ATTITUDE

Personality: Emilian is sadistic and manipulative, though he hides his sadistic streak behind his angelic origin. Ever since he was exiled and cursed, he is always angry and craves violence and bloodshed, but is denied it due to his cursed condition.

Personality Rework: Emilian was a steadfast individual who fought to defend his friends and family. He was loyal to the council and the war efforts even if he hated the methods the council employed. As a general, he was level-headed and had an eye for strategy. Learning his opponents and their strategies was almost second nature to him and was one of the main reason he held the trust of his subordinates and was deemed worthy of the title head general by the council. His job as head general required him to often attend social gatherings meant for the elite. His manners were lacking from his years in the military and being raised as a commoner, but he picked it up rather quickly and got by with minimal problems, even if he was rather stiff about the whole affair. He tends to view social gatherings as a battlefield in it's own right and became quite skilled in manipulation as a result, though it was usually used to garner support for the army from nobles or to steer the conversation away from his upbringing.

Emilian has a reputation for his dichotomy of when in "work" mode and "relaxation" mode.  Cold, no-nonsense and a hard-ass while training or strategizing, but highly sociable and good-humored when relaxed. Out of the three lead generals of the Angelic Army, Emilian was by far the closest with his men with Ziel being more on the quiet side and Ambriel being a bit of an asshole. His men, as a result, tended to have a pretty high morale when compared to those the others led.

When Emilian's trust was betrayed by the council at the end of the war, he was furious. The council, claiming he was revolting when he voiced his displeasure at being tossed aside, sealed his body and cursed his soul. The effects if the curse have caused him to become significantly more manipulative and sadistic, doing his absolute best to gain control of whichever being is hosting his soul. With each host he experiences, his hatred for the council grows and by present day, he can think of little else than his need for revenge, having long given up on his wish for a momentary reprieve from the eternal company of his previous hosts' souls, stuck with him as a side-effect to his curse.

Likes: Emilian likes causing fights, whether he participates in them or not. He just likes to see the fiery emotions that are ignited in creatures when they're angry. Whenever he is reincarnated, he rather likes trying new food and reading up on historical events. War tactics also interest him and they are one of the first things he researches when he can.

Dislikes: Emilian hates his past superiors with a fire passion along with all the idiotic, overly strict rules they put in place. Even more, though, he hates the alliance between angels and demons that caused his cursed banishment. He rather dislikes the majority of his hosts, except his current one, and, if he were being honest, he hates those easily manipulated as they tend to make poor and disloyal pawns. Good manipulation must be cultivated over years after all.

Motivation: Emilian finds his motivation in, well, himself. He fights only for his own personal gain, in particular his need for revenge.

Discouragement: Things that cause Emilian to question himself tend to cause him to lose focus on his goals. Few things can dig down deep enough into Emilian's heart to do this though. The most recent thing to cause Emilian doubt is Touzo.

Confidence Level: Over confident, very over confident. His confidence is likely his greatest weakness.

Greatest Fear/Phobia: Emilian fears that one day the lingering souls of his past hosts that inhabit his mind will grow in such great number they drive him mad, forcing him down until his is unable to gain his revenge.

RELATIONSHIPS

Angels:

-Dezial: Dezial was the one that ordered Emilian's sentence go be carried out. He is an old, stuck up angel that Emilian has always and will always hate.

-Zariel: Zariel had been an old friend of Emilian, but the demon hasn't heard anything from Zariel since they were both banished. Zariel had a far kinder sentence and had simply been banished to live with the demons.

-Ziel: Ziel was a fellow general in the war. However, he mysteriously went missing 500 years before the war ended. Emilian worked with him a few times and they could have been considered friends.

-Ambriel: Another fellow general. Ambriel was very quiet and cold, but practical. Emilian got along with him well enough.

Hosts:

-Touzo: His current and favorite host. Whereas he can normally only begin being seen and heard by a host during their teen years, Touzo has been able to see and hear Emilian since he was born. This allowed the angel to begin influencing his host at a young age, although this quickly began backfiring on Emilian as Touzo quickly learned how to handle Emilian's manipulation. The boy even began to turn the tables on the angel, getting either equal or greater benefits whatever Emilian was wanting Touzo to do.

LIFE

Strengths: Emilian's strengths were gained on the battlefield. He has good instincts and a mind for strategy.

Weaknesses: Emilian is a close range attacker, so he is weak to long distance attacks. One can also try to play on his unrelenting rage, throwing him into a thoughtless frenzy so he can't strategize.

Habits: Emilian tends to wrap his wings around himself when his is stressed, emotional or deep in thought. It's been a habit of his ever since he was a young angel shipped off to fight the demons, it's how he was able to block all the pain and suffering the fighting caused.

BACKSTORY:

"Emilian, promise me you'll do your best."

That was the last thing Emilian's mother said to him before he was taken by the military. He recounted his life up until that point, the games he played his brother, the days he spent on the river fishing, learning to fly. Everything he loved seemed to be pulled away from him with each jolting step from the hooves of his pegasus.

A shout pulled him from thoughts, "Listen up, rookies, we've arrived at base camp! Get in, put your mounts in the stables and head for your initiation! A guide will be placed with each group to lead you to the initiation tent!"

The rookies that had been quietly murmuring around him silenced and a grim aura fell over the group. They were lead inside and split up, each heading for a separate stable. Emilian smiled up at his pegasus and he ran a hand over the animals coarse chestnut pelt.

"Thank you for the ride, Gallis, I'll send you back to father when they give us military grade horses," he murmured quietly.

Emilian stepped out of the stall and made his way to the spot where he saw several other rookies gathering. His eyes caught the angel clad in dark leather who he assumed would be there guide. After a moment the last of the stragglers caught up and the guide straightened.

"Follow me to the initiation tent." He ordered before he turned on his heel and began to walk.

Emilian followed at a distance from the others, nerves getting to him. His youthful face clearly showed his emotions, mouth in a tight line and brows knitted together as anxiety coursed through him. He had heard that the army initiation varied with each batch of initiates, but no matter the trial that awaited them, few ever survived.

They entered the tent.

Inside was a ring lit by the dim sunlight filtering through a hole in the center of the tent.
