Shadows of the Past

- The host -

(zur Story geht es hier)

Im Voraus meinen Dank an Eric Schuler, Tobias Kirchgessner, Charles K. Foster III, Uwe L. und Florian Wagner. Wir alle haben an dieser Geschichte mitgeschrieben, denn sonst gäbe es sie nicht ;-)

Gabrielite: Carniel (Tobi)

Age: 8, but looks older

Gender: male

Haircolour: coppery red

Eyecolour: dark brown

Height: 1,45 m

Weight: 45 Kg

Wingspan: 6 m

Wingcolour: white with a silver tinge

Short description: Carniel appears to be a 9 year old child (but he’s only 8 ). His outward appeareance shows also that he is muscular which emphasizes his older appearance. Every time one of the other characters may had seen him, his red hair was always strictly bound in the typical scarf of the Gabrielites. The same with his deep black tunica, which seems to be washed anew everytime and his flamesword is always so polished that anyone could see his own face in it.
Apropos Flamesword: anyone who watched him some time might have seen how he is staring in its flames without any reason..
It is also noticeable, that he sometimes suddenly appears somewhere without, anybody noticing him and he always tries to move silenly.

Michaelite: Thommariel (Eric)

Age: 10

Gender: male

Haircolour: blond (light golden tinge)

Eyecolour: blue

Height: 1,50 m

Weight: 47 Kg

Wingspan: 6,7 m

Wingcolour: radiant white

Short description: Thommariel is an Engel of the order of the Michaelites. He seems to be a boy not older than 10 years with a high of nearly 1.50 m. His short, blond hair has a slightly golden touch and with his blue eyes he appears to be innocent. His clothes are clean and his shoulder plate is painted with a golden key. On his body you can see the lines of his Signum.

Even if he looks at you or is talking with you, it seems that he is watching what happens around him. His voice is calm and his Latin and Common seems to be accurate. From time to time Thommariel shows some arrogance.

He stands behind the Angelic Church and her teachings and will not accept any deeds against the Church or one of her members. The sword he wears is not only for decoration.

Signum
Die Seele der Schar/ Soul of the Fellowship
The Michaelite can communicate telpathically with every member of her host. To do this, she must "open" a channel to one or several members or the complete Host.
Die Stimme/ The Voice
The Michaelite can alter her voice in such a way to sound soothing, threatening or even commanding. This power works as a hypnotic force on most human beings.
Innere Ruhe /Inner Calm
This power enables the Michaelite to keep a cool, clear head in most stress and fighting situations.

Ramielite: Egriel (Charles)

Age: 9

Gender: male

Haircolour: dirty brown

Eyecolour: green

Height: 1,47 m

Weight: 50 Kg

Wingspan: 6,3 m

Wingcolour: white, with tones of dirty-looking ocre and gray

Short description: Anyways, "he" is a Ramielite, with unkempt dirty-brown hair and green eyes. His face normally carries an expression of distant thought, and he's generally aloof, but not a snob. On the occasion, he has re-designed murals or provided art for a new stained glass window at his Himmel.

Standing at 1.47 m, his body has seen much exercise, especially in lifting. He weighs about 60 kg; 50 kg without the books, heh. To the casual on-looker, he would appear to be a 9 year-old boy.

Signum
Ikone/ Icon
The Ramielite can reproduce everything she has ever seen by word and/ or picture.
In Zungen Reden/ To speak in Tongues
The Ramielite can communicate with others of her Order and pass messages to them. The recipient "hears" those messages in her head,
spoken with the voice of the sender.
Innere Ruhe/ Inner Calm
See same power of the Michaelites above.

Raphaelite: Phinael (Kim)

Age: 8

Gender: female

Haircolour: redbrown

Eyecolour: grey

Height: 37 Kg

Weight: 1,35 m

Wingspan: 5,2 m

Wingcolour: radiant white with gold-tipped primary feathers

Short description: Her name is Phinael, and she is the Raphaelite.
She is red-haired with pale, creamy skin and grey eyes. Freckles cover her cheeks and the bridge of the nose. She wears her hair in the traditional tight bun of her order. Constantly tiny curls from her normally tight-curled hair escape this bun.

She appears to be eight years old, with a height of about 1,3 meters.
She is a very calm girl, who seldom speaks - and then only if asked. She seldom uses her divine powers to cause harm, and then only in self defense. She is not a follower of the newer, more aggressive path of her order. Thus she carries no weapons.

Her wingspan is about 5 meters across, with bright, gold-tipped feathers of unstained, pure white (I can calculate the wingspan for every other Engel of the host, which would be helpful).
She is a good flyer, but tires easily due to her slight frame. On short distances, she might be the fastest of the host, and the most dexterous. Her flight combines her quickness together with some breakneck manoevers she seems to enjoy. The only time one can see her smiling, is, when she flies. This part of the angelic life seems to please her most, together with giving relief to pained creatures. Her small frame allows her to wedge through some places the bigger Engel cannot follow through.

Signum
Das Sehende Auge/ All-seeing eye
The Raphaelite can diagnose the bodily condition of a creature by touch.
Heilende Hand/ Healing Hand
The Raphaelite can heal wounds by touch or open new ones in the same manner.

Urielite: Ronariel (Uwe)

Age: between 9 and 10

Gender: male

Haircolour: black

Eyecolour: dark brown

Height: 1,55 m

Weight: 49 Kg

Wingspan: 6,3 m

Wingcolour: radiant white

Short description: Ronariel, so the name of this Urielite, is an Engel with black hair that he wears bound to a short tail as all of his order do. His skin is dark brown and little skars all over his body show that his training was not an easy one. His face is an sharp one , and with its dark skin he seams to be angry .
His sharp eyes always seam to track people around him, it never seams that he trusts anyone who stands in his back. He always tries to avoid such situations by turning around.
His weapons are mostly ordinary for his order. He wears a composite bow, arrows on his back and a sword on the right side of his body.

Raguelite: Calahel (Florian)

Age: 8

Gender: male

Haircolour: pale blond

Eyecolour: black

Height: 1,45 m

Weight: 48 Kg

Wingspan: 6,5 m

Wingcolour: pure white

Short description: Calahel appears as the stereotypic Raguelite, a warder of the past, with his short trimmed, pale-blond hair and grey seamed weapon skirt. He seems to be around the age of eight and stands typical 1.45 m. His body musculature is well defined as for a fighting angel, and his carefully scaled face shows a nearly emotionless expression. His eyes flicker lightly when it seems that he is overstressed and he easily becomes nervous and provoked.

Calahel is a very intuitive angel, his skills and his artistic dexterity are extraordinaire. He might not be the strongest, but he might be the fastest…

But there is also a disturbing flaw: He is afraid of animals. He’s got no reason why, but the barking of a dog can make him freeze in fear.

Signum
Geist der Maschine / Spirit of the Machine
The Raguelite posesses an inate understanding of technical devices and the way they work. This understanding is not very accurate and only covers the general chcracteristics of a technical device.
Elmsfeuer/ St. Elmo's Fire
The Raguelite can emit a weak, electromagentic field around her body.
