L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

Anat listens to the Angel as it speaks. It wasn't the conversation that Anat expected, but it was certainly interesting. Especially the word about another of God's Children, and other factions such as this "Technocracy". He'd listen to all the Angel would say, even his talk of the Spheres, which to him were the Sephirot. As time passed and the Angel didn't have much more to say, Anat made his way to the meeting, taking a seat near his parents and looking at Priscilla with knowing eyes.

He'd get his chance to talk to her openly. Now was either the time to wait out this meeting, or wait till she made a move.

This was starting to get too much like a bad movie for his taste...

L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

The Nesim household received the message, and Anat's mother called her son. He didn't live in their household anymore, but things like this Anat would always end up getting dragged along to if he didn't have work or something else planned. 'Oh well,' he'd think, 'It keeps them happy'. Chelsea would avoid the meeting however, as she not only didn't want to go but actually had work when it was set to happen.

And so later that day, Anat dressed up in some of the only casual clothing he had that was appropriate for a church, a plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans, met with his parents at their house. The drive to the church wasn't far, but in Anat's mind it took forever. His usual methods of passing time weren't exactly applicable to a car ride with his parents, so all he had was a phone with which to chat with his usual online group of misfits. Of course however his mother lectured him to put that away when they actually got to the church, but by the time they were there Anat figured he could find some place off to the side.

When the three arrived they were 10 minutes early, and almost immediately split off. Anat's Mother and Father headed off to find the meeting, hoping to find the person who sent the email so they could thank them for the invitation. They would be active participants throughout the night in discussion, barely remembering that their son was off somewhere else within the church till it was time to leave.

Meanwhile, Anat sat off towards the back of the church, having put away his phone and put it on silent mode. With relative seclusion from prying eyes and listening ears, Anat was able to do something he found a lot more interesting than anything on his phone. In a soft, yet firm voice Anat began to speak in a language that only members of the Celestial Choir should know: Enochian. "Angel of this place, by my authority as a Child of God I call you forth." From the alter in the front of the church rose a being, neither man nor woman. Its face and features were like they were carved of marble, yet still seemed soft to the touch. From its back came an pair of eagle's wings, spreading out to its full length at first. It then proceeded to the back of the church, sitting down next to Anat as the two began to speak, mostly of the church's history, but also of The Divine.

It was not a completely obvious display of magic however. Mages would notice something off about the area, but it would take Spirit Sight to see the scene for all it was. Mortals would simply not notice anything.

@Grec well that is a relief. Neat

so what's next?

@Letter Bee .... shitfuck. How do you delete posts? No one must know of this mistake

L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

@Letter Bee She definitely seems like someone Anat should at least meet. Anat knows little of the Ascension War though, and would probably do some good from learning at least something from a Tradition mage.

L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

@Letter Bee I'll look at it now

L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

Name: Anat Nesim

Age: late teens apparent, 23 actual

Species: Mage

Appearance: 5'2, Anat is not an imposing figure. Soft face, lanky limbs and torso with a generally childish look about him. Childish enough to always get carded at bars. Still, he's got a sort of androgynous cuteness about him. Not amazingly so, but enough to draw an eye and influence a thought. Anat dresses in primarily dark colors, jeans or shorts depending on the season. His skin is a light tan, natural but washed out by missing lots of sunlight.

Personality: The defining characteristics of Anat are Defiant and Curious. His defiance manifested mostly in his youth, but he still holds a slightly abrasive personality because of it. He's quick to shirk tradition, question orders and otherwise rebel. He's curious though, always wondering about things, how they really work and why. His curiosity has blossomed into a love of puzzles, both mental in the form of riddles and physical in the form of anything from rubix cubes to the variety of wooden and metal puzzles out there.
Anat's Nature is Architect, as he enjoys seeing how things fit and loves to see a plan come together. His Demeanor is Deviant, loving the way he doesn't seem to fit into normal people's lives.

Biography: Anat was born to a family of moderate Muslims who escaped the violence and instability of Iraq after the Coup of 1968. Their moderate leanings lead towards Anat's drift from the religion of his parents over the years and kept them from responding negatively to their son's antics. As he grew he only got smarter like his parents did, a doctor and a business woman. He did amazing in school, much to the chagrin of his teachers.

At 18, Anat had Awoken. A long spree of staying up way too long and drinking far too much caffeine drove him into a trance-like state. In that state, Anat saw Angels. During this trance he learned to speak to these Angels, and eventually he learned that to an extent he could command them. His Awakening ended when he came to the realization that everything had an Angel governing over it: the grass, the trees, animals, everything. He learned that he was his own Angel, that he was divinity, and learned to command Angels through Words of Power and use of the Sephirot. Later on, in further seekings, he would find out that his divinity stemmed from the Creator God, something reminiscent of the Abrahamic God yet still distinct from it. Obviously this completely shattered his atheism.

Anat at this point in his life has finished schooling and is working for a dead end job he's desperate to ditch. Still, he hasn't mastered Miracles (Magic) enough to sustain himself that way: conjuring and selling gold from nothing isn't an option for him, and he has to eat and sleep, so he makes due. He's always looking for something interesting happening, both mundane and magical. He's had significant glimpses behind the veil of the World of Darkness, but he knows very little of Kindred or Fera or others, save that they exist (probably).

Paradigm, Avatar and other Mage stuff:

Anat's full paradigm is simple: Humanity is a race of creatures born of The Divine. Because of this, Miracles (magic) are everyone's Birthright. While most people never learn of their Divinity in a meaningful way (Awaken), most people still have command over Angels to some extent in the form of The Duty of Angels (The Collective Unconscious): If you take a step, an Angel holds you up from falling into the nothing beneath Existence/Creation. However, by learning of one's Divinity and striving down the path of the Sephirot, one can ignite the Divine Spark within them to the point where they can become As God. What Anat knows of the Paradigm is still little: he knows that he is a Child of God and that it gives him the Authority to command Angels.

The Sephirot, also known as The Tree of Life, is his Arrangement of the Spheres of Magic, as well as a path he follows, even if he does not know he follows it. It is his Avatar, a incomprehensible being which urges him down a path of enlightenment, and it is a strong one, firmly rooted within his mind.

Supporting Characters:
Chelsea Adams - A young (21) woman Anat has been going out with since he was 16. Chelsea is a weirdo in the ways Anat is, at least the mortal ones. These two weirdos definitely deserve each other too. Anat told her everything about his vision, but quickly found that nothing he told her would stay in her memory. It was his first realization that mortal eyes can not see his Miracles.

@Letter Bee I hadn't read her sheet actually. Just got done to post my own

L.A By Night (Classic World of Darkness: Vampires, Werecreatures, Mages, Demons, Hunters and more)

@Letter Bee my character is an Orphan but definitely has some strong Choir leanings. Whether he'd join up with them is all a matter of what they are like to him.

So in short, what is Priscilla like?
