Personality: Abel is a snarky, rude, blunt man that doesn't have any quarrels with saying what's on his mind. Vulgarity is second nature to him and he seems to have a track record of making enemies with almost everyone he meets. He is stubborn and has a large amount of pride though he is very insecure about his height, which is often made fun of frequently. Patience is not one of his skills and he hates it when people come to him and waste his time.
Abel despises his family and doesn't want to be affiliated with them in anyway. He is ashamed of being the son of scammers and for being milked for money by them. He wants to make something of himself, which is why he joined The Beureau and volunteered for Project Nephilim.
Backstory: The son of a pair of con artists, Abel had always sat on the sidelines as he watched his parents swindle people out of their money. They were fake psychics residing in New Orleans that had conned many folks who had lost a loved one or had some issues regarding spirits. His parents were clever, very clever; they marketed themselves to a desperate demographic that they carefully researched. Abel, however, was the real deal; he could see the dead and communicate with them. How exactly did his parents know? When he was only eight years old, his parents had discovered that he was talking to his grandmother who had passed away years before he was born.
Needless to say, his parents made use of his abilities and it made them famous within New Orleans among the other fakers taking advantage of the boom of spiritually aware people in recent years. At first it filled him with pride that he was the bread winner of his family, but that faded away as he reached to a harsh realization; his parents didn't love him. They were just using him to make money and spend most of the money he was earning on themselves. That was then he started rebelling against his parents, which then continued on as he got older and as his powers developed even further.
Fast forward to when he is a junior in college studying for his undergraduate degree in medicine, yet feeling aimless and unfulfilled with where his life was going. Was this how was he going to live the rest of his life? Work for a broken medical system that is going to systematically screw him over for years? That was until he encountered a recruiter from The Buereau. Of course, he didn't care for this man suggesting to do a job that was going to kill him and told him he wasn't interested.
Later on that night, he had his first encounter with a hollow on his way back from classes. It attacked him and the other pedestrians going on their own business. With no other options, he sprung into action and fought the hollow to the death. For the first time in his life, he felt a certain thrill that made his blood rush through his veins. Despite the fact he was a High Spec Human, he didn't have enough fighting experience or experience in using his powers in combat to defeat the Hollow. Abel was on the verge of being devoured by the monster until it was decapitaed by a sudden attack; the recruiter had killed the Hollow with complete ease and commended Abel for his efforts to kill it. Again the recruitered asked him to join and this time, Abel said yes.
Two months later the higher ups had announced that they were going to accept volunteers for the Seraphim Project. Seeing this as an opportunity to leave a mark on the world, he volunteered.
