Dardariel

Dardariel carries himself with a sense of dignity, shoulders back and back straight. His facial features are androgynous, bringing to mind the beauty standards of ancient greek. The man's jawline is soft, and the curved bow-shaped lips add to the feminity of his face. His nose forms a straight line from base to tip, with very little rounding or curving. Dardariel's eyes are brown in color, surrounded by thick eyelashes, resting below a pair of softly curving brows. His hair is shoulder-length - thick, dark and wavy in texture.

The mans' body is covered by a number of scars. There's one underneath his ribs from where a demon rammed him with his spear, knife marks along his back from an attempted mugging in Rome and clawmarks along his arms, as well as acid burn scars on the man's legs.

The most visible injury is the lack of small- and ringfinger on Dardariel's left hand, bitten off whilst he was fighting off a fiend that had jumped him. Dardariel hides that particular injury with a gauntlet made of leather and somniunite, the empty fingers of the gauntlet being connected to the middle finger by wires so that they would flex along with the remaining digits of his hand.

Clothes are under "Questions"

Outwardly Dardariel is an unflinching follower of orders, a worshipper of God, a pawn on the battlefield. Inwardly the horrors he's seen have left a mark in the man's psyche. He is hyperaware of his surroundings, always expecting an attack. Although he believes in the righteousness of The War he has doubts that the Right side would ever be able to be victorious and that realization gets to him.

Gore, death and killing alone do not shock the man at all, but his psychologocical armor can be pierced with strong emotions. He is affected by sights, such as a lover weeping by a fallen body or a person begging for mercy. The injury or corruption of love and innocence is what haunts him from both Earth and war.

Dardariel holds a special soft spot for young angels - the empty-eyed, unquestioning blank sheets and deals with his feelings of hopelesness by gathering up any featherball who shows signs of wanting to learn and teaching them, no matter their occupation or caste, on the general principle that he's seen too many young angels succumb to demons because they didn't know how to handle such monsters or lacked the necessary survival instincts for pragmaticism. Even though what he does could be considered a "corruption of innocence" in a sense he sees it as necessary for the long-term survival of these angels.

Oddly enough, although Dardariel is perfectly alright with describing blood and violence the issue of sex seems to squick him out. The angel is factually aware of how carnal emotions and acts work, but considers them alien and views lust as something intrinsic to "flawed" races, such as demons and humans (who, in his mind, though the masterpieces of God are still wounded by the original sin).

A multiverse of realms and pocket dimensions

On one side is Heaven, referred to as Home by the angels. A boundaryless, unreal place with no form, space nor time, the inhabitants of which have no body nor awareness of oneself until leaving the place.

On the other side there’s the (presumably physical) Hell, a blazing inferno inhabited by demons, in an eternal war against the divine powers.

In the middle resides Earth, with minor alterations.

Between these three are numerous smaller and larger realms, most governed by divine or infernal forces, with many nearer to Home possessing a dreamlike sense of unrealness, making them tolerable for angels.

Some markwords:

-Warrior
-Came to Earth for the first time a decade after the Fall of Rome
-Attained an interest to human philosophy, finding comfort in reading about all the creation and brilliant minds for who'se protection The War was being fought, for without it Earth would surely be overrun with demons.
-Good with languages and brave, thus he got taken to Earth many more times, for his ability to speak the local tongues and knowledge of civilization (accumulated on those same trips).
-Kindled an affection to Zambrim, grieved when she was killed in battle.
-Became increasingly jaded with the War.
-Lost two of his fingers around 10th century AC.
-Although he had been teaching whoever requested knowledge of him for a long time he now took on a group of young angels as his more permanent students. -Kindled an affection for one of his pupils, Hehlel, but she never answered to his feelings nor even became aware of any existing.
-Recommended Hehlel for a mission to Dominatio Mendrion. Visited Firenze along with Hehlel on a diplomatic trip.
-Met Hehlel a few more times after the trip, but exceedingly rarely as she did not find a lot of employment and seemed uninterested in learning more of Earth after the mission.
-Saw Hehlel last in the 17th century. May or may not have been the one to give Hehlel her bracelets.
-???

None, technically. Hehlel lost contact with him back in the 17th century.

Headcanon says that he was dewinged and cast down to Earth for showing major disrespect, where he tried to get back to the good graces of Heaven, until he fell in love with a nun, eloped, unfortunately outlived her, never got over the grief and died in WWII Poland, whilst being caught smuggling jews across the border.
