OhScarecrow Oh I'd be so interested in seeing your ideas for a TBoI Moroni! I used to be in the fandom (most of my archangel OCs used to be fanchars for it, and I still have a retired fanchar here as well) and this is the first time I hear about someone using him to make a fanchar!! :)c I'm extra curious because I have my own Moroni too (although the inspiration is very very vague compared to my usual "inspired by..." standards)
I love seeing OCs based on angels and biblical figures, and I have a bunch of them, myself, so I wanted to see other people's interpretations of these figures and see how they're different from my own! I figured maybe other people would be curious, as well, so here I am making a thread. If you have OCs based on (or inspired by, or even just named after) angels, demons, Biblical figures, or any other such persons from Christian mythology, post them below and I'll add them to the list!
P.S. if you can't find your little blorbo anymore, check down near the bottom. I decided to group all the ones that only had one into just three tabs for angels, demons, and everyone else because you guys are really goin ham on the obscure figures (i love it) and I wanted to make the list a bit less of a tedium to scroll down ^^; I'll move them back to their own specific tab once they have someone else based on the same person to compare to, since that's what this thread is about anyway :)

Oh I remember your Moroni! I was under you in a "guess the reference" forum game and I wrote a little block about Moroni in it lol. And wow, Saul is pretty old!
Didn't expect to write this much feel free to stop reading now lol. This is a TBOI block of text.
I've briefly thought about making Moroni start with Revelation, which is +2 soul hearts, the ability to fly, and a light-based brimstone clone. Which would essentially make him a counterpart to Azazel.
Though I found that a bit boring, and not that fitting. I've tried to come up with a Golden Plate/s item, and I've had some active and some passive ideas. Like, maybe having it be an active item with a 5?-room charge that's effectively a "The Sun" tarot card, but letting you fly for the rest of the floor instead of a full heal along with the map reveal... which I also found boring.
Maybe having it be a passive item that turns all chests into stone chests, (like the one the plates were found in) but keeps the item pools they draw from with a very small (maybe .5%-5%?) chance to draw from the angel pool instead, scaling up with luck. Though you'd need a lot of bombs. So maybe the character/item can have a passive ability of if you go straight to the boss room (the shortest path to it would be revealed to you on the map), you have the ability to open the chests by touch. So like, sort of the idea of making your way to "the promised land," and being rewarded for it? I dunno. Maybe a trinket can be unlocked for him that turns 10% of pickups into a stone chest instead. Maybe with him it's 25% instead, like how WoB triggers at a full heart for Eve.
I'd probably need to take a day and work everything out, lol.
