Full Profile

Appearance

Angelo's most obvious feature is his hair. It's blond, extremely fluffy, and falls down past his ass. It's large enough that it's by far the most obvious thing about him. His hair frequently hangs in his face, obscuring his scars and generally making him appear more friendly. He's lost a chunk of his left cheek near his jaw, leaving only scar tissue, and he has two long slashes on the right side of his face. One runs vertical and runs from just right of his chin up past his mouth and narrowly missing his eye, and the other runs horizontal from just beside his right ear all the way to his nose. Off his face, he has plenty of smaller scars, but the most obvious is a large burn scar that runs from his left collarbone down his arm to near his elbow.

Angelo is 6'3" and very muscular. He's fairly broad at the shoulders, and if you can get past all the hair you'll find his eyes are a dark blue. He is often seen in the Manta Carlos police uniform, or in more casual wear. Angelo wears a small cross on a necklace under his clothes.

Personality

Angelo is a friendly guy first and foremost, and finding out he was raised as part of the mafia tends to throw people off. Angelo has never gained any enjoyment from violence, and while he grew up in a twisted situation, he's had years of practice to level him out and make him appear mostly normal.

In day to day life, he's outgoing and helpful, tending to put others ahead of himself. He has a reputation for sticking his nose in things, whether officially as a cop or while he's off-duty. He has a pretty firm set of opinions on the world's shady underbelly, strongly disliking those who get innocents involved. As long as criminals keep to themselves, Angelo is mostly content to let them go at it, understanding that there will always be that sort of violence. But if they're bringing in collateral damage, they'll face a very, very angry Angelo.

Angelo is a firmly loyal person, even if it's slightly twisted. His loyalty lies with his family first and his job second, but a part of him still holds that old loyalty to his Family back in New York. Even if he realizes there can be no life for him back there, a part of him is still nostalgic for the life he lead there.

To Angelo, regrets are pointless, and he doesn't let himself dwell on the past very often. He does have a strong distaste for peer pressure, very aware of how it can push people to do things they otherwise wouldn't.

Angelo is religious, having been raised Catholic, but he struggles to reconcile how he was raised with life on the island. He definitely believes in God, but the rules are a bit more vague for him.

Active Abilities

Imperceptible: Angelo is capable of preventing people from noticing him. In practice, this is similar to invisibility, but works slightly differently. Those being affected by the aura can still see (or otherwise detect) Angelo, but the part of their brain that would register him will simply fail to go off. Their eyes will simply pass right over him, even if they're actively searching for him. This works on all senses (supernatural or otherwise), but does not work on cameras or other technology. For non-sapient creatures, the closer they are to sapient, the more effective the power will be against them.

Stop and Think: Angelo can stop time indefinitely. Unfortunately, this also effects him, with the exception of his brain. This gives Angelo time to stop and think before he unfreezes time.

Magekiller: Angelo possesses a magical firearm in addition to his normal service weapon. The gun itself uses mundane bullets, but any bullet fired from the gun has a special effect: They disrupt magic and any other supernatural effects. Any magic hit by the bullets becomes nullified, and a backfire effect kicks in, preventing the source of the magic from using any further magic for five minutes. When the bullets hit other supernatural effects, only that specific effect is knocked out. If someone puts up a magic shield and Angelo shoots them, not only will it pass through the barrier and hit them, but the moment the bullet hits the barrier they'll find themselves unable to cast any magic for five minutes.

Passive Abilities

Unnatural Strength: Once a reaper, Angelo still possesses the supernatural strength that he earned through his work. While a portion of this strength is physical, with Angelo being in his physical prime, but the majority of this is magical in nature. Angelo is capable of lifting around 5000 pounds with effort, can run around 75 miles an hour, is durable enough to shrug off most assault by a normal human, and has stamina to match.

Unnatural Lifespan: Angelo stopped aging at the age of twenty-seven, his lifespan being extended by the act of reaping souls. While he can no longer extend it father, the excess of energy remains, allowing Angelo to live for a few hundred years if he's careful. When injured, Angelo's excess lifespan is burnt in order to heal himself at a visible rate. The amount of energy burnt is comparable to the amount of time it would take for the damage to fully heal. An injury that would take a month to heal would take two months of lifespan. He cannot heal things that a human would not naturally be able to heal (such as regrowing limbs).

Biography

• Angelo was born in New York city to disinterested parents that were both involved with the Genovese crime family.
• When the current Don had his son, Angelo was quickly attached to him as a 'best friend' who was more of a bodyguard. The understanding was always clear that Angelo was intended to be the responsible one, taking care of the younger boy and going where the Don's guards could not.
• Angelo's powers awakened when he was twelve, allowing himself to vanish from sight. The don realized how useful Angelo's gift could be, and immediately put him to work.
• Angelo took his first life at sixteen, but as the scale of his crimes increased, it became harder and harder to go out. He was all but confined to the mansion, and effectively separated from a normal day to day life.
• When Angelo was eighteen, he received a letter from Manta Carlos, formally reaching out and offering him a place in the academy. While he assumed he wouldn't be allowed to go, the don instead encouraged him to do so, understanding that Angelo's usefulness was at its end.
• Angelo played catch up on Manta Carlos, experiencing a normal life for the first time in his own life. He was under scrutiny from the island, but stayed firmly on the straight and narrow.
• When he graduated and applied for the police force, no one was all that surprised. Angelo's knowledge of the criminal lifestyle was a boon, and he excelled at the physical side of things as well.
• Angelo realized he was a half-reaper at the age of twenty-five, when he accidentally helped an old woman pass on to the afterlife.

Resources

Angelo has a well paying job with the Manta Carlos Police Department, serving as a sergeant. However, the bulk of his living expenses are covered by the Rosales family fund, a large sum of money earmarked to handle the care of the children that Angelo adopted. Angelo uses it sparingly, preferring to leave the money for the children, but he does live in the large mansion the fund paid for. He's careful to keep his own money separate from the fund, and buys personal items from his own savings.

Extra Info

Angelo doesn't actually qualify to be part of the mafia at all. His mother wasn't Italian, and his father wasn't his actual biological father, making Angelo likely 0% Italian.

If someone asks 'Genovese, like the Genovese crime family?', he'll answer yes and leave it at that. He makes no secret of his childhood.
