Exiles Profile: Zenrael
By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: May 10, 2020, 9:54 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"Such noisy pests... Why must humans make so much ruckus?"
"Aw. How cute... You think you're important..." - Zenrael Vobu
insulting someone who came to challenge him.
"Such weakness. You expect to defeat me with such little
ability? Shape-shifts large sharp teeth. I guess I'll just eat
you instead..."
"Such a big ego... You humans love your shows of power don't
you? He holds his hand out as he gets ready to take in the large
energy attack. Consume. He says, using the phrase to activate
his gluttony dark art to absorb the energy attack into what
appeared to be a black hole in his hand. Such attacks aren't
much of a threat to me..."
"You didn't need that soul, did you?" - Zenrael jokingly after
stealing someone's soul
"I don't expect your group to live long... But training you will
pass the time, so I'll give you a chance. I don't care how much
effort it takes, as long as you provide me some amusement." -
Zenrael to a group he was helping
"You want to kill me, Castiel? Do you know how many angels I've
killed? How many demons? Go give your older siblings a call.
You'll need them unless your only plan here is to just throw
your life away." - Castiel confronting Zenrael.
"Don't call me 'brother'... My real brother is dead because of
you angels. I will never forgive you people for what you did and
I will keep fighting even if it's just to get in your way and
make humans see your true natures." - Zenrael to an angel from
his universe.
"It's true... I can't kill you Michael... But I can take your
head and to put it in a jar so you can't regenerate... A fate
worse than death. How about this... You leave me alone and I'll
leave your precious daughter and her friends alone. That should
be fair. Unless you WANT me to eat their souls for lunch. I
don't like getting on Death's bad side, but for you I'd be
willing to make an exception..." - Zenrael to his universe's
Michael
"Calling humans 'insects' is an insult to insects... Because at
least insects know their place in the world. They don't have the
egos to do what humans do, and aren't even as big of an
infestation as humans are. Don't take it the wrong way... I
don't want them dead... I just want to teach them some humility.
Heaven and Hell have both given humanity some big egos thanks to
them constantly interfering in human lives... I just come in to
restore the balance."
"I suppose the reason I do what I do... is that I enjoy watching
strong people break. People who think they have it all, and then
they are brought down to having nothing... It's entertaining to
strip away their power. In my long years of life... It's really
the only hobby I've found that stuck."
"The next 'Lucifer'... That's what they called my brother, Vobu,
when he became a demon... They pushed him to killing angels to
defend himself. Then when they cast him out and he choose to
become a demon, they attacked him to try and finish him off. His
only crime was defending himself against bullying siblings...
When he snapped and had enough, Heaven treated him like he'd
done wrong, so we left... I stuck to my brother and together we
started our own path. A fallen angel black rabbit and a demonic
white rabbit... Of course... Then Heaven came and killed him...
And I got tired of that 'next Lucifer' crap they said when they
tried to justify killing my brother. Even Hell refused to let my
brother join them because they were scared of his power and him
wanting to devour the angels and turn humanity into a snacking
ground since he was forced into eating souls and blood for
power. So now I fight the system that Heaven has put up...
Because my brother didn't deserve death for just becoming a
powerful demon, and he didn't deserve to be cast out in the
first place... So I'll use my dark arts to slowly turn humans
against the angels and demons."
When a member of his forces brought him a human.
Zenrael: What are you doing with that human? He asks curiously.
Ally: You said you needed souls... So I brought you a fresh one.
Zenrael: Looks at the person with his sixth sense So... You'd
have me eat this person?
Ally: Of course... No one is going to miss them. This person has
no friends or family.
Zenrael blasts the ally across the room angrily as his voice
becomes dark.
Zenrael: Fool... This soul will go to Heaven when they die. Are
you TRYING to get me on bad terms with Death? If I go around
eating good souls, I'll draw attention that could get me killed.
Even I can't kill Death.
Ally: But... He won't care... He says as he tries to get up, but
stays on one knee.
Zenrael: No? You're a fool if you think that... I'd be better
off eating you... He says as his teeth sharpen as he walks over
to the ally. You're soul is going to hell, so Death won't miss
you... He says with a smile as he opens his mouth and eats the
ally, as the ally screams in horror as he sees Zenrael's mouth
open and come down on him. After eating him, he goes back to
normal. He then looks to the human who was still unconscious.
Now what to do with you... If you do have no one... Perhaps I
should see about having you work for me? I do seem to be...
Looks at blood leftover of the ally. short... one member... You
can't be worse than he was. He says with a smile.
"Oh... So you met Vobu? That little angel was my brother. He
used to be an angel who was as innocent as he looked when in his
white rabbit form. I didn't know he helped your clan. I'll help
your clan in his place. He'd probably have helped you before if
he'd been alive, so I'll help you now. He smiles. For a price of
course. You'll pay it up when I choose..." - Zenrael to the
Hazeldines after they called for help during the
Darkfire/Hazeldine war in his universe
"He's one of the best dark arts users in the world... And one of
the people who taught humanity the dark arts during the
Heaven/Hell war out of boredom. The Hazeldine Clan is indebted
to him... And I fear what he will ask for keeping us from nearly
being all killed by the Darkfires. He may seem short and not
that intimidating at first, but don't let him fool you... If
there were unique archangel versions of the fallen angels, he'd
probably be one of them. We know he will one day ask something
of us... And unlike my father, I don't want to now what it is.
Because the Hazeldines could very well turn into enemies of the
world if he has his way. We don't want to help him, but he has
the power to destroy the bond to our demons, and without those
bonds, the demons would take over and eventually we'd become
enemies anyway." - Alison Hazeldine, the twin sister of Alice
Hazeldine, about Zenrael in their universe
"Grigori. The watcher angels. Some of the lore says that they,
uh, they help people, and some says that they prey on people." -
Dean Winchester reading a book on the Grigori angels
Name: Zenrael "The Black Rabbit" (Alternate Dimension Version)
Age: Unknown
Species: Fallen Angel Grigori with Dark Arts Abilities
Gender: Male
Hunter Group/Team: Works for Phantom and operates Vobu's bar,
The Rabbit's Nest alongside Vobu
Weapons:
- Modified Pistol with Darkstone Ammo: This gun is Zenrael's
main weapon in battle, where he has two of these guns that carry
19 rounds in their clips. This weapon is a custom pistol
designed for Zenrael. Zenrael modified his twin guns mostly so
that he could focus his dark arts through the bullets and the
gun itself. These guns are like typical 9mm guns, with the
exception that Zenrael can focus dark arts through his gun to
either strengthen his bullets, or even speed up his bullets. The
first is where he enhances the power of his bullets and the
darkness around the bullet becomes like a night spear dark arts
attack. This allows his bullets much more piercing power, and
even increases the damage done by the bullet. The second is
where the dark energy speeds up the bullet, designed to shoot
fast supernaturals. These guns are specially designed, and can
even be focused with Zenrael's black lightning to blast
opponents with his black lightning focused through the bullets.
The ammo for this gun involves using a rare dark arts created
metal called Darkstone. This bullet is special in that it is
designed to drain the life force of anyone it comes into contact
with, slowly draining their life force until it reaches zero and
they die. As their life force is drained, it heavily weakens the
opponent or person shot, making it harder for them to fight.
Even regeneration cannot stop this from killing someone, due to
the darkstone still working even if the wound is regenerated
around the bullet. The effects can be slow depending on the
person, but the result is the same unless the bullet is removed.
However, supernaturals with more life force take longer to kill
with this.
- Angel Sword (Grigori Angel Blades): The Grigori were a special
angelic elite unit, and had special weapons as a result of their
status. Unlike normal angel blade, these blades are longer and
designed to be more like smaller swords than knives like typical
angel blades. This is designed to do more damage to angels and
demons, and can work fairly well against angels, demons and even
higher level beings. Since the Grigori blades were designed to
be used against high level opponents, the blades, when wielded
by a Grigori, are able to even kill archangels and demon
princes, assuming the blade hits the heart or brain. However,
unlike archangel blades, it usually takes multiple strikes
before it can kill an archangel or demon prince, since these
blades aren't as strong as archangel blades. These sit somewhere
between angel blades and archangel blades in terms of ability,
and while they can kill everything normal angel blades can kill,
they can also kill certain things archangel blades work on, but
require multiple strikes before being able to kill high level
beings. Every Grigori sword is designed and the angel's name is
engraved on the blade in Enochian, which marks each blade for
each Grigori angel.
Fallen Angel Abilities:
- Evolved Grigori Fallen Angel: The Grigori, also known as the
Watchers in some texts, are a class of elite angels that were
above normal angels but below archangels. However, many of them
feel for a few reasons, some wanting to take human wives (which
was forbidden by God in the old testament days), and some just
thought they were above angels. Most of the Grigori are now
fallen angels, since not many of them remained in Heaven.
Zenrael chose to leave heaven after his brother, Vobu, was cast
out for defending himself when he killed a group of angels who
were bullying him for being weak. After drawing on the dark
arts, Zenrael and Vobu were cast out of Heaven by Sariel after
Zenrael tried to defend Vobu, but chose to be cast out rather
than stay in Heaven without his brother. For the most part,
Zenrael has become one of the strongest Grigori still alive
through feeding on human souls, a dark art many of the Grigori
used after falling, and Zenrael slowly grew his power through
feeding on humans to the point that he now is strong enough to
even fight some archangels and demon princes (though not the
more powerful ones like Michael and Lucifer) in terms of his
ability, despite him not being as strong as one directly. He has
devised special arts for killing demons and angels, which he
teaches to any fallen angels that still want to fight against
Heaven and Hell. Unlike demons, the fallen angels don't really
care about the wars and conflicts, but mostly just care about
doing whatever they desire on earth, which even Zenrael lives
by. Zenrael is perhaps one of the toughest known fallen angels.
- Grigori Watcher Animal Shift/Fallen Battle Form Shift: Zenrael
and his brother, Vobu were part of a special sub-unit of the
Watchers, where they would watch humanity from behind animal
forms they would take. However, after their sub-unit became
fallen angels, they repurposed these forms into special battle
forms using special dark arts, and turned them into special dark
forms they can take. While they can still take their normal
animal forms, they usually fit in more in their human forms, and
only use these forms for special battle forms. In the case of
Zenrael, he took the form of a small black rabbit with red eyes,
and this form remains his animal form today. For Zenrael, his
battle form is what appears to be a rabbit monster with yellow
eyes (reflecting his fallen angel yellow eyes), and is roughly
about 3/4s the size of Zenrael's normal human-like form he
takes. Both his human and battle form are both designed to be
used in battle, but the battle form is smaller and harder to
catch, in which Zenrael uses his speed and agility of a rabbit
to outmaneuver opponents. Zenrael's battle tactics are usually
designed for speed over strength, so this also reflects in his
shorter battle forms, though part of this is also because he is
a very short person, with him being shorter than most adults,
and people mistaking him for a kid.
- Grigori Watcher Farsight: Both Zenrael and his brother Vobu
were once watchers of humanity, which granted them special sight
to watch humanity from a distance as it was their job as part of
the Grigori. The watchers main focus was watching mortals and
the world around them, something that angels did to watch humans
of interest. Those who become or are born as fallen angel
watchers eventually started using this to watch humans of
interest to them, in order to find people they could make
manipulate or get to work for them. This power lets a watcher
see anything in the world they want by focusing their sight
where they want and can even perceive what goes on in a given
area they're watching. This power lets the watcher watch almost
any event they want from a safe distance, as they are able to
keep tabs on almost every major group in the living world as
long as they know where they are. This power lets them focus
their senses to other places, but thanks to their enhanced mind
and focus, they are able to use this without focusing completely
on another area, and can watch an area and focus on the area
around them as well, making this a good way to watch what goes
on in the world while still keeping themselves from being
surprised by what goes on around them. For the most part, many
use this just to keep track of what's going on in the world, as
this isn't really a battle tactic, but just something they use
to watch from their small corner of the world.
- Aura of the Fallen: Among fallen angels, just like angels,
they have their own aura that is generated from their bodies.
Just like the light that comes from an angel that powers their
being generated by their spirits, fallen angels have a more
corrupted light that comes from their being due to them falling
from grace, and this shows in their abilities. Their aura
becomes a type of corrupted holy energy that is generated from
the corrupted light of their being, and acts like the main power
source for their abilities, with their power being the same as
an angel being powered by holy energy. This aura is a fallen
angel's main power, and not only powers their abilities, but
also acts similarly to other auras as a defense that dampens
attacks used on them. This aura, as one might expect, does still
operate like other aura in that it can be used to enhance
certain skills like regeneration and other abilities using the
aura as a power source. This aura, like many others, can also be
more easily pierced by aura breakers, which can break through
this aura instantly. In addition, typically neutral powers tend
to work better on breaking this aura, though certain holy and
demonic skills can counter this aura as well with the right
strategies.
- Fallen Light/Fallen Twilight: For fallen angels, their light
is often referred to as "fallen light". This corrupted light is
generated from their aura of the fallen, in which they have
learned to weaponize the light as well to battle opponents.
Typically, they are able to use this light to do things like
create light attacks, fire light beams, and some can even create
specific corrupted light types. However, the main thing to note
about this power is that it is a type of corrupted light that
does damage to light and dark users alike. This power is a basic
power that runs on their aura, which generates this light. The
second power is when a fallen angel has mastered darkness
manipulation alongside their fallen light. Once a fallen angel
has reached a certain level at the level between angel and
demon, they might actually gain a darkness power as well as
light, which they fuse to their fallen light to create fallen
twilight. Their fallen twilight is their response to powers like
celestial force and demon aura, which they use their fallen
twilight to battle opponents with higher level demon and angel
powers. Their twilight is very strong, and only usable by those
that have mastered their fallen angel power. While their
twilight is more powerful though, it is also uses more power
than normal fallen light, while fallen light is weaker but uses
less power. Typically, while their light and twilight are
corrupted powers, they are still counterable as normal as long
as light or dark users don't try to absorb them. Since Zenrael
is a master darkness user (see dark arts abilities for darkness,
abilities), he is a master user of fallen twilight, even being
one of the people who helped come up with the power during the
early days of man.
- Demon-Killer/Angel-Killer Spears of Fallen Light/Twilight:
This is a power that was used by fallen angels specifically to
fight angels and demons, since they would often find themselves
enemies of both angels and demons. This power is one where a
fallen angel would weaponize their fallen light into a spear or
weapon, and then either make the weapon explode when thrown, or
use it to stab someone. These weapons of fallen light and fallen
twilight (if the fallen angel can use fallen twilight) are
designed specifically to burn the very natures of angels and
demons, in which the corrupted nature does damage to both their
physical body and their spiritual one. For example, if a demon
possessing a human is struck by one of these spears of fallen
light, it will do damage to both the demon and the human, even
if the demon is not in direct control at the time. This power
can actually kill an angel or demon if their heart is struck
with it, since this power can actually destroy an angel's nature
with enough power. Typically, it takes more than one strike to
kill an archangel or more powerful angel, but can still do
pretty good damage. This power can help them against higher
level angels and demons, and hurts angels and demons quite a lot
if it hits them. This power also does intense damage to light
and dark users, even if they aren't angels or demons, though the
ability to kill a being with the corrupted light or twilight is
only specific to angels and demons since that's what this power
was designed for. This power can also counter things like demon
hellfire and angelic divine lightning (which is more a holy
energy variant that they use), as it's designed to counter these
powers. Usually, the best way to counter this is with other
darkness and light abilities, or counter with other energies
that can counter their fallen light. As long as the angel or
demon doesn't get hit, this won't affect them.
- Corrupted Earthly Element Manipulation: Unlike those who use
heavenly or demonic elements, fallen angels learn earthly
elemental manipulation mixed with their corrupted power. They
are able to use up to three corrupted elements, which are used
instead of things like divine lightning or hellfire since the
fallen angels have different affinities than they did as angels.
The corrupted elements operate just like their typical elemental
counterparts, and the fallen angel can have affinities for
different elements depending on who they are and what powers
they have. For some, this power works great for countering some
demonic and angelic power, since most angels and demons have a
predictable use of things like divine lightning and hellfire,
with certain exceptions. These elements work just like their
typical counter parts in both strengths and weaknesses, with
each element being counterable by another. The ability to use
the element also would depend on the fallen angel's knowledge of
elements and how creative they can be with their elements. Each
fallen angel can learn up to three elements, with some having
unique abilities using elements depending on how they use their
elemental abilities. Of course, as stated, the counters to these
elemental powers remains the same as countering normal elemental
powers. These elemental powers can be stronger or weaker
depending on the fallen angel's knowledge of earthly elements.
- Corrupted Smite: With fallen angel power, all fallen angels
still have enhanced smiting abilities which are changed slightly
when they become fallen angels. 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 or angels
out of humans. When used through physical contact, the fallen
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 it takes less time unless the fallen angel is seeking to
destroy a presence rather than just exorcise it. This time it
takes to destroy a presence or exorcise it also depends on the
creature, it's strength and the type of fallen 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. The
last thing to note is that fallen angels, like angels, cannot
exorcise presences as strong or stronger than them, and can only
exorcise presences weaker than them. The only real difference
between this and an angel's smiting ability is the fact a fallen
angel can cast out demons and angels, and uses fallen light
instead of normal holy power.
- Fallen Angelic Possession: Typically angels fall into one of
two categories when they come to earth in how they choose to
interact with mortals, which also applies to fallen angels. 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.
- Fallen Angel Shapeshift: Some angels (or in this case fallen
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, which also applies to fallen angels as they continue to
have this ability even after falling. 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.
- Fallen Angel Human Servant Resurrection: This power is used by
higher level fallen angels, where they take certain human souls
and make them servants of the fallen angel. After bringing them
back to life after death, they turn the human into a servant of
the fallen angel, even turning some certain souls into fallen
angels if they chose to want to create a new fallen angel (But
this is limited, as fallen angels are picky about who they
choose to become fallen angels). This power is designed to be
used on humans who have died, and to get powerful humans to
become servants for them. Typically, the person bond to the
fallen angel that turns them into a servant becomes their new
master, and the fallen angel make them do whatever they desire.
While some human servants mostly just become errand runners,
some have more useful purposes such as finding new servants, or
some might act as body guards to fallen angels if they manage to
turn powerful warriors to their side. The person bound to the
angel can resist this binding, but the fallen angel can use this
bond to torture the bound human with their corrupted nature,
using it as a feedback to keep their servants in line. In
addition, the servants bound to the fallen angel can only be
freed if the fallen angel freely lets them go, or the fallen
angel dies. This does have to be used on someone not only dead,
but someone the fallen angel can bring back, though some fallen
angels might bring back bodies without souls so the person isn't
emotionally attached to their old life. Typically, those bound
to fallen angels can earn their way to becoming fallen angels
depending on the fallen angel they serve and their desires to
promote them, though this is very rare to actually happen since
most fallen angels try to avoid this as souls being twisted into
fallen angels could attract unwanted attention from heaven and
hell. Usually, humans are the best choice, since fallen angels
can get their souls pretty easily from the Veil, though
supernaturals are harder due to their souls going straight to
Purgatory or the Empty depending on where certain people go
after death.
- Fallen Angel Servant Empowerment: Instead of an angel
empowering humans, fallen angels have their own unique methods
of empowerment. For the most part, this is used after they use
special binding to bring back someone as their servant, in which
fallen angels empower their servants. Usually this involves
things like teaching certain skills to their servants, or even
giving them special weapons made from their fallen light so they
can fight angels and demons. Depending on the angel and their
abilities, the fallen angels have a variety of ways to empower
their servants, which they use their power to make their
servants strong enough to fight most of their battles for them.
This empowerment can also increase their physical abilities,
amping up their servants to be able to take on higher level
supernaturals. This is partially why they choose strong humans
to turn into servants, since this amplification can turn them
into even more dangerous opponents once bound to the fallen
angel. To an extent, this can be done to humans and
supernaturals, though supernaturals being bound to fallen angels
is rare. This empowerment only works on those that are brought
back and bound as their servants, and can only be used on those
that aren't angels, fallen angels, or demons unless they were
turned by the fallen angel. Usually, the most common thing
besides physical amplification is dark arts amplification, or
fallen light empowerment to grant their followers stronger
abilities. Usually this will depend not only on the fallen
angel, but the servant as well.
- Fallen Angelic Enochian Warding: Since fallen angels find
threats against demons and angels, they have their own special
warding skills similar to angels, but are designed to be used in
two different capacities. The first is that they are able to
ward against angels, and the second is warding against demons.
Unlike angels, fallen angels have enemies in both heaven and
hell, so they have to prepare appropriately. As such, they have
similar warding abilities to angels, except that they are able
to choose wards against angels or demons, having their own
warding style that is used. Their style is a mix of Enochian and
biblical Hebrew, using special wards that are designed to allow
them to do the same wards as angels. Due to this unique ward
setup, normal angels are affected by angel wards, and demons are
affected by demon wards. These wards can not only be burned on
items and places, but can also be burned into people as well,
allowing them extra defense against angels or demons depending
on the fallen angel and person they're warding. Usually, they
will ward their servants so that they are able to more easily
fight angels and/or demons, depending on what wards they burn
into their human servants. For the most part, these wards are
slightly different from angels, but overall work the same way.
Usually, fallen 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 and biblical Hebrew
(which is different from modern Hebrew) 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 and biblical Hebrew 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 demon warding on an area, or
warding against possession might not work in certain
circumstances if the opponent is stronger than the ward.
- Enochian/Biblical Hebrew Exorcisms: Unlike angels who use pure
Enochian exorcisms, fallen angels have their own brand of
exorcism chants and spells, in which they use a blend of
Enochian and Biblical Hebrew to create a unique type of
exorcism. Unlike normal writing, Hebrew is written right to left
instead of left to right like typical writing, so this reflects
in their spells, at least the ones that are written. Fallen
angels use these exorcisms to cast demons to hell, but also can
use these to cast angels back to heaven, in which they can use
either chants or sigils to banish beings. Most fallen angels
don't care about a vessel's life, so they mostly use these as a
means to power the presence out of the being more quickly than
normal exorcisms, even if it damages the vessel. This mostly
works just like normal exorcisms, but work much faster than
normal exorcisms and are more powerful. When used, these wards
can also keep angels and demons in their respective places of
origin longer, up to a month. Depending on the presence, they
have exorcisms for other creatures too, like banishing certain
things back to their origin places like sending death wraiths
back to the Shadow Realm, or soul reapers back to the Soul
Society. For the most part, they are usually pretty prepared,
since they tend to deal more with creatures like reapers than
angels and demons due to them constantly seeking human souls to
turn into servants.
- Angelic Sleeping Touch: This lets an angel (or in this case,
fallen 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. For fallen angels, they don't use this as much,
and mostly just use it to knock out bothersome underlings to
their main enemies rather than fighting someone they see as
weak.
- Fallen Angel Teleportation/Space and Time Travel: This ability
is one that most angels share and fallen angels share as well,
in that almost all angels and fallen 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 fallen light for fallen angels), or some might vanish, or
some even leave flurries of angelic feathers from their wings
(Angels typically leave behind white feathers, while fallen
angels leave behind black feathers) behind as they teleport
away. When used, the angel does have to know where they are
going, or else they might end up somewhere randomly. 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 fallen angels
usually only travel earth and the Veil, 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, something that
even fallen angels can do as well. 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, and some
fallen angels have also done this, disguised as angels, to
misguide humans. 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.
Dark Arts Master Abilities:
- Dark Arts Experts/Fallen Angel Arts: Instead of summoning
powers from heaven or hell, many fallen angels have developed
their own methods of dark arts, in which they developed special
arts that were designed to kill angels and demons alike. This
power runs on the fallen angels corrupted natures, and uses
their aura of the fallen as a power that runs these special dark
arts. Being experts, there are many dark arts they are skilled
in, and have made many different types of spells and abilities.
For the most part, their spells fall into specific categories,
with each fallen angel usually being able to learn up to four
dark arts types. These dark arts are all unique, and designed by
fallen angels to defeat and/or kill fallen angels, using the
same concepts as their spears of light in which they focus their
corrupted power to do damage to an angel or demon's being. These
arts range from simple attack or defense arts to even things
like necromancy and forbidden arts that they can use if they are
skilled enough. Fallen angels that learn this first have to
learn to use dark power, and use this instead of certain heaven
and hell summoning (though they can learn to do heaven or hell
summoning if they are able to use certain special dark arts.
Most of these dark arts are based in dark power, and can be
countered by the right demonic or holy arts that act as their
counters, such as using holy arts to counter dark attack arts.
Creative enough opponents can also use other energy powers to
block these arts as well.
- Dark Arts Activation Types: With any magic, dark magic or holy
magic, it's always important to know the types of magic and
activations that magic uses. There are many types of
activations, and depending on the type a fallen angel chooses,
their dark arts could change completely depending on the arts
used and the activation types used. The most common are usually
instant activation spells. These use more power, but don't
require any preparation and can be used in an instant. While not
as powerful as other spells, instant activation spells are easy
to use and are usually very fast to pull off compared to other
spells. The second is incantations, in which physical
incantations are used to trigger more powerful spells. For the
most part, this usually takes slightly longer, as incantations
require a phrase or word to be spoken before the user can
activate their magic. However, some have come up with their own
ways of activating magic, with the most common being shortening
phrases to only a word or two through special phrase training.
Once done, usually some of the power is sacrificed to
essentially shorten the phrase so that users can fire the spell
off more easily. There are others as well, such as enchanting
objects with spells ahead of time which can allow use of
powerful spells, but usually only having limited casts before
having to be recharged, or there are also other activation types
that require different ways to activate. This depends mostly on
the user, but each user must have one activation type in order
to use dark arts, since this activates the spells. Some can even
learn multiple types, which can open up options for many
different types of spells. For the most part, Zenrael has a lot
of spells that are activated using phrases, usually short
phrases after training to shorten them. He also has instant
activation and some physical activation spells that require
certain motions to activate as well. However, his activation
types are mostly centered around short phrases.
- Dark Arts Darkness/Corrupted Darkness Manipulation: Once a
fallen angel dives into the dark arts, they must learn to use
darkness as their main power, drawing shadows using their aura
of the fallen to generate the darkness that is the main
manifestation of their dark arts. By using their fallen light to
generate darkness with their light, they take control of the
darkness and use it for their dark arts. Similar to other dark
arts users, fallen angels use this darkness manipulation not
just to power dark arts, but can also use it to attack
opponents. Using darkness, they can control shadows and use the
shadows to attack opponents to do things like create shadow
attacks, create liquid-like shadows to consume opponents, or
some advanced darkness users can even use darkness to bend
gravity to a degree. In addition, fallen angels that gain this
art also can create corrupted darkness, where they corrupt the
darkness they create with their fallen light to create a
powerful corrupted darkness that can also be used the same way,
but still be used to fight other darkness users (specifically
corrupted darkness works great on demons with darkness power and
beings that use shadows like death wraiths). Overall this
darkness can be used on it's own just like one might expect, and
it's strengths and weaknesses are just like that of normal
darkness users. For the most part, light is the usual counter,
or certain other energy users can also find other creative ways
to counter a fallen angel's darkness or corrupted darkness.
- Dark Arts Master's Presence: Zenrael has a very powerful
presence, one which often affects the environment around him.
Zenrael's presence not only strengthens dark spirits and
strengthens evil abilities, but most spirits often flee when
even close to Zenrael. Most spirits that control the elements
are usually driven out of an area by his very presence. This
often makes Zenrael's presence able to effect the environment in
a multitude of ways. This could be as simple as dangerous storms
appearing, or the thing that most often happens is that living
things like plants and animals around him start to rot away and
die. This is most often happening to plants, but animals can be
affected too if they are too close to his general presence.
Humans and supernaturals can resist this effect, but for the
most part, Zenrael's presence is a big negative influence on the
world whenever he's around. In addition to that, the absence of
spirits in an area means that there is no regulation of the
environment, so random things can happen, such as storms in dry
places, humidity in places with dry air, or wind suddenly
stopping when in his presence. This effect happens most on earth
and wind, which can also effect those that use earth and wind
powers from being able to do too much damage to him. This does
make him much easier to find though, since his effects on places
are easy to spot.
- Dark Arts Blood/Flesh Consumption: In addition to souls,
Zenrael also takes the blood and flesh of victims to feed his
body's hunger, in which his dark arts leaves him hungering for
power to replenish his dark arts power. In a manner similar to
his soul devouring, his body also hungers, in which he feeds it
the blood and flesh of victims he has a chance to devour. He
often devours a person completely, also eating their soul in the
process when he uses this. His ability to devour blood is
actually very similar to a vampire and many types of werewolves,
essentially working the same way except that Zenrael doesn't get
special abilities from supernaturals he eats like most beings
that eat others. The first portion of this power is just him
using this to survive, feeding his body so that he can continue
to keep going. This also helps feed his rabbit form, in which
his twisted battle form also uses people he devours to power his
twisted rabbit-like battle form. Usually, Zenrael shape-shifts
his mouth to eat others somewhat similarly to a leviathan (one
of the first beasts), and some angels who know the leviathans
often consider him a fallen angel version of a leviathan in a
lot of ways. While his hunger isn't endless like his brother's
was, Zenrael still has to feed on people to keep his dark arts
powered, as well as feeding on souls.
- Dark Arts Master Time/Space Disconnection: Zenrael is not
affected by time or space manipulation abilities, specifically
time stops or time travel powers. Being disconnected from time
and space, Most dark arts masters like Zenrael are not affected
if time is changed, including Zenrael himself. This means that
things like time stops, time reversals, or even time
acceleration powers have no real effect on Zenrael. Some have
tried to go back and time and change the event that turned Vobu
and Zenrael evil, but with Zenrael and Vobu not affected by time
shifts, they usually kill the person trying to change time.
Zenrael is unaffected by timeline shifts, and for the most part,
any time traveler will often spark more abnormalities in a
timeline by trying this on trying to change time when it comes
to Zenrael. Zenrael is also able to use this disconnection to be
immune to time and space distortions, including those with
special time/space distortion energies since he is not affected
by these distortions. For the most part, this means that thinks
like distortion energies used by certain time lords are not able
to hurt Zenrael at all.
- Soul Absorption/Soul Eater Forbidden Dark Art: This is part of
his Grigori soul eater power, but also partially a forbidden art
that Zenrael mastered this single forbidden art. In order to
strengthen his ability to gain power from souls. This is a
common soul eater art which helps Zenrael not only gain power,
but also sustains his Grigori power after he feel after he used
this dark art. When his brother became a demon, Zenrael also
used this ability like his brother to make himself more
powerful. Zenrael is able to absorb soul energy from others,
whether it's small amounts or the soul itself. Usually, this
depends on when he uses it and how long he's using it on an
opponent. Usually, this can be used when an opponent is downed
and can't fight back to take small amounts of soul energy, or
used best when Zenrael eats someone to devour their soul by
devouring their bodies as well (which he also does). This art is
very useful, as it allows Zenrael to use the soul energy, and if
he absorbs a full soul, he can absorb new abilities depending on
what he wants to do (though usually he only uses this to absorb
new dark arts abilities). As one might expect, Zenrael is an
experienced soul eater, and typically, he avoids eating souls
directed towards Heaven, since he typically doesn't want to draw
the wrath of Death or Toranoraos due to him not wanting to have
them kill him for taking a soul he shouldn't, which is something
that has happened to allies of his, so he is very careful.
Typically, he only takes souls of those destined for hell, but
sometimes will make heaven sent people his servants, since it
isn't actually killing them or removing them completely from the
afterlife.
- Soul Eater/Dark Arts Power Gain: As one might imagine, the
main power among soul eaters is for gaining new abilities, and
for Zenrael, also sustaining his abilities as he is cursed
similar to his brother to always require souls or else he will
lose his gained power from souls over time. Zenrael has absorbed
many souls over the years, and uses their power in his dark
arts. The first use is that the souls sustain Zenrael's power,
in which he has to feed on souls to survive after feeding on
souls when he became a fallen angel. Due to the curse on him, he
has to keep eating souls or he will lose his power, which would
result in him not being able to keep up with high level demons
and angels that typically come after him to kill him. The next
ability is where Zenrael uses this to gain powers from those he
takes souls from. Using this, he gains powers through dark arts
by absorbing souls, in which he gains powers through souls are
converted into dark arts power equivalents thanks to his skill
with dark arts, and his use of the forbidden arts has allowed
him to convert most abilities he gains into new dark arts
abilities rather than just gaining random powers. However,
because all of his arts convert to dark arts, they are all
weaker to holy arts, and any powers he gets come with both
strengths and weaknesses depending on the skills he gains. For
example, elemental dark arts are counterable by other elemental
arts, or dark attack arts would be counterable by other
defensive arts (holy or dark arts). Usually, Zenrael relies on
the fact that his dark arts are stronger than normal dark arts
users, and usually overpowers them with his arts.
- Soul Energy Dark Arts: Using his soul energy he's absorbed,
Zenrael is able to power his dark arts with soul energy
alongside his corrupted darkness, where his dark arts are more
powerful than normal dark arts due to this ability. By fusing
his soul energy with his dark arts, Zenrael has a unique form of
dark arts that he can use against opponents, where he can use
his soul energy to attack opponents, such as using telekinetic
attacks using soul energy, or even morphing/mimicking people
who's soul he's taken. These arts are typically standard of
those that use the soul absorbing dark arts, which are designed
around their own special move set. For Zenrael, this is also
combined with his ability to devour people as he can devour
their souls as well when he devours them. While eat bodies
doesn't do anything for him other than just satisfy his hunger
for a while, eating people is still useful since it does allow
him to eat the person and their soul. This art is dependent on
soul energy and how much Zenrael has determines how powerful
this art is. He has many souls in him, and many forms and
abilities he could take in order to battle opponents, from
ancient warriors to even modern supernatural hunters and
powerful supernaturals. Usually, as long as one can avoid being
eaten by Zenrael, they can usually avoid their soul being taken
by him. He can take some soul energy through physical touch, but
cannot take a soul from a body unless he kills the person first,
to which he usually does this by eating them. Other than being
eaten, his touch can only absorb small amounts of soul energy at
a time, and cannot absorb a soul completely, so only dying or
being eaten will allow him to take a soul.
- Unique Art: Dark Arts Empowerment/Granting: When Zenrael
empowers someone, he can choose to grant them certain dark arts
affinities, using his power as a dark arts master to boost their
dark arts affinity, often granting them more ability to use dark
arts. This is why everyone that works with Zenrael eventually
gains dark arts, since Zenrael empowers their ability to use
dark arts, and eventually they become strong enough to take on
most higher level supernaturals once they are strong enough in
the dark arts. He is able to grant them specific powers and
abilities, usually granting them a few abilities at a time so
the person isn't overwhelmed. He also does this as a method of
control, so that those he empowers don't grow in power to match
him (as unlikely as that would be), and uses this to maintain
and control his servant's dark arts abilities. As a result, he
can use this to empower his people with special abilities,
usually dark arts, or fallen light weapons to kill angels and
demons, or grant them enhanced physical abilities using his
power as a dark arts being. Most who work for him know that he
is the kind of person that will empower those loyal to him, and
those that are loyal to him will gain power through his
empowerment if they just work at serving Zenrael as best they
can, since Zenrael is actually a more surprisingly understanding
fallen angel than most would think. Due to Zenrael killing some
people who work for him who stupidly do things that might
endanger his groups, most think he's the type to kill anyone,
but overall he rewards loyalty to his cause as long as people's
mistakes don't cause major issues with heaven or hell, or risk
him being on a big entity's bad side like Death.
- Unique Art: Dark Arts Re-absorption: Similar to the Rangda
that serve Zenrael, Zenrael has the ability to draw out the
power he used to empower someone, in which he reabsorbs it.
After he empowers someone, their strength and knowledge grow in
the dark arts, making his empowerment unnecessary. As the person
empowered grows stronger in the dark arts, this empowerment is
not used as much, and becomes less powerful as it is slowly
overcome by the user's own dark arts power. When the person
reaches the peak of their abilities or a high enough level, they
push out the empowerment, since it's no longer used or needed,
and the power returns to Zenrael. As they grow, the power
Zenrael gains from reabsorbing the empowerment grows, making him
stronger as well. As such, this means that the more people he is
empowering, and the more power he gets back makes him far
stronger and helps him grow. He is also able to learn new dark
arts from his followers who develop their own dark arts, which
he encourages them to do, and helps them to develop their own
abilities rather than just teaching them all of his abilities
they may or may not have the affinity for. As a result, this
power helps Zenrael as much as it does the person who learns the
dark arts and their power becomes mostly dark arts rather at the
sacrifice of their holy affinity. The sacrifice of the holy
affinity is an effect of Zenreal's ability to grant affinity for
the dark arts, which Zenrael doesn't mean to happen, but just
happens. As a result of empowering someone's affinity for the
dark arts, it passively reduces their holy affinity until they
lose all of their holy affinity and have only dark arts
affinities. Of course, most who serve Zenrael don't care about
holy affinities anyway.
- Unique Dark Art: Gluttony: This is an art that Zenrael gained
from killing a giant back before most of the giants were almost
wiped out completely during biblical times. During a fight, he
used a soul absorption on a giant that granted him a unique
skill that the giant was known for, in which the giant was able
to use a special art to devour energy attacks. Zenrael is able
to use this as a dark art, consuming any energy that he desires,
as long as he knows the attack is coming. Zenrael almost always
activates this by using a phrase activation spell, which Zenrael
has shortened to: "Consume." This art allows him to create what
appears to be a small black hole in in his hand, and absorb the
energy inside as darkness swirls around him like a tornado.
During this art, anything that is drawn into the tornado is able
to be consumed if it is absorbed, and is eaten by Zenrael's
power. For the most part, this can consume anything, but unlike
his soul devouring abilities, Zenrael doesn't gain the abilities
or powers of what he consumes with this ability. Because Zenrael
hasn't embraced the full power due to the side effect of
insatiable hunger, he can only use this to absorb attacks,
usually energy, and absorb some solid matter if it can be drawn
in. However, this only works from his hand, and things drawn in
are only drawn in if they are in front of where his hand's black
hole is aimed at. This means that standing beside or behind him
will avoid this completely unless he uses it his other hand as
well, so opponents can actually trap him if they can get him to
use this to keep himself in place, as he has trouble moving
around if he has this active. This art is his most dangerous art
though, and not to be underestimated.
- Dark Arts Voodoo Doll/Voodoo Doll Weapon Magic Arts: Zenrael
has the classic voodoo doll magic that many voodoo magic people
are known for, which is part of his dark arts. In this, they are
able to create dolls connected to someone and use the dolls to
cause pain to the person connected. It is worth noting that
essence of the person being connected is required to do this, as
well as special hexes that must be used on the victim. When
properly connected, the dolls can be tortured in a number of
ways, causing pain to the person connected. While they don't
take the damage, they do feel the pain of anything done to the
doll, making it a good way of torturing someone without killing
them. There is another use for this, which is something Zenrael
and Vobu developed themselves. Zenreal is able to, instead of
using a doll to torture someone, fuse it into a weapon of his
choosing, making the weapon able to specifically kill the person
who's essence is in the doll. When used, this allows Zenrael to
tune weapons to kill specific people if he has a doll connected
to someone, which can essentially be designed specifically to
the person's weaknesses through a special hex that creates
special conditions for the weapon. This only works on two dolls
per weapon, and the weapons cannot be tuned to more than two
people, but doing this works great if Zenrael can manage to get
a doll of someone and tune a weapon he wields against someone
during a fight. This is a dangerous art, and one that only
Zenrael is fluent in currently as the technique is his own
design (And Vobu, but Vobu died long ago) that not even his
followers have been able to replicate as of yet.
- Dark Arts Reflection Manifestation: This is a specific dark
art that uses mirrors and reflections. Zenrael is able to use
this when he's in front of a reflective surface, where he turns
to his reflection and forces it out of the mirror or reflection
to manifest itself as a physical being. This essentially creates
a clone of Zenrael or someone who's being reflected in that form
they're reflected in, where it creates a copy that does
Zenrael's bidding. Normally, he only maintains a few at a time,
since it can take more power to maintain multiple reflections,
but usually, this will be good to create phantoms of himself to
fight opponents that are almost as strong as the original, a
technique he developed for fighting people he doesn't really
want to bother with. When manifested, the reflections are able
to fight using most of the same powers of Zenrael or the person
they're reflected from, with exception of not having any blood
(since they are manifested reflections and not physical beings)
and he can use this to interact with people without being
present. Zenrael is connected to the manifestation, able to
process what it sees, but Zenrael doesn't die when the
reflection is destroyed. While Zenrael doesn't really use this
against opponents he considers his equal, he does use it to
interact with people at times if he is busy or doesn't have time
to talk to someone, since he controls the clone, or uses it to
fight opponents he doesn't want to fight himself, or wants to
use a reflection of an enemy to fight the enemy.
- Unique Dark Art: Dark Spirit Dominion: This power is a unique
dark art that Vobu and Zenrael developed together as masters of
the dark arts. The two focused their presence in darkness to
control dark spirits, in which Zenrael is able to influence dark
spirits to do what he wants. Whether it's through control or by
offering them what they want, Zenrael has a good mastery of
turning many dark spirits to his side. These spirits include
certain dark creatures that aren't seen often in the real world,
like consumers and collectors, some of the most dangerous dark
spirit types. Most of these dark spirits come from the Shadow
Realm, usually from the parts that even most death wraiths
wouldn't traverse due to the things that lie in the depths of
the Shadow Realm. Zenrael is able to influence and control most
of these creatures, usually gaining their support in exchange
for something like souls, people to manipulate and feed on, or
just gaining more power from Zenrael's dark arts. Zenrael has a
lot of dark arts spirits that follow him, and Zenrael even
taught those under his command how to take vessels, in which the
dark spirits learned to use mortals for their own purposes.
Usually, there are two types of possession. Some choose forceful
possession, like consumers, who just want a vessel to interact
with the world to more easily interact with what they want to
eat or take. However, there are a lot of different spirits that
use willing possession, in which they make deals with beings in
exchange for letting them in (like certain djinn who grant
wishes in exchange for using a vessel as they want to). Due to
this fact, and the fact that the half that followed Vobu now
follow him after Vobu's death, Zenrael is now perhaps one of the
most dangerous fallen angels known, due to his influence with
dark spirits. Many of these dark spirits are very dangerous, and
most require a lot of power to destroy, or some even take
special measures to permanently get rid of.
- Unique Dark Art: Connection Breaker: Thanks to his dark spirit
dominion, and his training to understand spirits, Zenrael has a
connection to spiritual connections that surpasses that of most
beings. This art is a very dangerous art to opponents that
Zenrael has mastered. When using this, Zenrael can break a
connection between someone and something close to them through
physical touch. This can be a weapon connected to a user, or
even another entity that's connected to them. Usually this
involves breaking a connection to some sort of spirit, like
Zenrael being able to break the connection of the Hazeldine
demons through a touch, something he proved when he turned Alice
and Alison Hazeldine against each other by breaking the bonds of
Alison's demon and the demon took over her mind as a result of
the broken bond. This art is very dangerous to those that rely
on the power of spiritual connections, such as weapon spirits
(like soul reaper zanpakuto's, or intelligent weapons). When
used, the connection between the host and the spirit is severed,
and the host can no longer hear the spirit or weapon that was
connected to them which also cuts off their power gained through
these spiritual connections. This art can work against anything
with a spiritual connection, such as weapons or spiritual
connections. This can even break the bonds between an angel and
demon and their vessel, for which is what this art was
originally designed for. When used, this requires a touch, and
Zenrael knowing what spiritual connection he wants to severe.
Using his sixth sense, he can usually tell when someone has an
additional presence in them or connected to them, so he will
often use that to his advantage. However, thankfully, the bonds
are not broken permanently, and are only broken for up to 4
hours. As long as nothing happens, like the spirit taking over
the body or the death of the host, the connection can be
re-established. The other obvious way to avoid this skill is to
avoid being touched, as this art is used through physical touch.
- Unique Dark Art: Spirit Corruption: This is usually used to be
combined with his connection break skill, in which he corrupts
and manifests the spirit that he has severed in order to use it
to fight the person they were bonded to. This is usually used
for things like bringing out weapons/spirits bonded to someone
and manifesting them to fight their user. This works on many
types of spirits, with it working great on weapon spirits. Once
manifested, the spirits are temporarily corrupted, and then
turned on the user. When used against things like weapons,
Zenrael can use his corrupted nature to influence spirits and
this works until the spiritual being is beaten by the original
being and reclaimed (which happens automatically if the user
beats the manifested spirit). Zenrael can choose whether or not
he wants to do this, as it's not always beneficial (such as not
manifesting a Hazeldine demon so that the demon will take over
the mind when the connection is broken, which makes the user
lose control), so this depends on the situation. And unlike the
broken connection on its own, using this can actually strengthen
bonds of spirit and user if the user beats the spirit and
reclaims it, to which the spirit and user's connection is
automatically restored and can actually sometimes grant new
abilities when their bonds are restored. As such, there are
situations where this is useful, but at times, the best use of
this is to use this on his servants to have them fight their
weapons and spirits so that they strengthen their bonds with
them. This is usuable on enemies and broken connections, but
really depends on the situation on whether or not it will be
useful to Zenrael or not.
- Dark Arts Shape-shifting/Physical Amplification Arts: This art
is based around the dark art of physical change and physical
amplification. This art allows different physical arts to be
used using dark arts, which are more powerful than typical
physical amplification skills. This art has many different
applications, such as amping one's blood manipulation with
shadows to create black blood, shape-shifting the body into
different forms, or even just higher powered physical
amplification. This depends on the fallen angel's affinities,
and how they use this since there are many different options for
arts. Even when it comes to shape-shifting, some can do things
like give them animal characteristics, or might change their
bodies into weapons, or even shapeshift damage they take so that
it isn't as damaging. Usually, physical amplification through
dark arts is much stronger than normal physical amplification,
usually using dark arts to push the body beyond it's limits.
While more powerful than normal amplification arts, this can
also eventually do damage to the body if overused, though fallen
angels can get around this with fallen angel regeneration, but
it does still do damage the more that it is used. These arts are
also typically physical amplification or change, and can usually
be countered with other physical arts, or just outlasting the
amplification since this can't be overused by users. This is
something that Zenrael has partially thanks to being a Grigori,
and mostly uses this to change into his rabbit-like battle form,
but also lets him change his body as he desires and amplify his
abilities in battle.
- Dark Arts Shadow Attack Arts: These arts are fairly simple, in
which this mostly focuses on dark attack arts, usually ones that
are powered by darkness or corrupted darkness. These arts can
range from simple darkness spears, to creating constructs to
attack opponents with, or even creating darkness that has
special effects like draining life from their opponents. These
attack arts are usually fairly known by dark arts user, being
one of the most common dark arts types. There are many ways to
use dark attack arts, and one can even combine certain elemental
arts with dark attack arts that can create unique dark attack
arts depending on the fallen angel's skill level with their dark
arts. This art is fairly simple, and mostly focuses purely on
attack skills, usually ones that can hurt enemies. There aren't
a lot of defensive skills in this art, but those that master it
can usually attack opponents more than they typical defend
anyway. This is usually best used alongside defensive arts so
that a user can balance defense and offense, though certain
creative users can find other ways to defend themselves if they
are creative enough. These arts can be usually be defended
against since most are projectile type attacks. This can be
defended against with defense arts, holy or dark depending on
the defense if it is powerful enough. Zenrael is skilled in
these arts as well, mostly using phrase activations, such as "I
will pierce light itself" to fire his shadow spears that can
pierce through light shields/barriers, or "Crush them in
darkness" to create a powerful shadow box to crush opponents in
using darkness and gravity. His attacks are mostly ones he
helped teach to other dark arts users, but mostly has unique
ways of using these that typically overpower most users he
fights.
- Dark Arts Defensive Arts: These arts are based around support
arts, and defensive abilities. Those that are familiar with
defensive dark arts know how dangerous some of the skills that
are used, such as using dark enchantments to prepare spells
ahead of time, or using dark arts healing on themselves or
others. This art not only includes defensive arts, but also has
many different kinds of support arts as well. Among these arts
are things like healing, enchantment of items, and even a few
forbidden arts. These arts, of course, do also include a few
different kinds of defense arts, in which they allow things like
dark walls to be used to block attacks, or using using barriers
of darkness. Among certain defensive arts are also powerful
gravity arts that bend space and time, allowing for
teleportation, and allowing for things like curving space away
from the user, though this requires a lot of power to use. These
arts are also usually customizable, allowing for many different
kinds of ideas and adaptions. Most of these attacks are
defensive or support in nature though, and usually most of these
attacks cannot damage opponents save ones that are specifically
attack or turn an attack back on an opponent. These arts are
usually best handled by opponents with strong enough attack
spells to break these arts, or opponents just using their combat
abilities more carefully so the user doesn't have time to use
these arts. While not as experienced in these, he did gain a lot
of defensive arts from the souls he's devoured, like dark arts
healing, buffing himself and allies, and other defensive skills
like shadow barriers and shadow walls that can protect him,
sometimes even from light attacks.
- Dark Arts Necromancy/Doll Arts: This art is based completely
around necromancy and creating constructs to fight opponents.
Usually, there are two main uses for this. The first is simple
dark arts necromancy, which brings back dead bodies, allowing
the user to create servants from undead to battle opponents.
Usually, the bodies reanimated have the same abilities they had
in life, and are able to fight opponents as undead, ignoring
things like pain and damage as they do the will of the user.
This necromancy art is just like many other necromancy arts,
being pretty useful on battlefields where there are dead bodies
to reanimate. The second art is the doll art, where the user
creates a doll and fuses it to a soul they collect from the
battlefield to create a familiar from the doll. These dolls lose
their individuality, and become extensions of the user created
from the bonding of souls. Usually, this is for fallen angels
who want to focus on their ability to make servants, as this
grants more options. Both arts grant servants to use in battle,
with dolls being reusable as long as the fallen angel can
retrieve the soul before it moves to the afterlife, though this
isn't always possible in battle. Usually, necromancy is weaker
to holy arts, and undead are also usually weak to healing arts
which does damage to undead instead of healing them. For doll
arts, destroying the doll will prevent it from being able to
attack, as the soul is separated and usually will try to go to
the afterlife. This is an art that Zenrael can actually use
pretty well thanks to his soul eater art, where he can use his
soul infused dark arts to create undead with souls of those he's
taken, and can create doll-like familiars from souls inside him.
Elemental Dark Arts Abilities and Hell Summoning:
- Dark Arts Elemental Arts: While fallen angels are able to
learn elemental abilities, they are also able to apply their
elementals to their dark arts with special elemental arts.
Instead of corrupted elementals, they are able to use dark arts
elementals instead, which fuse darkness with elemental power.
The elementals still work the same way, but have a darkness
element to the elements. And once a user of this art gets to be
advanced enough in their skills, they can also use corrupted
darkness if they have the advanced darkness abilities in
combination with this art with enough training. This elemental
art can be used just like typical dark elemental magic, with the
fallen angels being able to control up to three elements
determined by their elemental affinities (which is determined
when they gain their corrupted elementals). As a result, these
elements are usually a more powerful type of elemental power,
and how the power is used depends on the fallen angel and their
knowledge of how the element works. For the most part, each
element has it's own strengths and weaknesses, which is
dependent on the element. Some users can also develop unique
abilities with each element, such as dark lightning using
darkness as a conductor. Of course, these elements are typically
countered the same as typical elements. For Zenrael, his
affinities involve mostly earth manipulation (specializing in
metal manipulation), and fire manipulation. These all are dark
arts equivalents, like dark earth, dark flames, and corrupted
versions of the two elements, but are still counterable like
their normal elemental counterparts.
- Dark Arts Heaven/Hell Summoning: Depending on the fallen
angel, some can use dark arts to use heaven or hell summoning
instead of dark elemental arts. Depending on what they want,
they are able to use this dark art to summon instead of using
typical summoning. When used, the fallen angel chooses either
hell summoning or heaven summoning and then can usually use up
to three or four skills depending on the fallen angel. It is
worth noting that the fallen angel does have to chose either
hell summoning or heaven summoning, as they cannot do both due
to the conflicting powers of Heaven and Hell. However, once they
choose, they can use particular summoning skills based on the
skills they possess. When used, these work the same as the
normal heaven and hell summoning, with the powers all having the
same abilities, but are just summoned using dark arts instead of
using angelic or demonic power depending on the summoning used.
This typically replaces a fallen angel's dark elemental arts,
mostly since these arts are also elemental in nature, and
usually holy or demonic depending on what's used. Each power
used for their heaven or hell summoning still works the same,
and has the same strengths and weaknesses, such as hellfire
being counterable by strong enough ice powers. Zenrael uses hell
summoning, much like his brother did and specializes in 3
specifically.
- Hell's Cage Hook Chains: This comes from the same area as the
Cage (and all the chains are connected to the chains around the
cage in some way), in which the user can summon powerful unholy
chains with hooks on the end designed to spear opponents and
weaken them. Those who are affected by this are slowly drained
of power as long as they are in physical contact with the chains
with the chains and hooks being of the same material that the
cage is made of. These can only be summoned from a 10 feet
radius of the user, as people can't summon them around an
opponent to simply surround them. If they are ensnared by these
chains, then the user can also summon the Cage's Lightning (if
the user can do it) as well to do extra damage to opponents.
These hooks are designed to not only spear people with the
hooks, but is designed so that the hooks can trap and be used to
contain if the user can get someone trapped in enough of these.
When created, these must come from a source, like ground or
objects, and cannot simply appear in the air due to needing a
solid place to form a link to the part of hell this resides.
These chains cannot be separated from the cage, and if the
portals to hell close, the draw the chains back to hell
forcefully, which means that this cannot be used to contain
people for too long, and cannot be used to drag people to hell
on it's own due to the portals only being big enough for the
chains and hooks and not for people to be dragged through. This
is Zenrael's primary hell summoning skill.
- 8th Circle Dark Demon Torturers: This lets the user summon
some of the dark demons from the 8th circle where those who
commit the sin of fraud go. These demons not only have unholy
power and powerful demonic energy, but are also extremely
strong, being able to tear people in half. These demon's sole
purpose is the torture of souls by tearing them into pieces as
they do in the darkness of the 8th circle. These demons can be 3
feet tall, or they can be up to 20 feet tall depending on the
demon. Most of these demons only live for one thing, and that's
for tearing people or souls apart. These demons can not only see
in the dark, but are empowered by darkness attacks as well,
being able to grow stronger in areas of complete darkness. These
demons will tear apart anyone they can get their hands on, with
this being one of the hardest hell generated powers to control
since the demons will do what they want rather than listen to
someone. Only demon summoners or people who know how to control
summoned creatures can fully control these demons, and even
doing so can be difficult. The demons will tear about the
closest people they can get their hands on, with them having a
major hatred for humans due to them being made in God's image
(since most of them hate God for various reasons). This is
Zenrael's secondary hell summoning skill, since Zenrael uses
this alongside things like necromancy and other dark arts to
control others, so he can take control of demons using dark arts
to put them under his command, to which he can also empower them
with darkness.
- 4th Circle Gold of Greed: In the fourth circle of hell, those
with the sin of greed are to suffer being consumed in a pot of
melted gold. This is a combination of an unholy power and an
earth metal power. This power acts similar to lava, and if it
hardens while on someone, it does powerful unholy earth damage
constantly until the gold is removed from the skin. Those that
dodge this power must be careful not to cool the gold if it hits
their skin as this can cause it to stick to the skin and harden.
This metal is demonic in nature like all of the hell generated
abilities, and has a demonic element to it that does demonic
energy damage. This gold can be used to fight opponents, with
molten gold being able to be used similarly to lava
manipulation. It can also be solidified into weapons, which are
highly conductive, making this great for metal and lightning
users. This gold is also in a molten form, which means that
until it's solidified, it has no ability to conduct electricity
or any magnetic properties, making it immune to lightning
abilities while in molten form. This is a combination of metal
manipulation and heat manipulation, creating a highly molten
gold that is designed to trap and contain opponents within.
Using the aura of greed, the gold is boosted by unholy power.
This gold can be best taking out by water/ice manipulation.
Zenrael can also use this, thanks to him having an affinity for
metal manipulation.
- Corrupted/Dark Earth Manipulation/Summoning: This is one of
Zenrael's major elements, where Zenrael is able to manipulate
the earth using his dark elemental arts and create corrupted
earth using his fallen angel power. Not only can he manipulate
the earth around him, he can summon earth to him from other
places in the world, such as summoning certain materials to him
that he wouldn't normally have access to. This is easily his
strongest element, which he has learned to manipulate many types
of earth in order to defeat his opponent, with his major
specialty being metal manipulation. Putting aside his other
elements, his earth manipulation allows him to manipulate many
kinds of materials, including metals, carbon, sand, dirt, stone,
and even use plant manipulation. Zenrael has a list of things he
can use in battle, and has learned to also do things like
creating weapons out of his dark or corrupted elements, such as
creating corrupted metal weapons he often summons to use against
enemies if his weapons fail. Zenrael is a very skilled earth
user, and has the knowledge of different kinds of earth and
materials he can use due to his immense experience and training
himself to learn many different types of materials, including
things like holy oil or iron which can do more damage to him.
While not as skilled as his brother at elemental arts (for the
most part) Zenrael still has plenty of arts to use, even if he's
not as knowledgeable about elements and conversions like his
brother was.
- Dark/Corrupted Earth Manipulation Elemental Conversion: One of
the first uses for earth users has to do with converting earthly
elements, which many earth users can learn to do. This power is
very similar to alchemy in nature, in which those with earth
manipulation can learn to change elements similar to alchemists.
However, this typically is hard to do, since converting elements
is not something someone can do easily. This is a basic earth
elemental ability, but just uses earth to use abilities that
would be similar to alchemy to the normal eye. With this, they
can change the form of things around them, from creating weapons
out of objects, changing the form of elementals (AKA absorbing
fire into rock to create lava) or using it to change something
into something else like changing elements around (IE combining
elements to create metal alloys). For the most part, this power
focuses on it's ability to change elements, in which many people
familiar with alchemy know that this art can change the forms of
things around them. This simply requires a knowledge of the
natural world, specifically a knowledge of elements and how to
convert them. Usually, this isn't as flexible as alchemy though,
and can only convert earthly materials, such as metal, crystals,
and other solid materials. This ability also cannot manipulate
living matter, since this is based in earth manipulation rather
than alchemy.
- Dark/Corrupted Metal/Crystal Summoning/Manipulation: This part
of his metal manipulation lets Zenrael control dark or corrupted
crystals and metals. This is usually among the first of
Zenrael's main abilities, in that he usually uses metal and
crystal before using most other types of earth. The main thing
he can do with this is create armors, weapons and shields out of
any metal or crystal he wants. This includes him being able to
use diamond, which he can do. Among strong metals he can use are
things like titanium, steel, and adamantium. His most notable
metal is silicon carbide, one of the strongest materials on
earth, which is a very strong metal, only second to special
metals like vibranium or adamantium. Zenrael can also use
special supernatural metals, like escamite, varanium, and
stilled silver. Zenrael can also use different kinds of crystals
for the same effect, allowing him to attack with these crystals
in much the same way as he does with metal. These are among the
toughest earth manipulations in his arsenal, aside from his two
most powerful materials. Of course all of his earth abilities
also have a dark or corrupted element, with his earth being his
main element. His metal and crystal manipulation can be more
easily countered by wind manipulation, or by those that can cut
through metal and crystal. It's also possible to use other
elements like magnetism to control the metal as well.
- Dark/Corrupted Weapons Creation: Using his earth manipulation,
Zenrael is able to create and control dark or corrupted earth
weapons out of any material he can summon. This lets him use
dark arts to create dark or corrupted weapons out of his earth
manipulation, whether it's for himself or others. For the most
part, he does this out of his metal and crystal manipulation,
which let him create weapons out of just about any metal or
crystal he desires. This also allows him to summon metals he can
use to create special metals, like varanium or stilled silver to
attack his opponents. He is able to create any weapon he wants,
usually sticking to knives, swords, or even guns when he needs
to. Because of this, Zenrael rarely carries weapons other than
his gun and Grigori sword, and just creates weapons out of dark
or corrupted elements in battle. As a result, all of his weapons
have dark or corrupted power, and do extra damage in addition to
any type of special damage they normally do. For example, he
could create a special dark iron sword to use against holy
spirits, or he could create a varanium sword to kill a
regenerating supernatural. This depends on what materials
Zenrael wants to use, or summon to create weapons out of. He can
also make armors and shields, though he makes shields and armors
less, since he mostly just uses this to make weapons for
himself, which is usually a knife of some form.
- Dark/Corrupted Sand/Quicksand Manipulation: This power covers
Zenrael's ability to manipulate sand. For the most part, Zenrael
can create sand easily by grinding the earth underneath him, or
summon it. He is able to use sand for a variety of things, such
as using it as a shield, to absorb physical attacks, or to
create solid constructs out of to attack opponents. Zenrael is
able to do a lot with sand, including being able to create and
manipulate the ground until it becomes quicksand, which can
quickly pull someone in, depending on how deep the quicksand
goes. One of his greatest abilities with sand is that he can
trap people in waves of sand, and then crush people in the sand
using a special sand technique that solidifies the sand into a
rock hard sand that can crush people in the wave. This is based
on a sand technique often called "Sand Coffin", which attempts
to engulf than crush opponents. The waves can also be
customized, such as creating a coffin with spikes in it, or
creating tendrils of sand to grab and then crush the opponent's
body like a snake. This power can be very dangerous, as anyone
who's fought tough sand users can attest, due to the sand's
easily changable nature. Luckily, sand manipulation does have a
weakness, and that is water, which turns it into mud. While
Zenrael can still manipulate mud, it's far less effective than
sand.
- Dark/Corrupted Wood/Plant Creation/Manipulation: Just as he
can control other elements, Zenrael is able to also manipulate
plants and trees. He is able to summon and control plants using
his dark or corrupted earth power, and is able to summon plants,
or grow them from seeds he can summon. Usually, things like
bamboo or vines work pretty well for Zenrael, being great for
containing and trapping opponents. He can also create wood to
fight opponents, with him being able to create trees and forests
out of wood around him. His wood manipulation is often
strengthened though when he uses petrified wood, which is a far
more powerful wood that Zenrael can convert his wood into
petrified wood by using his earth manipulation. This lets him
create a wood that can rival some of his metallic manipulation,
and lets him use his wood to fight opponents when he doesn't
have metal to use. This manipulation is best countered by water
or wind, or anything that can rot or cut through the wood.
However, one has to be careful when he uses petrified wood,
since it's much stronger than normal wood and can block many
metal weapons. Zenrael's bamboo manipulation is also very
strong, requiring caution.
- Dark/Corrupted Carbon and Graphene Summoning/Manipulation:
Among Zenrael's other manipulations also involve carbon
manipulation. Many who know a lot about earth powers know that
carbon is a very tough material depending on how the atoms are
arranged, with some structures producing a carbon that's almost
as hard as metal. The hardest material in Zenrael's arsenal of
earth manipulations though is a special carbon manipulation
called graphene. Graphene is a one atom thick sheet of carbon
that is the known strongest material on earth (that is generated
on earth). Graphene is far stronger than normal steel, theorized
that it would take an elephant balancing on a pencil to break a
sheet of it as thing as plastic wrap. This is perhaps the
strongest of Zenrael's manipulations (And taught to him by
Vobu), where he can use this to create very strong armors and
weapons, though the thin carbon is difficult to wield, so often,
he just uses it as the cores of his weapons and armors,
underneath the main metals. This particular power can also be
used to compress carbon into diamonds, though Zenrael rarely
does this since he has manipulations just as strong without
needing to create diamonds. For the most part, Zenrael's
graphene manipulation is strong, but fairly useless on it's own
and very hard to make since graphene is only one atom thick,
though his carbon manipulation is still something to watch out
for, especially since he can do things like turn pencils into
sharpened dark or corrupted throwing weapons and turn other
carbon into strong weapons.
- Dark/Corrupted Glass/Mirror Summoning/Manipulation: Earth
manipulators are also able to create or summon glass, which they
can use to fight opponents. They are able to use their power to
generate strong glass, including bullet-proof glass and tempered
glass (often known as safety glass). Users are able to use this
glass to create spears to attack opponents, and create sharpened
weapons out of this glass. Some are also able to use the glass
to create a special mirror manipulation using light. By doing
so, they can create projections using reflected light in order
to misdirect opponents, and can use this glass manipulation to
redirect and concentrate light or laser type attacks using the
glass, which is one of the big weaknesses of light manipulation.
As a result, this gives an earth user a very powerful glass
manipulation they can use to fight their enemies. This is quite
useful, and through special earth manipulation, they can also
manipulate a other aspects of element into their glass
manipulation, such as using the flame energy to create a
sharpened heated glass that is more easily able to pierce
objects as a result, or use dark arts to compress the glass.
Unlike most earth users, more advanced earth users know how to
use strengthened forms of glass, among which include glass that
can stop bullets or heavily resist attacks. As a result, this
ends up being useful, especially if they can use their mirror
manipulation to trick opponents using illusions. However, this
can be a double edged sword, as light can be focused through
glass like a lens (usually) to create stronger attacks to damage
the user, so this usually requires careful use to avoid it being
used against them.
- Dark/Corrupted Concrete/Stone Manipulation: Yet another
ability an earth manipulator can use is that they can use their
special earth manipulation to manipulate stone, dirt and
concrete. This is more along the lines of what most people think
when they think of earth manipulation, with most earth
manipulators being able to do this very basic technique. For
advanced earth users, they are no different, and can use this
earth manipulation just like other earth users. They are able to
use stone, dirt, or even concrete depending on what they want to
do. Usually, stone and concrete are the main simple earth
manipulations many stick to, due to them being simple but
effective. As a result, many use them to attack opponents or
create defensive walls around themselves with these earth
manipulations. Since current society has a lot of concentrate in
things like roads and buildings, this lets most users manipulate
this and use an abundance of this earth manipulation in battle.
By doing this, they can also manipulate things like buildings,
by bringing down a building with their power if they're near a
building, or even pull it off it's foundation and hurl it at
someone (Though this often requires very strong earth users).
For the most part, things like small houses and smaller
buildings aren't too hard to manipulate, but most can't always
manipulate larger structures like skyscrapers, so most usually
can't bring down heavier buildings without concentration. The
larger the structure, the more concentration required to do so,
and some may not be able to bring down buildings too big.
Zenrael is not strong enough to bring down entire buildings
easily, so many larger buildings are safe from him.
- Dark/Corrupted Oil/Holy Oil Summoning/Manipulation: This is
one of Zenrael's last of his earth types he typically uses in
battle, in which he is able to create and generate oil using
earth. In doing so, he can create special oil he can use that is
flammable, or create other oils that he can use to his
advantage. Usually, the two biggest uses for this are
combustible oil, and special holy oil. While he uses dark and
corrupted elements, he can manipulate oil into holy oil, which
can be used against angels and demons, allowing Zenrael to use
this to his advantage. Usually, he will create traps out of
burning holy oil, and even though he makes it out of dark or
corrupted elements, he is able to manipulate the oil into holy
oil, even though the power that controls the oil is dark or
corrupted in nature. Once on fire, the burning holy oil can be
used to cast out angels, or do extreme holy damage to demons.
This oil could also be used to drown someone if Zenrael creates
enough of it to drown someone in it and can engulf them, though
it usually ends with Zenrael setting the oil on fire and burning
someone alive in the mass of oil.
- Dark Arts Soul Golem Arts: This art is based around special
earth arts, where Zenrael uses earth to create special golems in
order to attack opponents. This is a modified version of the
dark earth elemental dark arts, and uses earth to create
creatures to fight opponents. However, this isn't just simple
earth manipulation golems like most golem arts, but Zenrael is
able to use his soul arts to fuse souls he's taken to his golems
to create special golems with unique forms based on the soul
that empowers the golem. This art can use any earth material as
it's base, even being able to use lava manipulation (by
combining fire and earth) into creating a lava golem. When
powered by souls, these golems gain unique abilities, in which
they are able to use the same abilities the soul had in life,
and can fight in whatever form is given to them similarly to how
they fought in life. Thanks to this art, this is a good way of
manifesting souls to fight, and can even be used on things like
Zenrael's demonic gold hell summoning, where he can use it to
create special demonic entities out of souls, and can generate
special golems based on the soul's abilities. Instead of normal
rock golems, the golems take the form of the person the soul
belonged to, and can even appear as the person. The only way to
destroy these golems is to destroy the heart, which is always in
the center of the golem's bodies. If one can destroy the golem's
heart, they can destroy the golem and often send the soul to the
afterlife once it's freed from the golem unless Zenrael reclaims
it, which he often has to take away concentration to due, making
destroying these golems dangerous to him. Depending on the
materials available, he can even create golems out of multiple
materials, such as having ancient Spartan warriors who he
creates out of rock, but then uses metal manipulation to give
them armor and weapons.
- Dark/Corrupted Flame Manipulation: This is Zenrael's secondary
element which is fire, which lets her manipulate dark or
corrupted flames. Zenrael's flames are powered by either his
fallen angel corrupted element power or his dark elemental arts,
being somewhat similar to certain other special flames like dark
flames, but has dark or corrupted power to it. Zenrael is able
to use this just like normal fire manipulation, in which he can
do things like creating explosive attacks, creating fireballs,
or even burning people through physical touch. These flames are
mostly like normal flames, but, like hellfire, these dark or
corrupted flames burn much hotter than normal flames. The dark
arts flames is a variation of the normal dark flames used by
those like the Darkfire clan, but with a dark arts power base
rather than a soul energy based power. As such, these flames are
charged with dark arts power, as well as flame power. In
addition, Zenrael also has corrupted flames, which his fallen
angel power lets him use corrupted flames to hurt those that use
flames (since corrupted elements use corrupted energy to damage
users of elements). This fire manipulation is still focused
through his dark elementals or corrupted elementals, and can be
countered as such, as well as being counterable by anything that
counters fire. The main power that counters this flame is ice
abilities, though since the flames burn hotter than normal
flames, the ice abilities need to be able to account for the
higher temperatures of the flames.
- Dark/Corrupted Condensed Flame Blast: This ability is one that
some fire users can use very similar to lightning users who
condense their lightning. Most flame users are able to use this
in some form, though some are better at using it than others.
For the most part, there are two main uses for this. The first
is creating powerful impact blasts of flames similar to what
lightning users and wind users can use. Most elements have some
sort of impact power-based ability, and fire can also be used in
this aspect. When used, fire blasts are able to be used to blast
opponents back using condensed flames, which can be made to
explode on impact. This is designed to be able to hit opponents
with intense impact force, in which the flames are focused into
concussive force which can blast opponents with this force
rather than trying to do something like burn them, though this
attack can burn opponents on impact if they are vulnerable to
being burned. This attack is specifically designed for use in
physical combat, rather than trying to use flames to burn or
explode on someone, and makes this attack able to even damage
fire users, even though fire users would not be hurt by the
burning part of the fire power. This is best countered by other
similar attacks, though doing so tends to generate powerful
impact waves that can damage both the user and the opponent.
Usually, the best method for not taking damage is avoiding this
altogether, since the impact force can even do damage to people
through armor with enough power put into the attack.
- Dark/Corrupted Condensed Fire Beam: This is the second use for
fire users and using their flames to generate an attack similar
to lightning users. Instead of firing a beam of lightning, fire
users fire beams of pure fire, which can be used to engulf
opponents. Depending on how it's used, the beams can have
different purposes. The first is for larger beams of fire, that
use beams of fire to engulf opponents, usually to burn them
alive in the beam and usually incinerate as much of their
opponent as possible, even often melting weapons and armors
caught in this. Of course, this particular attack is dodgable,
but this attack is more about flame power than impact power in
how it hits opponents. The second technique with this fire beam
is to create smaller, and more concentrated fire beams to damage
opponents, in which they use smaller, more condensed fire beams
to pierce opponents. The generated heat manipulation is able to
more easily pierce opponents, since the flames are designed to
melt through even metal. These flames, which empowered enough,
can even melt adamantium or stronger metals, since almost every
substance has a melting point. These smaller beams are smaller
and do slightly less damage, but they are much faster when fired
than the larger beams. Of course, opponents that want to avoid
this can use similar abilities to counter, such as energy beams,
or even other elemental beams (like lightning users). This can
also be countered more easily with strong enough ice skills,
though the smaller and condensed beams are better dodged than
blocked since they are designed to pierce opponents.
- Dark/Corrupted Flame Explosive Attack Manipulation: This
aspect of fire manipulation is all about creating explosive
attacks. For the most part, fire users are able to manipulate
fire attacks to be explosive, and are able to use flammable
elements to help boost their fire attacks. For the most part,
this is usually best used alongside other flammable elementals,
in which most usually take advantage of things like oxygen,
hydrogen and flammable elements. But even without these
elements, fire users can still manipulate their flames to
explode. Usually, fire users will make fire attacks explosive,
often creating explosive fireballs by using their power to put
pressure into the fire attacks. Most fire manipulators can use
this in a variety of ways, with most fire users unique abilities
being able to grant additional options for explosive attacks,
such as using certain elements or techniques that their race
might allow, like dragons using the dragon snap dragon magic
attack. For the most part, these are still fire attacks, and the
most dangerous part of explosive attacks are their concussive
force. If one can account for that, then they can counter this
with anything that counters fire, with the main counter being
ice.
- Heat-Based Environmental and Combat Adaption: Similar to how
ice based users are able to adapt to environments around them,
fire users are able to adapt to environments around them. Most
would expect fire users to only be able to survive in places
like desert and volcano environments, but most fire users are
able to control their body temperatures in all weather. A fire
user, similar to how ice users adapt in hot environments, are
able to adapt in cold environments, raising their body
temperatures with their power. For the most part, temperatures
aren't too much of a concern for fire users, and many are often
able to take advantage of fighting in environments that people
aren't normally able to fight in. Most fire users can adapt very
well to heat-based combat conditions, and even can adapt to cold
conditions more easily. This ability applies to both in and out
of combat, and grants them resistance to environmental
conditions. This also grants a fire user's body some resistance
against ice and being frozen, in which they can use this power
to resistance changes in temperature by using their flame powers
as a resistance to . Of course, this doesn't mean that ice can't
hurt a fire user, only that they adapt to cold environments and
fire users fight more easily in hot environments whereas some
don't adapt as easily.
- Fire Based Enhanced Movement and Flight: Fire users are able
to use the momentum generated by blasts of fire to increase
their movement speeds, a trick that they use to use the increase
in momentum to more easily fight opponents. The most common
thing people know about is using this for flight, in which many
fire users are able to use streams of fire to use the momentum
to fly around by using the fire streams like jets to grant high
momentum. However, there are other methods of enhancing movement
besides just flying. Fire users are able to use this ability to
generate momentum, using this to dash and grant them enhanced
movement using streams of fire like jets. Many use this to dash
around, whether it's generating fire from their feet to push
them forward, or using fire from their hands to push them to the
side. Users of fire manipulation are also able to use this when
falling, in order to slow their momentum by firing the fire
downward to cancel their downward momentum. For the most part,
there's a variety of ways to use this, in which creative users
can find new ways to use this as they learn more about how to
use this momentum. Of course, this is mostly a movement ability,
in which they can enhance movement, but they can use the
enhanced momentum to do more damage in physical attacks, in
which the momentum can add power to their attack as well. This
requires a lot of knowledge of physics and how to use this
momentum in order to use. Using too much fire or too little fire
in this skill can be dangerous, since too much fire can push the
user too far and throw off their original attack, while using
too little means they might not move enough to do what they
originally want to do.
- Dark/Corrupted Lava, Ash, and Molten Metal Manipulation: By
combining a fallen angel's dark arts or corrupted earth and fire
abilities, they are also able to use combined elementals to
fight opponents. This power is a combination of dark or
corrupted flames and earth manipulation to create a dark or
corrupted magma manipulation, as well as manipulate the ash of
the magma, or even use with metal to create molten metal. The
lava manipulation is usable like one would expect, being a
liquid-like mix of molten rock and liquid-like flames that are
designed to do mixed elemental damage and corrupted element or
dark elemental damage. The ash is also usuable to attack with,
and users can use it to poison people if opponents inhale the
ash, as the ash can not only prove to make them unable to
breathe properly, but the dark or corrupted energy of the ash
could slowly burn the air passage ways in the lungs as well.
Molten metal is also an option for those combining fire and
earth, in which a user melts the metal and then uses the melted
metal to attack opponents. Not only can this damage opponents by
burning them, but it is also possible to remove the heat from
this to solidify it on opponents to trap them. Usually, the best
use for molten metal is the fact that it has no magnetic field,
making it very useful against lightning users. This manipulation
is best countered by water/ice manipulation, with holy or life
powers also working fairly well with a strong enough defense.
Combat Abilities:
- 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. Zenrael also knows this
style, having learned it from a fallen grand priest angel long
ago so he could combine it with his other styles.
- Shito-Ryu Styles and Substyles: Shito-Ryu is a combat style, a
style of Karate that is branched off into it's own style. This
style is focused around five Pinan kata, which are empty hand
forms. These forms are all based around their specific stances,
and focused around these five substyles. For the most part, each
substyle has it's own methods of countering and attacking
opponents. This style not only works in one style, but Shito-Ryu
has spawned many other styles over the years, with there being a
lot of spin-off style of this. As such, most of the styles
follow the same basic rules, in that there are 5 main methods
for blocking attacks and attacking opponents. This style is all
based around the same general style as Karate, in which the
style uses fluid movement and agility to create a fighting style
that is very flexible, is great for speed, and has good striking
capabilities. Most users of this style focus it on defense,
though there are plenty of attack options with this, thanks to
it's unique striking combat attacks, and it's methods of many
different types of stances and movement options to allow most
users to use this style in their own ways depending on what
stances and what those stances allow form combat techniques.
This style usually specializes in using opponent's momentum
against them, due to many substyles being about using an
opponent's attack in some way to their advantage. Due to his
time in Japan since early times, Zenrael mostly specializes in
Japanese fighting styles, which his main styles are Shito-ryu
and many of it's spinoff substyles like Shito-kai and Shukokai,
which are mostly just alternate Shito-Ryu styles that are
slightly different in their styles.
- Shito-Ryu Rakka Substyle (Falling Petals): This style is
designed specifically around strong blocking and defense. In
this substyle, the main focus is around blocking, in which the
user bocks with such force and precision, that they can
completely stop an opponent's attacking motion. Those that train
in this substyle can actually block combat attacks with such a
force that they can actually cause people to stumble back, or
use blocking to stun opponents. This style is focused around the
concept of an immovable object, and focuses defense to allow
most users to block almost any combat attack (as long as it's a
powerful attack they can handle) without being budged. Usually,
when blocked properly, many opponents will be stunned when they
are forced back from a blocking technique, in which this is
designed to open their defense so that they can attack the
opponent's momentary opening. This style requires special
blocking techniques and being able to switch from defense to
attack almost instantly, which is very difficult for most
fighters to pull off. This style is great for defense, and
opening opponents up to attack, but is overall very difficult,
since most opponents aren't open to attack for long, so windows
to attack are short in this style. Users can block certain
attacks stronger than they are, but overall strong enough
opponents can still break through this defensive style.
- Shito-Ryu Ryusui Substyle (Running Water): This substyle is
all based around fluid motion and how to use it in combat. This
is typically a more balanced style, in which speed, strength and
defense are all necessary in order to use it effectively. This
style focuses around fluid motion, in which users combine attack
and defense into one solid motion and attack. When used, this
style uses soft blocks to avoid attacks, then using powerful
fluid movement to increase striking power to hit an opponent
with great force. In this style, this style focuses on a balance
of attack and defense, with it being mostly based around it's
movement. When using this style, many users can make short
subtle movements to avoid attacks, mostly using soft blocks to
keep attacks from hitting them. This is typically what most
people would associate as a karate style, since it focuses on
both defense and offense, as well as the movements required to
be able to combine the two effectively. While this does still
require changing stances between attacks, it does allow for more
options in defense and attack, since this style combines attack
and defense into one fluid movement. This style is a fairly
balanced style, but is still able to be overcome by certain
other styles. This style is focused around avoiding attacks, and
if the user is hit by the attack, often times it will stop the
attack completely, so this usually requires waiting for the
right opening. This means that a user needs to be able to move
effectively in order to use this. This style is also more about
patience and waiting for an opening, rather than making one's
own opening to attack.
- Shito-Ryu Kusshin Substyle (Elasticity): This substyle is more
about durability and attack than anything. This style is all
about using the momentum from taking attacks from an opponent
and then redirecting that momentum to attack. This style
requires heavy durability, as it requires getting hit by a
physical attack, and requires solid movement to keep the
momentum they gain after being hit. This style essentially
requires the user to absorb the momentum of being hit, using the
momentum given to them by the opponent's attack, and then using
it to fuel their own momentum and attack, essentially doubling
the user's momentum from normal attacks. This is a very complex
substyle, since it requires taking a hit before it can be used,
but can be a very powerful substyle. Some advanced users can
avoid lessen damage they take by moving with the attack, and not
taking as much of a hit from the attack so that they can still
gain the momentum but not take as much damage. As one might
guess, this style is defensive, but requires being able to take
an attack. But if the user can take the attack, they can almost
always do damage even to stronger opponents since this uses the
same momentum as the opponent's attacks used on the user, but
with the user's added momentum. However, certain stronger
attacks cannot be countered with this style, since certain
powerful attacks might do too much damage. This also requires
reading an opponent, as one has to know not only the direction
of the attack, but know how to use the momentum to hit an
opponent since sometimes this requires split-second movements
and decisions in a fight, especially if this art is used in
response to being hit. The user also has to know the attack is
coming to use this, so this plays back into reading opponents.
- Shito-Ryu Ten'i Substyle (Transposition): This substyle is all
about movement. Rather than blocking an attack, the user uses
the movement of an attack to avoid the attacker and then attack
from other directions. This style is focused around taking
advantage of the opponent's attacking motions, since this uses
dodging attacks rather than blocking in order to make sure the
opponent's momentum isn't interrupted so that the user can move
around the opponent before they can change attacks or stop their
momentum. This style focuses around movement, such as moving
behind an attacker while they're attacking using a sidestep, and
then attacking them from behind while they're trying to change
direction to attack. This style is all about movement, using
movement styles and agility to get around attackers and attack
them from other directions. As such, this style is more about
dodging than blocking, and requires users to be able to take
advantage of attack motions without stopping an opponent's
momentum so they can attack from another angel before the
opponent can pull out of their attack momentum. This style is
defensive, but does require strength training in order to hit
the opponent. Usually this style is focused around speed over
strength, so tactics like attacking vitals with less strength to
hurt opponents is necessary compared to other styles that have
strong attacks. And since this style requires using an
opponent's momentum to keep them in motion, usually opponents
that can change momentum quickly enough can avoid a lot of the
attacks of this substyle. This style also requires the user to
be faster than the opponent in order to be able to use this or
the opponent can easily dodge or counter this substyle since
faster opponents can more easily change attack directions.
- Shito-Ryu Hangeki Substyle (Counterattack): This is another
substyle of the Shito-Ryu style that focuses around using an
opponent's momentum. This style requires a two stage movement,
in which users have to be able to turn defensive movements into
counterattacks in response to enemy attacks. Users that use this
style learn to deflect attacks, but then use the momentum from
the blocking motion that redirects their momentum to then attack
an opponent with the momentum they gain from the deflection of
the attack. This is perhaps the hardest style to master, since
it requires not only blocking an attack by deflecting it, but
also requires turning that deflection into an attack. One such
example of this style is deflecting a punch downward, then using
the movement upward after the deflection to attack the
opponent's chin. This style also requires reading an opponent,
knowing not only how they're going to attack, but how to take
advantage of the momentum of the deflecting block to make an
attack. This combines defense and offense into one swift motion,
where the attack is immediately followed up by the deflection in
a combo-like style and are not two seperate movements. As such,
this style can only be used in response to an opponent's attack,
and requires that the user know how to use the momentum they
will gain to their advantage. Users of this style can be
countered more easily by opponents who change their momentum, in
which some can try to change the momentum and change attacks to
throw this off, or users that can avoid being blocked can
usually avoid the attacks of this style fairly easily especially
if they know the attack is coming.
- Shito-Ryu Shuchu Seishin Unique Substyle (Focused Spirit):
This is Zenrael's unique substyle of Shito-Ryu he developed by
combining Shito-Ryu with concepts from the grand priest fighting
style. In this style, Zenrael focused aspects of multiple
styles, such as the hangeki substyle's counter attacks, and the
speedy style of the Ten'i style. This style was focused on
Zenrael's small stature, and designed to allow him to use a
combination of certain Shito-Ryu techniques with his focused
strength of the grand priest angel style. This style uses the
Ten'i style's speed based movement, due to speed being Zenrael's
focus since he's got such a short stature, but also since this
style is more or less based in speed, normally strength would
suffer. While Zenrael can use other styles like Hangeki or
Kusshin to use momentum against opponents, his strike attacks
don't hit too hard since he's so small. As such, the aspects of
the focused strength style also allow him to hit harder. There
are two main aspects that are used in this style for Vobu aside
from the speed and momentum. When he uses this, he uses the
fighting spirit focus of the grand priest fighting style to
focus his strength when attacking, and uses the grand priest
vitals attacking style to focus his attacks into the points at
the vitals when he hits opponents so that it does more damage.
This style is fast and, with his fighting spirit enhanced vital
attacks, this style is also very strong thanks to how Zenrael
has combined concepts from almost all of his fighting styles and
substyles into this style. However, due to his small stature,
this does mean his strength suffers, so it often takes multiple
hits to one's vital points to take down an opponent, even when
he's fully focused in his style, and this style is able to be
countered by faster opponents who can block or dodge his
attacks. This is Zenrael's primary style of combat though, and
still a dangerous style.
- Supernatural Hunter Training/Hunting Experience: Having been
around since early creation and having fought many battles over
the years, most angels and fallen angels are skilled
supernatural hunters who know easily how to fight most types of
supernaturals in the world. 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 fallen angels are skilled opponents
to face by any race, and knows how to take down most
supernaturals thanks to their experience which most fallen
angels have more of fighting on earth than normal angels. Any
supernaturals a fallen angel doesn't know about, they can
usually find information through the fallen 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.
- 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), or
on the wrong side of heaven or hell in the case of fallen
angels. 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.
Thanks to Zenrael's enhanced senses as a rabbit and his enhanced
angelic senses, he has even better tracking abilities than most
supernatural hunters and some supernaturals.
- 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 angels
and rival fallen angels. Of course, as many angels and fallen
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 fallen 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. For
fallen angels, they use a mix of Enochian wards and biblical
Hebrew wards, which are useful for warding demons and/or angels
depending ont he wards and exorcisms. Since fallen angels fight
against both heaven and hell, they have to know how to exorcise
creatures, specifically angels and demons.
Passive Abilities:
- Fallen Angel Wings/Wing Suppression: All angels have angel
wings to a degree, with some having more unique wings than
others, and this applies even to fallen angels. 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, with fallen angels typically having
black wings instead of white like normal angels due to their
corrupted natures. These wings can be made visible, but most
fallen angels on earth have ways to suppress their wings, with
two main ways. The first is simple, in which their wings are
shape-shifted into their backs, usually shape-shifted so they
are out of sight. The second is the more common method most
angels and fallen 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).
Zenrael just has basic fallen angel wings, and no real special
abilities with his wings. He keeps them intangible when he's not
using them, and only summons them when he has to.
- Fallen Angel/Archangel Regeneration: Those that have seen
angels or fallen angels often figure out quickly that angels and
fallen 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 kill-able, 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.
For the most part, this works the same for fallen angels as it
does for normal angels. While Zenrael has basic regeneration,
his regeneration is enhanced thanks to the souls running through
his power, which strengthens his regeneration more than normal
angels would be able to. For Zenrael, he is able to regenerate
as long as he has souls in him or his regeneration isn't negated
for some reason. Zenrael's regeneration is on par with some
archangels and demon princes.
- Fallen Angel/Archangel Hardskin Defense: Replicating their
angelic hardskin defense, the fallen angels are also able to use
their aura of the fallen to use this art instead of their normal
angelic power. Typically this comes alongside their
regeneration, in which fallen 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
fallen angels/archangels have often been seen as nearly
indestructible by weaker opponents (even though they are just
harder to damage). 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 in this art, angels
and fallen 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 holy
power, since this power runs on an the fallen angel's corrupted
presence. 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.
To an extent, even demonic weapons can be made more effective
against this. Zenrael is focused more in this than regeneration,
since his regeneration power is enhanced by soul energy and his
dark arts abilities, so he can focus most of his power into
this.
- Resistance to holy/demonic effects: While most fallen angels
are still strong, they don't have completely immunity after
falling to things like holy effects. Due to their corrupted
nature, they do still take damage from holy and demonic effects,
but thanks to special training and fighting angels and demons,
fallen angels have learned to resist demonic and holy effects to
a large degree, mostly so that angels or demons won't be able to
take them down under most circumstances. Since most fallen
angels are between demonic and angelic, most develop this
resistance for their own survival. Fallen angels are not as
affected by things like holy areas, or demonic areas, which have
unique effects based on the area. This means that a fallen angel
could walk into a church, or walk into a demonically controlled
area with almost no ill effects, barely being affected. This
also applies to granting them some resistance to holy and
demonic powers, in which they have learned to resist these
powers due to having to fight angels and demons. However, while
they don't take damage from area affects, holy and demonic
powers do still hurt them, and can still do some damage to them
based on the skill. While they do take reduced effects, they are
still able to be hurt by holy and demonic powers, even if it's
to a reduced degree. Instead of immunity to one or the other,
like angels being immune to holy and demons being immune to
demonic effects, fallen angels just have slight resistance to
both, but they are also more vulnerable to certain human
abilities since they live on earth more and are affected by
earthly powers more than angelic or demonic abilities. As such,
usually humans are the best person to fight fallen angels.
- Affinity for the Dark Arts/Dark Arts Skill Copy: After Zenrael
became a fallen angel and delved into the dark arts, he gained
an affinity for the dark arts, and after being empowered by dark
arts, fallen angel power, and soul energy power, he has become a
manifestation of dark arts and fallen angel abilities rolled
into one being. For the most part, Zenrael is a very dangerous
opponent, and with his affinity for the dark arts, can learn new
dark arts and certain other skillset abilities far more easily
than most would be able to. When Zenrael is faced with another
dark arts user, he is often able to copy their abilities after
seeing them just once, learning new dark arts in this manner, or
getting ideas for new dark arts. And after humans started
developing their scientific methods and understanding, Zenrael
started capitalizing on this in his dark arts, using it to his
advantage to make his attacks more dangerous, specifically with
his elemental abilities. As he often says, he has taught a lot
of people dark arts, but he is the master of dark arts. Though
it is worth noting that Zenrael is nowhere near as skilled with
dark arts as his brother, Vobu, was, and doesn't hold quite the
same power that Vobu possessed when he was alive. Unlike his
brother, Zenrael is more focused on dark arts soul usage, rather
than blood manipulation like Vobu was.
- Immune to Dark Arts Effects: While Zenrael is still vulnerable
to the actual physical dark arts attacks, Zenrael is completely
immune to dark arts effects as a whole, instead being empowered
by it, and is immune to the negative effects of dark arts (like
soul absorption and other darkness effects). Usually, any dark
arts used on Zenrael just leads to him copying the dark art and
learning it rather than it hurting him. He is completely immune
to effects like death energy effects, or darkness effects, or
even dark voodoo arts like voodoo doll creation since his dark
arts are based in some voodoo arts. While he can still be hurt
by physical damage done by the attacks, such as a dark magic
explosive attack doing concussive impact damage to him, he can't
be hurt but special effects of these powers, like being immune
to the corrosive effects of death energy or the burning effects
of dark energy to some creatures. For the most part, while he is
immune to the dark arts, he is still able to be hurt by other
neutral powers, and with his resistance to holy and demonic
power, usually neutral powers are the best thing to use on
Zenrael. There are few dark arts stronger than his, but there
are still some out there, and those could also do damage to
Zenrael if one could overpower his dark arts, since Zenrael's
immunity to this is usually the result of his dark arts being
stronger than most dark arts users he fights.
- Fallen Angel Dark Presence Empowerment: While angels have
their holy empowerment and demons have their sinful empowerment,
fallen angels have more of a dark presence empowerment. They
don't feed on holy or demonic presences, but instead, they gain
power from areas with more darker presences. Fallen angels
typically stay in places where humans, angels and demons avoid,
and gain power from areas that are typically considered
"dangerous" by most people. Usually, this includes places that
are considered "haunted" or have some kind of dark presence that
usually chases people away. Fallen angels are able to feed on
the negative aura of an area like this, and use it to replenish
their power in the same way that an angel would use a church's
holy presence, or a demon would use the sinful desires of humans
to empower themselves. This lets them replenish their power
between battles more quickly, or could also give them a home
field advantage if they fight opponents in these areas. Due to
most fallen angels using this presence to their advantage, they
typically fight in these areas, with them often spreading rumors
about areas they live in, in order to generate a dark atmosphere
around the places they tend to live. Typically, they tend to do
the best in areas with a strong presence of dark spirits, which
give off the perfect atmosphere that empowers them.
- Fatal Attraction: Zenrael, in order to gain human followers,
has had to learn to live among humans and lure humans to work
for him, to which he has had a lot of experience swaying humans
to his side. From posing as an angel of Heaven to just seeming
like a likeable person to some, Zenrael has learned how to
essentially use his own charisma to get people on his side. Due
to this, Zenrael normally comes off as a very attractive and
desirable person to others, and despite being a master of dark
arts and having a dark presence, most people and beings don't
even notice it unless Zenrael wants them to as he can suppress
this presence to a degree. Usually, Zenrael has developed a
powerful charisma, where even though he's short and a very dark
presence to those like angels and demons, Zenrael has managed to
use his charisma to influence a lot of people that wouldn't be
influenced by people like him, even turning some humans to
sinful natures after using his influence to convince them to
live life to the fullest. Due to Zenrael's hobbies of corrupting
humans and trying to find ways to bring down strong people (in
will) to their breaking point, his efforts almost always start
with him as a very charismatic person, and has led to a lot of
humans and supernaturals falling into sin thanks to his
charismatic nature. For the most part, Zenrael has lived among
humans for many years, and can sometimes even say dark things
that people will overlook, like him having once helped a dark
arts group that pledged their loyalty to him despite the fact he
told them they wouldn't live long even with his help due to the
Church being more powerful than them, but helped them for his
own amusement.
- Fallen Angel Radio: Similar to angels, fallen angels have
their own communication. If angels communication were compared
to a typical radio, a fallen angel's communciation would be on a
different station or channel than typical angel radio, but
mostly works the same way as normal angel radio with exception
that they operate on their own "network". As such, the fallen
angels have their own separate communication thanks to this.
They are still able to hear prayers, and can hear/zero in on
specific prayers just like typical angels, however they cannot
hear prayers to heaven, but those that call for other beings,
like being able to hear dark arts summoning rituals or being
able to hear those that pray to fallen angels specificially. For
the most part, those who listen in on this radio cannot operate
on typical angel radio, and angels cannot operate on fallen
angel radio due to the difference in their "tuning" that is a
result of the change in their natures. However, those with
fallen angel power can hear this and use it to commune with one
another in the same way angels use theirs to communicate with
each other. For the most part, this does work the same way, in
that those who pray can be found when praying, and can easily be
zeroed in on if they are praying to a certain angel. As one can
expect, this is not a battle power, but rather just a simpel
communication. Typically, just like angel radio, fallen angels
will often hunt down anyone who operates on their communication
if they find out someone is in their communication. This can be
used to do things like sending battle information to other
fallen angels, or used to send distress signals to other fallen
angels. However, since most fallen angels are usually not as
coordinated as angels, they may or may not respond to calls like
angels would. Children of fallen angels can also hear this
version of angel radio as well, but children of normal angels
cannot hear this communication network, but an angel/fallen
angel child (if one existed), would be able to access both,
which would be a big problem for both angels and fallen angels.
- Angelic Mimicry/Mortal Reading: Angels have a natural affinity
for mimicking others, in which they can do things like mimicking
someone's actions exactly which works even for fallen angels who
can do this as well. 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. This works
the same way for fallen angels that it does for normal angels.
- Fallen Angelic Cosmic Awareness/Darker Realms Knowledge: Like
angels, most fallen angels have a great knowledge of the
universe, in which they have an understanding that most beings
lack. Unlike angels though, fallen angels are not only aware on
a cosmic scale of the forces of the universe, but fallen angels
are also highly tuned into worlds and darker side of worlds than
angels or even demons are. Fallen angels' knowledge usually
comes in their immensely knowledge of the Shadow Realm, the
things that come of it, and things like dark spirits and how
they operate. Unlike angels who have a general knowledge, fallen
angels also have this knowledge, but a much more involved
knowledge of the living world, since they specifically live in
the living worlds rather than in heaven or hell like angels or
demons do. As such, while they are usually out of tune with
updated events in heaven or hell, they know almost everything
that goes on in the living worlds, and usually have a great
awareness of the worlds they live in. Of course, also like
angels, they don't have as much knowledge of the primordial
beings, such as the The'Galin. Their knowledge is also more
based in dark creatures and spirits than angels, in which they
use this usually find ways to use dark spirits to their
advantage, and learn to use this as a type of network of
knowledge once they learn dark arts and learn to commune with
these dark spirits. Zenrael's influence with dark spirits makes
him one of the biggest experts on dark spirits and dark arts.
- 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.
Fallen angels specialize in a mix of Enochian and Biblical
Hebrew, and even have their own language based around the
variation of the languages to combine them into one language.
- 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). This works for fallen angels the same as
it does for normal angels and demons, most thanks to
regeneration and their beings also not being designed to age,
even after falling. The biggest worry among fallen angels is
possibly becoming demon if they are corrupted enough over time.
- Supernatural Telepathy: This ability lets an angel or a fallen
angel communicate telepathically with anyone they can connect
to. Typically this power uses their angel radio (depending on
whether it's an angel or fallen angel), 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 or
fallen 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 or allies. This lets
angels and fallen 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 and
fallen 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 stays 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 and fallen 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.
- Fallen Angel and Rabbit Form Enhanced Senses; Similar to
angels, most fallen 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 fallen
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. Fallen angels
typically have more specific senses, depending on the fallen
angel and their skillset since some gain specific abilities that
reflect in their senses. When in human form, Zenrael has
enhanced hearing, sense of smell and sight thanks to his rabbit
form enhancement of his senses. When in rabbit form, he has 360
degree vision like that of a typical rabbit, since they use this
to detect everything around them. He does also have enhanced
hearing and sight both his human and rabbit forms, more than
typical fallen angels.
- Fallen Angel Sixth Sense: Much like vampires and other
supernaturals, fallen 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 and fallen 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) which also
applies to fallen angels. 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.
- Enhanced Fallen Angel/Archangel and Combat Trained Physical
Stats: Zenrael is a short person, and is often considered one of
the shortest angels or fallen angels known to their kind.
Zenrael uses this to his advantage though in battle, having a
style focused in speed and agility thanks to his Shito-Ryu
training and his unique substyle. However, his power doesn't
completely suffer like most would think, as he gains power from
his unique substyle and some of the techniques that allow him to
use an opponent's own momentum against them. Due to his small
figure, Zenrael is very fast, and very hard to hit by most
opponents who have to adapt to his unique fighting style and
size. Combined with his dark arts and his fighting styles,
Zenrael is a very tough physical opponent, and his fallen angel
body makes him very hard to kill as a result of his fallen angel
regeneration and his hard skin. Though Zenrael isn't as powerful
as his brother, Vobu, Zenrael is still a very close second, and
has been known to be a very dangerous opponent since he has
actually fought with certain archangels in the past and won as a
fallen angel, and has even beaten Leviathan and Beelzebub in
fights in the past. This alone should show just how dangerous
Zenrael is, and makes him one of the most dangerous known fallen
angels.
Transformations:
- Fallen Angel Form/Dark Arts Enhanced Forms: Most fallen angels
typically don't use their full angelic power on earth, similar
to angels, and suppress their true nature. Since most angels
lose some of the presence when they fall, most fallen angels
develop a presence that can be used in the living world, and
their presence becomes pretty tolerable for humans and other
creatures that normally wouldn't be able to fully handle angelic
presence. For fallen angels, they typically are able to go into
full fallen angel form when they desire, and can use this to
match opponents who use more powerful transformations. Among
some fallen angels, some even have powerful dark arts
transformations, and can learn powerful arts involving certain
enhanced dark arts forms depending on their dark arts training.
As such, this tends to make each fallen angel different, with
some having unique forms based on their arts and their fallen
angel power. Usually though, most fallen angels are still able
to be countered using their arts like normal, and most opponents
can break through their enhanced dark arts with strong enough
counters to dark arts. While they have resistance to holy and
demonic power, they are still hurt by it, and typically, neutral
human powers work better against fallen angels than angel or
demon powers. For Zenrael, his form is mostly just a physical
manifestation of his fallen angel form, where he powers himself
with soul powered dark arts to gain a fallen angel dark arts
form that grants him a very powerful form. However, he mostly
only use this on archangels, since the power is typically not
needed against most beings.
Weaknesses:
- Fallen angels have a corrupted nature, compared to angels, and
this shows in their abilities like their aura of the fallen and
their fallen light. Like how angels have to worry about sin,
fallen angels usually have to worry about their corrupted
natures, in which typically they become more corrupted the
longer they are on earth. Once they are corrupted enough, they
will become demons, and eventually join the ranks of hell. Due
to this, most fallen angels that stick to their fallen angel
power typically try to avoid corrupting themselves further. As
such, most of them have to avoid using certain dark arts like
corrupted darkness, because it can corrupt them more over time
unless they are skilled enough with it to avoid it. Fallen
angels typically enjoy staying on earth, and some don't even
rebel angels or demons. Depending on the fallen angel, they
might not even be against humanity, as some act like guardians,
though there are some that will try to misguide humanity or even
try to start their own rebellions against the forces of heaven
and hell. Overall, the corruption that makes their being is
usually more dangerous to peaceful fallen angels than fallen
angels who want to use their power for dangerous purposes, but
they still use their power to do what they need to do. To an
extent, some fallen angels have egos that also act as weaknesses
to them, since some actually fall for good reason. Depending on
the fallen angel, some are so egotistical that they see even
other fallen angels as inferior to them. Zenrael is usually a
calm and collected person, but he has been known to get angry
with people, usually if they start insulting his former brother,
Vobu. Zenrael's anger towards what Heaven did to Vobu is one of
his biggest weaknesses, and using that against him isn't that
hard.
- Another major weakness among fallen angels is that they are
nowhere near as organized as angels and demons are. Because most
fallen angels usually stick to themselves and have their own
goals, most don't work together, and some even will fight each
other if their goals conflict. This makes cooperation among
fallen angels difficult, and is partially why each fallen angel
uses their arts to create new servants from dead humans since
they don't typically trust each other. Most fallen angels avoid
the forces of heaven and hell, since they are usually not on
good terms, and most fallen angels will usually try to actively
avoid threats to their own existence. The only tiem fallen
angels typically work together is if there is a bigger issue, or
they have similar interests in removing a certain obstacle,
though this is typically rare. Even among the The'Galin
conflict, most fallen angels are still doing their own thing
rather than getting involved with heaven and hell's battles in
the conflict as some are still killing angels and demons outside
of the conflicts. Some have such a hatred for angels and demons
that they are willing to risk the universe being unmade to get
their revenge on angels and/or demons. Of course, the lack of
organization is also a big weakness to them if they were ever to
be hunted down, since they would be easier to take down by a
group since they don't have an organized group like angels have
in heaven or demons have in hell. And like angels, most demons
can also be killed by other powerful beings, like Death,
Toranoraos, God, and even Galian.
- Almost all of a fallen angel's dark arts have counters in
other arts, such as necromancy typically being counterable by
those that use holy energy, or use healing magic on undead that
acts like purification. While there are a lot of options for
dark arts, there are just as many, if not more counters for
their dark arts out there. Holy or celestial arts are a great
way to fight dark arts and demonic arts alike, which works great
against dark arts. However, the most useful thing for fighting a
fallen angel will always be neutral powers, thanks to their
resistance to holy and demonic power. With them living in the
living worlds more than anything, they are more vulnerable to
the neutral powers of the world more than most angels and demons
would be since their natures are typically able to be destroyed
more easily by neutral powers. Fallen angel powers also work
great on each other, since corrupted power (which is a fallen
angel's specialty) also works on other corrupted beings. While a
fallen angel can't damage themselves with their own energy,
other fallen angels can kill other fallen angels and this makes
them each other's own enemies as well as them having enemies in
angels and demons. Almost every fallen angel ability is also
counterable just like angelic abilities, as usually the only
real difference is that the fallen angels have corrupted
natures, with exception of their dark arts which are unique to
them. For Zenrael, he is a master dark arts user, so opponents
usually should have some other power to fight him with. It's
usually recommended to use something neutral in nature, rather
than holy or demonic, since his dark arts have some resistance
to holy and demonic abilities, though strong enough users can
still counter his dark arts to a degree with strong enough holy
arts.
- Interrupting a fallen angel's regeneration and killing them
typically requires special weapons in order to kill them just
like normal angels. Fallen angels can be killed by normal angel
blades (which they keep when they fall, so even fallen angels
use angel blades), archangel blades, and by certain weapons
designed to kill angels. Fallen 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 fallen angels and
archangels alike. Varanium is also a good way to interrupt
fallen angel regeneration, as fallen angel 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.
- Much like angels, there are also other abilities and items
that also do more damage to fallen angels. One such weapon are
special brass knuckles carved with Enochian sigils, that can be
used to temporarily interrupt a fallen angel's power if they are
hit with it just like that of a normal angel. Specifically, this
weapon was designed by the British Men of Letters to fight
angels and fallen 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 or even a fallen angel. The first method is using a
burning ring of holy oil to trap an angel or fallen 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,
though fallen angels typically resort to it at times to hide
from other beings. 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 or fallen 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, though archangel grace
typically comes back much more quickly.
- Unlike normal angels, fallen angels usually have special
exorcisms that have to used against them. Unlike angels who are
vulnerable to specific Enochian exorcisms, fallen angels are
vulnerable to specific exorcisms that are a mix of Enochian and
Biblical Hebrew, as the exorcisms that were developed were
developed in biblical Hebrew, mixed with some Enochian. However,
this still works like typical exorcisms, in which fallen angels
can be cast out of an area temporarily, which can be useful
against fallen angels that may seem to be too strong for an
opponent. Unlike angels who are sent to heaven, fallen angels
are sent to a random location in the world, and if they end up
somewhere they don't know, it could take them up to a week to
get back to the place they were cast out of, as ending up in
random locations can typically be a big deal to fallen angels if
they don't know areas they are sent. Some can even be sent to
other worlds, in which they could be gone even longer if they
don't know where they end up. However, with a few rare random
cases, most fallen angels end up somewhere random on earth.
Spoken exorcisms can leave an angel stranded longer than using
blood sigils to cast them out, but spoken exorcisms are harder
to pull off as a result while blood sigils are more dependable
by don't keep fallen angels away as long. Aside from the
exorcisms being different and the destinations the fallen angels
are sent to, the exorcisms mostly work the same and can be used
the same as they would against angels.
- There are other sigils that are also effective against fallen
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 and
biblical Hebrew. When used, they de-power any fallen angels
nearby, though they have reduced effects on fallen archangels,
since archangels are more powerful, though it does reduce the
power of an archangel temporarily. This works temporarily,
allowing opponents to fight fallen angels more easily while it's
in effect. However, the angel's powers do return after a while.
The next sigil type is the fallen angel trap, which is designed
specifically like the biblical Hebrew equivalent of an angel
trap. These are drawn on the ground or on a surface, and if a
fallen 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 fallen angels. This works mostly the same as
Enochian sigils work on 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 using Enochian and biblical Hebrew.
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 a fallen 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 fallen angels, since one can
usually use this to trap a fallen angel in a room if they are
trying to escape from the fallen angel. The last sigil is one
that wards a place from being able to be found by angels, which
is the same for fallen angels as it is for angels (meaning one
doesn't need a specific ward special for fallen 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: Zenrael is normally a pretty cool-headed person,
usually always walking around with something of a nature that
seems to make him of interest to others. He has a very
charismatic nature, and often comes across as being pure
business, probably because of the suit he always wears. even
when having fun, he is always seen in a suit, and he almost
always looks professional. Aside from some anger when someone
insults his brother, Vobu, he is usually someone that is pretty
respectable, aside from some sarcasm he gives his enemies.
Zenrael has a fairly smooth way of talking, and is very good at
getting people on his side, and is pretty good at reading people
overall. When among humans, Zenrael tends to just seem like a
charismatic person, though when he reveals his nature, his
darkness can frighten most people, and if he is wanting to eat
someone, Zenrael's shift to his sharp teeth that devour people
can be terrifying to almost anyone. In battle, Zenrael is a very
smart, and knows that power isn't everything, even if he
overpowers most people's arts. Zenrael is a strategist in
battle, often using his powers in the most useful way possible,
as he's come up with a lot of dark arts of his own to counter
certain unique abilities, and has found ways around some
dangerous abilities. Zenrael even almost wiped out an ancient
race of giants in biblical times that many were nephilim, which
shows how dangerous he is in a battle that he can take on higher
level beings and find ways to win battles most people would see
as unwinnable. While he's not as much into science and certain
other knowledge like his brother was, he is still very smart in
battle.
Bio: This story starts out like many other versions of the
original angels Zenrael and Vobu. Zenrael and Vobu were two twin
Grigori angels that were never on par with the others. Among
their siblings, their short stature and their rabbit forms were
often the subject of bullying by other angels, since they were
an elite battle unit. Many of the Grigori that were also Watcher
angels usually had forms like lions, wolves, or tigers, but Vobu
and Zenrael were the only ones with non-violent forms, with Vobu
being a white rabbit, and Zenrael being a black rabbit, to which
they were often considered twin brothers, even among themselves.
However, during an incident when Zenrael was almost killed by a
group of angels by accident, Vobu got angry and snapped, drawing
on dark arts in order to slaughter the angels that were present,
corrupting himself in the process. Vobu did kill the angels and
save his brother from death, but was cast out of Heaven by
Sariel, despite Zenrael trying to defend his brother and tell
her that they were acting in self defense. Despite Zenrael's
pleas to not cast out is brother, Sariel was forced to cast him
out anyway after Vobu used dark arts and corrupted his being to
become a fallen angel.
Afterwards, Vobu and Zenrael hung out on earth with many of the
other fallen angels, which increased over time. Vobu slowly
became more powerful, and then gained immense dark arts and
demonic arts power after he became a demon. Zenrael stayed a
fallen angel, staying in dark arts instead of using demonic
arts, but helped his brother any way he could. However, Vobu
wasn't accepted by Hell, as they saw him as too dangerous even
for them since his goal to rule humanity and raise them as food
for those that eat humans led to even demons turning on him,
even though some supported Vobu. However, the main issue came
when Vobu was hunted down by Michael and Clair, who foresaw a
future where Vobu would one day replace Lucifer and start a new
war on Heaven, so they hunted down Vobu before he could get
powerful enough to take on Lucifer. Zenrael was spared from this
fate, but Vobu was killed by Michael and Clair. As news reached
Zenrael, Zenrael chose to stay in his small corner of the world,
growing in his dark arts abilities and taking a new name and
title: Fallen Angel Lord Zenrael Vobu, to acknowledge that the
only family he considered was his brother, and used the Vobu
name as their main name. He vowed to get revenge on Heaven the
only way he could, by misleading humans and corrupting as many
people headed for Heaven as possible. After building
organizations and using organizations created by his brother,
Zenrael became one of the most influential and powerful fallen
angels known to Heaven.
Zenrael is also the one who helped the Hazeldines during their
war with the Darkfires, after Vobu had originally turned
Dovelthain and his wife into vampires when they were just the
Miura family. After Vobu's death, the family turned to King
Satan, since Vobu wasn't able to answer their call for his help.
And when King Satan didn't answer their call for help, one of
Zenrael's minions who heard their summoning for help came to
help them. Zenrael, after hearing about the Hazeldine's
problems, agreed to help them in power, teaching them demonic
ritual binding dark arts to allow them to match the Darkfires,
but in return, they'd owe Zenrael a favor whenever he desired to
call it in. This left many of the lesser members of the
Hazeldines in fear, since Dovelthain was known as a very
sadistic person who didn't care how much evil that Zenrael would
want him to do. After Alice defeated Dovelthain and took his
place, Alice's sister Alison Hazeldine tried to separate the
clan from Zenrael, but Alison was almost completely erased by
her demon after Zenrael destroyed her bond to her demon, which
resulted in Alice having to defeat her sister, which left them
both half dead after the fight before other Hazeldines rescued
them and treated their injuries. Luckily, Alison's bond was
restored afterward, but Alice and Alison realized the danger of
being bound to Zenrael, and tried to avoid him and whatever he
would ask for from the clan.
Zenrael continued his life among humans, gaining influence in
groups and slowly doing his own part to corrupt humans, trying
to avoid humanity if he could. He managed to get Heaven away
from him after he threatened Michael and threatened to consume
the soul of his daughter, Athena if he tried to hunt him down
like he hunted down his brother. When Michael tried to find
another way, Zenrael offered another deal, which was that he
would only devour souls headed to Hell, and wouldn't devour
souls headed for Heaven. While this didn't cover those he could
make his servants, and didn't cover him trying to use his
influence to corrupt humans, it did at least make sure that
Zenrael wouldn't devour souls headed for Heaven, and Heaven
decided to use Zenrael's "corruption" attempts at humanity to
test humans and build faith, secretly using Zenrael's efforts
for their own gain. Though Zenrael figured this out quickly, he
slowly started to lose some influence when heaven started
helping people he was corrupting, and putting them on the right
path through influence from the grand priest angels.
After a battle against his universe's angels, and eventually
having the archangels hunting him down, he found out about the
Exiles and the Brotherhood when they came to his universe on a
mission to stop a group that was trying to take over other
universes. After finding out there was a version of Vobu alive
in his universe, Zenrael left his world and decided to go to the
Exiles universe to make a life there instead. When he got there,
he joined his alternate brother, and helped Vobu run his bar,
the Rabbit's Nest. The two formed a partnership, combining their
groups which included some alternate universe Hazeldines and a
group known as the Tribe of Vobu, along with Zenrael's own
organization, The Black Rabbit Organization. Zenrael eventually
became a crime lord in the Exiles universe, and started setting
up ties to many different criminal groups to gain more traction
for Vobu's bar. Since Zenrael had run one of Phantom's bars in
his universe, Zenrael was able to make Vobu's bar a bigger
success, and now Vobu's bar has become one of the bigger bars in
the world. These days, Zenrael is often seen with Vobu, and the
two work together to run Vobu's bar and get souls for Phantom.
