Weapons: Cerberus: A custom made 12 inch revolver, a dark bulk of black and a name befitting it’s bite. Its structure, unlike ordinary revolvers which possess a single barrel and cylinder, has three cylinders holding a total of eighteen bullets. The bullets utilized for Cerberus are often custom made and modified to fire 40 caliber rounds. Each cylinder has a different variation of the 40 caliber, one fires anti-alchemic rounds, another contains explosive rounds and finally armor piercing rounds. Along the barrel the words ‘Sanity for the foolish’ are etched in crimson ink. A testament to the irony Asylums face.
Metal plated Coffin: A strange item for a strange fellow, Angel is rarely seen without it. It is a large six foot metal coffin that is sealed tight and rather daunting from its appearance. Decorated with silver Gothic carvings over a black palette, this reapers casket represents a work of art that is reserved for those who will call it their final abode. As unorthodox as it maybe, Angel has often exploited the coffins bulk to his favor, weaponizing it when the need arrives. It also contains a compartment housing Daedalus, the compartment extends outwards when Angel requires it.
Daedalus: One of Angel's greatest treasures, his one of a kind combat garb culminated from years of research in science and alchemy. It is a mesh of nano molecular fibers which responds to a specific frequency in molecular vibration, as such only Angel is able to manipulate it using his psychokinesis. When in a dormant state its appearance is a kin to liquid and upon activation changes its structural compound to a more fabric like appearance, achieving symbiosis with Angel. Once latched on to his body the garb takes on an appearance of a gunmetal grey overcoat. Angel is shown to only don this garb when in combat and utilizes it both defensively and offensively. Daedalus acts as body armor reducing the impact of projectiles as well as a weapon which can change its structure according to it's wearer's will. In it's dormant state Angel stores Daedalus is a compartment within his coffin.
Appearance:Angel stands at a towering height of six feet five inches and while not excessively muscular, he possesses a lean and well defined body. However due to his lanky appearance his foes often have the unfortunate habit of underestimating him. Angel has a fair complexion and coupled with his mysterious persona, it tends to gives him an attractive albeit devilish charm. His long hair is usually left uncombed and he always appears to have a light stubble, his untidy style a reflection of his laid back attitude. The roman numerical “XIII” is tattooed and spread across his entire left arm. As far as apparel goes Angel is rather infamous in his wears, a trademark look consisting of a pair of glasses, spectacles tinted in heavy silver that shimmer in the dimmest of lighting. His second most noticeable feature would be the crescent scar spread over his right eye.
He is mostly seen wearing a crimson vest with rubies as buttons and a black pentagram crafted onto its back. Angel has always been particular in the quality of his clothing as such only the highest quality fabrics are used to tailor his wear. Underneath his meticulous vest he usually wears stripped shirts, while the colors vary his favorite is a black shirt with thin red stripes. It is worth to note despite his refined taste in clothing; Angel has a dislike of ties and business coats, albeit will wear them if the situation calls. His choice of trousers are usually matched with his shirt, usually black or grey, fastened by a silver buckled leather belt. Finally for footwear Angel has a variety of custom made dress shoes and rarely wears the same one twice, mainly due to the fact that they are ruined due to the nature of his work. As far as accessories are concerned, the Silver Reaper is usually seen wearing a silver watch and a gold ring that adorns his index finger. It is only in combat that Angel dons his signature gunmetal grey overcoat, the quality almost as ostentatious as his vest, which is always kept unbuttoned.
The Lost Number is always seen maintaining a faint smile on his face, the expression of a gentle and weary soul but then again at a distance anything may appear deceiving. Once his glasses shimmer in an eerie silver and his smile warps into a fiendish smirk, only then is his true nature revealed and the only thing that would dare glance back, would be torment personified. Yet regardless of situation and regardless of which mask he chooses to charade in; it almost always reflects his careless, carefree and lazy attitude which again tends to mislead his foes.
Personality: In comparison to his somewhat intimidating appearance, Angel’s personality is quite strange. If stereotyped one would imagine him as the silent, deranged, cold and threatening fellow but his personality is not as simple or restrictive. Angel’s personality is often contradictory to the situation and at times he may act in ways that puts his intimidating reputation to shame. Amusing examples include being extremely careless in certain aspects, being forgetful, lazy, socially daft etc. He also has a tendency to ignore norms and deviate from what is considered normal.
However it would be important to note while Angel's personality may appear cheerful, light hearted and clownish it is usually never directed at anyone other than his partner; the only person he genuinely shows a sense of care, his adopted sister. When it comes to directly dealing with others, he may maintains his lazy persona but that comes along with a tinge of superiority and cold arrogance coupled with sarcasm and indifference. Though when it comes to Reri they are as normal as normal gets, bickering and squabbling which ends up destroying the stereotypical attitude that people assume of the dangerous Ante Mortem. Another characteristic of XIII is his uncanny ability to maintain a lazy sense of calm even when death may seem eminent, the only time he openly shows his fury is when his partner his hurt or put in harm’s way.
In reality, Angel is but a collection of well formulated facades and he is not afraid to shed them when the situation calls it. At certain moments he may seem cheerful and careless but under certain situations another side of him awakens. He can be a sociopath with an attitude of indifference towards all around him with the exception of his partner. His calculative mind is always result oriented and as such his greatest trait is his uncanny knowledge in the dark arts and his ability to manipulate and deceive. In fact it is due to this very reason they are called “Ante Mortem” for to have any connections with them would be the last thing a person does before their untimely demise.
