Tami: *Bows* Reviewing the app today, welcome the King of Hell, Satan...! But he couldn't make it, so you get me.
Jace: *pathetic rimshot*
Tami: Shut up.
I figured I'd follow the trend and submit another character...the only this I got
caught on is the Guardian...since it's an Angelus senshi, I thought I'd follow Ariel's
lead, and have his guardian awaken me sometimes...anyway read on.
Rach: Cool.
Emiko: I don't think Angelus guardians should be such a big problem now that
I've updated the guardian creation page...
Senshi: Seraphiel, Angelus Senshi of Battle

Tami: You go to Fleming.
Jace: Just 'cause I'm inherently cool doesn't mean people have to copy me.
Emiko: We need more college people, or maybe some people who live in Salem and go to Salem High.
Perdix: Which reminds me, you haven't updated that school listing yet, have you? You need to state that Salem High is in Salem, a town right next door to Roanoke.
Emiko: Oh yeah... But I just remembered to say again that 60% of Fleming students are black. Do you think this guy's black?
Perdix: Why don't you try reading the application, idiot.
Emiko: ::kicks him::

Rach: Freestyling? Whats that?
Emiko: Don't ask me. I'm an idiot when it comes to pop culture slang.

Hobbies: Casper spends most of his free time in his studio, mixing and recording different
beats. When he does journey out, it's usually to go clothes shopping, or to go to
wrestling practice. Another favorite of his is a good argument, which can usually be found
when he talks with his sister.
Rach: ^^, sounds like me and my sisters.
Tami: Another music person. Let's have somebody who hates music, can't
paint, and likes maths and science.
Emiko: Hear hear!
Aspirations: To be a famous rapper and producer. Once that's established, he wants to come
out with his own clothing line, which he has already dubbed "Casperian".

Percy: *Wakes up from his grave* BOO!
Rach: *Sings* Casper, the friendly parrot....
Percy: ITS PERCY! BOO!
Rach: *Screams, and hides*
Emiko: Reminds me of Sophie... She's a rapper...
Gemstone: Ivory
Emiko: Ivory's an animal thing, not a gemstone! ;_; And it's wrong to kill elephants and rhinos for their horns and tusks!
Perdix: Tusks and horns.
History
Born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, Casper Sloane enjoyed a childhood where his every
desire was appeased. He was the first to receive the newest toys and nicest clothes, due
to his father Evan's winning the lottery a year after he was born.
Rach: *glare* I hate you.
Tami: I find that suspicious. I betcha he's with the Mafia.
Opting to stay in Roanoke, Casper and his father, who soon after opened a small
comic store
Rach: *Snatches Gundam Wing and Ranma 1/2 comics from the store*BWAHAHA!
Percy: THEIF!
Emiko: Shh, Percy, if you're quiet we might get away with it!
to keep busy, moved into an old Victorian mansion that he had always said they
were going to own one day. Casper's mother Denise ran off with an old boyfriend just after
Casper was born, which has affected both father and son irrevocably.
Rach: Moofles. Poor guy.
Growing up without a mother, Casper soon learned that money did not at all equal happiness
Jace: He just doesn't know where to shop.
Emiko: ::giggles:: He-ey, maybe he can buy you fancy android protetics, Jace!
Perdix: You seem to be forgetting he's our enemy, and I don't think "fancy android prosthetics" exist.
Emiko: Oh yeah.
, and has since cut all ties with her, even though she has repeatedly attempted to
contact him. Living off the interest of his fortune, Evan runs his small store with a huge
popularity with the youth of Roanoke. While his father doesn't care for Casper's clothing
and musical tastes, he and his son share a very close bond. When Casper was five, his
father adopted a daughter. He felt as though a female presence in the house would be
positive, as well as keep his son from getting too spoiled. And so, the Mediterranean girl
named Kalli was soon living with them. The two children didn't take too well to each-other
at first, but as the years went on, they became best friends.
Percy and Rach: *Coos* Awwwwww.
As he grew, Casper immersed himself in music of all kinds, but especially hip-hop.
Resisting the stereotype that white kids had no place in rap music, he soon began to
writing rhymes, and immediately fell in love.
Tami: Aaaargh! Another rapper! *Immediately pushes Sophie and Casper off a cliff*
Perdix: Hey! ;_;
Emiko: She's got a point, Perdy. Sophie's already the resident white rapper.
Rach: Sounds a bit like Donny, but you couldn't possible know that since his review isn't
up. *Glare at Emiko*
Percy: STOP MENTIONING DONNY!
As his interest grew to the point of obsession, his father caved and let him turn a space
in the basement into a small studio. Experimenting with different beats, from classical to
house, Casper distinguished himself as an excellent DJ (DJ Dreamz to be precise), already
having distributed CD's he's made throughout the local high schools and working parties in
the city. On Christmas Eve, just after Casper had turned seventeen, he and his family
attended church services as they did every year. This would be the night Casper's life
would forever change. He skimmed through the Bible that he found in the pew in front of
him, and came across a passage: "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Behold, I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed..." Upon reading those words, something deep inside
Casper stirred. He looked up at the huge cross that was before him, and passed out.
Tami: Due to drug overdose? I think that would be refreshing. "And the
character had a massive fainting attack in front of a holy symbol, but it was just the gin
and tonic they'd had that morning."
Percy: Weird...
Emiko: Tami, or Casper?
Perdix: Both.
In his sleep, he had visions. Visions of realms that he had only heard of. Heaven. Hell.
Those words did no justice to actually being there. In his dream, a great voice had spoke
to him: "The seven angels stood before God...and another angel came and stood at the
alter, having a golden censer...and the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of
the altar...and the seven angels prepared themselves to sound."
Rach: Spooky!
Then a single drop of white flame fell to Casper's hand, and he awoke. When he
came to, he was safe in his bed, and it was later he was told that he had simply fainted.
He shrugged it off, and went downstairs to open his presents. It was only afterwards that
he noticed the strange silver band on his finger, crowned with a winged cross. Casper has
since forgotten
the incident, but cannot take the ring off for any reason. He doesn't feel right separated
from it.
Rach: I love this history. It was fantastic. It was well written, thorough,
and all around good. I really like this application so far..
Emiko: We obviously have a secret Angelus guardian running around. What fun!
Personality
Casper is arrogant. Arrogant to a fault. Between the fame of being a school celebrity and
the attention of the ladies, its given Casper a full head. His attitude is being
foul-mouthed and extremely self-centered, but inside he's a pretty good guy to know. He's
trustworthy and sensitive, being an artist at heart.
Rach: Still like Donny. And since they are both on the same team, they could
become real close friends if he is accepted. ^^.
Tami: You know the rules, Rach. If they're alike, they're gonna hate
eachother's guts. I like that.
Being white and adopting the hip-hop look has gotten him a lot of negative attention as
well. While most respect his flow and musical ability, black and white, some cannot accept
him as a hip-hop artist. To them, he's just another white boy trying to be black.
Rach: Donny feels the hurt, man.
Percy: STOP MENTIONING DONNY, DANG IT!
Rach: HELP! RABID BIRD!
Percy: Birds don't get rabies, idiot.
Jace: Don't worry. Casper can be in my posse, and we can get phat, down and
dope... and he can wait on me, hand and... hand.
Emiko: He and Sophie could be real romantic interests...
Perdix: Blasphemy! Don't say that, woman!
Emiko: I love it when you talk like Wufei, Perdy. ^^
Perdix: .... I don't even wanna know.
Casper shrugs off these "haters", pointing out that his skill speaks
for itself, and goes way past what color he is. One of his major pet peeves is that he's
often compared to Casper from the movie "Kids", which usually sends him into a
rage, flinging insults at light speed at whoever said it.
Rach: *giggles*
Emiko: Never saw that movie.
One major fault of his is his lack of respect for women. Casper goes through them like
their going out of style. With his charm and talent, combined with the appeal of his
money, he's had a turn with most of the attractive female population at William Fleming.
Leta: Stay away from me, meanie!
Percy: *rolls eyes*
Jace: If you're the best William Fleming can churn out, Big Ears, Casper
better move schools.
Tami: Shut up, you!
His sister speculates that since his mom leaving him under the circumstances that she did,
he formed the notion that girls are nothing but nymphos at the core, willing to do
everything and anything for sex, and can be disrespected as such. He's
had a few girlfriends here and there, but dismisses them quickly when he gets bored. When
asked if he's ever been in love, Casper replied: "Love ain't nothing but a chemical
reaction in our brains to make sure our seed gets passed on."
Rach: Riiigghhtt
Tami: Casper thinks too much.
As the Archangelus Senshi Seraphiel,
Emiko: I need help. Judeo-Christian mythology is not my forte. I only included it to try to be fair to more religions. Exactly which angels are the archangels?
Casper wields his power expertly. Yet he often wonders if it's the other way around; a thought that terrifies him. He's done research on Seraphiel, and still can't believe that he holds as much power as he does. Casper fears that he'll be lost in all this power, or that God will send his soul somewhere else, and use his body as a tool. As such, each time he uses his power, it's a great leap for him. Also of importance is the after-effects. After transforming back to his human self, Casper is almost completely drained of energy, and needs a good nights rest and a big meal afterwards.
Tami: Eat at Perdix's! Have a McSophie and some Graikos Fries, made from real Graikos Senshi!
Emiko: ::gags::
Rach: This application is really a joy to read. I really liked how you described his
jump into Seraphiel, and how it jogs his emotions.
Appearance
Casper is 5'8" and 150 lbs. His weight is constantly changing because of wrestling,
but his build is chiseled, with lightly bronzed skin. He has brown hair with a hint of
blond. It is curly to the point of a fro.
Rach: *Giggles*FRO!
Tami: I got tears in my 'fro...
He usually wears a hat or a bandana that matches his outfit to cover it up.
Emiko: B'lieve it or not... you can get suspended if you wear a hat or bandana during class.
His clothes are hip-hop oriented, and always cutting edge. Baggy blue jeans, Timberland boots, and Fubu sweaters are his wardrobe choice.
Emiko: All very popular at Fleming.
His brown eyes are slightly slanted, giving him an almost Asian appearance, even though
he is fully Italian. He has numerous piercings: his left ear and eyebrow, and his tongue.
He always wears a silver chain around his neck, with a charm that says
"Playa4Life".
Rach: Short, but good. I liked it.
Tami: Oh, God, 'Playa'. Does his car have a 'Hooterz' plate?
Fuku
Seraphiel's costume consists of silver metal shoulder guards with two gray straps that zig
zag over his chest, connecting at a gray belt. He doesn't wear a shirt underneath this.
Rach: Oooo... tres sexy, ne?
Tami: I'm sure I'm drooling. Or maybe that's just the ulcer.
Emiko: I don't believe in romance.
Perdix: You sure were drooling over nerdy Noah Wyle in the ER premiere...
Emiko: Shut up! >.< ::kicks him::
Perdix: Not to mention just about every male anime character you've come across.
Emiko: ::kick, kick, kick:: Fine, I concede! But I don't like buff or shirtless
men. I like 'em skinny and nerdy. And with their shirts on.
His pants are white and flare at the centers. He wears a simple pair of gray
sandals, and a pair of silver metal wrist guards on each arm.
Rach: I dunno why, but this reminds me of a disco scene.
On his back, two more gray straps zig-zag, but do not block his wings when they
appear. His wings are pure white, and have
a span of about twelve feet.
Rach: BIG!
Tami: Uhoh! Major no-no! Prefer if senshi only get wings at Super or Eternal form, even
the Angelus senshi. Emiko, I look to you?
Emiko: Yes, that's right. Angelus senshi get wings at super form, the rest, if
they get wings, only get them at Eternal, and it depends on their power base...
He is capable of flight, and can attain speeds of over 300 mph.
Emiko: Eefles, flight is another specialty. See, if your an Angelus with a power relating to flight, then your wings at Super level will be functional. All Angelus get flight capability at Eternal form. But this wasn't supposed to be a problem yet since I said somewhere that wings weren't allowed.
Also, his piercing studs all turn white when in his senshi form.
Rach: He keeps his tounge piercing? Weird.
Transformation
Casper uses a simple silver ring, adorned with a winged cross on right ring finger. He
folds his hands in front of him, in a prayer stance. He says "Seraphiel Archangelus
Power Ascension!" Light explodes from the ring, as Casper bows his head, with
his arms extended at his sides and his legs together. From above him, two halos descend at
his sides, leaving ivory wings in their wake. He flaps them once, sending fiery feathers
everywhere, but specifically onto his shoulders and the rest of his body. Once they touch,
a piece of his fuku materializes. Once finished, he poses with his wings fully open. His
head is tilted upwards, his legs are spread, and his arms are folded across his chest.
Rach: WWAAIII!
Percy: I don't like him. *Grumble*
Rach: Just because he is an Angelus, and a cool one at that! ^^
Emiko: Simple, but good transformation.
Powers
Truth Weapon Creation: a simple attack that creates any standard non-mechanical weapon he
can imagine (sword, staff etc.). Speaking the words "Heaven help us", he thrusts
his right hand over his head. An orb of white energy in the form of a halo appears
and begins to spin. Seraphiel then says "Truth Weapon Creation", and the halo
becomes whatever weapon he wills.
The weapon is solid white in color and has no power in itself; it is merely used as a tool
for hand-to-hand combat.
Rach: Cool! I get it. It matches battle well, good work. This
one has a con within itself, so I am not gonna scold for that.
Emiko: I like it. Nifty. But can he make more than one weapon, or only one at a
time? I think it should only be one to start.
Mysterious Ways: Seraphiel stands tall, and spreads his wings. Uttering the phrase
"He works in mysterious ways," he folds his wings over his body, and they
shimmer with white light. He then fades away. He is invisible to the naked eye for a
three-minute span. However, if he is harmed while unseen, he is rendered visible once
again. He can use this power on anyone he embraces, but if he becomes unconscious, the
person remains invisible until he awakens and ends the spell. If he dies, the person is
invisible permanently.
Rach: Cool! These powers are tres neat. However, how does this match
battle? I'll let it go though, since the appie is so cool so far.
Emiko: ::starts to laugh evilly::
Perdix: Hoo boy, she's got something planned for this now...
Heavenly Justice Flare: Seraphiel spreads his wings, and looks up at the sky. He whispers
"Give me strength," and a beam of white light shoots down from the heavens into
his forehead. When it subsides, he looks at his opponent, his eyes aglow with divine
power. He screams " Heavenly Justice Flare "and fires a concentrated white
energy blast from his eyes. It is capable of disabling an opponent with one shot, but it
leaves Seraphiel momentarily blind and susceptible to attack.
Rach: Cool! These attacks are really good, I like how everything is
balanced.
Perdix: Though I don't think battles are very just.
Emiko: How does it disable the target?
Angelic Embrace: a simple wall of energy he creates that protects anyone inside from
harm. A mantra doesn't need to be said to create this; Seraphiel simply gestures toward
who he wants to protect, and the field appears. It dissipates after one attack hits it,
but it shields against anything, no matter how powerful. Unfortunately, if another attack
follows immediately after the field vanishes, nothing can be done.
Rach: Cool. Four powers is enough though! I used cool to many
times. ^^
Percy: You bet, you have an awful vocabulary.
Rach: AT LEAST I AM REVIEWING!! .<
Tami: These powers are more defensive than offensive, not at all in character for an angel
of battle. Nice, however.
Guardian
Casper has no guardian, unless he count the time when he thought his goldfish was talking
to him. Which you shouldn't.
Rach: *gigle*
Tami: Hah! Told you about the drugs!
Star/Myth/Angel
Originally the God of War, Seraphiel personifies divine justice. He grants power,
invisibility,
Rach: Ah, that explains the invisibilty attack.
Tami: Aaaahhh.
Jace: Ohhhhhh.
Tami: Eeeeee.
Jace: Eeehhhh.
Emiko: Oooooh! ::runs back to delete some previous comments::
and invincibility. Seraphiel is responsible for holding in check Leviathan, the monster of
evil who will swallow the souls of sinners on Judgment Day.
Tami: Don't eat me, Leviathan! I'll give you cookies!
Emiko: Is bribery a sin?
Writing Sample (I'm going for something kinda different...bear with me)
Somewhere in the realms of Faith...
"Him?" the Power asked, exasperated.
"Yes, him. He'll do nicely," Destiny decided, skimming through his
profile one more time.
"Oh c'mon. He has zero faith, and he sins like crazy," the Power
complained, gesturing to various points in his profile.
"He has faith. He's just private about it. And his sins are all
minor...you know how He feels about the minor stuff," Destiny said, a
hint of
annoyance creeping into her tone.
"He's too old. I thought it was decided that we would do this early on in
the chosen ones. Look what happened to Joan," the Power argued, slowly
realizing that this argument was not going well for him.
Rach: Joan of Arc? *Giggles*Bwahaha! Stupid people above!
Percy: Stop insulting religion.
Emiko: No, keep insulting religion!
Perdix: Just don't insult polytheism.
Emiko: We are so bad, Perdy. ^_^
"Everything went according to plan with Joan. We really have no more time
for this. It's going to be him, and that's that." Destiny eased closer to
the Power. "This isn't like you. What's going on?" The Power looked upon
her, quite aware that she already knew very well what was going on. She
just
wanted to hear him say it.
"I...I feel bad I guess. If we do this, then this changes his life
forever," the Power explained. "He's just a kid."
Destiny smiled, immediately brightening up the whole world. "They're all
just kids, Seraphiel." She kissed his forehead, and gently stroked his
hair.
"All of them are in it together. They're going to go through something
that
is hardly imaginable. They're going to change the world."
The Power Seraphiel nodded, admitting defeat. "It sucks."
"Yes it does. It sucks more than anything. But I have confidence in
him...in all of them." Destiny parted with him, and the two straightened
up.
"Are you ready?"
The Power sighed, and shrugged. " As I'll ever be." Destiny nodded, and
waved farewell to her friend.
Rach: That was cool!! A new, really original idea!
Tami: Highly original, although aren't the Angels and things... dead?
Emiko: Well, since they're sort of loosely floating around as spirits... I
liked it. ^^
Roanoke Memorial Hospital
December 17, 1982 11:58 PM
"OH MY GOD!!" the auburn-haired woman cried, feeling the slash of agony
cut her in half.
Tami: She shouldn't have had the gender-change operation.
Emiko: ::bursts out laughing:: We are horrid!
She grabbed the burly hand beside her, easily cracking the
knuckles beneath her grip.
"You're doing good honey...I love you so much," her husband whispered,
wincing slightly, his glasses slipping off his nose.
The doctor peered up from between her legs. "Here we go, Mrs. Sloane.
We're gonna give it one good push, alright?" The woman screamed something
incoherent, which the doctor took as an affirmation. She screamed again,
calling upon every ounce of strength she could muster. White heat
suddenly
flashed through her brain, sailing down through her body. She sighed, her
head crumpling to the pillow behind her.
"Congratulations, Mister and Mrs. Sloane. You have a beautiful baby boy."
The couple sobbed in unison. After examining him thoroughly, a chubby
black
nurse placed a small white bundle in the woman's arms. Her husband put
his
arm around her aching shoulders, and the two looked down at the product
of
their love. A small pink face peered up at them with tiny gray eyes.
"I thought we were gonna have a girl?" her husband said, not a trace of
regret in his tone.
"I guess not," the woman laughed a bit, lifting the small flap of blanket
over the baby's forehead.
"He looks like a little Casper the Ghost, all wrapped up," the husband
joked softly. His wife looked at him with a wide smile.
"He does..." she looked down at her son once again, and nodded. "That's
not a bad name, actually."
"Casper?"
"Yeah. Casper Sloane," she declared, the baby yawning slightly as if to
agree. Her husband murmured in happy agreement, and the two watched as
the
child drifted off to sleep.
Somewhere deep inside of Casper, a voice spoke. "Welcome to the world,
little one."
Rach: WAII! Awesome awesome awesome!
Tami: How heartwarming! It makes me feel all snug inside!
Emiko: ::can't get over the fact he realyl was named after Casper the Ghost::
Will you allow your senshi to be killed? If not, why? I will Seraphiel to be
killed, but keep in mind that this guy is an Archangel. One of only seven.
There better be a crisis of cosmic proportions to do him in.
Tami: I see him getting run over by a truck.
Donny: Yeah well, he better keep in his place! I am the PRINCE of all Archangels,
man! Yo yo!
Rach: Get over it, dumb butt. Alright, I adored this application. The writing
was great, and I thought it was all over very thorough and a pleasure to read. If I
kept on saying all the good things of this application, I would take up a whole page, so
I'll stop now. Accept! What about you Emiko, and a new addition, Tami!
Tami: I like 'im, no complaints from me.
Jace: ....although he's a despicable homie, and a 'playa' to boot... which means I have no
qualms about killing him, he's Angelus anyway. Hah, hah, hah!
Tami: Shut up. Anyway, I wish there had been a more battle-oriented attack in here. Maybe
revise one of them? Otherwise, accept!
Emiko: Accepted with minor power revision. Just that wierd disabling justice thing... And tell me how to know which are Archangels. ;_;
Perdix: Also, ditch the wings until later.
