RP Profile: Jack Kariel
By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: March 17, 2020, 4:07 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh... My mouth is gonna get me killed one of these days..." -
Jack Kariel to someone he insulted when the Jack Kariel turned
and confronted him for his insult.
"Let go of fear? Listen, man. I don't have fear... I have anger
issues." - Jack Kariel to someone who told him to let go of his
fear
"Wow... You throw like a little girl." - Jack Kariel to someone
who tried to throw something at him in a bar.
"Well, you're not as much of a wimp as I thought!" - Jack Kariel
to someone who stood up to him.
"Well damn... Jack says, jealous as he watches Lei Sheng
manipulate metal using her metal bending arts. Her metal powers
are cooler than mine!" - Jack Kariel when he was training with
Lei Sheng.
"This is the land of the rising sun. Your desecration shall not
be allowed. Hear me. I am the angel, Kariel. I lay thee waste
with the holy blade and expel thy vast defilement." - Jack using
an incantation to fuse magic into his sword sword.
"You want a good motorcycle? Don't buy any of the ones here.
They're all junk with intentional design flaws. Hell, I could
build you a better one myself. Why do you think they can afford
to sell them so cheap? He sighs. The boss won't be happy about
it, but I can't let someone buy sh*tty work like this in good
conscious. I love good bikes too much." - Jack Kariel to someone
while he was at a motorcycle shop he worked at.
"My mom was a human and my dad was a human turned angel... So
yeah. I'm more human than angel. And I'm damn proud of it!"
"Hey. I've been in fighting rings a long time. The ones like
you, the ones with something to prove, they get hurt the worst,
or worse. Hell, I've almost killed a few people like you during
my time in the ring. They don't last long. You want to prove
you're not afraid, then I'm sure you can find a better way." -
Jack Kariel to someone who wanted to prove they weren't afraid
of a fight and get into a fighting ring.
During a fight, Jack was fighting a group of enemies as a
distraction as part of a plan to let his allies help a group of
people get away.
Enemy Commander: You're going to die... He says with a laugh and
then snaps his own neck.
Jack: Wait... What? He says, confused as to what happened.
Immediately, a wave of energy is sent from the enemy commander
as he falls to the ground, and all of the enemies in the area
almost instantly surround him once they sense the wave.
Jack: Okay... He says as he looks around. I think this plan has
gone a LITTLE awry...
During a conversation with someone who's bike he was fixing.
Jack: Yeah... Your bike needs a new carburetor.
Person: I thought you said it still had some fire left? He says
confused.
Jack: No... You don't understand... I wasn't saying it could
live longer. I was saying your carburetor was LITERALLY shooting
fire at me... Like a goddamn dragon.
During a fight with a monster with tentacles and Jack was
cutting off tentacles and an ally was trying to contact him.
Ally: Where are you?
Jack: De-tentacling a monster. How about you?
Ally: That's not a word! You can't just make up words. So get
over here and help me out!
Jack: Not until I de-tentacle this monster.
Ally: Okay... Now you're just trying to annoy me...
Jack: You think too small, man. I'm ALWAYS trying to annoy
EVERYONE. He says sarcastically.
During an encounter with Black Sun who tried to recruit him.
Black Sun Member: You should join us. Having powerful allies can
help take away the pain of being alone.
Jack: So does a bullet to the brain, but you don't see me
reaching for a gun! He says with a sigh.
Black Sun Member: Yeah... I'm sorta glad you won't join. I'd
have had you shot by now. He says with a glare.
Jack: If I worked for you, I'd shoot MYSELF. He says
sarcastically.
When Jack was meditating with the Japanese deity, Raiden, and
his friend came in.
Friend: What are you doing?
Jack: Meditation... Yoga... He shrugs. I don't f*cking know...
It could be a rain dance for all I care. He says with a sigh.
Raiden: I'm trying to align Kariel's chakras.
Jack: I didn't even know the damn things were out of whack... He
says sarcastically.
During an incident when Jack Kariel was ambushed by someone he
beat in the fighting ring after insulting him. After the fights,
Jack Kariel was ambushed by the person he beat and pinned to the
ground, while getting punched by the person he beat.
Enemy: So... Am I weak now?!
Jack: You couldn't beat me one on one, so you ambushed me and
made it so I couldn't fight back? You're weak all over the
place. He says sarcastically.
Enemy: You have five seconds to take that back before I mess up
your face even worse!
Jack: Okay... Let me rephrase that... You're a chicken ****! He
says sarcastically again. But... I will give you some credit...
You came alone to fight me instead of bringing a gang with you
like most chicken shits I've met. So you're not AS cowardly as I
thought... Just a bit cowardly.
During a fight, Jack was trying to beat an opponent, and took
out his quarter. He fires the quarter like a bullet and slices
the enemy in half. After the enemy tries to get up but failing
as his regeneration slowly kicked in, and looks at him with
anger, Jack just smiles and shrugs.
Jack: Talk about being "half" the man you used to be... He says
jokingly.
From the distance. Friend: LAAAAAAME! He yells at Jack's pun.
Jack: HEY, screw you! That was funny! He yells back at his
friend.
When Jack was working with another nephilim to escape Erena.
Nephilim: Alright... So we split up. She can only chase one of
us. I'll lead her away by using angel radio to catch her
attention.
Jack: Okay... Or we could come up with a GOOD plan that DOESN'T
involve one of us dying? He says sarcastically. Seriously...
Have you ever heard of the "Splitting up gets the group killed"
cliche?
Nephilim: Then what's YOUR plan, Mr. Genius?! He says somewhat
angrily.
Jack: We do this the easy way and take refuge in a pantheon that
the angels have no jurisdiction in. Preferrably somewhere
protected by someone powerful... One that Sariel wouldn't want
to fight.
Nephilim: Wait... Are you suggesting we join Anubis? He's the
only god powerful enough that Sariel has avoided...
Jack: Facepalms. Goddamnit... NO! That's worse than dying,
dumbass! We go to a place like the Vampire Theater. We stay
there until Erena and Sariel lose interest in us. Daniel
Darkfire is neutral in pretty much every conflict, and he has
other angels there who can help us if a fight breaks out. I
heard once that Daniel even stood up to Sariel by himself.
During a fight with an enemy.
Enemy: Do you say you're sorry yet?!
Jack gets up after being hit, and smiles.
Jack: I don't apologize for jack ****! He says proudly. Heh...
"Jack" ****... He says, chuckling at his unintentional pun.
The enemy hits him again, knocking him down.
Enemy: You're gonna regret that stubborn pride! He says angrily.
Jack: Yeah... You're probably right... He says with a sigh as he
gets up again.
Jack, in the fighting ring, was listening to music with ear buds
in his hears. After winning, he starts dancing in victory.
Jack: SPEEEEEED DEMON!~ He sings "Speed Demon" by Keel as he
dances.
Opponent: You look stupid. He says on the ground weakly.
Jack continues dancing in victory.
Opponent: Hey! Can you even hear me? He says to Jack.
Jack takes his ear buds out and looks to the opponent.
Jack: I'm sorry... You say something?
Opponent: You're part angel right? Do you hear that song you're
singing?
Jack: Sighs Yes... I'm part angel. And no... The irony of an
angel singing a song about being a type of demon is not lost on
me... He says sarcastically.
When Jack came to someone's rescue and the two stood ready to
fight their enemies.
Ally: I thought you didn't like playing the "hero"?
Jack: Doesn't mean I don't know how. He says coyly.
Ally: So... 50 of them vs 2 of us?
The men start to move to attack until Jack holds out his hand.
Jack: Hold on... I got just the thing for this. He says as he
takes out his phone and starts playing "Kung Fu Fighting."
There. Perfect. He says with a smile.
Ally: I hate you so much... He says to Jack with a sigh.
During a fight with an enemy who could destroy objects knowing
their chemical composition and the enemy failed to destroy his
sword.
Enemy: Your sword... Why can't I destroy it?!
Jack: I figured out your little trick... You instinctively
figure out an object's physical structure and exploit it... So
I've been changing the metal my sword is made of to keep you
guessing... He sighs and holds his sword, looking at cracks in
it. Unfortunately, I can't do this for much longer... Some of
these metals have different physical properties and it's messing
up the sword... So I'm gonna have to end this soon.
"He is known as 'Shining Blue' in the fighting rings. Mostly
because fighters only ever saw the blue glow in his eyes before
he knocked them to the ground. He can fight with magic, but his
best strength is simple physical combat. He's young, but he's a
very experienced fighter. He's been fighting for his life in the
ring since he was 7 years old." - Lei Sheng about Jack and his
fighting style after she had met Jack in a fighting arena
Name: Jack Kylen Kariel
Alias: "Shining Blue" Kariel
Age: 22-ish (But looks 16 due to being short and thin)
Species: Human/Grand Priest Angel Hybrid with reincarnated
Shinto Deity power
Gender: Male
Hunter Group/Team: None (Yet)
Weapons:
- Holy Sword: Eternal Harmony: This sword belonged to Jack's
mother, a supernatural hunter. This sword is what Jack often
uses in his supernatural hunting when he's fighting certain
kinds of supernaturals. This sword is a power sword that
channels Jack's supernatural hunter magic from his mother's side
of the family and allows Jack to use the sword's unique ice
magic. Since Jack was not born with ice power, this is the only
source of ice power that he has, where only by using this sword
can he generate ice attacks. As one might have guessed, the
purpose of this sword is to kill supernaturals, whether they be
deity or normal supernaturals using the sword's magic and it's
ice abilities that Jack's mother possessed. By using the
supernatural hunter magic, this sword is able to be tuned
through incantation to slay certain kinds of creature. For
example, if the sword is specified towards demons, then the
sword will become a demon slayer sword, but against any other
creature this will act like a normal sword (with exception of
the ice power). As such, this can be used to tune to almost any
kind of creature, but can only be tuned to one creature at a
time. This is useful in one on one fights, but not so great
against groups. When stabbed by this sword, those who to whom it
has been tuned against will find that this sword will negate the
regeneration and powers temporarily if the blade makes contact
with the body. This means that this sword, when used properly,
can kill many kinds of supernaturals. However, Jack does have to
know what he's fighting to use this power effectively, and he
has to have an incantation that he can use, to which his
mother's family doesn't always have every supernatural creature
incantation for magic (IE Jack wouldn't be able to tune his
sword to something like an ascended being, or the The'Galin
since he has no incantation to tune his sword to that kind of
creature). And because this magic requires preparation, Jack has
to prepare incantations ahead of time, and this takes fair
concentration and time to do, so it's something Jack can't do in
the middle of a battle.
- Angel Blade (For any angel that's not an archangel): This is a
standard angel blade most normal angels and fallen angels carry.
This blade is designed to kill demons, but can also kill angels
and fallen angels as well due to certain similarities in
physiology between demons, fallen angels, and angels. When faced
with certain creatures that are of angelic or demonic power,
this works on these types of creatures as well. When used on
creatures affected by it, it temporarily negates regeneration of
the creature, specifically working best against angel, fallen
angel, and demon regeneration. This also applies to other
creatures that use such regeneration such as demonic vampires
who use demonic regeneration or holy vampires who have more
angelic power. This weapon is very useful, made out of heavenly
silver. Even against creatures that it doesn't negate
regeneration form, it's still made out of a material that acts
like blessed silver, still being useful against creatures like
vampires and those creatures with unholy or demonic type
natures. This is usually a primary weapon for angels that don't
have their own special holy weapon, being used by angels, grand
priest angels and even other types of angels like seraphim and
cupids.
- Silver Coins and Golden Coin: Usually in his pockets, Jack has
a few special blessed silver coins and a special golden coin he
can use in battle. These silver coins are made of enhanced
silver, with one being a special celestial silver coin his
father used to use. These coins, including his father's golden
coin, are typically pretty special to him, and he will save
these if he can to not use. Usually, he mostly just flips his
father's coin out of battle, usually just flipping it, catching
the coin, and then flipping it again. However, if used in
battle, Jack can not only use these coins as projectile weapons,
but he can even reshape them if he chooses into any shape he
desires. Because these are blessed silver coins, these coins do
holy damage to opponents and can be used to burn through unholy
energies or demonic presences with holy power. Jack is able to
throw these like frisbees, or just flick them at opponents,
usually depending on how he wants to attack. Jack has been able
to flick these with the force of bullets, or he can toss these
with enough force to slice right through someone using his
metal magic manipulation to enhance his coin's trajectory. These
coins are usually just normal silver coins when not being used
with magic, and don't have any other properties other than being
blessed silver without Jack's holy metal magic. Jack rarely ever
uses his father's coin, and usually only flips it in his hand
when he's bored, or showing off his family heritage.
- Ionized Iron Dust Pouches: In special pouches, Jack has
special iron dust he keeps on him as an extra trump card to use
in battle. This dust is kept in a special pouch which keeps the
dust electrically charged. Since Jack can't use lightning on his
own, he uses this to keep his iron dust in his pouch electrified
so that he can electrocute opponents his iron dust comes into
contact with when he controls the iron dust. This is ordinary
iron dust, in which Jack can control the dust to take almost any
form he desires. Usually, he turns the dust into iron orbs or
iron disks, depending on what Jack wants to do. Typically, he
uses it as 3 medium sized iron orbs that he can throw like
bullets, or he will make a disc that he can throw like a blade
to try and cut through people. This dust can take a variety of
forms, and is designed to be used against tougher opponents. The
ionized dust/electrical charge allows the dust to also
electrocute opponents, making this a two stage attack when
opponents are hit by it. However, because Jack is also
vulnerable to electricity, he cannot touch the iron dust himself
without special insulator gloves, and these orbs can be turned
against him if an opponent can cancel his control of the iron
dust and take control from him (which is rare, but it can
happen).
Grand Priest Angel Abilities:
- Mark of God: Not many are aware of the main use of the god
mark, in which those who are granted this mark are usually
granted enhanced holy power, and can reincarnate as a grand
priest angel when they die as humans. For the most part, this
mark acts as an amplifier of the user's holy abilities when they
are mortal, in which it promotes the use of holy type abilities
by weakening dark abilities. Over time, the user develops more
holy abilities, and eventually phases out their dark abilities
until at one point the person will become a pure holy user. For
the most part, the users who have this mark are usually unaware
of it's importance, as the importance isn't usually revealed
until after they die and an angel explains to them that they're
chosen to become a grand priest angel. After the user dies and
they trigger the power of this, their souls are reincarnated as
grand priest angels, and they become full angels as the mark
changes their natures and molds them into an angelic being. This
mark acts as the power that creates a grand priest angel, and
this mark also acts as a marker to track those that are slated
to become grand priest angels, so that they can be monitored by
Heaven. For each user, the mark is a different shape depending
on the user, but all marks have the same general holy energy
generating from them that changes a person over time when their
holy powers develop. This can also be inherited by children of
grand priest angels, in which they inherit their parent's mark
as well. Usually, this has to be given by another grand priest
angel, usually with the approval of heaven. And due to this mark
phasing out dark and demonic abilities, users of this mark may
become more vulnerable to darkness and demonic abilities as a
result, mostly due to the person becoming more angelic in power
as they develop their powers.
- Grand Priest Angelic Mark Bestowal (Locked): Those who become
grand priest angels are eventually sent down to earth, where
they are usually sent to build faith in mortals, and find new
people to be recruited. If a grand priest finds someone who is a
good recruit, they are able to place an angelic mark similar to
the ones they have. When the person marked is mortal, the mark
takes the form of the person who granted the mark, in which
their mark is left on the person until they become a grand
priest angel and the mark take their own unique shape. This is
partially so Heaven can track who is marking which people, just
in case they desire more information or someone makes a bad
recruitment decision so they know who is responsible. For the
most part, this ability is often only usuable with Heaven's
permission, where a grand priest angel will often use this after
consulting a higher authority, usually an archangel, in order to
get permission. Grand priest angels can do this without
permission, but may face consequences if they end up making a
bad choice, as some have tried to recruit people and then things
go south when the person ends up not being a good person, or
some people having tried to recruit demonic presences by
mistake. Usually, angels use other angels who know more about
the person before they decide fully in order to avoid issues.
For Jack, he is a child of a grand priest angel, but he cannot
create new grand priest angels unless someone in Heaven were to
unlock the ability, which would require them acknowledging him
as a servant of heaven. As such, Jack is unlikely ever going to
unlock this power due to him mostly living by his own standards
and not by Heaven's, as well as not being able to join Heaven
unless he were to play by Alternate Michael's rules which Jack
would never do.
- Angel Divine Aura: Angels have incredible holy aura, as they
radiate in their angel forms with divine energy, which is
enhanced by the angelic presence. This aura not only shows an
angel's power, but also acts as an defense, strengthening their
bodies so that they take less damage. Depending on the kind of
angel, normal angels have strong aura, with the next step up
usually being grand priest angels, and the highest level being
archangels. Other angels can also make the list, like seraphim
or other angel types, though depending on the individual, most
other angel types can very on where they place in the list of
angelic power. In most angel's angelic power, this aura isn't
visible, and acts like a passive defense, and radiates from
their spirit that allows angels to give off a presence of pure
light which is usually visible to those with a sixth sense for
sensing the presence of other beings. Since this form is based
in angelic power rather than elemental power like some auras,
this aura relies on the divine energy an angel generates to
power it. Typically, archangels are the ones with the strongest
holy power, and an archangel's aura is typical more powerful
than any other kind of angel in heaven. While strong though,
demonic and dark weapons and powers can more easily pierce this
aura, as one might expect, as can aura breaker weapons and
powers.
- Enhanced Holy Energy/Celestial Force: Having angel power,
angels have advanced holy energy and higher level angels also
have celestial force (or some might have other higher level
divine energies to use in battle), which is enhanced by their
angelic power. Their enhanced holy energy is holy energy
enhanced by their angel power, which does more damage than
normal holy energy. This is a natural holy energy to some
angel's power, as it replaces normal holy energy angels use.
Higher level angels and a lot of angelic hybrids can also use
celestial force, the highest level holy energy that some
archangels and nephilim developed to fight demon princes and
high level demonic entities, in which celestial force is an
amplification using positive spirit energy to amp holy energy.
The normal enhanced holy energy does less damage, but costs less
power to use, while the celestial force is far stronger, but
costs more power to use. This requires the user to manage their
power, using holy energy against weaker opponents and saving
celestial force for more dangerous opponents. Most angels are
trained in holy energy and have advanced holy energy, but only
high level angels or some hybrids are trained and can use
celestial force. This force is often best utilized in nephilims,
as certain angel hybrids learned to use this far more
effectively using less power since angel hybrids can more easily
create this power with stronger soul energy compared to angels.
Some angels have even developed other divine energies depending
on their power set (usually archangels who develop their own
types of powers)
- Enhanced Holy Light: Some angels also have enhanced holy light
manipulation, in which they can use this holy light to attack
opponents. These angels that use this have learned to tap into
the light of their angelic light-based nature to manipulate
light around them using their power. This holy light is light
drawn from around them, fused with the angelic power of their
light-based nature to create a powerful holy light. This light
is very strong, and designed to be able to be used to battle
demon's unholy darkness or a fallen angel's corrupted elements.
This light is much stronger than typical light manipulation,
being fused with holy energy. When used, this light can do
things like generating light spears, firing concentrated light
beams, and even be used to destroy demonic presences with it's
holy power. Some advanced users of holy light can even
manipulation visible light to create illusions, and some are
even able to use light to control light-based lightning (normal
lightning that gives off light, not special lightnings like dark
lightning and heat lightning). As a result, this light
manipulation is very useful for angels, with some angels even
having higher level light abilities or using specific light
abilities, like Sariel who uses the power of moon light and
Raphael who uses the power of sun light. Some more powerful
advanced light users have even tapped into primordial light as a
type of light they can draw from as well. This light is
countered best by darkness abilities, and stronger darkness
abilities like unholy darkness can counter the holy element of
this light ability.
- Grand Priest Celestial Magic: Humans who are turned into grand
priest angels or inherited power from a grand priest angel have
their own unique type of magic that the grand priest angels
developed. Instead of normal holy power, their magic runs on
their celestial force, which acts similarly to holy power but is
much stronger. As a result, their magic essentially acts as a
higher level holy magic, in which they can even hurt or kill
those with high level demonic powers using this magic. This
magic works slightly different in how it affects people, but the
magic still operates the same way. For the most part, most
angels magics are broken down into 3 basic major categories:
holy elemental, holy defense/healing, or holy attack magic with
occasional alternate types depending on the person's magic
abilities. Each has it's own abilities and advantages, as well
as disadvantages. For the most part, most angels only have up to
2 different types with very few angels having all 3. There are
other types of magic which humans could have had when human that
convert to angelic magic, but the three are the main ones grand
priests gain if they had no special magic abilities in their
mortal life. When a grand priest angel is formed, all of their
magic abilities are converted to this celestial magic, and any
"dark" abilities are converted when they change. Those wanting
to counter can still counter this as normal, except that this
magic does more damage than normal holy magic, and has a few
other uses than just holy power depending on the magic user.
This magic, though, can still be negated through magic negation,
and magic immunities still work against this magic. Jack
possesses only one type of magic: Elemental magic, in which he
gained metal manipulation from his father, which was his
father's specialty. Other than his elemental magic, he only has
basic healing abilities, and in terms of attack, mostly focuses
on physical combat due to his time spent in fighting rings.
- Divine Smite: With angel power, all angels have enhanced
smiting abilities which is often mistaken for divine lightning.
The first is when they put their hands on others, and purify
unholy presences, being able to destroy things like demons
possessing a body. This ability is set up so that an angel can
attack presences in people through physical contact. Some refer
to this as "purification" but the angels usually refer to it as
"smiting" as their purification is actually different. This is
an attack skill designed to destroy a presence inside of others,
usually to cast demons out of humans. When used through physical
contact, the angel is able to exorcise a presence or burn the
presence completely out of someone. Exorcising takes less time,
but doesn't hurt the presence in the body which is usually the
safer option for most angels so they don't kill the host.
However, the second option can burn the presence usually by
overpowering it with their own nature, and burn the presence out
of them. Not only does this take longer to do, but this also is
a big danger to the host, as the host can actually be killed
with this ability. This ability is typically better to use for
exorcisms, since most angels are usually trying to save people
from presences when using this power. This time it takes to
destroy a presence or exorcise it also depends on the creature,
it's strength and the type of angel. Certain creatures take much
longer or some creatures like leviathans can't be cast out by
normal angels. It's also important to note that angels take
longer to cast out presences than archangels do, who can do this
a bit faster than normal angels can.
- Divine Lightning: This ability is often called divine
lightning despite not being true lightning. In this ability,
angels are able to fire blasts of angelic energy with a
current-like nature, which acts similar to electricity
manipulation, but is actually holy energy. Usually, this is
designed to damage opponents, blasting opponents with holy
energy that can do damage as the current runs through their
bodies. This ability is also very useful in trying to break
through warding, in which normal angels came up with a way to
use this to burn through wording by using this as a group.
Angels usually best use this ability in a group, where they
attack stronger enemies with power beyond them as individuals.
They can also blast opponents with this, with it doing holy
energy damage, and works very well against weakening demons.
Angels can also use this in groups from above, firing this blast
down on an opponent like a lightning strike as well. Typically
when used from above, groups of angels will get together and
blast strong enemies as a group, since it does more damage with
them amplifying each other's power using this. Archangels also
have a much stronger version of this, where they are able to
blast with much more impact force, and do more damage to
opponents with this than normal angels can. This power is a
fairly basic energy manipulation of an angel's holy energy, but
is still block able by strong enough weapons, shields and
armors. Strong enough energies can also counter this energy
(though one has to account for the strength of the angel/angels,
and know that archangels are much more powerful in how they use
this).
- Angelic Possession: Typically angels fall into one of two
categories when they come to earth in how they choose to
interact with mortals. The first are the more spiritual angels
that are typically not visible to people without special senses,
and these angels typically tend to possess humans in order to
interact with the world. Unlike demons who forcefully possess
people, angels have to get permission from the host before they
are allowed to possess them. Most angelic possessions are a sort
of union of minds and usually involve the person they're
possessing working together with the angel possessing them. This
can be very beneficial, and the longer the angel and being are
together could result in the angel and being actually melding
together and gaining some of each other's powers if they're
together for long enough. This is a very useful method for
angels, since they typically don't have to worry as much about
mortal resistance in the mind like demons do, making their
possessions easier. There are angels who trick humans into
possessing them though, and angels can suppress resistant minds,
but ultimately, most angels are only able to stay in a body as
long as the person is willing, and once the person possessed
rejects them, they typically are able to push them out much more
easily than demonic possession. However, one thing to note is
that stronger angels are more suppressive with their natures,
suppressing the minds of those they possess, whether
intentionally or not. Of course, this can be misused by angels,
in which they can manipulate mortals they possess if they choose
to, but this is actually designed to be a mutually beneficial
type of possession with the being possessed and angel working
together.
- Angelic Shapeshift: Some angels who are more physical beings
don't actually need to possess people, in which some angels are
able to simply shapeshift into creatures that they want to take
the forms of, even being able to take unique forms based on what
they want to do. They can not only change their shape, but
disguise their presence as well, often appearing as whatever
creature they're trying to imitate. Usually, most angels appear
completely human when using this, in which they choose this
method to blend in with others to not stand out. This is very
useful since it means the angel is able to just take the form
they want rather than trying to find a vessel like more
spiritual angels. This allows them to take any race's form they
desire, with some of them even gaining physical properties of
the race they're taking, such as imitating a werewolf and
gaining a wolf-like appearance with claws and teeth. However,
this only replicates physical traits, and doesn't allow for
gaining new supernatural abilities. However, there are some
angels that do have specific shapeshift abilities, such as Erena
having a form copy power to copy powers, or some angels gaining
power from certain transformations, but theses are usually
unique depending on the angel. Most angels who use this only use
this to change form, with some using this to manipulate their
physical bodies and giving themselves more attack options such
as taking a form with claws to allow the angel to attack using
the claws. However, overall, they are still angel, and can still
be attacked the same way as normal angels, unless it is a
special transformation ability they possess.
- Angel Healing, Purification, and Restoration: All angels have
healing powers, as well as restoration abilities they can use on
others. The main ability is being able to heal others, being
able to heal things like injuries, and heal things like
afflictions caused by supernatural abilities (like unholy energy
poisoning). Angels are able to use this to also purify the
presences from others, being able to purify things like unwanted
presences in the body, and being able to remove afflictions from
the user as needed. Usually, their powers of healing and
purification are pretty useful for allies, and can even be used
on themselves to a degree since they are able to purify and heal
themselves if they find themselves in a place where they can't
heal as easily. Their last power is that of restoration, where
they can restore people and objects. Angels are able to restore
not only people, but broken objects as well depending on the
object. This typically helps with things like trying to restore
objects they need, or restoring broken weapons and armors. These
abilities typically come from an angel's nature, in which they
have a natural restorative power they are able to use that is
powered by their holy energy. This is an ability designed mostly
for healing and restoration, and this has no real attack ability
in battle, other than an angel healing themselves. Archangels
also have much more powerful healing abilities and can
heal/restore much faster than normal angels due to their
enhanced holy power and them being much more powerful than
normal angels.
- Angelic Resurrection: If someone dies, an angel is able to
bring them back to life. Angelic resurrection is able to bring
the dead back to life, which is usually much more difficult than
most other beings. Thanks to their status in Heaven, they are
usually able to resurrect anyone they desire to. However, there
are some things to note with this. The first is that they must
have the body and the soul of the person they are trying to
bring back. They can bring someone back with just the body, but
that can be a double edged sword since bringing someone back
without a soul can leave them in a state of being unable to feel
emotions, and they usually end up becoming problems later.
Usually, they can bring souls from heaven pretty easily, but
taking souls from hell is much more difficult, since certain
people having been brought back have required angels going to
hell and pulling the soul out, which can be dangerous especially
if the demons there don't want the soul to be taken from hell.
For the most part, this is only done in rare circumstances,
usually requiring a heavenly decree, or requiring the permission
of either Death or Toranoraos (usually both) before angels will
even attempt to do this. This also takes a great amount of
energy from an angel, and even an archangel can use up a lot of
power to do this. However, when used, this is typically much
more dependable than using techniques like black magic
resurrection since angelic resurrection usually doesn't have any
negative side effects other than the angel using a lot of their
power to do this. The recoil effects like taking a piece of
someone don't happen with angelic resurrection like they
typically do with black magic resurrections, and the only real
side effects the person brought back might face is if they are
brought back without a soul or scarred by what they experienced
in the afterlife (usually when being brought back from hell).
- Angelic Holy Ally Amplification: Angels are able to amplify
those that ally with them, in which they are able to strengthen
their allies in other beings (typically empowering humans). The
most common use of this is when an angel empowers a human, and
the human becomes much harder to damage, and does more damage to
opponents. Some angels have been able to also grant specific
other defenses to others, such as some angels granting defense
against certain abilities, like using this power to help protect
them from flames or lightning powers to a degree. This usually
depends on the angel and their abilities, as every angel
typically has some unique way to amplify someone, whether it's
granting them temporary immunity to flames, granting them
regenerative abilities, or even some who can make someone's skin
hard enough to resist bullets. This amplification doesn't
typically work on other angels, and typically works best when
they are allied alongside humans who work with them. This was
originally designed for guardian angels who developed this power
in order to help protect the people they would guard from harm,
or help grant them special defense to certain things. As a
result, this power is designed not for an angel, but for the
beings an angel would protect and/or guide. This power can also
usually be countered by stronger opponents, with some having
stronger abilities, and things like demonic energy or primordial
power can easily break this amplification and do damage, being a
counter power. The angel can also only strengthen a person with
as much power as they have, so they can't empower a person
beyond their own abilities, such as a normal angel couldn't make
someone strong enough to take on an archangel or demon prince
with their amplification alone. As one might expect, the power
of the angel using this determines the power given by this
ability, for better or for worse.
- Angelic Enochian Warding: Angels are able to wards on people
and places, with this being another power that lets them counter
things like demonic possession. Usually, angels do this, they
are able to use their power to burn wards and sigils on surfaces
in order to ward them. They are able to do things like warding
against demons, in which they would be able to use this to keep
demons from entering an area they don't want demons in, or they
could use this to even ward against angels or fallen angels
depending on what the wards used. When used on people, angels
can do this a few different ways, with them mostly being used
the same way. By putting wards on people, angels can ward others
against things like possession, ward humans with special
Enochian sigils to grant them special effects, or even making a
person untraceable by heaven and hell. Usually, angels can do
this by either burning the ward/sigil onto a person's skin, or
they can burn these into someone's bones outside of physical
view. These wards are pretty useful, and only those that know
Enochian can use counter sigils to remove these, and
angels/demons that can remove these have to know they're there
and where they are on the body. Typically, this is much more
advanced types of warding than typical warding, and use special
Enochian sigils to create powerful wards against a multitude of
threats. However, strong enough counters can counter these, like
a powerful enough demon or demon group could break a warding on
an area, or warding against possession might not work in certain
circumstances if the opponent is stronger than the ward. This
also typically only works on specific circumstances, such as
demon wards only working against demons, and angel wards only
working against angels.
- Enochian Exorcisms: Angels are normally able to send demons
back to hell using their smiting power, however, sometimes this
isn't enough, or an angel might not want to save their power. By
using Enochian exorcisms designed for angels, angels are able to
exorcise presences using Enochian chants. This is useful for
removing unwanted presences, with this originally being used to
counter demonic possession and possession by fallen angels. This
is usually designed to be used alongside their smiting power, in
which they use both to save the amount of power they need to
exorcise a presence, and can be used to do things like casting
out demonic possessions, and even can be used to cast out fallen
angel possessions. However, certain stronger presences might
require special exorcisms or might even be immune to exorcisms
(like demon princes or some more powerful archangels). For the
most part, this is also good to use because it can free those
possessed without hurting them, as the exorcism sends the
presence somewhere depending on the presence (like demons being
sent back to hell). For the most part tough, this doesn't stop
the presence from coming back, as there's usually nothing to
stop presences from coming back (like demons being able to
eventually return from hell). Usually, this is best used to free
someone from possession, then put wards on them so they cannot
be possessed again.
- Angelic Sleeping Touch: This lets an angel put someone to
sleep by touching their forehead. Through physical contact, an
angel can shut down a being's conscious mind, which renders them
unconscious. This particular skill is very useful for knocking
out others that they don't want to fight, as it typically lets
them avoid combat with people that they'd rather not fight. This
ability also bypasses psychic protection, as it uses the angelic
presence to overwhelm the conscious mind. Advanced users of this
ability can even wipe short term memories, with archangels even
being able to wipe long-term memories from the mind for those
that they don't want to know certain things. Usually wiping the
mind is only used for those they don't want to know Heaven is
protecting them, so they use this to wipe the mind if the person
they are protecting sees them or makes it so they don't remember
anything bad happening to them. However, this doesn't work on
all races, as the angel must be more powerful than the person
they're trying to put to sleep, since this power requires
overwhelming the presence of someone else to use. For this
reason, typically angels are only able to use this on normal
humans or weaker supernaturals, and this doesn't work on anyone
as strong or stronger than them in terms of presence. This power
also requires physical touch for at least one round to put into
effect, so if the opponent breaks contact during that round,
they can avoid being put to sleep. Typically tough, this is only
used on innocent bystanders or those that aren't a part of a
battle, in order to keep them out of the fight.
- Angelic Teleportation/Space and Time Travel: This ability is
one that most angels share, in that almost all angels can
teleport. Not only can they teleport around, but they are able
to teleport to other realms as well, such as going back and
forth from heaven, earth and even going to the Veil where dead
spirits reside. They are even able to travel to hell, though
traveling to hell is typically dangerous to angels as they will
often be attacked by demons there if they do teleport there.
Some angels are even skilled enough that they can bend time and
travel through time either by themselves or with others. Due to
this, most angels are able to travel in some way through time
and space fairly easily. While traveling to certain places, like
traveling time, takes a lot of energy, most angels can use basic
teleportation to travel around as they desire. Some angels even
teleport differently, such as some might disappear in a burst of
light, or some might vanish, or some even leave flurries of
angelic feathers from their wings behind as they teleport away.
When used, the angel does have to know where they are going, or
else they might travel somewhere randomly and get lost. This is
especially important when traveling between realms like going
from heaven to earth, where they might get lost in between if
they don't know where they're going. However, most angels know
the path between heaven and earth, and aside from sometimes not
knowing where specific places are, they typically have no
problem traveling there if they know where they are going.
- Angelic Astral Projection/Dream-walking: Ever since ancient
times, angels have been able to use their spiritual like being
to go back and forth from manifesting as spirits. The main use
of this was to be able to appear in dreams, a power that angels
have used to convey messages to people chosen by heaven in the
past. Unlike most beings who separate their spirit, an angel is
able to turn into a spiritual being, in which they can enter the
astral plane and react with not only dreams, but can also
interact with dead spirits, and some intelligent spirits that
are not dead spirits. Angels are able to go to the Veil where
dead spirits are usually found, or the angel can attempt to go
to the Spirit Realm, which is a realm where natural spirits
reside, if they are able to perceive the spirits (Though this is
usually a dangerous trip requiring special training to get into
the spirit realm due to it's unique spirit perception required).
This lets users commune with the dead, and with spirits that can
be perceived. Of course, the biggest use for this is to interact
with spirits, but also if one is trying to interact with a dead
spirit, it is much easier to do so in astral projection than in
physical form. The other main use of this is going back and
forth from dreams, in which angels can also enter the dream
realm, though usually in a limited fashion where they can only
interact in dreams and cannot access the full dream realm or
create dreams like many dream demons can.
Shinto Deity Abilities:
- Shinto Deity Yaboku "God of Calamity" Reincarnation: Not known
to many, Yaboku is a deity that has mostly been forgotten in the
Japanese pantheon. It isn't known how he died or what events led
to his power being cast into reincarnation, but Jack ended up
becoming a shinto angel/demi-god thanks to this power he was
born with that he somehow gained. Yaboku, when he was alive, was
a god of calamity and war. It isn't clear if Jack inherited this
power from his father, but it is clear that he became the
reincarnation of a Shinto deity that isn't really known anymore.
Due to this, Jack gained the power of this Shinto deity, where
Jack has the power of this deity. Usually, he only uses certain
aspects of this power, but he has the powers of a Shinto deity,
as well as Yakobu's specific abilities as a deity. Typically,
this allows Jack to act as both an angel and a demi-god, making
him a somewhat unique case among nephilim. This also grants him
abilities most other nephilims don't have as well, like having
the power to gain power from the worship of others if they're
worshipping him as a Japanese deity (which he has no followers
currently, and Jack can even recieve offerings given to him as a
deity (Though currently he has no way to do this without a
shrine, which he doesn't yet have). However, Jack also has
powers partaining to starting wars and causing calamity,
something he doesn't like to do and actively tries to avoid
doing. Combined with his angelic abilities, Jack is a very
dangerous individual when he wants to be, which he has shown in
the past. However, his main problem currently as a deity is that
he is stuck between a positive and negative deity, and can use
both abilities. However, there is a cost to this, as using one
over the other can influence what he is, such as using positive
powers can make him a more positive natured deity, or using
negative powers can make him more negative natured. As he uses
one, he slowly loses the other, which can be a problem as he
will eventually have to chose one or the other and give up one
side of the positive and negative abilities.
- Shinto Kami Spirit Physiology: Shinto deity abilities are not
that of a normal god, as Shinto deities are not "gods", but
rather, Shinto deities are kami's, which some would call "nature
spirits." Kamis are not like normal deities, in which they are
more spiritual in nature and are more like spirits that govern
the world than actual gods. However, kamis are usually types of
creatures that reside over areas, spreading their influence into
the land, for better or worse. Depending on the Shinto spirit,
there are some that are evil and some that are good and that
influence depends mostly on the Shinto deity. A kami's presence
is usually best felt at shrines that are usually placed where
their influence is strongest, as it acts like a medium between
the living world and the realm of the Shinto spirits. Kamis are
godly spirits that reside over the land, often residing over
certain aspects and some can even gain empowerment from the
land. In Shinto religion, people pray and worship the kami, and
treat them like deities. While they still act like gods and have
godly abilities, they have slightly different physiologies than
typical gods. Kamis are able to appear before people if they
choose to, but most of the time they are a type of being that
resides on the spiritual plane. However, those with Shinto power
of spirits can gain the ability to move back and forth, and
there are demi-gods with kami abilities. For Jack, he is one of
these mortals with Kami abilities, and is an angelic demi-god of
the Shinto pantheon thanks to the unusual power he was born
with. Jack can switch between angel, human form and kami form,
in which his kami form is like that of a spirit. When in this
form, he is vulnerable to spirit corruption (which he can purify
with time and effort), and he is vulnerable to spirit-killing
weapons (not soul killing weapons, just weapons that can kill
natural spirits which isn't as hard as killing a soul).
Typically, kamis are more vulnerable to spiritual attacks than
mortals are, and spirit abilities do far more damage to kamis
due to their spiritual nature. This also means that kamis are
able to fight and destroy other kamis. Jack himself doesn't have
a shrine, so his influence is currently very limited on the
world. Right now, Jack is considered one of the lowest kami of
the Shinto pantheon, due to not having any real influence. This
also means that Jack doesn't have any real followers, as he's
trying to make his way to becoming a known god.
- Guardian of the Far Coast: Much like his father, Jack
unintentionally became the guardian of the Veil and the living
world, where he can exist on the same dimensional plane as the
living world and the Viel simultaneously, something that most
cannot do unless it is Death or certain deities of death. In
Jack's job, the Veil is known as the Far Coast, and the living
world is known as the Near Coast, due to how the Shinto pantheon
sees the Veil and living world. Because of this, his specialty
is astral projection and dreamwalking, where he is able to go
back and forth between the Veil and living world easily. In
addition, Jack is an expert in the creatures known as phantoms
that inhabit this area between life and death, and can access
the plane of spirits that certain spirit types like Vobu can
access, and knows how to deal with hollows which also are a
major problem. The purpose of this is because Jack ended up
inheriting his father's job, since he had to fight phantoms to
protect himself after they tried to kill him to get to his
father. The "phantoms" of the Far Coast are similar in nature to
the dark spirits of Vobu's pantheon, except they are made of
emotional energy. Jack is able to travel to and from that area,
thanks to his father's abilities and his shinto deity abilities.
This became part of his new job as a Shinto Deity, which
involved helping the Shinto pantheon guard humanity against
phantoms trying to corrupt humanity. As such, Jack is perhaps
one of the few experts of the Far Coast and its creatures, and
knows more than just about anyone thanks to not only his shinto
power, but his father's abilities. Jack usually spends time
destroying phantoms when it suits him.
- Shinto Deity Invisible Presence: Shinto deities, being more
spirit form deities than normal deities, have a more spiritual
presence. However, this isn't the only part of their presence
that's unusual, as their main ability as part of their presence
is actually their almost invisible presence. Due to their
presences being spiritual and not tied to the physical realm,
their presences are almost completely invisible to most, in
which most people will pass by a shinto deity without even
looking at them. When in the physical realm, shinto deities are
typically ignored and not noticed by mortals. As one deity put
it, in the physical realm, shinto deities presences are usually
compared to those things in a background that people never
notice, which allows most Shinto deities to do their work
without ever being noticed. Only those with ties to the realm of
death, or strong spiritual senses are able to even percieve them
without specifically looking for their presence. Typically, this
is how Shinto Deities are able to move around in the physical
world without everyone noticing them, and makes it hard for them
to develop ties to the living world. However, with enough
exposure to kamis and spirits, one can develop a tie to the
kamis to percieve them more easily, in addition to those with
spiritual senses being able to pierce shinto deities more
easily. Typically, this only affects Jack when he's in shinto
deity form, as he usually stays in human form since it's easier
to interact with people, which he prefers to interact with
people he helps rather than be invisible. However, he does use
this to help him when he's fighting phantoms or hollows, in
order to reduce influence on the living world while fighting a
phantom or hollow.
- Shinto Deity Enhanced Spiritual Power: All kamis, whether they
are full Shinto deities or simple nature spirits, all have an
enhanced spiritual power. This means that most Shinto deities
and kamis all have enhanced ability to use spiritual power, and
they possess a passive affinity for spiritual power. Typically,
this falls into one of two categories. There are positive gods
like gods of fortune (ones with good or positive natures), and
then there are negative gods like gods of calamity and gods of
misfortune. Depending on the type, they gain enhanced abilities
pertaining to their specific side of spiritual presence.
Positive gods typically focus more on spiritual healing,
guidance and purification, in which they are able to help others
depending on what they are a god of. The negative gods are
typically focused on killing, destruction, or even sometimes
bringing major natural disasters or wars to areas. Depending on
the god, they have intense spiritual power, and some gods'
enhanced spiritual presences can even influence entire areas if
they have a shrine to act as a focus point for their presence in
the living world. Typically, positive gods are known for
helping, and for having a positive influence on the world, while
negative gods are known for destroying what they want, unless
their presences are somehow satiated or sealed in a shrine.
However, because they are more spiritual, as mentioned before,
spiritual abilities do work more easily on them, and Shinto
deities can be destroyed by strong enough spiritual presences.
For Jack, he is the reincarnation of a god of calamity, but he
has tried to focus on being a deity that helps others, which has
made him a bit weaker as a deity as he is currently torn between
being a positive god and negative one. And since he has no
shrine, he has no real influence on the world. However, this
passive amplification of his spiritual abilities does help his
angelic powers immensely, which is mostly why he relies on this
enhanced spiritual power, since his angelic side is also more
spiritual.
- Shinto Deity Physical/Spiritual Manifestation/Astral
Planeswalking: Similar to other deities, Shinto deities are able
to move between planes and manifest themselves in either the
spiritual or physical plane. Typically, Shinto deities are far
more flexible in going back and forth, due to constantly having
to go back and forth between the physical and spiritual planes.
All Shinto deities and kamis are able to move and manifest
themselves on either the physical or spiritual plane. Typically,
most Shinto deities and kamis have their own ways of teleporting
or manifestation, but all have this ability in some form, where
they could appear as a mortal, or some may move back and forth
through portals or unique teleportation arts. Because of this,
Shinto deities are very familiar with the astral plane, and are
able to walk it as easily as other spiritual beings can. Shinto
deities usually have their own teleportation arts depending on
the deity or kami, in which they can usually teleport as part of
their deity or kami abilities. Typically, the two main
teleportations are either through portals or through simple
teleportation. Like most teleportations, the deity or kami does
have to know where they are going, and they can usually not
travel but only to certain areas. For deities, they can go back
and forth between the living realm, the Veil, and the spiritual
realms (including the Shinto afterlife realms of the Underworld
and the Plane of High Heaven). For Jack, he mostly relies on his
angelic power to teleport in bursts of light, and usually relies
on his teleportation through angelic power since it gives him
more ability to teleport around, though having Shinto deity
teleportation means he can access the Shinto afterlife just as
he can the Christian afterlife, assuming he doesn't get stopped
by someone in the pantheons.
- Shinto Deity/Spirit Guidance: Shinto deities and spirits
typically act as guiding hands and cleansors of souls, depending
on the deity or spirit and their role. Many positive Shinto
deities focus on this, in which they are able to use their
powers to influence the lives of others, usually to help give
them a guiding hand. Typically this could be as simple as
setting up circumstances to have someone meet or interact with
them, or can have certain things happen that might influence
what the person does with their daily life to a degree. This is
designed to subtlely guide someone, usually people who pray for
guidance from deities. Depending on the deity and what their
specialty is, most gods usually have some kind of specialty,
such as Tenjin being a god of the sky but also a god of learning
(So many people pray to Tenjin for academic guidance). Depending
on the deity, most have different ways of doing this. Typically
deities and spirits have to be subtle about how they do this, as
their involvement with the world is typically limited when it
comes to normal people. Typically, they try not to directly
interfere with people, and many are not able to interact with
humans much due to their strange presence that makes them fade
into the background. As stated before, spiritually sensitive
people and people who can see and interact with spirits can
usually interact more with deities and spirits than most normal
people, and this can lead to more direct interaction, which
deities and kamis tend to avoid if they can (but they will
sometimes if they have to.). Typically, Shinto deities and kamis
only help those that pray to them and give offerings, though
some can also request help from other Shinto deities and kamis
if needed as well.
- Shinto Deity/Spirit Soul Cleansing/Healing: This is the second
function of a positive Shinto deity and the kami's job, in which
most Shinto deities and kamis have the ability to purify and
cleanse spirits. Typically, this is mostly done for dead souls,
in order to keep them pure and prevent them from changing into
violent spirits or even hollows. Shinto deities and kamis have
the ability, somewhat similar to soul reapers, to help purify
spirits in the living world, usually through special Shinto
wards and magic. Most deities and kamis do this differently,
such as some that will heal someone or cleanse the soul with
something like purified water, or some can even use their own
energy to purify someone. However, Shinto deities and kamis are
also able to heal and repair living people, as they can do
things like healing injuries and even purifying spirits that are
still in living bodies if they are poisoned with supernatural
afflictions. Positive deities and kamis usually have the ability
to do this similar to beings like angels, where they are able
use this whenever they choose to (assuming they have the energy
to do so). Due to chosing to limit their influence on humanity,
deities usually only intervene if they have to, and this is more
usually to preserve spirits and stop dangerous spirits from
coming to be a problem. Typically this is a very subtle healing
ability, with most just able to do basic purification and
healing through Shinto spirit power. Depending on the type of
corruption, affliction or injury suffered, some deities and
kamis might have better ability to heal or purify than others,
and some even have special ways of doing so. For Jack, he mostly
combines his Shinto abilities with his angelic abilities to
create a more powerful healing and purification, making him able
to purify and heal far better than most Shinto deities and
kamis.
- Shinto God of Misfortune Curse Bestowal: Shinto deities of
calamity and misfortune are the opposite of positive deities.
Where positive deities focus on guidance and purification,
Shinto deities of misfortune spread misfortune and disaster for
people, sometimes even unintentionally causing problems for
people just due to the nature of their power. Typically, this
power is used by gods of calamity in the Shinto religion, where
they use subtle influence to bring bad luck and bad influences
into people's life through curses they place on others.
Depending on the deity, this can be done different ways, such as
some placing a mark on someone, or some using their spiritual
power to directly cause things to happen to someone. Typically,
these kinds of deities are prayed to by those who want to have
misfortune befall their enemies, where some of these misfortune
gods will go after those people pray against. Some also do this
to those with strong senses of evil in their hearts, where they
will cause misfortune to those with evil hearts in hope they
will change and try to be better people. Depending on the deity,
most handle this differently, with some focusing on other
things. However, the most common similarity is that all gods of
misfortune specialize in negative Shinto spirit power, and they
usually use their power to cause bad luck and bad circumstances
to happen to people, whether it's for someone else or because
they want to cause trouble. For Jack, he is the reincarnation fo
a god of calamity, who's specialty was killing people who people
would pray to him to kill. However, Jack has tried not to get
into doing this, and actively avoids trying to use his power for
misfortune or calamity, though he will sometimes make bad things
happen to evil people if he dislikes them or wants to make their
lives miserable.
- Shinto Deity of Calamity Calamity/Disaster Manipulation:
Negative power Shinto deities who use the power of misfortune
and calamity are able to create natural disasters, and
manipulate their environments to cause bad things to happen on a
larger scale than smaller misfortune gods would. This is similar
to the misfortune power, but instead is done over a large area
to affect a large number of people. The most common thing used
are natural disasters such as weather manipulation, or using
certain abilities to try and cause death on a large scale
somehow. Typically, this power is specific to each deity, and
each god of calamity usually specializes in something specific.
This ability is very dangerous, as higher level calamity gods
can cause cities to undergo natural disasters, such as sea gods
using tsunamis to cause disasters, or a storm god using a storm
to cause severe damage to a town. However, some may also go out
and do things themselves, such as some who will actually go out
and kill entire groups of people themselves. This power mostly
relies on the specialty of a deity, and what they're willing to
do. Thanks to the Shinto deities having a strong connection to
the lands they're usually connected to, negative gods can use
that to cause major disasters while positive gods typically
focus on keeping those disasters from happening. Typically, this
power is countered by positive gods, and usually every negative
Shinto deity has a positive equivalent. For Jack, he is the
reincarnation of a very powerful Shinto god of calamity, and he
can use this power to attack a city if he were wanting to. With
his angelic smite, his metal magic, and his other abilities, he
could cause great disasters such as earthquakes, storms or even
just using his abilities to kill groups of people if he chose to
like the god Yakubo that he is a reincarnation of. However, Jack
actively avoids trying to do that, and almost never uses this
power because he doesn't like spreading misfortune or calamity.
He has almost never seen a large group of people that he wanted
to cause great calamity to.
- Shinto Deity Human/Nature Connection: As one might imagine,
all shinto deities have very strong connections to humanity,
animals and the world itself. Due to the shinto deities being
spirits of the world first, and usually being assigned certain
aspects of nature, they have a very strong connection to nature
around them. This mostly applies to the areas their shrines
cover, as the shrines typically act as the place where Shinto
deities interact with humanity from being spirits. Most Shinto
deities are able to use this connection not only to interact
with humanity despite being spirits, but are also able to use
this ability to keep tabs on their areas and on how humans and
nature are interacting. Positive deities use this to strengthen
nature around them, usually trying to limit damage humans do to
nature as positive spirits are at their strongest when their
areas are at their strongest with nature. Negative spirits
specialize more in their connection to humanity and corrupting
humanity overall to do evil things, even sometimes using nature
to attack them. Typically, this depends on the deity, and almost
all have this connection with humanity and nature to a degree.
Depending on the deity, some have stronger connections than
others, and some may have stronger connections to certain
aspects of nature, animals or humanity depending on their
specialties. This is not a battle power, but more just a way to
read the environment, the animals and the humans in it to
understand how their power is interacting with nature, animals
and humans. For Jack, he is somewhere between a positive and
negative spirit, so he could use this to strengthen his bonds to
nature, or strengthen his bonds to corrupting humanity. However,
Jack usually focuses on trying to promote the positive aspects
of humanity, and tries to use his connection with humanity to
improve humanity rather than corrupt humans like most gods of
calamity would.
- Shinto Deity Human Possession: Shinto deities are able to
possess humans or other supernatural beings, since they are more
spiritual than living. Typically they have to do this in spirit
form, and cannot do this when physically manifested. Depending
on the deity, some will forcibly possess someone, or some might
opt for a willing possession, in which both have positives and
negatives. For forceful possessions, these are mostly used by
negative deities or kamis, where they don't care about how much
damage they do. This means that they can usually force others to
do what they want, but they have to be careful because strong
wills can resist this type of possessions, and certain wards and
marks can even negate possession completely. Positive spirits
usually don't possess someone unless the person is willing and
accepts, where the deity will form more of a unified will. This
allows the two to work together, assuming the person is willing.
However, the danger to this is that the deity usually takes a
back seat in the body, only coming out if the person is willing
to let them take over, which forces the deity to give up some
freedom. However, positive deities and spirits typically
specialize in helping others, so this usually doesn't bother
them since both usually benefit from this if this needs to be
done. Typically, this works like many other races that use
possession, and depending on the possession, deities may not be
able to use their full power when in a mortal being, and
sometimes the person will temporarily gain the abilities of the
deity or kami while in the mortal body. For Jack, he cannot
forcibly possess someone, mostly thanks to his angel side as
angels can only possess someone if they are willing. However,
for Jack, he rarely ever needs to do this, since can shapeshift
and can take any form he needs to, so he rarely ever needs this
ability unless he is trying to hide from someone by possessing
someone and hiding his presence from people.
- Shinto Deity Prayer and Wish Sense/Hearing: Shinto deities
specialize in wishes and prayer of those that pray or worship
them, which is typically done at shrines where their ability to
interact with people is at it's strongest. Shinto deities are
able to hear any prayers and wishes directed at them, not too
different from how angels use Angel Radio to hear prayers of
mortal beings. Typically, the best way to get to a Shinto deity
is praying at a temple, and usually giving an offering. When
done, a Shinto deity is not only able to hear the prayer or
wish, but they are able to respond and interact with those, even
locating those that have prayed or wished. Some do this
differently than others, such as some having telepathic
communication, or some using written wishes and prayers to
interact with others. When it comes to prayers and wishes, it is
up to the deity on what they want to do about the wish or
prayer, and they can hear this prayer and wishing from anywhere
in the mortal or spirit realm if it is happening at a place
where the deity can interact with mortals. However, unlike angel
radio, Shinto deities can not always hear prayers and wishes not
made in their territory, and some cannot hear prayers and wishes
unless the person is at a shrine where their connection to
nature and humanity is at it's strongest. This power is not a
battle ability, but more of a side sense that lets deities hear
mortals who pray to them. For Jack, he is able to use his Angel
Radio to hear anyone who prays to him, since his Angel Radio is
not limited like the Shinto deity prayer hearing. Because of
this, he typically uses Angel Radio rather than using his Shinto
deity hearing since he can more easily hone in one someone with
it (Assuming he were to get a prayer, since he doesn't have a
shrine or anyone who worships him.)
- Shinto Worship Empowerment: Like many gods, Shinto deities
that are worshipped grow in power based on the worship they
recieve. This increases their power and ability depending on
those that worship them and allows a deity to become stronger
once they are recieving worship regularly. Positive dieties
usually use this to strengthen their connection to nature, and
usually use this to bring fortune or good circumstances for
those that pray to them as a reward for their worship. Negative
dieties are usually prayed to in order to keep them from
commiting evil acts on the world, such as war gods who are
prayed to by those who want to keep the war god from getting
annoyed with humans and trying to start wars to create calamity.
Depending on the deity, some have different uses for this, but
the main thing to note is that deities gain power based on how
many and how powerful the worship is. This also depends on their
shrines and how large their area is, such as stronger Shinto
deities having larger area, larger numbers of people, and
overall gaining more from it. However, this doesn't mean that
those without worship cannot get stronger, as quality of worship
can be just as beneficial as quantity. Usually, this depends
more on the deity and how they handle their worship, since most
deities use this in their own way. Sometimes deities with large
numbers are stronger, but sometimes smaller numbers with
stronger worship are better for some other deities. However,
this doesn't mean that a Shinto deity's power grows endless, as
this only grants them small increases per person worshipping
them, and this worship must be maintained in order to gain any
power from it. For Jack, he has no worship from anyone, and
doesn't even have a shrine of his own, so he mostly has nothing
to really rely on. He has gotten some praise from those that he
has helped in the past trying to get followers, but he mostly
has nothing to really call "worship" for him, and typically he
tends to eventually annoy most people he interacts with, so most
people usually end up abandoning him anyway at some point.
- Shinto Ward Creation/Manipulation: This ability is similar to
other godly and other holy powers that use wards, where deities,
kamis, and even some humans are able to use Shinto wards in
different ways. Deities and kamis usually use this in special
wards that can be used to protect areas, or even drive out
certain beings. Those familiar with shinto priests will often
quickly figure out that this power works very well, as it is the
Shinto equivalent of holy magic and holy wards, where those of
the Shinto religion are able to use these similarly to spells
using wards and holy magic. For example, certain wards can be
tailored to certain beings, such as throwing a paper talisman to
do purification damage to a negative spirit or even things like
demons. Typically this depends on the deity, kami or human, as
this power has a lot of variety. Those who use this can use this
to attack with wards, create barriers, create sanctified areas,
or even ward places against certain kinds of creatures.
Typically, this ability depends on the person's knowledge of the
Shinto pantheon and what wards they place on their talismans or
how they use their talisman ability. This is most known among
Shinto priests and priestesses, who use this to purify and ward
against evil creatures, but deities and kamis can also use this
similarly to them. This power is typically positive in nature,
and can be countered by strong enough negative abilities, or
unholy abilities. For example, a strong enough demon could
overcome a ward against a demon if they overpower the ward and
destroy it if they have strong enough unholy energy. For Jack,
he mostly relies on his angelic wards, but will use this ability
since his mother had powerful ward abilities that Jack
inherited, but also has thanks to his Shinto deity powers. He
mostly uses positive abilities, trying not to dive into negative
abilities even though he has some ability to use negative powers
thanks to being the reincarnation of a god of calamity. Jack
will rely mostly on positive power, rather than use dark power
unless he's really desperate, as sometimes he has had to rely on
negative power.
Magic Abilities and Heaven Generated Abilities:
- Shinto Supernatural Hunter Magic: This was the specialty of
Jack's mother, where Jack's mother had been trained in a special
priestess magic that tuned supernatural hunter power to Shinto
ward power. Those that used this were able to tune priest and
priestess ward magic into weapons and use these weapons to
specifically kill certain supernatural creatures. For example,
this magic could be tuned to fight demons, and Jack could tune a
weapon with this magic to make a weapon a demon killer weapon if
Jack knows what he's fighting. He typically uses this to fight
supernaturals that threaten the living, such as using his
mother's sword to purify hollows. This power works using Shinto
religion magic, but focuses on the combat aspect. The main thing
to note about this, is that properly tuned weapons can kill an
opponent if struck through the heart even if the being can
regenerate (though the attack DOES have to hit the heart
specifically). Jack's use of this is mostly through his mother's
sword, in which he will focus an incantation and tune the weapon
to an enemy. However, the main problem with this magic is that
it can only be tuned to one type of supernatural creature at a
time, and requires an incantation to change the magic to affect
something else. For example, if Jack were making his magic able
to kill demons, it wouldn't have the same effect on holy users
or anything not demonic in nature. While he can still hurt
people with other magics, the major effect on killing a being
only applies to whatever he has tuned the magic to (AKA a demon
hunter magic would only kill demonic natured beings). Jack is
also only currently able to use this with his mother's weapon
and through his feathers of divinity (to a degree). Not only
does Jack have to tune this magic to whatever he's fighting, he
has to know what he's fighting and tune the magic properly,
making this limited by his own knowledge. For example, if he's
fighting a type of creature he's never seen or heard of, he
probably won't have an incantation to tune and would have
difficulty tuning this magic to the being.
- Celestial Metal Magic: This was the specialty of Jack's father
that Jack actually did inherit (since he didn't inherit his
mother's ice magic), which was metal magic. Jack is able to
control almost any kind of metal and change it's form depending
on the magic used. This lets him shape and manipulate metal as
he sees fit. And after training with Lei Sheng a while back, he
gained even better manipulation of metal enough that he can bend
metal by using his power and shape it into almost any shape, and
can even crinkle metal like paper using his manipulation. This
metal manipulation works just as one would expect, where Jack
can do things like summoning metal, reshaping metal, or even
changing metals into other metals. This metal manipulation magic
uses Jack's celestial magic, where his celestial force powers
this magic to make it a very strong holy magic. When in contact
with those of unholy or demonic nature, this has a strong holy
purification effect and can burn demonic or unholy natured
beings with celestial force energy that powers the magic. This
magic is Jack's main method of attack with magic, as this is his
specialty. Jack can only manipulate metal, and cannot manipulate
other types of earth, which means Jack can't manipulate things
like dirt or crystals as he can only manipulate materials of
metallic nature. This power is mostly countered by wind
abilities (since wind mostly counters earth abilities), but also
lightning can do far more damage to him due to the conductivity
of most metals since metals tend to conduct electricity very
well. Jack is also vulnerable to things like unholy or demonic
abilities that can counter this magic, such as hellfire being
able to reduce his metal to molten metal.
- Feathers of Divinity Spell Enchantment: This is a basic
celestial force power among some grand priest angels, where they
are able to infuse their wings with celestial force using
celestial magic until their wings become sources of celestial
force. Once their wings become sources of this power, they can
use their feathers to focus their celestial force. For most who
use this, they focus this power into their wings as an extension
of their celestial magic where they're able to use unique arts
for their feathers using celestial magic as way to cast magic.
Some skills are fairly basic, like healing and purification,
though this magic can also cast elemental magic as well using
feathers as an activation source. Depending on how they're used,
these feathers can have a variety of abilities, in which some
are unique to the user specifically. Any of the feathers on a
grand priest angel's wings can do this, and any of them can
focus any of the arts they can use by enchanting spells into
their feathers. However, users can only use their specific
feathers to cast magic, and they can only enchant feathers using
magic they can use. Their feathers might also be able to be used
by opponents if an opponent gets a hold of one, which can be
dangerous to the user as well if they focus a magic that the
user can't use when using the angel feather's magic. This not
only makes grand priest angel wings a weapon, but makes them
highly desirable by those who would want to use the wing's
feathers of those that use this art. For Jack, he mostly uses
this to heal others, and to cast certain metal spells, like
converting his feathers into metal through metal magic.
- Angelic Feathers of Healing/Support Magic: Thanks to the
feathers having celestial force powered magic in them, users of
the feathers of divinity magic are also able to focus their
basic angelic power through their feathers to allow them to use
healing and support power through their normal angel abilities.
Instead of focusing the magic like normal, they use the feather
to focus their basic angel abilities. When used, a user is able
to focus their healing or support power, using their power at
almost no cost thanks to their feathers having their own energy
thanks to the magic enhancement of the art. The main thing most
use this particular type of power for is healing others or
healing themselves, though the second use is basic defensive
abilities. Users can channel healing abilities through their
feathers, in which all they have to do is fuse a feather to a
being (or themselves) and it will heal them until it runs out of
power, even granting temporary regeneration if fused to someone
who's fully healed. Those healed are healed with angelic holy
power similar to their normal healing ability, as it focuses the
angel's healing power through the feather. While this can't
bring back the dead, it can heal others from near death if they
don't die before being healed. They can also use this to do
other things, such as using restorative energy to restore
stamina or energy based on the user. They can also use their
feathers to buff allies with magic empowerment, granting them
enhanced physical stats, or even use their feathers on opponents
to lower their physical stats temporarily. This is usually a
kind of magic that does no physical damage, and usually just
covers buff magic, debuff magic, and healing magic.
- Angelic Feathers of Purification: This feathers of divinity
type of power is centered around purification. Similar to
healing power, this magic is restorative in nature, but focuses
more around removing unwanted presences. The first thing this
can is to purify corruption in people, with users being able to
use their feathers to purify things like demonic energy
poisoning, or purifying soul corruption. When using this, the
unwanted presence is purified and cast out of the body, using
the feather as the magical conduit for the purification power.
The second thing that users can do with their purification power
is remove certain status effects that can be caused by
supernatural power, such as removing blindness or sense
deprivation that is caused by supernatural afflictions. If a
user can identify the affliction or what caused it, they can
then purify it if they know enough about the affliction to
purify it. This works on almost any supernatural affliction, as
well as a user being able to purify almost any negative
presence, assuming they know what is causing the affliction,
which they can usually figure out quickly with a good analysis.
This magic can also be used offensively, with it's last use
being able to purify the undead and do purification damage to
demons. This can purify unholy presences, and can weaken
stronger undead or demonic presences, sometimes even killing
weaker demon or undead presences the feathers are used on. Of
course, the feather has to be used for this, and users do have
to know what they're trying to purify in order to use this.
- Shinto Positive and Negative Ward/Talisman Magic: Because of
Jack's deity power being somewhere between positive and
negative, Jack is able to use both positive and negative ward
magic, where he is able to use both powers as needed. This
allows Jack to use positive or negative powered wards so he can
tune his wards to specific threats, and allows him to use his
ward and talisman magic to attack and defend against postive or
negative enemies. Jack is able to use these wards and talismans
just like many Shinto priests and priestesses, where he is able
to do things like creating barriers, creating attack wards to do
damage to enemies, or using his wards to protect an area and
ward it against certain types of creatures. Jack is even able to
focus this through his feathers of divinity, but he can only
focus his positive ward and talisman power through his feathers
due to his angelic wings being purely positive in nature. These
wards work just like they normally would for most Shinto priests
and priestesses, and work just like typical Shinto magic.
However, just like his Shinto deity power, he cannot freely
switch all the time. As he uses one type more, he slowly shifts
towards that type, such as using positive wards will shift him
more to a positive nature and reduce his ability to use negative
natures. Currently, he is able to keep it balanced, but this
typically means constantly switching between the two so he
doesn't sway too much to one side, which could be used to
eventually push him into one side permanently. It is also worth
noting that his positive side wards are much stronger currently,
due to his angelic power and his powerful ability top purify and
use celestial magic with said angel power. This means his
negative ward and talisman power is not nearly as strong as his
positive one, which means Jack typically has more trouble
fighting holy natured people, and cannot use very strong
negative nature wards all the time.
- Celestial Silver Magic: This is a small variation of Jack's
metal magic, where he is able to focus on the properties of
silver and create silver with his metal magic from many other
substances. Using this magic, he is able to create silver from
almost any solid substance, and turn it into celestial silver
with a powerful holy element. Celestial silver is similar to the
metal that angel blades are made of, and works similarly to
angel blades, with celestial silver working best when fighting
demons since celestial silver can kill demons similiar to angel
blades. This magic works just like his normal metal abilities,
except that he is able to shift physical objects into silver by
manipulating their physical structure. This is one of the few
metals that he can create from almost any physical object, and
he can reshape as needed. However, this only works on
non-organic materials, and Jack cannot change organic materials
into silver (AKA he wouldn't be able to turn someone into a
silver statue, or turn a living weapon into pure silver to
incapacitate it). However, he can also only create the same
amount of silver that he uses according to the law of equivalent
exchange (Example: He could only create a foot long silver blade
from a foot long iron blade and couldn't create a larger blade
unless he had more material to change.) This ability is usually
best countered with wind and lightning abilities, and certain
fire abilities can also counter his silver. It is also possible
to counter his celestial silver with powerful enough demonic
equivalents, such as demonic gold used by Mammon (or by Amaimon
these days).
- Celestial Metal Feather Magic: This is a unique variation of
his metal magic, where Jack uses his feathers of divinity to
create metal to use on enemies. This allows Jack to turn his
feathers from his wings into metal, where he can throw or
manipulate metal feathers that he can hurl at people, or even
use his feathers of divinity to create Shinto wards and
talismans, or use his feathers to just try to spear people.
Typically, his feathers can turn into any metal Jack can
manipulate, and Jack is able to apply both angel celestial magic
and his shinto deity magic to these metal feathers to create
different effects, such as a metal feather to spear a demon that
is tuned with demon hunter magic that will burn and purify a
demon the longer the feather is stuck impaled in them. This uses
his metal magic in a somewhat more unique way, and is very
useful since his feathers of divinity cost less power than a
normal magic spell would. This also allows him more freedom when
combining different spells and wards, since his feathers can be
tuned using his supernatural hunter magic as well. He could even
use these to create barriers and ward a place using his metal
featers, depending on what he wants to do. As one might imagine,
strong demonic abilities can counter these feathers more easily,
and wind abilities can slice through these metal feathers to a
degree. Though the two best methods for countering this are
lightning/magnetic manipulation to control of the metal or fire
manipulation to melt the metal. Typically, those with strong
enough lightning and fire manipulation can take control of
Jack's metal from him if they are skilled enough.
- Celestial Iron Dust Magic: This special magic is one where
Jack usually calls iron dust from the ground under him and
generates a cloud of holy iron dust to use against opponents.
Typically, iron works best against spiritual opponents, since
iron can do more damage to spirits, and the holy aspect of the
power does more damage to unholy or demonic opponents. Usually,
this dust can be manipulated and condensed to create physical
objects of iron, as Jack typically uses this to attack people
once he's created blades from it or created objects that can
hurt people. Typically, this dust is usually a cloud until he
manipulates it, and uses his celestial metal magic to manipulate
it. Since iron dust is best used for fighting spirits, he will
often call this up from the ground when fighting a spritual
opponent, or he has magnetized iron dust in a special pouch
usually with him that he can use as well. Typically, Jack has no
problem with iron dust, but he absolutely cannot touch it when
he's in spirit form, or it will affect him just like any other
spirit, and may even temporarily dispel him if he touches it in
spirit form. This iron dust, however, is highly vulnerable to
lightning users, and magnetic users can take control of this
dust from Jack if their power overpowers his metal magic. This
power can also be countered by strong wind opponents as well,
since wind can blow away his iron dust pretty easily unless Jack
creates heavy solid objects.
- Celestial Silver Coin Blast: This attack was something Jack
came up with from watching certain other opponents. With this
attack, Jack takes a silver coin and flicks it at an opponent
with his metal magic acting as an amplifier. Jack will flick a
silver coin at someone, usually as a way to hit them with
tremendous impact force. When he flicks the coin, the metal
magic he uses to amp it's speed when flicked makes it move
extremely fast, and makes the coin hit with extreme physical
impact. Jack has left large craters in concrete with this
attack, and can even almost break through a large metal wall.
This attack does heavy impact damage, and can also hit the
opponent with an impact of celestial silver which can release a
wave of purifying celestial energy that can cause more damage to
those with unholy or demonic natures, where the celestial energy
wave can burn and purify a demon if it hits them. This doesn't
kill a demon, but does cause severe damage to the body. However,
this power is meant for heavy impact, and doesn't usually kill
an opponent, though it can incapacitate an opponent if it hits
them in the right spot. This attack also requires an opponent to
be at around medium range to work properly, as this attack has
to build up speed before it can do any real damage to an
opponent. The problem with using it at medium range is that
opponents can dodge the attack if they react fast enough and can
block it if they move close enough before it manages to get to
the speed it needs to do damage.
- Celestial Silver Bullet: This ability is one that Jack uses by
creating silver, where he creates a small bullet projectile out
of celestial silver. This was designed to be used as a piercing
projectile, where Jack flicks this "bullet" at an opponent and
the metal magic amplifies it's speed and power so it pierces an
opponent rather than just hit them with impact force. This
bullet can also be modified using Jack's power, where he is able
to put Shinto wards on the bullet, or even put special angelic
ward magic into the bullet to do more damage to certain types of
creatures (usually demons or enemies of the Shinto pantheon).
Typically, this ability is designed to kill opponents, as Jack
usually uses his supernatural hunter magic on these bullets, and
then tunes them to his opponent. If these bullets hit the heart
and are tuned correctly, this can kill an opponent even if they
have regeneration, as hitting the heart with a tuned weapon can
kill a creature if the tuning of the magic is done correctly.
However, this does have to hit the heart, and any other damage
done can be regenerated. And like his coin blast, this attack
has to be used at mid range, since he can't get the speed
necessary at close range to use this technique. This also means
that fast enough opponents may be able to dodge or even block
this if they get within close range before Jack gets the attack
off. This is more of a piercing attack, and cannot pierce
certain materials if they are stronger than the power he's using
on the attack.
- Runed Chains of Containment: Not many people know about the
specifics of heaven's jail, which is designed to contain angels
who have committed crimes against heaven but are not sentenced
to being cast out of heaven. Usually, if they only require
imprisonment for a time, then they will serve a sentence in the
jail. The chains used to contain and trap people in the jail can
be used/summoned by those with an affinity for metal
manipulation. These are essentially very similar to the chains
that are used around hell's cage, and the chains are similar
enough design that they are essentially identical. When used,
these chains are designed to be wrapped around and trapping
people, and works to negate almost any beings abilities when
they are in contact with this metal. Those with metal
manipulation can eventually gain the ability to summon these
chains, which can last up to 3 rounds when called out. These
chains are strong, but one has to be careful when using them, as
they can actually also contain the user if they are turned back
on the user. The best way to avoid these are to not let them
make physical contact, and certain abilities like fire can
actually melt these and remove the enchantment that make them
able to do this. They are also counterable by the hell generated
Cage Chain ability that uses almost the exact same chains.
- Streets of Heaven Clear Metal/Gem Manipulation: This is
another type of earth manipulation power generated by Heaven.
Those that summon this power are able to summon unique holy
materials that are not actually possible on earth. Most people
are familiar with the "clear gold" that the streets are said to
be made of, but many of the other materials making heaven's
structures are also clear metals and gems that earth users can
use in battle. When used, this is very useful for earth users,
as it is not only a powerful holy earth manipulation, but the
materials used are extremely strong, making perhaps some of the
strongest materials in heaven for making earth attacks out of.
This particular power also is hard to categorize by most people,
as the clear gems can be used to confuse people as to what kind
of material it is, meaning that some people who are good at
figuring out how to cancel out certain earth materials using
chemical reactions (Such as using acid to interact and change
certain materials to another form) cannot use their knowledge
effectively since these materials are not of earthly origin. As
such, they are able to be cut through like normal gems and
metals, but are much more dififcult to do so. This is a powerful
earth manipulation that does heavy holy damage, and is a good
counter to the unholy gold of the fourth circle of hell. This is
counterable by any kind of earth counter, with wind and fire
being the usual counters for earth.
- Celestial Manna Daily Bread: This is a unique food that is
only made in heaven. Manna is typically described as a type of
sweet bread that tastes like it's combined with honey, or some
have said it can be ground and made into cakes. This food is
designed to sustain angels, and is designed to be a unique food
that only the righteous were meant to have. This bread is
designed to be eaten by those that summon it, in which they are
able to use this to amplify their physical abilities, and use
this to restore their stamina and energy, as the bread is not
only restorative, but also is holy in nature and those with holy
natures are able to use this to effectively amp their physical
stats while it's in their system. This can last for up to 15
minutes before the user starts to return to their normal state.
If a demonic opponent eats this, it can poison them, and can
even kill them if they eat too much of this, because it is a
holy food that is not designed to be eaten by unholy presences.
However, it is worth noting that this is not something that can
be overused, as those that try can make themselves sick if they
eat too much of this, as it's not designed for it's
amplification, but designed to sustain rather than amplify one's
abilities. When it comes to the enhanced stats, demonic
enhancement equivalent abilities can counter the stat boost if
they have the ability to amp themselves with demonic energies.
Combat Abilities:
- Muy Thai/Kickboxing Mixed Style Expert: Ever since Jack was a
child, he's fought in underground fighting rings. When he was
young, he was taught by two martial artists. One taught him Muy
Thai, a fighting style focused around mixing knee and elbow
attacks into combat, which can be used to do more damage to an
opponent with the right training. Jack also has training in
kickboxing, where he learned how to use this style and mix it
with his Muy Thai training. Typically, Jack will mix both styles
together, creating a fluid style that mixes kickboxing attacks
with the occassional Muy Thai attacks. This mixed style is very
good for attacking and defending opponent, using a closed
defense to keep Jack's body condensed so that he can more easily
take impacts, and keeping him fast and fluid so he can try to
stay ahead of his opponents. In most fighting rings Jack has
been in, he has made a name for himself thanks to his fast and
fluid motion, in which most people called him "Shining Blue"
because most people could only keep track of the blue light that
was usually emitting from his eyes. Typically, Jack's style has
both great defense and offense, and is a very balanced style.
While Jack doesn't have advantages over every kind of fighter,
he does manage to stay balanced in his style so that he can
adapt quickly and utilize his natural speed and agility to keep
up with faster and stronger opponents. Since Jack was raise in a
fighting ring, he's got a lot of experience in combat, and has
been fighting since he was six years old. However, while
skilled, his fighting style is like any other, and every style
has other styles that can beat it, and there are plenty of
people far more experienced and better skilled than Jack is.
Typically, Jack's style is best countered with other balanced
styles, such as karate, jujitsu and similar styles that tend to
focus on balancing a combat style rather than make the style
focus on one specific stat.
- Grand Priest Angel Fighting Style: Focused Strike: This is a
special combat technique that grand priest angels developed, and
was originally developed by Abel as one of the first angelic
specific martial arts. Not only the grand priest angels, but
also many angels learned this style as well so that they would
have another combat style specifically designed for angelic
close combat, to which even fallen angels learned this style
after a few grand priest angels fell. Unlike some more peaceful
angels, most grand priest angels are not afraid to use their
physical strength to stop someone in a fight if they had to. As
such, they have learned to condense their strength into small
compact strikes to do more damage to opponents, as most use this
to make up for a lack of physical strength many don't always
have. This was designed for angels not as physically strong as
stronger supernaturals so that they can still damage stronger
supernaturals. This fighting style also uses influences from
Karate and Jujitsu, making it useful for defensive movements and
using opponent's momentum against them. This style was created
by Abel, who perfected it over a very long time when he became
an angel. This style is a fairly custom style, making it hard to
predict or know about in battle unless one is familiar with it,
and is typically taught to all grand priest angels and angels
willing to learn it. For the most part, this style is also
customizable as needed, with many users of this style developing
their own substyles and variations of this style when combining
it with other styles they might have. Jack usually focuses this
into his Muy Thai/kickboxing style, and usually combines
elements of it with his other combat to make his attacks hit
harder since he usually lacks immense physical strength like
some stronger supernaturals.
- Expert Supernatural Hunter: Though not as old as most angels,
Jack is a skilled supernatural hunter who knows easily how to
fight most types of supernaturals in the world, though his
specialties are the Shinto pantheon and the Christian pantheon.
Most angels know the strengths and weaknesses of many kinds of
supernaturals, including some like time lords that are more rare
depending on the angel's individual experiences. Most angels are
skilled opponents to face by any race, and knows how to take
down most supernaturals thanks to their experience. Any
supernaturals an angel doesn't know about, they can usually find
information through the angelic network as needed since they can
still talk to other angels still on earth. Since most angels are
typically very smart beings and have a lot of experience to
teach them how to handle many types of situations, they are able
to often come up with solutions to most problems if they
encounter a supernatural with an ability they can't counter.
Though angels don't know everything about supernaturals, they
usually know a lot about the supernaturals they fight, even
though there are plenty they don't know, just like many other
fighters since the universe is filled with many unknown races
and beings. While they can handle things like demons and fallen
angels more easily due to experience fighting them, usually
primordial creatures like the The'Galin are typically outside of
the knowledge of angels, usually requiring someone else to give
them information on these creatures. For Jack, he learned a lot
of his supernatural hunting information from his mother's side
which taught him how to use supernatural hunting magic, and
taught him to fight supernaturals. He also learned a lot from
his time in fighting rings and interacting with supernaturals in
the world.
- Tracking and Hunting Expert: This is another thing that comes
with experience in being a supernatural hunter, in which many
people trained as supernatural hunters learn how to track and
hunt supernaturals who are threats, often learning the best ways
to track down their opponents as well as how supernatural
hunters may track them if they ever find themselves on the wrong
end of a supernatural hunter (in the case of supernaturals).
Those trained in this learn very subtle things from their
training, like telling whether a foot print is their target or
not by things like the shape of the boot and how deep the
boot-print is, with some being advanced trackers that are able
to identify people by boot prints, as well as also being able to
tell where opponents go thanks to things like walking on plants,
and animals that are unusually silent in a direction. Some even
have a sense of when opponents are near, and can often gain a
sense of where their opponents are going while tracking them. Of
course, with a supernatural senses, this becomes even more
effective as those with enhanced senses can do things like find
traces of body heat, traces of presences, or even just telling
what's around them more easily with special senses.
- Supernatural Exorcism, Weakness and Trap Training: Of course,
every supernatural hunter has to learn how to do things like
exorcisms, and use traps for certain types of races. From their
training as well as their experience, angels were trained
heavily in how to trap and contain supernaturals mostly through
Enochian knowledge and spells/sigils. They are taught things
like how to draw demon traps, how to build traps for other
supernaturals, or how to lure out supernaturals if they try to
hide. They are also taught all manners of exorcisms, from
exorcising demons, to using Enochian sigils to cast out fallen
angels and sometimes even how to cast out angels. Of course, as
many angels have had plenty of practice and experience, they
also eventually developed experience with it over time, and can
learn new ways to take on supernaturals thanks to
experimentation with their abilities and knowing how to combine
certain exorcisms and abilities. Depending on what's available,
some angels can come up with new ways to take on supernaturals,
and this works even better when paired with their smiting and
purification abilities, in which this usually determines how
they use exorcisms and purification since their knowledge
typically determines how effective their exorcism would be, as
well as their power also helping determine outcomes of
exorcisms. Jack specializes in Shinto pantheon priest magic
learned from his mother, which works great for exorcism, but
also in angelic power based exorcism thanks to training he had
with Lei Sheng.
Passive Abilities:
- Angelic Wings/Wing Suppression: All angels have angel wings to
a degree, with some having more unique wings than others. These
wings are usually a defining trait for angels, and as one might
expect, angels are able to fly using these wings. Typically most
wings look bird-like in nature, being white wings that can give
off light when shown that comes from the spirit of the angel
itself. These wings can be made visible, but most angels on
earth have ways to suppress their wings, with two main ways. The
first is simple, in which their wings are shapeshifted into
their backs, usually shapeshifted so they are out of sight. The
second is the more common method most angels use, where their
wings are left on the spiritual plane rather than on the
physical one, and their wings become intangible as a result.
While still there, their wings are not seen, and cannot be
attacked while they are in the spiritual plane. Usually when
this method is used, the only real way to see the angel's wings
is when they flare up their angelic power, and their wings
become visible on their shadows behind them as their bodies
generate a mass of light. However, there are angels that have
unique abilities with their wings, such as some who are able to
use special wing skills (like Amenadiel being able to shapeshift
his wings into spear-like projectiles). Jack's angelic wings are
pretty standard, and only visible when Kariel wants them to be.
- Angel Regeneration: Those that have seen angels often figure
out quickly that angels have powerful regeneration, and much
harder to kill than demons are (typically). Aside from specific
weapons like angel blades, varanium weapons, and other weapons
designed to kill any creature, angels typically are very
difficult to kill, and able to regenerate their bodies even from
a puddle of blood on the ground. As long as there is something
left of them, they are able to regenerate, with angels having
among the most powerful supernatural regenerations alongside
demons and fallen angels. Typically, most angels have some form
of regeneration, and some angels don't have as strong
regeneration due to having trained other defensive abilities,
but most angels do have some form of regeneration. Typically,
angelic regeneration isn't as strong as archangel regeneration,
as archangels are not vulnerable to all the same things normal
angels are weaker too. Archangels are still killable, but they
not only regenerate faster, but also are able to withstand
normal angel blades, and certain other weapons that would kill
angels. For the most part, their regeneration is powerful, but
things like varanium, death scythes, other archangel blades, and
even demon prince power can still kill them, though many
archangels take longer to kill than normal angels. Depending on
the injuries, more injuries might take longer to regenerate, and
depending on the angel and the strength of their regeneration,
some wounds will also be more difficult to regenerate. As a
result, typically doing something like cutting an angel's head
off can stop them even if it's temporarily if one cannot kill an
angel or archangel, as there are still strategies that work
since they do still take damage. While Jack has angel
regeneration, he evens out his regeneration and hardskin
defense, meaning that he can't regenerate as fast or as
efficiently as regenerative types, but takes less damage overall
so things usually balance out for him.
- Angel Hardskin Defense: Some angels have actually developed a
type of defense using their holy auras, in which some angels
have developed a harder skin using their divine auras, and have
made their skin much harder to pierce in combat. Typically this
comes alongside their regeneration, in which angels can focus
some of their regenerative power into this to strengthen their
defense. The question mostly becomes which skill do the angels
want more, as some prefer regeneration, but some prefer not
taking the damage at all. Typically, this defense, at its
fullest, can defend against normal bullets, and some higher
level bullets, with those like Amenadiel showing that toughening
the body can be just as useful in a fight as regenerating
injuries. The main issue with this is that, in order to use it,
one must sacrifice some regenerative ability in order to
generate the power form this, since this power has to come from
a source. Typically angels have a choice of either one or the
other, or weakening both to get a little of both skills. This
depends on the angel, as some may prefer one over the other. At
full strength, some angels and archangels have often been seen
as nearly indestructible by weaker opponents (even though they
are just harder to damage). Typically, archangels have more
power they can put into this, but this does still require
putting in some of their regenerative power. When at full
strength, angels are only able to regenerate basic injuries and
cannot regenerate fatal wounds easily (though they still can).
This can, however, be more easily pierced by demonic or darkness
power, since this power runs on an angel's holy presence/aura.
Certain weapons can even ignore this defense entirely, such as
angel blades being able to instantly break this ability, and
celestial weapons can more easily break this skill as well.
While Jack has angel regeneration, he evens out his regeneration
and hardskin defense, meaning that he can't regenerate as fast
or as efficiently as regenerative types, but takes less damage
overall so things usually balance out for him.
- Angelic Immunity to Holy Effects: Angels are completely immune
to the effects of holy energy. The purifying effects and
damaging effects of holy energy is something that no angel has
to worry about (unless they are a fallen angel), since they are
holy beings. Things like holy afflictions or purifying power
typically doesn't work unless it's something aimed at angels
specifically (like Enochian angelic exorcism chants), and they
cannot be negatively effected by holy energy or any advanced
holy energy. While they can still take damage from the attack
itself, like being sliced by a holy blade or being hit with a
holy attack, the actual purifying effects don't have any real
effect on them and, for some, can actually serve to empower some
angels. For the most part, while they are not vulnerable to holy
power, they are more vulnerable to demonic power, which does
more damage. Demonic afflictions are also more effective on
angels, as well as some fallen angels having ways to cast
afflictions on angels through things like their corrupted aura
of the fallen. Typically, most angels are like this, with almost
none of them being affected by holy energy effects, but can be
affected by demonic effects and fallen angel effects. For Jack,
Jack is just like any angel, and has immunity to most holy
powers. However, this also applies to his near immunity to godly
power of the Shinto deities, since they are positive in power.
However, unlike other angels, Jack can be hurt by holy power if
he's using the negative side of his Shinto deity power.
- Angelic Holy Presence Empowerment: Like demons who are able to
gain power from sinful desires, angels have their own way to
more easily regain their power and even amp their power if their
power is full. By absorbing energy from a holy place, or a holy
item, they are able to replenish their power. This could be as
simple as drinking holy water, or even walking into a holy place
to recover strength from the holy place, like a church or
sanctified area. For the most part, these items and places help
replenish an angel's power when they need a faster recovery, and
can even help strengthen them if used. When fighting battles in
sanctified places or in places like churches, angels gain an
advantage as the holiness of the holy place they are not only
restores some of an angel's power as they fight, but also tend
to weaken unholy presences like demons due to the holy presence.
As such, angels usually fight best in places that are holy since
they are able to constantly recover some of their power.
However, depending on the area, it's not often all of their
power that gets restored, and typically, this also depends on
the angel and how much of an affinity for absorbing holy energy
from presences they have. Another thing to note is that this
method takes longer to recharge archangels, since archangels
typically have more power than normal angels to restore, making
this better for normal angels, but this does also work for
archangels even if it's to a lesser degree. Typically, holy
places are the best places to do this, or using certain holy
items as only certain holy items will do this (like holy water).
For example, an angel cannot gain power from a burning ring of
holy oil, as it doesn't give off a kind of holy power they can
absorb. Jack can use this as well, but cannot use this while
using his god of calamity powers.
- Angel Radio: Angels have their own communication network,
dubbed by mortals as "Angel Radio". Typically, even angels have
come to refer to this as angel radio, and use it to communicate
with each other when needed. This is shared among all angels,
with any angel being able to communicate on it, and hear what's
going on. Even nephilim that are not full angels are able to tap
into this with training or the right angel forcing communication
with them. Usually the main use of this is for them to
communicate with each other, but there is another use for this
in which angels can hear the prayers of mortals. Usually, it's
rare for lower angels to get prayers specifically, but some
angels respond to prayers and will actually use this to help
mortals who need it (usually grand priest angels who's primary
job is to build faith in humans). Typically, angels are able to
zero in on anyone who prays, even if they are warded, and are
able to go to that person (though they might not be able to
reach them if they are warded). Most angels can hear general
prayers, though typically, specific angels being prayed to can
only be heard by the angel that the mortal is praying to, such
as the Winchesters sometimes using this to call Castiel when
they need him. This can also be used to send tactical
information during large-scale battles, as angels are not only
able to communicate battle plans, but can even do things like
sending SOS signals. This isn't a battle power, just being
mostly for angels who answer prayers in God's place and for
angels to communicate. However, caution is advised for those
that tap into this without Heaven's consent, as those who access
this without heaven's consent are often investigated to see if
the person should have a connection to angel radio or not
(usually investigating nephilim as they are the only one that
can usually tap into this besides angels and the rare fallen
angel. Jack has this, but usually stays off angel radio so
people like Sariel and Michael cannot find him since he tends to
try and avoid the Christian pantheon, and he only uses this to
communicate when he absolutely has to.
- Angelic Mimicry/Mortal Reading: Angels have a natural affinity
for mimicking others, in which they can do things like mimicking
someone's actions exactly. Their mimicry is so complete that
they are even able to copy the voices of others, such as
mimicking the voice of someone to lure an enemy into a trap, or
mimicking someone's actions to each muscle movement. This
typically goes along with their ability to read mortals, in
which angels are able to read a mortal's body language usually
fairly easily. The biggest use for this is that most angels can
tell when someone is lying, in which they can tell by reading
the person's body whether or not the person believes they are
telling the truth. While this doesn't help against those that
can suppress their unconscious minds signs at lying (like the
Darkfires and Hazeldines can), it does help angels more easily
read almost anyone that they can read. When combining these two
abilities together, it shows that the angels have a high ability
to read someone, as well as mimic their movements and can even
copy certain combat styles by watching people fight. Typically,
this can help in a fight, since they can more easily learn how
certain combat styles work. However, some beings might not be as
easy to mimic, specifically those that have specific powers that
prevent themselves from being mimicked, and some have abilities
that prevent them from being read by other beings. Jack usually
doesn't rely on this, but he can do this, and usually only does
this to learn people's fighting styles and learn new things
about combat through mimicking others with great combat
potential.
- Angelic Cosmic Awareness: Most angels are powerful enough that
they are aware of most things going on in the known universe, as
long as it's something the angels have knowledge of. Angels
typically have a pretty good understanding of much of the forces
of the universe, including those many people wouldn't think
would be important. On top of that, most angels have such an
awareness of the universe that most angels can detect changes in
space and time, in which angels can tell when someone is time
traveling and changing time, or tell when someone is teleporting
if they can track the teleportation. For the most part, angels
are designed to be able to handle most threats in the known
universe, and aside from things like primordial beings, they
typically have knowledge of most things going on, including
knowing things like when portals to alternate dimensions have
been created as well. However, there is a limit to this, as
certain types of creatures are not always known or angels might
not have awareness of the entire universe. One such example is
that angels typically don't have any cosmic knowledge of
primordial beings, with one example being the The'Galin (though
many angels do now know about them due to the war being fought).
For the most part, some angels have faced primordial beings and
simpley described heaven's response as "alarms are going off
that haven't gone off since creation", which shows that their
knowledge only goes so far. While Jack does have this, he uses
this knowledge more for the Shinto pantheon, since he is trying
to become a legitimate god of the Shinto pantheon.
- High IQ/Intelligence: Despite how Jack might seem at times,
Jack is actually an extremely smart person, and has a very high
intelligence as well as has a very creative mind. Jack mostly
shows this intelligence in his work on vehicles, as he not only
works on them, but can build almost any kind of vehicle (though
his specialties are motorcycles). He spends most of his spare
time working on vehicles (again usually specializing in
motorcycles), and has built multiple vehicles from junk parts.
He doesn't use his powers for this usually, except to fix parts
that are damaged, or to enhance certain parts using magic
amplification spells. However, this can also translate to
battle, where Jack is usually very analytical, even in times
where he's acting like an idiot, and is a very skilled
strategist. While he's not the best strategist around, he's
still a very skilled strategist, and is able to read and learn
just about anything. Jack also has a powerful memory as part of
his intelligence and high IQ, and can remember mostly anything
he has read, done or seen. However, this intelligence may also
be partially responsible for some of his major character flaws,
which is the fact that he hates losing. Typically, Jack knows
when he is beaten in battle, but he usually refuses to accept
that he's been beaten and is very prideful. This is one of his
major flaws, and something that enemies can exploit.
- Multi-Linguist/Language Learning: Most angels and fallen
angels have been around a long time, and know a great many
languages used by people on earth. Typically, most angels know
almost every language on earth, including ancient and forgotten
languages. The most common one to hear from an angel is
Enochian, in which Enochian is the language used by angels, and
is usually the default language they have that is used in Heaven
by angels. However, angels are also able to speak other
languages, with their second specialty being Hebrew, Biblical
Hebrew and other ancient languages that were used to write the
bible, which many angels know about. However, they are not
limited to these languages, as they can speak almost any modern
language, such as English, French, Spanish, and many other
languages. Because angels have been around since the creation of
humanity, they have mostly seen every language that has
developed thanks to man, and know almost every language there is
to know since they also knew each language before the languages
all split off and eventually became different languages. Due to
this, they have no need to learn new languages, as they
automatically gain this through interacting with humans and can
learn other languages after hearing enough of the language. Jack
mostly frequents English and Japanese, since they're the two
languages he has to speak most.
- Angelic Supernatural Life Span: Angels and archangels, being
angelic beings, have an indefinite lifespan. Thanks in part to
their supernatural regeneration, and their design in being a
type of creature that doesn't get old, angels don't age, and no
known angel has died of old age that hadn't given up their grace
to become mortal. While an angel can still be killed in battle,
or killed in a few different ways, they cannot die of old age,
because their angelic regeneration and their design has been set
up so that they do not grow old. Most angels stay in the same
form they were since the dawn of creation (as they are created
in their prime form), in which their angelic self typically
takes the form of the form they take when they were created. For
the most part, it's not known if angels will eventually die of
old age and just haven't yet, since it's not known if older
angel's regeneration can break down over time, which often
causes many regenerative types to age once they get old enough
they start losing their regenerative abilities. Since no angel
has reached that point, it is believed that they have an
indefinite life span, and since it's believed angels were
designed this way, the angels are believed to never have to
worry about dying of old age unless they choose to by giving up
their grace and living a human life (which some have done).
Since the life span is indefinite, no one knows if angels or
archangels can die of old age. It's not said by those like God,
so it's believed that they have an indefinite life span unless
something in them is changed by those like God. However, this
doesn't mean they can't be killed in battle, as they can still
be killed by things like angel blades (normal angels can be
killed by angel blades), or things like death scythes (which can
also kill archangels).
- Supernatural Telepathy: This ability lets an angel communicate
telepathically with anyone they can connect to. Typically this
power uses their angel radio, in which they use it to tune to a
person if they know where they are in order to communicate with
them. This lets them communicate with other people without
having to speak, with them being able to share thoughts directly
with others. However, usually the angel has to know where the
person is to use this since they have to know where to send
their thoughts. However, this doesn't apply to those who
establish permanent connections, such as connecting to other
family members. This lets angels not only communicate with those
they have a permanent connect with, but can also tell them where
they are at any time should they require to find them or need to
be summoned to them (which they typically do with their angel
radio). Those who are set up with permanent connections have to
accept the connection, and even then, they can sever it if they
choose to.
- Weapon Intangible Storing/Summoning: While most angels don't
use a lot of weapons other than angel blades, they are able to
summon their weapons if they know where they are. Similar to
their teleportation power, they can typically call their weapons
to them at any time, as well as some even being able to store
their weapon intangibly on their person where it is with them,
but made intangible in a manner similar to their art of making
their wings intangible. As such, this makes a good way to store
weapons that won't cause problems, as they can use this to store
weapons on them, but being intangible, they don't slow the angel
down to keep with them. Usually, most angels keep their angel
blades in their sleeves, where their blades are summoned and
called out of their sleeves when they need them. Some angels
have their own unique arts for this, but this is a good way to
store weapons in a way that doesn't require them to carry them,
but also doesn't bog down their spirits with weapons like those
that use the attach items to self power. They are able to store
any weapon on them they desire, however, unlike the attach item
to self power, they cannot summon the weapon back to them if
they are separated from it, and they typically have to go and
get the weapon before they can de-summon it. Some have unique
arts for this, but typically this is the best way to store
weapons for an angel. Jack has two weapons he stores this way,
which are his sword and his angel blade. He typically summons
them through supernatural hunter magic, since it is how he was
taught to keep his weapons hidden.
- Angelic Enhanced Senses: Depending on the angels, most angels
have highly enhanced senses. Most are able to do things like
seeing things from very far away, or hearing a conversation
going on a block away. They also have a strong enough sense of
smell that they can tell who people are just by the scent they
give off, and can even smell someone's DNA through scent alone.
Thanks to this, angels have very strong senses, and are on par
with almost any supernatural's senses. Each angel has their own
balance of senses, with some having lesser senses and other
stronger senses, usually depending on the angel and what their
specialties are. Typically, most angels do have very strong
senses, which can also be a weakness to a degree, since enhanced
senses can be taken advantage of, such as taking advantage of a
strong sense of smell by using a strong smell to overwhelm them.
This does depend on the angel, as some don't have as enhanced
senses, but those that do can be very difficult to avoid. Some
can even gain unique senses, such as fire users gaining a
thermal sense, or a lightning user being able to sense
electrical signals around them, mostly depending on the skills
and how the angel uses them. Jack's got standard enhanced
senses, which aren't too high, so they're unlikely to get
overwhelmed, but that means that he can't operate on the same
level as people with stronger senses, since his senses aren't as
enhanced as some other supernaturals.
- Angelic Sixth Sense: Much like vampires and other
supernaturals, angels can sense the presence of other beings,
and sensing who and what they are. This can sense not only one's
presence, but their levels of energy and how tough they are,
allowing the user to gauge how they stand against them, as well
as often being able to tell what they are by their presence if
the user recognizes what kind of presence it is. However, this
can be deceived by skilled opponents, sometimes not appearing
correctly if the user can't sense the opponent's full power or
use powers that fool this sense. There are also skills that hide
one's presence so those with this sense can't sense them, or
some opponents can suppress their presence so they're not fully
able to be sensed. While this isn't always the best judge of
someone's abilities, it can provide a slight insight to help the
user as to what they face or what's around them.
- Angelic Mind Resistance: All angels have a resistance to mind
alterations and other powers that influence the mind thanks to
their design. When the angels were created, they weren't granted
minds like those of mortal beings, but rather, they had unique
minds that were "programmed" by their creator (like God
programming the angels he created). As such, they have
resistance to powers that might interfere with this, as they all
have a base "programming" that essentially cannot be altered by
most creatures. As a result, most abilities that affect the mind
don't work well on angels, though some stronger abilities do
still work but to a reduced effect. The only real exception to
this is those that have figured out how this "programming"
works, like those like Crowley have researched angels enough and
even managed to use rods that were drilled into an angel's mind
to "rewrite" their minds to a small degree. While this is not
possible to do on a large scale, those that know how this works
can actually reduce this defense by actually damaging their
heads, such as stabbing certain parts of their brain. However,
the specifics of how to do this are not known, and no one
besides a select few even know that Crowley was able to do it in
the past. Jack can use this, but typically has trouble
controlling his pride and anger, usually having to do with
losing fights, and this usually results in him having reduced
ability to do this. He can typically avoid some psychic
abilities that affect the mind though, even if he isn't always
great at controlling his emotions or his slight ADHD.
- Enhanced Angel/Archangel and Combat Trained Physical Stats:
All angels and archangels are all trained and are highly
enhanced warriors designed specifically for battle. For the most
part, all angels have highly enhanced physical stats in some
way. Each angel typically has different abilities, with each
angel being different in their physical combat. This depends not
only on the angel specifically, but also depends on their
training and how they train their physical stats. Some may focus
on strength, some on defense, or some on speed. This is usually
specific to each angel, with archangels usually even having
higher physical stats than normal angels due to being designed
as heaven's most powerful weapons. Angels and archangels are
usually very tough opponents, and most typically have stats that
let them compete with a lot of higher level supernaturals,
whether they are normal angel, grand priest angel or even
archangel. As such, it's hard to predict the individual stats of
every angel, but one typical rule is that angels usually either
focus one to three stats specifically, or they may focus all
their stats evenly. If they focus one to three stats
specifically, other stats not trained are typically not as high
with certain exceptions. And when an angel focuses all their
stats evenly, they typically have lesser stats, but all their
stats are usually fairly even. Again, this does depend on the
angel and their own preferences, as well as the level of angel
that one is up against. Jack's stats are mostly balanced, as his
combat stats have mostly been trained through combat training
and through fighting rings. In this manner, he has heavily
trained muscles required for combat, and doesn't have
unnecessary bulk on him that will slow him down in a fight. He
has good strength, but also great speed, stamina, durability and
defense thanks to his combat training.
Transformations:
- None (As he hasn't unlocked an angel form yet)
Weaknesses:
- Jack's major weakness is that he hates losing. Typically, he
is like this in just about any competition, and will rechallenge
people if he loses, or might try to fight until he wins
depending on the situation. This is something enemies can easily
use against him, as this also leads to his overconfidence when
he wins, and will always accept a rematch against opponents who
lose to him, as he is never afraid to win a fight or competition
again. This has led Jack to losing fights or competitions, and
also led to a slight anger management issue that he has. Because
Jack does sometimes lose, and due to how stubborn he is, this
something he lives with as one of his biggest flaws, and this is
easily the best way to take advantage of him both in and out of
fights.
- Jack was taught an honor code by his father, who operated on
certain ideals. The biggest one he was taught was never to raise
his hand to a woman, which Jack lives by. Typically, Jack will
refuse to hit a woman, and if fighting a woman, he will not
fight back beyond just dodging and defending, because he refuses
to hit a woman. This usually angers women he fights, as most end
up feeling that Jack isn't treating them fairly. Another major
aspect of his honor code is helping those in need, and this is
something Jack will also do without hesitation. Jack will
usually help others who need it despite what might happen to
him, and has risked his own life to save others in the past
because of this part of his honor code. Because of this, doing
things like taking hostages is a good way to exploit his honor,
as he will give up fights rather than let someone get hurt on
his behalf. Jack is very stubborn about this pride in his honor,
and refuses to break that code. Rarely, some opponents have
managed to take advantage of both this honor and his pride in
winning fights at the same time, such as a woman could
essentially appeal to his will to win to try and goad him into a
fight, which typically causes confusion in Jack's mind and
disorients him from the fight.
- For most Shinto deities, weapons designed to kill spirits can
kill them more easily, due to their more spiritual nature. Any
weapon that is designed to fight spirits can be used to fight
Shinto deities, and any weapon that can destroy spirits are able
to destroy Shinto deities. In the Shinto religion, deities are
just higher level spirits that are considered at the highest
level, and their godly powers are more about the spirit than
actual godly energy. Weapons like death scythes, soul swords,
and zanpakutos are great weapons to use against spiritual
opponents, and there are certain items in the world that can
destory spirits more easily. Powers that use spirit or soul
destruction, or powers that are designed solely for taking on
souls also work very well against Shinto deities usually.
- Shinto deities and kamis are also vulnerable to corruption in
their spirits, and powers that use that corruption. Typically,
the main enemy of Shinto deities are creatures of corruption
like dark spirits and hollows, who can easily destroy a Shinto
deity if they are able to corrupt them. Hollows are a major
threat to them, with Arrancars being even more so. Typically, if
they are corrupted, they must cleanse themselves with pure
water, blessed water, or water infused with holy energy or they
will become what they refer to as "blighted" where the
corruption will literally destroy them from the inside out. At
its worst, blighting can cause what appear to be burn marks on
the deity, and cause extreme pain that even deities cannot
contain or hold back. Eventually, this blight, if untreated,
will kill them, and is one of the worst things that can happen
to a god. When blighted, they can even spread this blight to
others through physical contact, which can destroy physical
beings if they are not careful. Because of this, deities usually
distance themselves from those who are blighted.
- For the most part, any angel's biggest thing that can hold
them back is sin. If an angel sins, or an angel, for some
reason, loses their confidence in their grace with Heaven, they
can actually lose their power if they can't pull themselves out
of it. And if they are caught sinning and chose not to repent,
they could even be cast out of Heaven and be forced to become
fallen angels as a result. This means that the best way to take
an angel out of play is typically to make them sin and if that
sin goes to their head, it can affect their power. While this
can be reversed by changing their mindset if they are in good
standing with Heaven, an angel's mind can actually hinder
themselves. Sin is always the biggest problem for angels, as any
angel can tell you from experience of what happened with Lucifer
that sin can be something that can ruin an angel's life. Just
because angels were created to be divine beings doesn't mean
they aren't tempted by desires just like mortals are, which
means that an angel can be tempted the same way mortals can.
- While it is hard to kill an angel, demonic energy and fallen
angel power can both be used to more easily damage them, with
higher level fallen angels and demons being able to kill angels
depending on their power. Demons have demonic equivalents of
almost every ability an angel has, and demons have counters for
almost everything angels have. As a result, demons typically act
as the natural counters to angels even though many demons were
once angels (with exception to the humans turned demon through
torture in hell). Fallen angels also have skill-sets designed to
be used against demons and angels, in which they have corrupted
energies which are their main power they gain when they become
fallen angels. It is even possible for nephilims and those with
angel power to kill angels as well, since they typically have
the power needed to kill angels. Fallen angels and demons are
the two main beings that can kill angels much more easily, but
any creature can kill an angel with the right weapons and
strategies. For example, normal angels can be killed by angel
blades, no matter who they are wielded by. Some creatures can
even kill angels without needing special weapons, such as
Leviathans or The'Galin who are able to kill angels without
needing any special weapons other than their own abilities since
they are beings that can overpower angels. To an extent, there
are some other primordial beings that could kill angels as well,
and this also includes those like Toranoraos, Death, God, and
even Galian.
- Interrupting an angel's regeneration and killing them
typically requires special weapons in order to kill them. Normal
angels can be killed by normal angel blades, archangel blades,
and by certain weapons designed to kill angels. Archangels
cannot be killed by normal angel blades, but they can still be
hurt by them, and can be killed by archangel blades. For the
most part, things like death scythes, weapons that can kill most
creatures (like the Colt), or other things designed to kill any
creature like the First Blade can also be used to kill angels
and archangels alike. Varanium is also a good way to interrupt
angelic regeneration, as angelic regeneration is a type of
supernatural regeneration that can be interrupted. This means
that they are vulnerable to regeneration negation abilities as
well, which do work just as well as they do against other
supernaturals. Angels can also still be hurt like normal beings
can, so they are able to be damaged (even if it's reduced thanks
to abilities like their hardened skin), and this is something
that can be used against them. For example, cutting an angel's
head off and getting it from the head can typically buy time for
someone to get away if they cannot kill an angel. There are
plenty of strategies that still work on angels even if they
don't die. Aside from their angelic regeneration, they are just
as vulnerable to damage as most supernaturals are.
- There are also other abilities and items that also do more
damage to angels. One such weapon are special brass knuckles
carved with Enochian sigils, that can be used to temporarily
interrupt an angel's power if they are hit with it.
Specifically, this weapon was designed by the British Men of
Letters to fight angels. Heavenly weapons can also be used to
kill angels to a degree, in which heavenly weapons can kill
angels as fairly easily as they kill fallen angels and/or
demons. This doesn't just apply to angel blades, but can also
use certain other weapons to fight angels. Another thing very
useful against angels is magic and psychic power. Magic that is
not holy based can actually do fair amounts of damage to an
angel, with dark/black magic or demonic magic being able to
actually kill them. It has even been suggested that angels could
even be killed reading books with the right magic worked into
them. Certain magic spells can also restrain angels, such as
certain paralysis spells, something that angels can be damaged
by. Psychics are also powerful enough that they can hurt, and
even kill an angel depending on their ability and power. For the
most part, these powers depend on the user, and whether or not
they can overpower an angel. However, archangels are harder to
kill with these methods and take highly reduced damage from
these kinds of weapons and items thanks to being much tougher
beings.
- Burning holy oil is also a great way to damage or trap an
angel. The first method is using a burning ring of holy oil to
trap an angel, in which they cannot pass through the burning
holy oil ring or they will die. However, higher level angels
(archangels specifically) can be trapped, but this doesn't kill
them if they try to pass through the ring. Depending on the
angel, most can be trapped in this, and depending on the level
of angel, some may or may not be able to use their powers when
in the circle. This is a great way to trap an angel if one
doesn't have access to special angel trap sigils, and simply
requires getting the angel into the circle and then using
something to ignite the holy oil. The other use for this is
something Dean and Sam Winchester came up with, where they use a
bottle of holy oil like a Molotov cocktail, and throw it at an
angel. When done, this not only does extreme damage to an angel,
but also can cast them out of an area, sending them somewhere
randomly. This even works on archangels, and while archangels
don't take as much damage, it is still very useful for casting
them out of an area. Holy oil is fairly easy to get a hold of,
as there are many ways for people to make it these days, so if
one knows where to luck, just about anyone can get a hold of
holy oil to use against angels (Though it also works on fallen
angels as well).
- Angels that take vessels are typically more vulnerable to
certain exorcisms, as taking vessels, while useful when used
properly, can be dangerous to the angel to a certain degree.
There is a reason that many angels don't bother with the
possession method anymore, since it does come with drawbacks.
Angels who possess others are more vulnerable to certain spells
and sigils that can be used to grant temporary control back to
the original person, which is even more dangerous to those that
try to use trickery to possess people. Another item that that
works very well is an item developed by the British Men of
Letters (available in both London and Olympus), which is a pulse
generator that is capable of being activated and almost
instantly casting an angel out of a person that is in range of
the pulse of the device. Typically, those possessing humans have
a bigger chance to gain new abilities in the long run, but are
more vulnerable to exorcisms as a result, so this can be a
danger to the angel. It is also worth noting that if a vessel
chooses not to let an angel possess them any longer, even if
they agreed initially they can cast out the angel if they have
the will to overpower the angel's will, and they can force out
the angel as a result.
- Most who have fought angels or fallen angels may know that an
angel's grace can be taken by slitting their throat in a certain
spot. When done, their power is depleted, and they lose most of
their abilities while they don't have grace. This is a good way
to not only de-power an angel or archangel, but can also be used
to take grace and some people have developed ways to inject it
into themselves to power themselves up with angel abilities,
like Asmodeus, who have used this method in the past to power up
angel abilities. If their grace is taken, they become mortal
until they recover their energy, which, depending on how much is
taken, can take anywhere from a day to weeks. This is the best
way to take out any angel or fallen angel, as without their
grace, they lose most of their abilities and are typically
reduced to being mortal as they lose even their angelic
regeneration if they don't have enough grace. This grace
typically acts like a power source for their holy energy, in
which they generate power for their bodies and spirits from
their grace. This not only puts an angel at a disadvantage, but
can actually be used against the angel by those that can use the
grace. However, it is not recommended to use this grace without
knowing how potent it is, as it has been known to burn people
from the inside out, even killing some who have tried without
knowing how to handle the power of the angelic grace. This is
especially true of archangel grace.
- There are plenty of exorcism chants and Enochian sigils that
can be used against angels. The most common one is an exorcism,
where the angel is typically sent back to heaven, or in some
cases, somewhere randomly in the world. This is usually done
with a special blood seal, which is commonly used by those who
have fought angels to cast them out of an area, and doesn't
require a chant or spell other than just putting their hand on
it to activate it. This only works once, but when used, this is
a very effective way to cast them out of an area temporarily.
Exorcisms are the same way, but rather they work through chants
and spoken spells rather than seals. Exorcisms simply require
the angel or fallen angel to hear the exorcism chant, and then
they are cast out, though one needs to be aware that fallen
angels and angels have different exorcisms that must be done.
Typically, spoken exorcisms last longer than just using a blood
sigil to cast them out. Being cast out with a sigil can usually
take up to an hour for an angel to return, though a true
exorcism chant or spell can send an angel away for up to a week.
However, these chants don't do damage to an angel, but are
mostly just designed to send them away which is useful for those
trying to run away from angels as it typically grants them a way
to cast angels out so they have time to escape.
- There are other sigils that are also effective against angels.
The first is an angel de-powering sigil, which when activated,
does exactly what the name implies. Any angels within a 20 foot
radius will temporarily lose their powers, including their
regeneration. This requires blood as well, drawing a series of
sigils that have to be written in Enochian. When used, they
de-power any angels nearby, though they have reduced effects on
archangels, since archangels are more powerful, though it does
reduce the power of an archangel temporarily. This works
temporarily, allowing opponents to fight angels more easily
while it's in effect. However, the angel's powers do return
after a while. The next sigil type is the angel trap, which is
designed specifically like the angel equivalent of a demon trap.
These are drawn on the ground or on a surface, and if an angel
walks on it, they are trapped in the circle, which removes their
power while they are in the circle thanks to the sigil being
similar to the de-powering sigil. And just like the de-powering
sigil, this has reduced effect on archangels, in which they
might be able to use some of their lesser abilities and not be
hindered completely when this is used on them. However, overall
these are two pretty effective sigils for de-powering angels.
- The next sigil that can be used against angels is an
imprisoning sigil, which can be placed on things like rooms to
trap angels in the room. Drawn in blood like many of the other
sigils, this can be activated by someone to trap an angel in a
room until they find a way to break out, with this being a great
way to temporarily imprison an angel. This can be very
effective, and while it doesn't stop them from moving or using
their power, their power cannot open up rooms that these sigils
are used one. These typically make great traps against angels,
since one can usually use this to trap an angel in a room if
they are trying to escape from an angel. The last sigil is one
that wards a place from being able to be found by angels. This
mark does more than just make something unable to be found
though, as it can also be used to prevent an angel from entering
a certain area, or be used to keep an angel from being able to
tell what goes on in an area, as this even makes it so angels
cannot hear what goes on in places warded against angels, making
it almost like a barrier that cuts off an angel's access to the
area that is warded. While angels can break through these in
groups, and archangels can more easily break these, they are
still fairly useful at times.
Personality: Jack has no filter in his brain when it comes to
being a smartass. He always says what's on his mind, no matter
what he's thinking. Jack has a strange personality disorder
where, due to trauma he suffered when young, he doesn't care
what comes out of his mouth, and is a constant talker as a
method of coping with situations. Jack will never hesitate to
miss an opportunity to be a smartass, and will usually never
hide his feelings toward someone. Some people find Jack
annoying, while some people find Jack funny, but pretty much
everyone gets tired of Jack after a while due to his constant
smartass personality. Jack also tends to be slightly ADHD, which
means that he can be more easily distracted by certain things,
and there are times when Jack can forget what he's doing if he
gets too distracted with something else. Jack often acts a
little younger than he actually is, and his teen spirit tends to
show when he is constantly acting like he knows everything. To
an extent, he does know a lot about certain things, such as his
extensive knowledge of fight clubs and fighting rings he's been
a part of since he was a child, as well as his extensive
knowledge of vehicles (which usually comes out when he's working
on motorcycles).
However, one of his major flaws is his pride, as he sees himself
as a pretty great person, and will show this when he thinks he's
better than someone. Jack is very stubborn because of this
pride, and this has gotten him into trouble, as well as it being
something people can easily exploit. It is also worth noting
that Jack operates on an honor code which he was taught by his
father, which mostly comes out in how he treats women both in
and out of battle. Typically, in a fight Jack will refuse to
fight a woman, and only defends himself against them. Jack is a
very stubborn person when it comes to this pride in his honor
code, even if it pisses off the people he's being honorable
towards. He makes certain exceptions during sparing, but won't
ever bring himself to hit a woman, as he was taught by his
father never to raise his hand to a woman. Jack will operate by
this honor code even if it means his death, as he agrees
completely with his father's moral code that he was taught.
Jack does also have a slight anger management problem, where he
will sometimes get mad and hit something. However, Jack has
trained himself never to hit someone out of anger, and he will
only ever punch things like walls, trees, or other objects when
he's angry. Despite his anger management issues, he manages to
control his anger enough that he doesn't hurt anyone, even if he
sometimes wants to. However, driving Jack to anger is somewhat
difficult, as most people are driven to anger first by Jack's
personality, and it takes a lot to make Jack truly angry.
However, another of his short-comings is that Jack can be
childish and dislikes losing in pretty much any kind of
competition, as evidenced by his time in the fighting ring where
he's rematched almost everyone who has beaten him in a fight.
In battle, Jack is pretty smart, but also a pretty good fighter
as well. Usually, Jack is pretty balanced between strategy and
combat focus. He won't hesitate to win a fight with combat
alone, but usually is a very good tactician to come up with the
best strategies to win a fight. While not as smart as some
smarter humans or supernaturals, Jack is still a pretty good
strategist.
Bio: Jack is yet another example of an angel hybrid who had been
being hunted down since he was a child by Sariel's forces. After
Sariel took over heaven, a lot of grand priest angels left for
fear of being hunted down by Sariel for being humans turned
angel. One such angel was Jack's father, who eventually hid out
on earth, and married a human supernatural hunter who would be
Jack's mother after Jack's father saved her from a demon
possession. However, when Jack was a child, Sariel found Jack's
mother and father, and, in a desperate move, Jack's mother cast
Jack to a random location using angel magic as Jack's mother and
father were killed by Sariel. After the death of his mother and
father, the random location put him into a fighting ring circuit
arena, where he was forced to fight for his life to survive as
the criminal circuit thought that he was a contender for the
fight, despite his young age. Much to everyone's surprise, Jack,
in a desperate bid to survive, managed to win the fight against
his opponent using his angelic power.
After the fight though, Jack was trained by another fighter who
found out that he was not a part of the fighting ring.
Afterward, he was taught by two martial artists, and taught how
to fight so he could fight in the ring, as the criminal group
refused to let him go after he managed to win his fight. Jack
fought for his survival in the ring for years before the FBI
managed to bust the fighting ring and manage to free all the
people who were kidnapped and forced to fight. Afterward, Jack
was able to live a free life, sometimes returning to the
fighting ring. Over the years, he even met Lei Sheng in the
fighting ring, but lost to her every time he fought her. Jack
continued fighting, as well as starting a hobby in automotives,
specializing in motorcycles.
Jack eventually also discovered that he was a reincarnation of a
god of calamity in the Shinto Pantheon that had been mostly
forgotten with time. After the death of the deity, the power was
put into Jack before he was born, and he became the new
incarnation of the deity. Jack started training in the Japanese
pantheon, and slowly started building up his new power as an
angelic demi-god, as Jack learned to use his angelic power and
deity power to become a somewhat unique deity in the Shinto
pantheon. However, Jack has no followers, and becoming a new
deity was much more difficult than he thought it would be, given
people's fear of the supernatural and it being hard to gain
followers as a normal human. Jack mostly started doing oddjobs
for people as a way to try and gain recognition, though without
a shrine, Jack has no real status in the Japanese pantheon. So
far, Jack has mostly managed to avoid most of the Christian
Pantheon, since he stays in the Shinto pantheon, but has had to
fight off Sariel and eventually Alternate Michael's forces in
the past. Now he mostly just travels the world, having no real
home, and does whatever he can, using money he earns doing jobs
to live on. Even though he could technically get a career as an
auto mechanic, or get official jobs, he mostly just travels,
trying to find his "place" in the world, as he feels that he
doesn't know what his purpose is.
