Profile
"Oh, um! Pardon me."
Empathetic ✦ Hesitant ✦ Naive ✦ Selfless ✦ Stubborn
Emil’s greatest strength is his empathy. Although naïve in his own right, he’s wise beyond his years, and he does what he can to impart both care and comfort unto others— regardless of the cost to himself. He’s kind to a fault but occasionally lacks tact due to his inclination towards sometimes-brutal honesty.
Despite being kind-hearted, Emil has the tendency to be very headstrong. He has a firm notion of right and wrong that leaves little room for the in between, and he ardently rejects anything that doesn't meet his moral standard. White lies, sarcasm, and cruel (but innocuous) jokes between friends are all included in this forbidden grey area.
Ultimately, Emil wants nothing more than to help the wounded and misguided, and sometimes this means saying what they need (but might not want) to hear.
I, the undersigned, hereby agree to follow the charter of walpurgis and all rules therein:
Magic
Area of Expertise
Emil’s abilities are largely those innate to his angelic blood. Although his specialty is light magic, he has spent the past few centuries attempting to learn how to heal. He's made little progress in that regard, but he continues to try in the hope that one day, he'll have a breakthrough.
Abilities
Be NoT aFrAiD. — In its true form, a Throne is a burning wheel bearing thousands of eyes. Emil finds this quite inconvenient, as most doors are not made to accommodate wheels (especially ones on fire).
EMPATHY. — Emil is an empath, and he is beset by the emotions of the creatures surrounding him. For this reason, he steers away from populated areas to avoid drowning in feelings indistinguishable from his own.
MERCY. — Emil is capable of healing small, surface-level wounds and scarce more. He’s doing his best. ):
RADIANCE. — Per his celestial blood, Emil’s magic is divine in nature. He is able to manipulate light into various arms, conjuring temporary weapons for use in combat. Emil, however, isn't inclined towards violence, and the most one will see of this magic is the odd flashlight or crochet hook.
Limitations
Emil’s empathy is something entirely out of his control, and as a result, it can very easily lead to him being overwhelmed or debilitated depending on the situation. It does not allow him to gain insight on specific thought processes and is more or less a vibe check.
As for the rest of his magic, it takes a physical toll on him to manifest a divine presence or manipulate light. Casting frequently or using a larger spell is liable to render him exhausted or incapacitate him entirely. With healing spells, he's just terrible at it. Like. He's so bad, dude.
Desecrated ground dampens his abilities, and consecrated ground bolsters them.
Personal Lore
History
Early Life
An arbiter of the Lord’s will— such is the lot of a Throne. Emil spent many a year enforcing the law of the unfathomable, delivering often cruel justice to those he thought needed nothing more than a helping hand. Over time, the guilt he felt festered, and for every mortal who asked him ‘why,’ he had no answer. He didn’t want to hurt them. He didn’t want to hurt anyone.
Moving to Walpurgis
Over time, the human population expanded, and Emil’s emotional capacity did not. His preternatural empathy burdened him more and more, and, eventually, he couldn’t take it anymore. He had to go somewhere— somewhere sleepy, where he could be apart from the droves of souls that are otherwise inescapable. He found himself at Walpurgis, and while he has yet to establish himself as anything yet, he’s excited for the reprieve of like company.
Present Day
Emil arrived at Walpurgis about a month ago and, as of yet, owns no furniture beyond the singular cactus he keeps in the corner of his room. Its name is Bonnie.
He's very lonely.
Race Lore
Emil is your standard be-not-afraid biblical angel. Of the castes, he is a Throne, meaning he fills a variety of roles that pertain to maintaining the Almighty’s intended order of things. Dispense wisdom like Pepsi. Smite the unworthy. Give directions to angels in lower castes (and fail to enforce them because he’s a pushover).
Thrones have to balance the ideals of justice and mercy in all their actions, and they strive to do what is ‘right’ in God’s point of view, even though it may seem cruel by human standards.

Items
Silver Marbles
Emil carries with him a set of three marbles. They don't have any particular magical purpose, but the touch of cool metal helps to ground him when he begins to feel overwhelmed.
