General Description: Astalan Alendriel is not an overly tall man. He has light hair and golden eyes, yet otherwise has dark features. His shoulders are broad and he is muscular, but not due to regular exercise, more due to God's design. He would be stunningly beautiful were he to appear as a younger man, but he chooses to appear slightly older and more experienced, so that people will not think that he is a pushover. He keeps his blonde beard clean and mostly trimmed, though it may be considered to be bushy. The golden eyes that sit below his golden brows and glasses stare across the world with judgement, nearly always having a stern yet heavy hearted look on his handsome face. He tends to be well dressed, often wearing dress slacks and a vest overtop of a collared shirt and an assortment of ties. He has a golden pocketwatch on a chain attacked to his vest, which he can often be seen checking and shaking his head, though the arms do not move.
About You:
History: Since the dawn of time, Astalan served in the army of Angels who protected the heavens above. He watched down upon the void as God created the universe and watched as he specifically pored time into his pet project, the Earth. Astalan watched down upon God's new favourites with growing jealousy as his heavenly father gave all of his attention to his new pets, the humans. He couldn't help but feel envy in the core of his being and nothing would be able to change that...This envy would eventually lead to his downfall and his fall from grace. He would eventually speak out against God about how the Humans were not worthy of his love and attention, and the imperfect beings that inhabited the earth would do anything they could to spite God and his other creations. He couldn't figure out why the Angels, nearly perfect beings themselves, were forced to serve the sinful race of blasphemers whom currently held their father's eye. He said that God had chosen wrongly and, after attempting to march a legion of angels against his father, was banished to walk among the humans whom he hated so.
Astalan lived for thousands of years among the humans, and saw the horrors they would inflict upon one another. He typically watched from the shadows, not interfering with their earthly affairs because he had no interest in making this world a better place. He witnessed as the son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, was crucified upon a cross, when all he ever did was attempt to aid the humans, and he imagined that were he to attempt to help as well he would suffer a similar fate. Eventually he would yearn for companionship, and he would begin to interact with the creatures that he so long considered to be beneath him. For the next several hundreds of years he would form friendships with the odd human, knowing not to get too close as they would eventually die while he would live on forever, one of the great injustices of his immortality. He would never be able to keep a relationship with a human, because eventually it would end in their death.
The first time he fell in love was in the sixteenth century with a young knight of France. He would take up the sword himself and fight to protect his love, which though it was taboo according to the human version of the "Word of God", would make him happy for many years. The two of them would eventually live together, gaining scorn from religious leaders, though Astalan cared nothing of the scorn of a few humans. He was happy for the first time in thousands of years, and as he laid at his lover's side, he knew what it was to love and what the feeling was that God felt for the humans, something that changed him. It crushed him with his lover died, the man eventually becoming old and sick, while Astalan in his immortal form was forced to watch as the life left his eyes. He went into a deep depression and locked himself away for years, not interacting with anyone until his loneliness became too great to bare.
When he emerged from his solitude he was a different person entirely. He became somewhat distant, trying to make sure that he would not be able to be crushed as he had been when his lover died. He had also grown a taste for sodomy, often going out in the guise of a beautiful young man with long blonde hair and androgynous features to find other men to bed him. He was sinning, though he didn't care in any way as it helped him to live out his existence as a hidden angel among humans. He often longed to be back at his father's side, but eventually that need subsided as he filled the void left in his heart with vice. He became a wreck and a shell of the being he had one been, his entire existence degrading to being one encounter to another. He would eventually snap out of this, but not for many years, until finally in the late nineteen hundreds he would find love once again, and it would turn his life around.
He would once again take up the fight, once again having someone to live for and when the world went to shit, Astalan was there to protect the humans from the shitstorm. He would protect his lover no matter what until in the year 2010 he was killed by an unknown assailant. This would cause Astalan to once again go into a deep depression, though this time he handled things differently. He would eventually move to Edge City, a city riddled with crime and debauchery, where he would become a man obsessed with revenge. He scours the streets looking for clues about his lovers murder, and has become a much darker man. When he needs to intimidate someone he shows off his black wings and uses his power to his advantage, always working to his eventual goal; finding and killing the man who murdered the second man he had fallen in love with since the beginning of time...
