XII.
the angel of death
scroll.

running up that hill
kate bush

VISAGE
NAME: gabriel toussaint.
NICKNAMES: gabe, the angel of death"i'm retired."
D.O.B: "what are birthdays?"
AGE: 39 years old.
HEIGHT: 6'3"
GENDER: cis-male.
ORIENTATION: bisexual.
ROLE: a retired hitman turned single father.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: dark hair, tired eyes, and a scruffy beard he hadn't quite given himself the time to clean up. he gives the appearance of someone who had once glowed with life but had it squashed from whatever hell he had to go through in his youth. there are still remnants of his boyish charm albeit with a mixture of gloom and somber. the sleepless nights he so obviously indulges in bleeds into his eyebags and almost constant state of squinting which bystanders normally mistake for glaring.

there is something cat-like about him with the way he both carries and dresses, opting for comfort with a copious amount of knitwear, sweaters, and cardigans—all in dark shades as if in a homey-esque mourning period constantly. he is a knife in fluffy sheathing. despite the cuddly attire, please don't ask to hug him, he will squirm with discomfort and not knowing what to do with his hands.
FACECLAIM: louis garrel.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: gabriel is a shut-in. he likes his alone time and that alone time is all the time. if given the chance, he would not leave his home and spend the rest of his days cooped up in his study to read in his barricade of books. there was something beautiful about solitude that gabriel found solace in. so don't blame him if he lacks the previous grace he had talking to other people (especially teenagers); the old gabriel is long dead and left the shell of who he once was: an austere man who avoids eye contact and only seems to show color when his mailman arrives with his weekly supply of novels. it wasn't as if gabriel was incapable of acting like a normal person, on the contrary, he was described to be the calmest of men whenever he ran errands. it was just that long periods of exposure seemed to drain him, clearly out of shape in the socializing department.

but on the rare occasions that his social battery is charged and he finds momentum, he bares a silver tongue. he enjoys the opportunity to be snarky and the opening to affectionately roll his eyes and laugh. there are moments when he doesn't quite understand subject matter that should be considered mundane such as birthdays, anniversaries, and something called prom but there is an underlying sense of pride in which he refuses to question them. gabriel is the kind of guy who would push you to ask questions and to tell him when they aren't feeling well meanwhile he withholds everything about himself and later collapses from a burning fever. the traces of self-loathing would stop him from giving him the description of selfless but know that when he cares, he will take a bullet for you. maybe he's more of a dad than he thinks.

traits

VIRTUES: humble, attentive, caring, a secret softie, responsible.
VICES: pessimistic, a bit of a grump, stubborn, secretive, reclusive.

misc.

❥ despite his pollen allergy, gabriel loves gardening and if he's not running errands or sheltered away in the cabin, he's got a big hat, gardening gloves, and a watering can and will be found in his front "lawn" tending to his flowers while he occasionally goes into a sneezing fit.
❥ all of the other archangels had a burning crush on him; (sorry i make the rules and have you seen his fc esp during his younger years??? the other archangels found this man hot) the other archangels had a crush on him at least once in their life. he was seriously their hearthrob.
❥ gabriel genuinely loves reading and had been his past time even during his days in the archangels. he had dreams of becoming a teacher of some sort of a writer.
❥ he smokes recreationally (aka whenever he’s stressed or needs a minute to think) and does not promote it whatsoever, it’s just a bad habit yet to die.
❥ having two girls on the team and being both their designated leader, gabriel knows how to braid hair and definitely braids amy's hair before they train.
❥ if you go into his bedroom (though that is basically a death wish) you will find a framed photo of him and the other archangels when they were teenagers on his nightstand. he doesn't show it, but it is clear that a part of himself misses them beyond belief.
❥ it's a guilty pleasure that he doesn't think he deserves but he fucking LOVES cats and he really wants to own one but he doesn't think that he would be able to properly take of it and fears that he could somehow find a way to hurt it. (fun fact: eddie the mailman owns a cat)
❥ him and jophiel (his ex) used to slow dance at ungodly hours of the day on the roof-top of their facility just because she knew how much gabriel loved it. he loves dancing and he always thought waltzing underneath the stars were romantic.

TIME MACHINE [tw: implied torture & drugging]
HISTORY: gabriel wasn't always gabriel but the boy he once was is but a shadowy haze he could not remember. the tidbits of information he had were simple feelings and teases of the senses he grips onto for dear life. he longs to fully remember the streets of paris or the joke he had told kid jophiel that had made her laugh so hard. everything up until his "rebirthing" process is blurry and almost a phantom that gabriel both wanted to see in its full form but couldn't. he remembered his rebirth though—every second of it.

all of the archangels were "recruited" when they were children and he was the runt of his peers—falling short in both mental and physical capabilities. if he had been taken in by any other person wishing to create an army of seven, gabriel most likely would've been disposed of and replaced. however "yahweh" was a merciful man; seeing gabriel not as a failure but as a piece of clay ready to be molded perfectly in his image. he just needed to be reborn. so reborn he was, for what felt like months gabriel was put through the punishments of the inferno and the cleansing of purgatory all for the promise of paradise. to this day, he wakes up from night terrors and feels the ache of needles and electric shocks, he does not bathe in cold water at all, and the sound of thunder keeps him up at night.

despite it all, a part of him still feels... thankful? or at least fine with the series of events that lead him to where he was now. (WIP)

'THE CHOSEN ONE'

kate bush

VISAGE
NAME: amelia lynn.
NICKNAMES: amy, "the chosen one..i guess"
D.O.B: april 10th.
AGE: 16 years old.
HEIGHT: 54"
GENDER: cis-female. she/her.
ORIENTATION: she doesn't care right now.
ROLE: "only child freak to magic freak-"

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: Her mousy brown, horribly cared for hair lies in a dry mess around her shoulders, framing what otherwise would be an ordinarily awkward and pale teen face save for piercing blue doe eyes. She’s usually hunched over in an uncouncious effort to make herself less noticeable after years of public school bullying, but when she’s standing at her full 5’4” potential, she radiates positive naivety.

Her go-to clothes are anything comfortable; oversized t-shirts, sweats, leggings, the beat up pair of converse she’s had for too long, fur from the strays on the street she will stop at nothing to pet- you name it.
FACECLAIM: natalia dyer.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY:
Amy’s your average sixteen year old going through that awkward teen stage; she doesn’t know who she is...she’s just existing. She does, however, completely believe that she’s a bonafide idiot - she’s seen people make ‘that face’ and use ‘that voice’ on her too many times in her day-to-day life to think anything else - and by all accounts, Amelia Marie Lynn is not a scholar. She is not book smart {her reading comprehension is horrible}, she can’t learn how to drive to save her life {there are too many things to remember, especially in extreme weather}, and her common sense is seemingly non-existent {she’s stuck a fork in a toaster to Get That Bread out one-too-many times}. It’s impossible to blame anyone for thinking Amy’s slow, because in truth, in some ways she is.

However, what she lacks in the type of intelligence schools measure, she makes up for in people smarts, quick wits, and sharp instincts. Not to mention, she’s kind and empathetic to a fault. Unfortunately, people never get to know her well-enough to see that, and Amy’s so convinced that she’s dumb she doesn’t even try to prove herself.

She comes off as wide-eyed, strange and innocent, all of which she is; you never quite know what’s she’s going to say or how she’s assessing a situation, and most of the time she’s funny without even knowing it {someone who knows her well knows when it’s appropriate to laugh at something she’s said}. She usually spends her free time alone drawing, taking walks, or doing whatever her brain manages to come up with; she’s an only child, so she’s a pro at finding the oddest ways to pass time.

traits

VIRTUES: bold, empathetic, friendly, thoughtful, curious
VICES: sensitive, young, reclusive, impulsive, unfocused

misc.

❥ will eat everything in your kitchen then ask to go to mcdonalds.
❥ consistently stays up until ungodly hours of the night and somehow still has the energy to run a marathon in the morning.
❥ do not ask her about any sort of disney princess movie or broadway musical unless it's all you want to hear about for the next week.
❥ certified clutz and will unknowingly wake you up in the morning by doing god knows what at an unfortunately loud volume.
❥ can actually draw and paint pretty well; it's her favorite hobby.
❥ mom was a doctor, dad was an accountant; ironically, she was never motivated to do well in school. she’s of the ‘sit back and let life come to you’ variety.

TIME MACHINE
HISTORY:
Born on a dreary April 10th, Amelia Marie Lynn came into the world screaming alongside the best of them. On all accounts it was a normal birth {if you feel so inclined as to say her mother and father are ‘all’, that is}. Amy grew up living a normal golden childhood; being a bit slow on the uptake, and struggling to make friends as a result, caused her to grow a closer bond with her parents than most children, but that was the only particularly peculiar thing anyone could say about her life.

Until her sixteenth birthday.

Sixteen April tenth’s after her apparent ‘natural and very stereotypical’ birth, Amy was visited by a stranger {idk if they’re male or female yet}. Not in the middle of the night, as is how most creepy stranger meetings go, but in the middle of the day while she was home alone, waiting for her parents to return from work. The stranger had seemed nice enough when Amy opened the door and greeted them, but then they pushed their way inside like it wasn’t a big deal, talking to her about all sorts of crazy, magical happenings, and how ‘it was time’, and how Amelia really needed to come with them. Now, preferably.

Naturally, like any other thoroughly-creeped-out teenager would’ve done in her situation, she didn’t call the cops - oh, no - she teleported. The last thing Amy saw before she hit the ground was a town that was definitely not her own.

VISAGE
NAME: jophiel larue.
NICKNAMES: juno.
D.O.B: "if i tell you, i'd have to kill you."
AGE: 37 years old.
HEIGHT: 5'8"
GENDER: cis-female.
ORIENTATION: demiromantic bisexual.
ROLE: a killer ex.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: laura harrier.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: in her heart of hearts, jophiel could never be the woman who forgives and forgets. it’s simply just not in her nature. she is gabriel’s very terrifying ex who can and will kill him if given the chance. they had been through it all, childhood backstory that he conveniently doesn’t remember, sexual tension within missions, rival-esque dynamic in sparring matches, they were the entire package. but gabriel wanted out, and it was clear to see that jophiel enjoyed the job and didn’t want to run away from it.

if jophiel is anything, she is a person of valor. she doesn’t give into cowardice nor allows her emotions to crack her walls. she is a fighter with a kind face, the siren of the group who had quickly taken over when gabriel went awol. he loved her at the heat of their missions, when gabriel had a taste for blood against his fists and flesh beneath his boots. but eventually, his rampage died and there was a longing for a domestic life that jophiel couldn’t reflect. she enjoys power and control, craved the familiar feeling of adrenaline and itched for conflict. she was no longer juno as he was no longer the little boy. a by-product of their terrible childhood but instead of fighting it, she embraced the lifestyle and adapted to ride the tide. it’s a dog-eat-dog world and baby, she’s the top hound. (gabriel was definitely pegged by her in their lifetime but you didn’t hear that from me)

traits

VIRTUES: assertive, charismatic, ambitious, girlboss, intelligent.
VICES: cunning, gatekeeper, gaslighter, scornful, petty.

misc.

❥ her and gabriel used to slow dance at ungodly hours of the day on the roof-top of their facility just because she knew how much gabriel loved it. he loves dancing and he always thought waltzing underneath the stars were romantic.

NAME: raphael iglesias.
NICKNAMES: raffy < 3, raf.
D.O.B: june 22, 1983.

HEIGHT: 5'9"
GENDER: cis-male.
ORIENTATION: pansexual.
ROLE: resident fun guy who also commits a few hits.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: alfonso herrera.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: in another world, raphael probably would have been an amazing father or a very fun uncle. despite their drive and precision to kill, raphael and chamuel are both the laughter of the team. he’s hilarious as he is cunning. this job is dirty work, and he doesn’t refrain from mud-slinging if he knows it will throw his targets off their game. gabriel remembers him for the undying spirit he had, the way he’d patch the team up after rough cases, and provide a great story while he stitched their wounds and mended their cuts.

he and gabriel were friends. there is no doubt about it. although raphael experienced more brotherhood with chamuel (and still does to this day) when gabriel left, he was hurt. to him, no matter how fucked up the archangels were, they were family. the archangels are the closest thing to that for raphael and when their leader abandoned them, it felt like the deepest stab in the heart. through raphael, gabriel found laughter that he hadn’t thought was possible in their line of work. even as they were children, raphael was always the boy who got lashes on his hands for not taking training seriously. but when he’s working, he fights like he’s starving; as if the person he’s up against is in between his next meal and he’ll need to tear through them before he could indulge. out of everyone in the team, raphael fights like a man needing to survive, it’s a bit erratic and very much passionate—sparsely does he take any prisoners.

traits

VIRTUES: patient, selfless, generous, lighthearted, comedic.
VICES: can switch up personas real quick, a little devious, hard-hitter, will kill an innocent no matter what, sticks with the plan regardless of morals.

GENDER: cis-male.
ORIENTATION: asexual panromantic.
ROLE: full-time hitman, part-time gullible idiot.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: winston duke.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: the youngest of the archangels and by-far the nicest. there had been a time where chamuel looked up to gabriel. being the youngest and he being the leader, chamuel found himself following gabriel like a duckling during their youth. he learned everything he knew from him, from the way to shoot a gun into someone’s head, to stitching up deep wounds, to the right what to floss your teeth. hell, even night leading up to gabriel’s unannounced departure he still wished his “big brother” good night before going to his quarters for sleep.

the rest of the archangels call him the soul of the team. perhaps it was because of all the babying they put him through in the early years, but it proved to be true. whenever chamuel was out too long on a solo assignment, he’d always return back to hq with the others bickering. chamuel is the glue that holds everyone together, the 2nd half of him and raphael’s comedic duoship, and one of the kindest among the archangels. though if you think his kindness would grant you mercy, you would be mistaken. along with his kindness, he holds the strongest physical power. he could move a train with nothing but the chain wrapped around his chest and has broken a man’s wrist simply by gripping onto it too hard. it is quick for targets to be intimidated by his stature alone; six feet and five inches of pure muscle and terror—you don’t want your face to meet the end of his brass knuckles.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: riz ahmed.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: uriel is not a fighter. his rather lanky frame makes that clear. to an unsuspecting idiot or perhaps someone new to the kill-for-hire scene, uriel would be considered as the runt of his pack. the weak one. the one that they wouldn’t need to worry about. however they’d be completely wrong. although uriel was not the strongest out of the archangels when it came to physical ability, his danger came in the form of his mind and the creations that came out from it.

gabriel would easily describe uriel to have a brain no person could unlock nor encrypt besides uriel himself. after the first sparring sessions they had together as children proved uriel to lack duration to be a fighter, yahweh moved him to toys and chemistry sets. there, he played around and tinkered, building creations to flip the other children over when they least expected it, gave some of them illness in their food for teasing him over his teddy. at present day, uriel was the man with the plan; the man who needed to remind everyone of their gasmasks as things were about to become pestilent. gabriel used to give him the nickname of dr. frankenstein for the madness he would create. the two were friends, uriel found solace in gabriel more than he did the rest of the archangels, though their dynamic mainly consisted of literature references and board games (a guilty pleasure of uriel’s). it had been both jophiel and uriel who had pieced it together that gabriel had left out of his on volition. and to uriel it stung. but life pauses for no man and a man of innovation like uriel moved on quickly. or at least continues to try.

traits

ORIENTATION: aromantic bisexual.
ROLE: the real angel of death.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: angelina michelle.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: azrael deserved to be the angel of death. her name proved so. however that was not the case, as gabriel took the title away from her. that being said, azrael and gabriel do not get along. if him and jophiel had a rival-eqsue, playful, cat-and-mouse dynamic, azrael and his stemmed from pure hate and jealousy. whenever they fought each other in training, she attacked to kill not to disarm; she’d chop his head off with an ax before considering choking him unconscious. if a warlord and gabriel were hanging from a cliff, she’d likely save the warlord. it wasn’t that gabriel intentionally did anything to get her to hate him, it was purely circumstance and anything that sprouted further was due to her sour attitude towards him.

despite her ruthless denial, azrael craved for yahweh’s approval. she went downright feral for a simple utter of “good job” directed at her. it was indisputable that azrael is the scariest archangel, her bloody track record built her up to be the monster under every kids bed that a parent didn’t want to check for. they were all brought into this world when they were young and although all thrived in the cutthroat environment, the archangel women thrived in it. azrael especially would put in the extra hours and do the occasional solo missions if given the chance. some say the wine she drinks after work was the blood of the fallen she had cut down and honestly, gabriel believes it. she is unhinged. the gal from down under who will send you six feet under if you cross her in any way, shape, or form. it is safe to say that when gabriel became one of those falling under that category, it brought a smile to her face. she will bring god his head on a silver platter and prepare herself some silverware to eat him up.

APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE: tbd.
FACECLAIM: max irons.

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: michael had always thought that gabriel cheated his way to the top. no matter how many times the rest would smack him at the back of the head—reminding him that gabriel had gone through hell and back to be the man he was, michael always thought gabriel got the easy way, a paved path to success and leadership. no pain, no gain as they say, and if michael had been given the opportunity that gabriel was given, he would have taken it. and he would have been twice the man gabriel was when he came out of it.

to gabriel, michael had always been the whiney middle child. not taken too seriously as he was younger than the likes of uriel and raphael, but not given the attention he craved as he was older than azrael and chamuel. there was a stiffness with him that made it clear that he wanted to be perceived a certain way, yet no one saw him as such. michael wanted to be perfect. charismatic, bold, the ideal hitman. he wanted to be the leader. instead, the archangels knew him to be by-the-book, precise yet predictable, too keen on performing a certain maneuver only to be countered due to his inability to change. he took the way yahweh would teach them to spare and he’d mirror it perfectly to the point it is the only form he knows. once he has a strategy, he’d rather die than change in the middle of the game; the king of the hill must die on his hill, swallowing his pride would be worse than eating thumbtacks.
