Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations):
A good kid in heart; your average Catholic boy. He struggles to remain true to his obligations, for sometimes questions the power of God. At times he finds himself lost, falling into the belief that not everyone can be saved and be truly touched by God. He questions at times as well why such a burden has been placed onto his shoulders. But he still goes on, trying his best.
Origin Info/Details:
Michael was an orphan and has been for as long as he can remember. He doesn't remember a thing about his parents, but for some strange reason, people keep saying he has his father's eyes. Oddly enough, Michael's eyes are a golden kind of pearl white. Later, when Michael would grow older, he would question them about this, but receive no further answers. It is as if that is all they can tell him about his father.
His mother, when became of age, was told to him to have been a spirited woman. Always keeping her faith in God, and living her life according to his plans, she was a parishioner of the local Cathedral. Her romantic life was not something commonly known, yet she gave birth to a child. Giving birth to him, however, she had died; Michael was sent to the orphanage.
He didn't stay in the orphanage for too long, however. By the time he was 9, he was finally accepted into an adoptive family: The Angelos. As a child, Michael would grow up according to his adoptive family's lifestyle which just so happened to be that of any common family around the area: devoted Catholics. He took up a interest in art, and one day his teacher glanced at one of his pieces of work one day and said "Wow, Michael Angelo, you're a real Michaelangelo" and the nickname stuck. It never bothered him, however. The nickname was something that he accepted easily.
Many Catholic schools around the country have different times when they allow a young man or woman to take the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is the conferral of sanctifying grace and the strengthening of the union between individual souls and God. Little did Michael know, that his Confirmation would become so much more than that. On the day of his Confirmation, he was given the duty of The Archangel.
It was not through a burning bush, or a voice to his head, it was through an angel. The morning day of his Confirmation on Sunday, Michael was visited by the Angel of Prophecy: Bath Kol. The angel told Michael about the task of The Archangel, but the young man was so much in shock about it, that he believed it to be a dream. But the moment that Michael went up to the altar later that afternoon before The Bishop to complete his sacrament of Confirmation, he felt something change in him; but he did not quite understand what.
He goes on, living life to pursue his passion for painting in hope to become a famous artist. Little does he know someone called God is going to have a different plan for him that is going to intervene with his daily life.

Power Level (Select one below):
3. World Level (Ex. Flash, Superman)
4. Cosmic (Ex. Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)
(Sundays only)
Powers (Be Specific):
He is blessed by the Archangels of God's heavenly domain. On each day, he receives a different blessing (passive powers). He gains the wisdom of the Archangels in helping people in the situations each Archangel specializes in. He does not necessarily have to help someone in a situation fitting what each Archangel does best, but it most certainly helps his chances of affecting that person's life for the better.
He also carries a sword, but by default looks like just the hilt of a sword (for there is no blade). Unless defending the innocent, excluding his own life, his Angel-Fire sword shall not light up at all (when lit up, looks like a white-fiery blade).
He can tap into what is called The Archangel state. In this state, a flash of light comes down from the heavens, transforming him. Angel-Fire wings sprout from his back (looks like white fiery wings), allowing him flight. Also, when in this state, he can tap into his power over the elements (active powers) depending on the day because it depends on which Archangel.
His power over the elements are his "active powers". These abilities coincide with the Element of each Archangel. On certain days, depending on the Archangel, he can manipulate the elements of each Archangel, so long as that said element is in his presence. The elements can only be used in self defense and while in The Archangel state, except for water if the purpose is to heal the wounded.
However, on Tuesdays he is entirely powerless. While he is powerless he is not excused from serving God's will. He must still serve him, and as a man, and help affect someone's life for the better. This day of the week is when he is truly his own hero. Although this also makes him at his weakest and most vulnerable state.
On Sundays, he is at his most powerful.
The Archangels whom he is blessed by are the following:
Gabriel

Guards this day - Friday
Element - Earth and air
Call on Ariel if you are in need of support to continue your life's journey or in need of confidence to stand up for your beliefs. If you are suffering from low energy and with the energy of the sun she will recharge you.

Weaknesses (If your stats chosen are deemed powerful enough by a Game Master with no weakness, the character will fall under rules of Level 3 and 4 characters. Even with a weakness, a Game Master may rule it as a Level 3 or 4 character):
He is completely normal and powerless on Tuesdays. On this day, he shall receive no help from the Archangels. Other than that, even when he is empowered by the Archangels, he isn't necessarily invincible. Powerful, yes he may be, but he is no more durable than a human when it comes to his body. The reason he must change and affect someone's life for the better each day is that if he fails, he loses his abilities as The Archangel. If he dies while in The Archangel state, grave consequences are to come (more about this will be revealed throughout the story; cannot spoil it yet).
Supporting Characters (Does your character have a significant other? A mother? Friend? Who are they, what do they have to do with your character?):
Grace - Girlfriend. Their relationship is kind of on the rocks, not only because he tries to put God first in his life, essentially he must. She has trouble understanding this, but Michael cannot reveal God's plan for him to the woman he loves.
Father Damian - Priest at the local Cathedral. Frequently helps Michael when he goes into the Church, feeling lost. He is also going to be Michael's mentor as he tries to understand his role as The Archangel.
Bath Kol - He is the Angel of Prophecy who had helped guide Michael in ways Father Damian cannot or will not know how to.
List a few reasons why you've created that character:
I originally wanted to make a healer type of character, so immediately thought of an angel like character. When it came down to really thinking about it, I decided I wanted a character who was blessed by the angels. When I went around trying to find information, I stumbled upon information about Archangels, and I knew this is what I wanted to work with. I happen to be Catholic, and the idea of a hero like this appeals to me. And also because I am Catholic, I figure I can portray and define who he is well. I figured it would be interesting, because I was pretty confident that a character such as this would never be brought up or introduced.
What can you bring to the RPG?:
A continuance to his story. Sadly at the start of this season I was unable to continue. But luckily at the same time, I can start now and infer that Michael's been continuing his training so I can do some different things since I've slowly had him understand what has been bestowed upon him. Hopefully this season he will look more like a superhero.
Plus, he has a new suit now.
