You're the first mortal to challenge a being like myself. Don't blame me if it results in your death.

What would the orb do, practically speaking?
