RP Profile: Celeste Coerullus
By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: October 28, 2018, 7:47 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"I will save this world... Not through violence, but uniting
people together! If we work together, we can do anything!"
"If we could move past our hatred and work together... We'd find
we're not all that different... Demi-gods, angels, demons, and
humans can get along if they just understand that we all want to
survive. And together that becomes far easier than working
alone."
"Everyone compares me to Sariel... But I'm my own person. I
really don't want to be associated with her in any way if I can
help it..."
"When I got my angel power... I was happy. Not because I wanted
to fight... I hate fighting. But... I wanted to fly. Having
wings is something I think everyone has dreamed about at one
point or another. That was the part of being an angel I wanted
to enjoy. I wanted to see the world from high in the sky, flying
with my own wings. I wanted the freedom to see the world as I
want to see it."
"I will get stronger. You'll see I'm not some weak child!" -
Celeste when she was nearly killed by Sariel and was saved by
the Ellimist.
"Ever since I was young... Everyone keeps saying I'm some
reincarnation or something... I don't even know how I got my
angel powers... But apparently I'm set up for some destiny I
can't control."
During training with Gabriel.
Gabriel: You're losing focus. Your enemies won't wait for you to
regain focus.
Celeste: I know, Uncle Gabriel... But this power... It's hard to
draw out... I don't know why.
Gabriel: Probably because you've only tapped into part of your
power, and you won't gain some of your power till Sariel is
either dead or lost her power...
Celeste: Can I really not draw out more power?
Gabriel: You can... But try not to rush it. You have me here to
help train you, and I know another archangel who can train you
better than me.
"I'm not sure how she was made... I suspect someone experimented
with one of her parents to give them angel power, which was
never brought out, or one of her ancestors was one of Sariel's
created holy magic users, since we know now that at least some
of the holy magic users that Sariel created must have had some
angel power since Huw and Clair were never meant to have
Sariel's power. We'll probably never know. All we know now is
that Celeste has been prophesied to replace Sariel someday...
And Sariel appears to not want to stand around and let that
happen." - The Ellimist to Gabriel when Gabriel came back to
life and tasked him to train Celeste.
Name: Celeste Coerullus
Age: Unknown
Species: Human with Angel Power
Gender: Female
Hunter Group/Team: None
Weapons:
- Schintillate: This weapon is an archangel blade given to
Celeste, reforged into a sacred sword, similar to Emi Yusa's
sacred sword. This weapon is a reforged archangel blade with
enhanced holy power, designed for Celeste and her abilities.
It's main ability is the generation and gathering of light, a
power that Celeste has stronger than most angels. This weapon is
a one handed sword, and being an archangel blade, it is able to
negate almost any supernatural regeneration, even those like
Lucifer and Sariel. This weapon gains power from holy energy,
absorbing it into the celestial gems on the sword's blade and
handle to be able to enhance it's effectiveness and enhance it's
cutting ability in battle. This weapon is a one handed sword,
designed for swift and fast strikes. This weapon specializes in
killing demons and angels, but can kill even other deities as
well since it's a sword designed to kill almost anything since
it's a reforged archangel blade. This also helps enhance
Celeste's angel abilities, which she's still learning to focus,
making it so she doesn't have to concentrate so hard.
- Holy Scabbard: Unlike most swordsman, Celeste's sword sheath
is a weapon unto itself, in which she uses this to attack
opponents and defend against attacks. The holy scriptures on
this grant her sheath a powerful defense, enhancing the sheath
so it can block most attacks, even if they're stronger than the
sheath itself. In a fight, she often uses the sheath to block
attacks while she uses her sword to attack, or uses the sheath
to attack an opponent to open them up for a sword attack. This
weapon can block and act as a shield, even though it's a bit
thin, as it's designed to catch opponents off guard when she
uses it as a weapon. This weapon can slash someone just as
easily as her sword, since the scriptures on it empower it and
Celeste's Shingetsu style can cut even with just the sword. This
sheath can also fire holy energy projectiles, being able to
focus holy energy as well. This sheath has the same ability to
kill angels and demons as a normal angel blade, able to
interrupt regeneration to some supernatural creatures if they
are holy based or unholy based.
Angelic Abilities:
- Inherited Archangel Abilities: It isn't known where in
Celeste's family tree these powers came from or if these powers
are even from an angelic ancestor, but Celeste has angelic
power, being a nephilim type angel. She has the angelic powers
of Sariel, but without Sariel's god fragments. Celeste has
archangel power, but she isn't stronger than a normal angel
currently, as she's still finding her powers and learning to use
them, though she has learned to use most basic angel powers,
like holy energy, holy light and her moonlight abilities. She
also has Sariel's wicked light of the fallen power, which
weakens those with holy power, and weakens holy power. Celeste
isn't too powerful yet, but she's slowly growing in her
abilities. Though she is of archangel power, she isn't all that
powerful yet, still learning how to draw out her power.
- Reincarnation of Sariel: When Celeste was young, a human
priest had a vision of Celeste taking Sariel's place in Heaven,
and prophesied that Celeste would one day become the new Sariel,
taking her place. It isn't known when or how Celeste will take
Sariel's place, but currently, it is known that at some point,
if Sariel dies or loses her angelic power and god fragments,
then Celeste will inherit that power. Celeste has a natural
connection, which when Sariel loses her power, then Sariel's
power will transfer over to Celeste. Celeste herself doesn't
understand how this works, but according to the Ellimist, when
Sariel dies or loses her power and god fragments, they will
transfer to Celeste, and it is likely Celeste will be the new
lord of Heaven when this happens. Of course, Celeste is nowhere
near strong enough to get close to matching Sariel, even if she
did get Sariel's power.
- Archangel Divine Aura: Angels have incredible holy aura, as
they radiate in their angel forms with divine celestial force,
which is enhanced by Celeste's archangel power. This aura not
only shows an angel's power, but also acts as an defense,
dampening any blows them might take. This aura generates from
Celeste's spirit, and is far more powerful than a normal angel's
aura, but not as powerful as an archangel's aura. In Celeste's
angelic power, this aura isn't visible, and acts like a passive
defense. Since this form is based in angelic power rather than
elemental power like some auras, this aura relies on the divine
energy to power it. While strong though, demonic and dark
weapons and powers can more easily pierce this aura, as one
might expect, as can aura breaker weapons and powers. Celeste's
aura isn't as strong as an archangel's, and can be more easily
pierced by tougher opponents, as this aura only gets stronger as
Celeste develops more of her angel power.
- Enhanced Holy Energy/Celestial Force: Having angel power,
Celeste has advanced holy energy and celestial force, which is
enhanced by her archangel power. Her enhanced holy energy is
holy energy enhanced by her archangel power, which does more
damage than normal holy energy. This is a natural holy energy to
her angel power, as it replaces normal holy energy most angels
use. She can also use celestial force, the highest level holy
energy that archangels developed to fight demon princes and high
level demonic entities, in which celestial force is an
amplification using positive spirit energy to amp holy energy.
Celeste's normal enhanced holy energy does less damage, but
costs less power to use, while his celestial force is far
stronger, but costs twice as much power to use. This requries
Celeste to manage her power, using holy energy against weaker
opponents and saving his celestial force for more dangerous
opponents.
- Enhanced Holy Light: Celeste also has enhanced holy light
manipulation, in which she can use this holy light to attack
opponents. Celeste can use this light manipulation to attack
people or she can also use it to generate lightning and control
lightning. Though lightning really isn't the main focus of this
power, as it's focused more in the power of light than
lightning. This holy light is far more powerful than her normal
holy energy, being the same type of holy light that many angelic
light users use. This counters darkness and shadow powers, as
well as being able to be used effectively against dark and
demonic opponents. However, demonic and dark powers can more
easily counter this power, as light's natural counter is
darkness and holy power's natural counter is unholy power.
- Primordial Holy Light: Very similarly to holy energy vs
celestial force, primordial holy light is a highly advanced
version of Celeste's normal holy light. This works just like
normal holy light, but is far stronger and takes more power to
use. Not many people know that primordial light goes into making
archangels, something that Celeste learned to draw on, which
most archangels never actually figure out. And after her
training in the Tower of Heaven, Celeste learned to use this
light. This light is far stronger than normal light, and can
break through most shadow and darkness powers, as well as do
heavy damage to high level demons. This light is drawn from the
primordial light of creation, something that Celeste has some
access to thanks to her training. However, while strong, Celeste
doesn't have full control of this light yet, and this takes a
lot of energy to use in a fight, making it not useful to her
currently when she has celestial force.
- Rings of Light: This is Celeste's own unique angel power,
which isn't part of her inherited powers she gets from Sariel.
This power lets Celeste use her holy light to create halos which
she can use in combat, creating halos/rings of light that can
even slice through metal. This is the main power she uses in
battle, since this is the only power she has that differentiates
her from Sariel. This power uses powerful holy light, and can be
used to create these halos around her. These halos can be used
and resized as needed, with the shape being manipulated to do
different things. There are three main uses for this power. The
first is obviously attacking and throwing rings at opponents to
slice through a lot of stronger substances. The second is that
she can use this to resize and then shrink it if she manages to
control it to get it around someone that can be used to trap
them. For trapping, this is most useful on demons, as Celeste
can put a demon trap symbol in the energy so demons can't escape
the trap. This lets her use this as a way to restrain people,
assuming they can't break out of the energy with enough force to
shatter the rings. The last is that she can amplify someone's
holy power but putting the halo on their head, similar to an
angel, and boost their holy power immensely. This power can be
dodged, and if trapped, enough physical force can be used to
break out, usually through enhanced energies like mana
amplification or chi amplification. The rings as attacks can
also be broken by stronger energies.
- Wicked Light of the Fallen: This is a power that makes Sariel
who she is, who is an archangel that judges other angels and
determines who is considered worthy to remain in Heaven. This is
another of Sariel's powers that Celeste has. This power fires a
special beam which negates any holy power, specifically, angel
powers and celestial force. If this beam hits, it severely
weakens any holy power that the opponent might have. This works
on any angel, even fallen angels and demons with holy power, and
weakens them. This also works on holy weapons, weakening holy
weapons severely if the beam hits. This looks like a small
piercing beam, but does no physical damage to an opponent other
than concussive impact force other than the weakening of holy
energy. Unlike Sariel, who can cast angels from Heaven, Celeste
has no ability to cast or remove grace from angels, and can only
use this to weaken other holy users. This ability has to be
dodged, as weapons and shields hit by this can still have their
power weakened (if it's holy power). This only works on holy
power, and doesn't work on demonic power. This also isn't as
effective against deities, as this only weakens their holy
power, and not the godly portion of their power. Those affected
by it can regain some of their holy power by concentrating more,
but this can stack and eventually run someone out of holy power
if it's used on them enough times.
- Angel of Moonlight: Just like Sariel, Celeste can gain power
from the moon, drawing power from it and using it's energy to
fight opponents. This power uses lunar light, and is one of
Sariel's main unique abilities that Celeste inherited. This
power lets Celeste enhance her power with the moonlight, and can
make her stronger the closer she is to the moon. The second part
of her power is that she can use her light manipulation to
manipulate the moon light energy, using lunar energy in battle
to fight opponents. This lets her use this energy similar to
light, but this is not light in the traditional sense and has to
be used differently. The main use of this is to counter light
users, since lunar light is a type of counter to light as lunar
light is reflected light. Celeste cannot create special moon
light energy yet like red moon energy or blue moon energy, but
she is slowly learning, and can use this moonlight energy only
when the moon is out. However, this light does strengthen those
that draw power from the moon like her, like some werewolves and
other angels and creatures of moon light.
- Holy Magic and Celestial Magic: After training with an
alternate of Abel, Celeste learned how to use her holy magic and
use celestial magic as she not only inherited Sariel's holy
magic, but learned celestial magic from Abel. This left Celeste
with highly enhanced magic abilities, including holy attack
magic and holy buff magic. She cannot use elemental magic yet,
even though she does have the potential to. For the most part,
she has a lot of attack spells like Holy, an advanced holy spell
designed to purify strong demonic or dark auras, and other holy
energy attack spells. Most of them are the same in nature, that
use holy magic to fire some sort of projectile at someone, some
being normal magic, and some being explosive. She can also use
this to buff or amp allies, and use this to heal others as well,
including healing herself if she concentrates. She also has
highly amped versions of her support magic and attack magic in
her celestial magic, which replicates the art of celestial magic
the grand preist angels use. Her celestial magic is stronger
than normal holy magic, but requires more power to use, whereas
her holy magic uses less power, but is weaker. And because she
learned celestial magic without inheriting it like her normal
holy magic, she's still learning to control celestial magic
effectively in fights, something she simply needs to do through
experience.
- Divine Smite/Divine Lightning: With her angel power, Celeste
has enhanced smiting abilities and divine lightning. Her smiting
is more her just firing blasts of angelic energy, which is
designed to blast presences inside people, doing damage to those
possessed and damaging the being possessing the person. This
smiting ability is usually designed for demons who possess
humans, doing more damage to them. The divine smiting can also
be used to burn through angel warding, a technique angels
developed to counter human and demon angel warding, though this
takes concentration and effort, and something Celeste hasn't
even mastered yet. Celeste's other ability is calling divine
lightning from Heaven, through either summoning a bolt of divine
lightning, or summoning the power through himself to attack
opponents. Both of these abilities are holy abilities, and are
enhanced by Celeste's archangel power. Both of these are
counterable as one would think, with the smiting ability being
able to be blocked or dodged by shields, barriers or cover (as
long as the person isn't hit) and is only really effective
against those possessed by others. The divine lightning is
counterable just like normal lightning, just being a stronger
holy lightning, and things like water/ice can still counter this
lightning.
- Angel Healing and Warding: Angels are able to use their power
to heal others as well as heal themselves with concentration.
This also works on purifying people of impure influences or
poisons, and can wipe out most status affect with a few
exceptions. However, this does require concentration, and they
have to know what they're trying to heal and what influence
they're trying to purify. Celeste can also place wards on
people, making it so demons or angels can't possess them or
warding them so they can't be found or sensed by demons and
angels. This can be burned onto their bones, or on their skin.
The only way is for an angel or demon to remove it if they know
it's there. However, the wards can only be placed when Celeste
is in contact with someone. This is an advanced version of his
normal warding powers, in which he burns wards and marks on
people rather than just using paper. Since Celeste is still
learning how to do this, she can't always do this properly, and
is still learning how to properly create wards.
- Angel Radio: Just like normal angels, Celeste can hear people
who pray and focus on anyone who prays to god or to her
specifically. While most angels don't really get specific
prayers, they can hear general prayers, and Celeste can do this
as well. While she wouldn't normally get prayers to her
specifically, she, like others, take advantage of this power
when needed. Unless they are warded against angels, Celeste can
zero in on anyone who is praying. Celeste can use this to zero
in on anyone who prays, with her being able to pinpoint anyone
praying even if they're warded unless it's to a specific angel
other than her, then she can't hear the prayer. This isn't a
battle power, just being mostly for angels who answer prayers in
God's place and for angels to communicate. For Celeste, she has
to keep her connection to this secret, or those like Sariel
would track her down.
- Demon Damnation: Like most angels, Celeste is able to send
demons back to hell using his purification power. However, this
doesn't stop them from coming back, it only takes them out of
the equation temporarily until they can make it to a Hell's Gate
and make it back to earth. Angels can do this with either a
casting chant, or they can touch the forehead of a demon and use
their power to send a demon back to hell. This isn't permanent
though. Of course, this ends up being more of an inconvience to
demons than anything else as it doesn't hurt them. This is
useful for exorcism though, so that an angel can purify someone
possessed by a demon and put wards on them. This technique is
very useful for casting demons out of someone if they're
forcibly possessed, being good for freeing people, though
doesn't do much in terms of killing demons. This is more for
freeing people without killing the vessel, rather than simply
stabbing with an angel blade, killing both the vessel and demon.
Celeste is also still learning when it comes to this power, as
she's still learning the Enochian chants to do this. But she
likes using this more than normal demonic destruction abilities
since it doesn't kill a host and simply sends demons back to
hell.
- Angelic Resurrection: Angels can bring the dead back to life.
However, they have to have both the soul and the body (or a
piece of the body) in order to do so. Depending on the
situation, they may not need to physically have the soul if the
soul is in Heaven, or they can retrieve the soul from Hell.
However, this is a rare case that an angel would ever resurrect
a human as it is against the rules for angels to resurrect
people without direct consent from heaven normally, or have the
permission of Death and/or Toranoraos before doing so. Celeste
hasn't even attempted using this power, and doesn't even know
where to start with it, but she does have this ability if she
were to learn to use it. Of course, the same rules to any angel
would still apply.
- Sleep: This lets an angel put someone to sleep by touching
their forehead. This requires physical contact and as long as
they remain in contact with the opponent for at least 1 full
combat round, they can temporarily put them to sleep. Enemies
can break out of this before the effect is complete. This move
overrides any mental barriers as it uses an angel's power to
shut down the conscious mind completely. This power doesn't do
any physical damage, and requires physical touch to the person's
forehead in order to use, but when used, this overrides psychic
defenses, assuming the angel stays in physical contact till the
person is put to sleep. Opponents put to sleep usually can wake
back up in as soon as 2 combat rounds, and is really only useful
for knocking out allies they want to keep out of situations.
This is 50/50 for Celeste, as she really hasn't had many chances
to use this power.
- Archangel Regeneration: Due to the archangel's design, angels
heal from almost any injury, and aside from things that can kill
an archangel, cannot be killed by most means. While they still
take damage like humans, and can still be killed by strong
enough weapons, they regenerate most injuries, even being able
to regenerate from being blasted to bits. As long as the angel
isn't completely destroyed to the point where there's nothing
left of them, they can regenerate. However, things like
archangel blades, the first blade, and other weapons designed to
kill archangels can still kill any archangel. And while they
cannot be killed by normal means, it is possible to still cut
them to pieces and take them out of a fight, or more creative
opponents can figure out ways to try and take the archangel out
of fights. And as they take more damage, their regeneration will
slow down, with more damage taking longer to regenerate. For
Celeste, she can regenerate, but her regeneration is only at
normal angelic regeneration right now, and she can still be
killed by normal angel blades or anything that kills normal
angels.
- Teleportation: Much like angels, archangels can teleport
anywhere in the world they desire as long as they know where
they are going. This can be as simple as vanishing into thin
air, or some angels teleport away in a burst of light. They are
also able to teleport others with them. This is a very simple
teleportation, just designed for getting around. This isn't too
useful in battle, mostly only being useful outside of fights.
And the angel has to know where they're going, or they could end
up going somewhere random in the world. Angels also cannot
travel to other dimensions without help, though they can travel
through time to an extent, but any action in time travel simply
creates a new timeline, rather than changing time. Though
Celeste isn't nearly strong enough to teleport through time, as
she's barely mastered normal teleportation.
Holy Arts (Learned through training with Blademaster Raven using
her angelic power):
- Holy Art #1 Sho (Thrust Wave): This fires a small burst of
energy from the index finger with great force. This can be fired
multiple times. This energy is just a short burst of power which
can be used to hit an opponent with pure concussive force. The
spirit energy doesn't do anything beyond just doing impact
damage. This technique can be very easily dodged by fast
opponents as this technique is fairly small. This isn't too
strong, but it can still be useful in a fight.
- Holy Art #4 Byakurai (Pale Lightning): This technique uses
highly concentrated spirit energy to fire a bolt of lightning to
use against a target. This technique is desigend for piercing an
opponent, and can blast through armor if it hits an opponent.
This technique is hard to block, but can still be dodged by
opponents. This technique is most useful at close range, where
it can be fired from the finger tips at an opponent. This
technique boasts piercing power, even though it's not too strong
of an attack.
- Holy Art #22 Jugeki Byakurai (Heavy Strike Pale Lightning):
This is a modified version of the normal Byakurai technique,
which is more highly concentrated and takes the form of a narrow
red beam. This technique is designed to pierce opponents, with
even more power than the normal Byakurai, even being able to
pierce opponents from a considerable distance away. This
technique is designed for higher level opponents that normally
wouldn't be pierced by the normal Byakurai. While this can be
dodged, it is unwise to block this technique as it is designed
for piercing defenses. Even though it is a red beam instead of a
white one, other than being more concentrated, this isn't too
different from Byakurai.
- Holy Art #31 Shakkaho (Red Fire Cannon): This move generates a
red ball of spiritual energy from their hand or from both hands.
This technique can be small or large depending on how much
energy is put into it. The blast can be similar to a fireball,
or be fired like a beam at opponents. This technique is
explosive, and expldoes when it hits it's intended target.
Opponents can block this explosion of spiritual energy, or dodge
it if they can move fast enough. This technique is one of the
easiest to learn, and is more often than not one of the main
kido techniques soul reapers learn as it is very useful in
battle. The strength depends solely on how much energy is put
into this, but more energy put into this means more energy spent
using the attack.
- Holy Binding Art #4 Hainawa (Slithering Rope): This technique
creates a crackling yellow energy rope from the hands, which is
then fired at an opponent, which is designed to wrap around and
restrain them with the rope. This rope can be moved using the
hands, as the end of the rope is always tied to the users hands.
If used correctly, once this is wrapped around an opponent, they
can actually pull hard enough on the rope, making it dig in and
damage the opponent if they have the strength to do so. Unlike
how it looks, this technique doesn't actually shock opponents,
as it is just made of spiritual energy and this technique is
still designed for restraining. Blocking is not recommended with
this technique as it can be used to grab an opponent even if it
doesn't wrap completely around. Dodging this is the best way to
avoid the move.
- Holy Binding Art #8 Seki (Repulsion): This move generates a
orb of light blue energy wherever the user wants it around their
body. Usually this goes on the back of the hand when blocking or
on the legs when one is using their leg to block a physical
attack. When an opponent strikes the technique, the are repelled
by it, taking concussive damage from the attack as it repels
them back. This technique can not only do impact damage by
blasting opponents back, but can also be used to knock an
opponent back temporarily to set up another attack. Avoiding
this technique is as simply as not hitting the blue energy orb.
The orb sticks to the spot where it's created (Aka the back of
the hand or the leg it's created on) and cannot move on it's
own, making it easy to avoid if one knows how the technique
works.
Shingetsu Style:
- Shingetsu Style: After her combat training, Celeste learned
the Shingetsu style from training with a Shingetsu style user.
This style is a technique based style which uses sword fighting
and cutting amplification using one's spirit, which concentrates
power into a more confined style that can slice through almost
anything. This style is highly concentrated, and through
training with both London Kendra and Blademaster Raven (the
Olympus version), Celeste learned the Shingetsu style. Her
training had been kept secret from everyone, so no one knows yet
about her training, but Celeste is fully trained in the
Shingetsu style. Though she is still learning some finer points,
like she still has yet to learn how to tap into the swordsman's
wavelength, as she couldn't figure out how to do it. She's also
had to modify it slightly from it's original style since she
doesn't use a japanese katana blade like most Shingetsu users
and has to change the focus of her blade's attacks.
- Nadeshiko (Armor Piercer): This technique uses focused
physical power to focus an attack to split an object or person
in two. This focuses their power into a concentrated slash
attack, whether by using an open palmed strike, or use a sword
to stab, and create a slash that splits someone/something in two
by focus. This technique doesn't require physical strength, only
focus to do. This technique focuses physical power into a thread
like attack, which focuses it more in a line than in a punch or
kick (if used for physical combat). This technique, when used
with a sword, is designed for easier slicing of stronger
materials. This is one of the two main focuses of the Shingetsu
style, as this is what the style was designed for.
- Battojutsu (Sword Draw Style): This is a special style of
sword draw, designed to utilize speed. There are different
levels of this style, which not only increase the strength of
the strike, but because drawing a sword is a fast motion, sword
drawing is a powerful skill used by many sword styles, usually
under the name of Laijutsu. The most basic form of this is
simply drawing the sword, straight into an attack. This
technique can obviously only be used when the sword is sheathed.
Though he can use this to fire powerful shockwaves as well,
using his divine lightning to amplify the shockwaves. This style
is designed for speed, which ups the techniques strength as
well. This is the second main focus of the style, with many
techniques being focused on sword draws.
- Slidestep: Using friction to his advantage, this steping
method uses friction to boost a user's speed, and is this
style's main stepping method used in the sword style. This step
is designed to take advantage of friction, making it work for
the user, and is very similar to other speed-based stepping
methods otherwise. When in use, this lets the user disappear
from view while in motion, but reappears when they stop moving,
similar to Flashstep or Sonido. The user can also be fast enough
to create afterimages when using this. This can be combined with
other stepping methods in order to create a more powerful
slidestep, however, this stepping method can interfere with the
stepping method techiques, so it's difficult to use effectively.
For Celeste, she can use her light-amp combat style to enhance
this slidestep so she can move faster.
- Twin Draw Attack: This move uses a seemingly normal battojutsu
move which uses a powerful sword draw to launch a strong and
speedy attack, but the difference is that in addition to the
sword slash, the user also uses the sheathe as a second attack,
striking with powerful enough force to break someone's bones if
it hits them. The second attack usually goes for the ribs and if
it hits, while it won't kill opponent, will usually break their
ribs (assuming their bones can be broken) or do damage to their
chest as it is designed to hit the side of their ribcage. With
the shingetsu style, this can be used to also slash an
unexpecting opponent, as most wouldn't think a sword sheate
could slash someone. For Celeste, this is one of her main uses
of the battojutsu portion of the style, as she uses both her
sword and sheath in her fighting style.
- Sword Slash Wave: This is one attack of the Shingetsu Style,
which concentrates one major slash wave to fire at opponents,
which then releases into a collection of smaller sword waves to
attack opponents. This attack is a concentrated attack that
separates after the inital shockwave is fired from the sword.
This move can attack multiple enemies, but is directed at the
area directly in front of the user. This technique is also
invisible, making it harder to dodge, though some can usually
tell by the displaced air waves on what is coming. This
technique is mean to appear as one sword wave, fooling opponents
into thinking it will just be one instead of a collection of
smaller waves.
- Countless Pedal Wave: This attack is an attack of the
Shingetsu Style, that uses powerful sword slashing shockwaves,
that are focused and powerful enough to bend the light around
them. The sword has to move swiftly and very fast so the sword
waves nearly overlap. The technique creates the optical illusion
of cherry blossom pedals around the sword and waves, but is
merely an optical illusion. It is possible to dodge these
attacks, but requires precise movement and very fast reflexes.
Depending on how many sword slashes happen, determines the
number of slashing waves.
- Cresent Slash: This is an attack of the Shingetsu Style, where
the move starts with an uppercut with the sword. This is
designed to get the user above their opponent. The move doesn't
fire a slashing shockwave, as the user doesn't want the person
to move too far away from the move. The second part of this
attack creates a downward thrust which releases multiple
crescent shockwaves from the sword as it hits the ground, going
off in front and to the sides of the user. This is designed to
hit from not only the front, but the sides of the user, and the
only spot it doesn't cover is behind the user.
- Two Sided Slash: This move is a powerful move that slices an
opponent from the front, as the user moves behind the opponent,
moving away slightly, then moving behind for another slash. The
user goes back and forth twice, for a total of four slashes. The
slashes don't slice all the way through the opponent, but slash
into the opponent. The move is then finished off with a sword
shockwave from midrange, blasting the opponent back, usually
knocking them into something for impact damage.
- Wave Slash: This move swings his sword, just out of range. And
instead of slicing the opponent, the move creates a shockwave,
which also doesn't hit the opponent directly, explodes into 7
slashes on the opponent. This is designed to misdirect opponents
so they try to move back away from the move, but instead move
right into the slashes that the wave explodes into. The 7
slashes are all focused on the midcenter of the opponent, so
while the moves aren't fatal, they do damage to vital areas of
the body.
- Dragon Hammer Slash: This move requires being above an
opponent. During this move, the user swings their sword
downward, using their downward momentum to carry and strengthen
the strike as the user strikes at the opponents shoulder. This
is meant to be used during a high jump from above an opponent.
Raven has modified this move so that when he hits the ground, he
can create a shockwave to knock everyone around him back when
his sword hits the ground.
- Dragon Soar Flash: This move uses an upward slash to strike at
an opponent's jaw, designed to slice their face off or block
another sword/weapon. If the opponent uses this properly, they
can use their free arm to apply force to the dull side of the
blade through either a punch to the blade or pressing the blade
upward.
- Earth Wave Slash: This move strikes the ground, using a
powerful shockwave to blast a slashing wave, which also sends
earth debris at an opponent with enough force to break their
bones. This move can be a close range or long range skill but is
meant to be used around mid range for maximum effectiveness.
- Sword Pull Slash: This move requires a dash, where the user
grabs the opponent, simultaneously pulling them into a sword
attack as they're attacking, creating a move where the opponent
is pulled into the attack. When the sword stab hits, they then
move away, pulling the sword out, which then creates a
shockwave, doing more damage to an opponent's injury as it opens
the wound further. This move requires precision to pull off, and
if done incorrectly, the shockwave won't work.
- Nine Head Dragon Slash: This move uses a powerful dash attack,
which uses incredibly speed and to attack 9 vital points at the
same time. This move is avoidable by fast opponents if they can
move out of the way of all 9 attacks. However, this takes a very
fast opponent. Depending on the weight, speed and power of an
opponent, this move can be used differently. For Raven, since he
is faster, this move is much harder to dodge, and he can
actually attack each vital twice, but the attacks are not as
powerful, so even if he hits with all 18 strikes, it usually
wouldn't be enough to kill an opponent. But it would be strong
enough to at least weaken them. The best way to avoid this is to
hit Raven before the attack hits the opponent.
- Crying Wave: This is a battojutsu technique that sheathes the
sword with such incredible speed that it creates a miniature
sonic boom, which then blasts opponents back away from the user.
This move is strong enough that it can temporarily deafen
someone as well as disorient them. This move doesn't affect
Raven, but can affect his allies if they are too close, so he
has to be careful. This can also be combo'd with other
battojutsu moves as it re-sheathes the sword.
- Slicing Sword Dance: This is one of the stronger Battojutsu
techniques, which uses a sword draw of incredible speed and
power. By holding the sword (while sheathed) in front in a
blocking motion, they user unsheathes about a third of the way
with enough power and speed that it creates a very powerful
shockwave, that blasts the opponent in front of them back. This
move is extremely dangerous because in addition to knocking the
opponent back, it leaves them open to be combo'd as the user can
then draw the sword and use another move that can be combo'd
into the strike. This move is extremely powerful, but has to be
done in a specific manner to work as it can't just be used
whenever the sword is drawn. The shockwave only fires in front
of the user.
- Soaring Dragon Slash: This is a battojutsu style technique
that is one of the strongest techniques this style can release.
This appears to be a normal battojutsu to most, however, the
things that set this apart is the extra step and the powerful
vortex that is created from the attack. When this move is used,
normally 3 steps are made and the battojutsu is made normally,
however, with this move, there is a fourth step, which is
usually not made because it endangers the leg of being in the
sword's path. However, this extra step is vital, and when done,
it boosts the speed and power of the strike to the point of
almost being invisible. Countering this move requires knowing
when the sword will be drawn and slashing before the move is
executed to stop the sword. This sword can break through weapons
and armor, and if the move is blocked, can create a vortex which
draws the opponent towards the user, which can then lead to the
user using other moves. The best way to avoid this is to not be
within range of the vortex, either teleporting away, or if fast
enough, getting behind the opponent where the vortex doesn't
affect the opponent.
Passive and Other Combat Abilities:
- Light-Based Combat Enhancement Style: This is a basic
enhancement of her fighting style using light, in which she can
use her holy light to amp her fighting style. This makes her
stronger and faster, letting her use light to enhance her combat
style. When using this with her stepping method, she can slide
more easily, reducing friction, making it easier for her to move
fast, and lets her accelerate faster when she starts trying to
move fast. This also enhances her strength, letting her hit
harder. The light can also form a slight shield, protecting her
from attack, though this part of the style is still imperfect,
as she is still developing this style. The main use is the
stepping method, which she has mostly worked the kinks out of
the speed part of the style, but still has some issues with the
defensive part.
- Focus Physical Power: This is a special combat technique that
grand priest angels developed. Unlike angels, they are not
afraid to use their physical strength to stop someone in a
fight. As such, they have learned to condense their strength
into small compact strikes to do more damage to opponents. While
many aren't stronger than very strong supernaturals, this lets
them at least stand a chance against them as they can focus far
better strength than most beings. However, as they don't have as
much physical strength, this is mostly good for exhausting and
knocking people out. For Celeste, she has the strength and focus
to use this basic combat style, which she learned from her
training with Abel. This is her secondary combat style though as
her Shingetsu style is her main style.
- Supernatural Hunter Training and Demon/Angel Trap/Ward
Knowledge: As part of her training, Celeste had to learn how to
use angel and demon traps and wards, learning what she could
about them in order to protect herself. Because she was always
hunted by angels, she knows the angel wards best, but has some
trouble with angel wards because they effect her too. However,
she can use demon traps and wards far more easily, being
knowledgable in chants, trap circles and other exorcisms. While
she can't use angelic wards and traps easily, she can use
angelic sigils to transport herself away when she needs to, as
they can cast her to a random location as well as any angel she
uses it on. Celeste also had to learn the strengths, weaknesses
and types of supernatural creatures, specifically of the
Christian Pantheon, though she is slowly learning more about
other Pantheons as well. Currently, she knows more about angel
and demon weaknesses than anything else, and doesn't really know
much yet on countering other pantheon creatures. For the most
part, she's only knowledgable on if her holy powers will work on
an opponent or not by what they are, such as vampires and
werewolves being weak to her holy power, but gods and other
angels probably not being hurt by it.
- Mark of God: Normally the god marks are used for recruiting
grand priest angels, but are also used to show certain people
who are chosen for a specific purpose. This is a mark that is
placed on those important to Heaven or some reason or another,
and designed to act as a symbol. However, the mark also acts as
an amplifier of holy abilities, specifically amping any angelic
abilities the person may possess. This mark acts not only as an
amplifier, but when someone dies, they can use this mark to be
reborn as an angel, normally being used to create new grand
priest angels. Celeste has this mark as well, though she didn't
gain this from Abel or any of the grand priest angels, and
appeared to be born with it. No one knows why, or how, but
assume that someone put the mark on her before she was born
unknown to Sariel and to Heaven.
- Archangel Shapeshift: Unlike Hell's Knights who take human
bodies, archangels (to some extent) simply shapeshift into
whatever form they want to take. This not only changes their
shape, but they can change their presence completely as well,
able to sense as any creature they shapeshift into. However, the
angel has to be familiar with the race in general in order to
change into it. And they cannot gain the supernatural abilities
of other races this way. They mostly change into humans in order
to interact with other humans. Unlike many angels, this negates
the need for a human vessel. For Celeste, this is a fairly
simple ability she really has no need for, since she is a human
already with angel power so she doesn't need to shapeshift.
Celeste also has the ability to change her presence, the only
thing she does use this for, in order to change her presence to
make it appear completely human, which she can do and
specializes in doing as she learned to do this while trying to
hide from Sariel for a long time.
- Invisible Angel Wings: Many human form angels are easy to
identify because when intense light is shined on them, the
shadows of angel wings can be seen behind them similar to most
angels. Normally, many angels keep their wings suppressed or
hidden, where the only way to show their wings is by shining a
strong enough light on them and seeing the shadow of their
wings. Usually, this is to keep wings from getting in the way,
since some angels have large wings that might get in the way
when they're fighting, or might be a target. Because of this,
many angels have the ability to make their wings intangible,
making it so they can't be attacked and making it where they
don't appear under normal circumstances. This is a standard
practice for angels used to being in human form, partly to keep
their identities secret, but also to keep opponents from
attacking their wings and possibly weakening them by destroying
their wings.
- Draw Power from Holy Areas and Items: If an angel is feeling
weak or needs to replenish their power, they can strengthen
their power by being around holy items, or staying in holy
places. Just as demons are able to replenish their power on
things like demon pentagrams or drinking blood of other demons,
angels are able to replenish their power through holy items and
places. Normally, places like churches are the best place to do
this, or places sanctified and blessed. When it comes to items,
bibles are the best thing for replenishing their power, as
powerful enough verses the angel believes in can be used to draw
holy power from the bible and strengthen them. This is also
possible through things like gripping blessed holy crosses, or
through splashing themselves with holy water. This is very
useful not just for healing, but can also be used to amp an
angel so that they can boost their abilities, acting as a
passive amp temporarily while the power runs through them.
Though most angels have a limit of how much they can use this,
as using it too much might oversaturate their power and cause
their bodies to not be able to contain their power.
- Calmed Mind: Thanks to a special training from Abel using a
technique similar to the Darkfire Disciplined Mind training,
Abel developed a similar technique in which grand priest angels
are able to use this to control their minds and nervous system,
letting them resist most mind control, and psychic powers that
involve taking control of the nervous system. This also makes
them immune to emotion based powers as they are able to balance
their emotions naturally. Celeste also has this training, being
able to control her mind completely and prevent those with mind
manipulation powers from affecting her. This was designed to
help her develop a defense against certain angels who use their
angelic power to invade other people's minds.
- Force of Will: When Celeste started out training in combat,
she had no natural talent for it, and tripped over her own feet.
However, while she has no natural combat talent, her one big
talent helped her get stronger and learn to fight. Celeste has a
strong will and is very determined. In training, she uses this
to keep herself going, even getting up to continue training
while unconscious. This is the one thing that makes her
stronger, and as she trains, she uses this in training, often
times using this even when she's past her limits. Of course,
this has downsides too, as using this after she's reached her
limits causes more damage to her body. While her angelic
regeneration can fix most injuries, damaging herself in battle
once she's past her limits can result in her weakening herself
for an enemy to attack and possibly finish her off.
- Supernatural Senses: Just like other angels, archangels can
sense other beings, as well as sense what people are. This lets
an angel read their environment, sensing anything alive and
sensing the presences of any living thing, assuming they don't
have the ability to suppress their presence. For angels
specifically, they are able to sense all creatures, but when it
comes to sensing other angels, they can not only sense an
angel's presence, but can also tell immediately which angel it
is, as long as it's an angel they know. All angels recognize
each other's presence, including certain fallen angels like
Satan and Lucifer, who almost all angels know. To some extent,
they can also sense demons, but don't have the same extensive
ability to know instantly who demons are the same way they do
with angels. For angels though, they also have the ability to
sense damage to other beings, such as going into one's mind to
determine how much damage to one's mind is present, or sensing
things like someone having no soul, or sensing presences inside
someone. Usually, more advanced sensing like this requires
physical touch though. Celeste can't recognize every angel or
demon, but she does know immediately if someone is an angel or
demon.
- Enhanced Archangel Strength, Speed, Defense and Stamina:
Celeste is not experienced as a fighter, but she's a very
skilled fighter none-the-less. She is fast enough to appear to
disappear from view, as well as being strong enough to slice
through metal (with concentration). She is also pretty durable
since she's an angel. While not as strong as some angels,
Celeste is quite a good fighter despite how many opponents seem
to think she is weak. Celeste's only real downside is her lack
of experience, as sometimes she gets overconfident when she has
the upper hand, or sometimes thinks she's going to lose because
of simple mistakes. Celeste is a pretty good fighter, but lacks
self confidence at the worst of times, then at other bad times
she might get overconfident and leave herself open. Though
despite the problems with her combat style, she's still a pretty
capable fighter in her own right.
Transformations:
- Enhanced Angelic Form: This form is actually her true form,
but is normally suppressed by the collar with the celestial
stone around her neck. Her normal form shows her wings as being
visible, and shows a halo over her head which most people would
associate with angels. This is an enhanced angel form which
amplifies her holy abilities and her combat abilities, letting
her compete with some higher level transformed beings. For the
most part, she doesn't really gain any new abilities, with this
just being an enhanced holy form she can go into. Since she
isn't a full angel, she takes a slightly more angelic form
through this transformation, instead of the form of a full angel
that can't be used on earth. However, due to the increased
strain of her true form and how her enhanced power is harder to
control over time, she keeps this suppressed, and only takes off
the collar for short periods when she wants to power up to her
real form.
Weaknesses:
- While archangels are normally very hard to kill, they can be
killed by archangel blades and by normal angel blades if they
take enough damage. Weapons like death scythes, the first blade,
and any other weapon designed to kill archangels can kill
Michael. High level demon powers can also kill Michael, with him
being just as vulnerable to high level demon powers as any
angel. For the most part, most angels all have the same
weaknesses in terms of weapons and abilities that can kill them,
and the only difference with archangels is that, for powers, it
takes longer to kill them.
- Most who have fought 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
depower 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 has used this method to power up his 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, as without their grace, they lose
most of their abilities.
- Just like most angels, archangel's abilities like enhanced
energies can be countered by any opposite abilities, such as
divine lightning being able to be countered by unholy power or
by water, or his holy light being counterable by
darkness/demonic darkness. All of the abilities are counterable
by counter abilities. For Celeste, most of her abilities are
energy based, so most people can dodge her attacks or block them
with other types of energy. Celeste's holy arts all are spirit
energy based, and if the opponent knows how they work, they can
counter them or even turn them on Celeste, as she can be hurt by
certain holy arts herself. For example, her Shakkaho could
damage her with the explosion, even though it's holy energy she
could absorb.
- A blood seal or exorcism chant can be used to cast out angels
temporarily. Blood seals are designed to cast out angels
temporarily, with many different sigils and spells being
available to do so. The most known one by those who have fought
angels is an Enochian blood seal, which can be used to cast out
an angel temporarily to a random location. Usually this sends an
angel back to heaven, though if they're not able to be sent to
Heaven, they are sent to a random location in the world. This
could take as long as an hour for the angel to get back to the
original location, giving plenty of time for someone to get
away. Exorcisms are the same way, which work through chants and
spoken spells rather than seals. Exorcisms simply require the
angel to hear the exorcism chant, and then they are cast out.
- Burning holy oil is often used to trap angels, as burning holy
oil acts like a trap to angels if they're trapped in a ring of
burning holy oil. This is a good way to trap angels, or using a
burning molotov cocktail of holy oil on an angel to cast out an
angel temporarily, doing severe damage to their vessel/body.
Burning holy oil can do severe damage to even archangels, as
long as they don't use their divine smiting ability to try and
burn away the holy oil faster. This is the best way to hurt
angels, as this is a natural weakness to them, and holy oil is
available to just about anyone if they know where to look.
- Enochian Sigils and Seals can be used to hide someone from
angels or keep them from entering an area. Demons and humans
both developed their own types of warding, which have been used
to keep angels out of an area. To an extent, a ward can also be
used to hide an area from angels, where they might not see a
building if it's warded properly. However, one has to be
careful, as with enough power, angels have developed ways to
break warding, though only archangels are usually able to do
this or large groups of angels getting together and combining
their power. There are many sigils and seals, most of which are
available to anyone who knows how to do the right research for
it, and those that have had to hide from angels learn quickly
how useful these types of seals and sigils are. Michael is
strong enough that he is able to break through warding and burn
it away with his enhanced power, though it does take a bit of
power to use.
- Celeste's Shingetsu style, like Blademaster Raven's and London
Kendra's style, requires a balance of speed and strength. If
that balance is off, then the style doesn't work as intended. So
opponents who want to through her off could use amplification to
amp her speed or strength and unbalance this style, essentially
forcing her to using a basic sword style. The Shingetsu style is
also about focus, something Celeste is still learning, and she
can't currently harness some of the finer points of this style
very easily. While she's still pretty tough, she's still
learning how to pull of some of the tougher parts of this style
effectively.
- Celeste has a problem with confidence, sometimes with her
being overconfident, and sometimes where she has no confidence
in her abilities. This usually happens at the worst of times,
and can lead to her losing fights if this happens at the wrong
time. Usually, when she's got an upperhand, she gets overly
confident, and might think she's already won. However, the
opposite happens when she gets overwhelmed, as she starts to
lose confidence in her fighting style and may even give up a
fight before it's finished. Celeste has a lot of trouble with
fighting as she never wanted to be a fighter. This is something
that is a big problem for her currently, and usually ends with
her relying on others to protect her as she feels that sometimes
she can't even protect herself or she gets overconfident and
ends up backed into a corner when it's turned on her.
Personality: Celeste is a very soft-hearted person, hating
violence. For being a reincarnation of Sariel, many will notice
that she is the complete opposite of Sariel, and is a very
soft-spoken person. Often times, she gets quite jumpy and
nervous around people she doesn't know, and has a fear of
angels, currently fearing any angel other than Gabriel as angels
are always trying to kill her. When she's comfortable, she can
be a very cheerful and happy person, and many see that she's a
really good natured person. She's always willing to help others,
and refuses to kill people, even those of evil intent. She is
determined to get stronger, and shows this determination in her
training. even though she has no real natural talent like some
for fighting, she has trained hard enough through sheer will to
make herself stronger.
In battle, Celeste hates violence, and only fights when she has
no other choice, or she has to protect someone. She's
inexperienced in combat, as she hasn't had enough real battles
to really develop her own style of combat. Celeste started out
as a non-talented combatant who had no real talent for swords or
physical fighting, but learned and trained hard till she started
getting the styles down. She tries to be a tactician in fights,
but usually ends up trying to overwhelm her opponents with her
powers, or trying to take them out with her combat style. Though
she can be strategic, she has trouble sometimes thinking in the
heat of battle since she's not too experienced and still has to
concentrate in battles.
Bio: Celeste always thought she was a natural human, born to a
normal human family. However, when she was 7, she found out she
had angel power when she healed a dog she found that was dying
without realizing what she was doing. Soon after, her parents
realized that she had special abilities, and went into hiding
with her. Knowing that others might seek her out and try to use
her power, as is pretty common with supernaturals, they tried to
hide her so she could learn to use her power. Over time, Celeste
started to unlock her power, and then it happened that she heard
a prophecy from a priest who had a vision of her. Celeste found
out that she would one day replace Sariel as the lord of Heaven,
and was told she was the reincarnation of Sariel and would
inherit her power when she took over Heaven.
No one knew what this meant, as it wasn't known if this meant
Sariel was going to die, step down from leading Heaven, or if
she was going to lose her power entirely. However, when Sariel
found out about this prophecy and how Celeste had angel power
despite not being born of an angel parent or lineage, Sariel
sent angels after Celeste. During a fight with the angels,
Celeste's parents were killed, and she was forced on the run
from the angels. Luckily she was able to stay hidden for years,
as she learned to suppress her presence and make herself appear
human to sixth senses. However, after years of running, Sariel
caught up with her, and almost killed her until Celeste was
saved by the Ellimist.
After Celeste nearly died, the Ellimist looked after her,
finding sources to train her for what she would face, knowing
that Celeste would have to fight high level opponents someday,
including probably fighting Sariel again. As Celeste stayed with
the Ellimist, the Ellimist had different people training her and
sent her on quests to become stronger. Though as the Ellimist
started focusing on other threats, the Ellimist brought back
Gabriel to look after Celeste and help train her. Now Celeste
stays hidden and under Gabriel's protection as she continues her
training.
