AU ROLE CALL↴

Now that you've had a week to plan, this is the official role call post for the AU. Please reply to whatever header your character is included in with a summary of their role in Portland, with your character's name in the post subject. You can just copy and paste summaries used in the plotting post if you like, though for the same of mod plotting I would ask that you name and bold any of the following in your descriptions:

Organizations: If your character is in a group or organization of any kind, please bold it! This will be important for the dispensing of IC clues and NPC attention.
NPC Connections: If your character has a powerful NPC of any kind that they are connection to, please list and bold them. The mods will be writing some of these NPCs into the metaplot, and we can't do that if we don't know they exist!
Meetup Points: If your character runs or is affiliated with anything that could be considered a supernatural hangout, it would be useful to make them easy to find, for the sakes of people who want to know what kind of places will be available in Portland for their characters to hang out.

Confirming your concepts in this post is not mandatory, but I would super appreciate anyone who does. If you do not reply to this post, your character will not be tied into the metaplot. Additionally, I will give everyone who does reply a +2 AC point bonus to their next activity check, per character they reply with.

Concepts are due May 31st.

Julien is here Iuliael (you can pronounce it in literally any way and he'll respond), formerly part of a major seraphim who's usually called variations on the Dove of God. Unwilling to leave Heaven the Dove sent Iuliael to be the Eye and the Voice and the Hand - sort of a remote presence, with little free will. Seraphim are beings of passion, consumed with it themselves and stoking it in others. Iuliael was too filled with a seraphim's burning righteous purpose to understand why angels weren't constantly rooting out and cleansing evil and did not make many friends as a result.

The Severing, and being cut off from that direct line to holy passion, kind of broke Iuliael, who had a semipublic fit somewhere in suburbia that lasted days but hurt no one, due to fleeing as soon as anyone came to investigate the wailing. As part of the Dove it saw and judged and meted punishment and mercy, without that connection Iuliael lost most powers and all authority and sense of purpose. Refusing to attach to anyone else, Iuliael wandered and searched for purpose alone. They sometimes come off as childlike or at least quite young and scattered, either unwilling or unable to dwell on the future.

A seraph's nature is all fire and music. Seeming to turn from despair Iuliael has taken to seeing the holy in everything and projecting great joie de vivre, and sings nearly constantly, joining their voice to other singers when possible, singing alone, even very quietly, when not. Most of their remaining powers are related to emotion, specifically passionate emotions; they can influence and evoke. Basically a Bard, buffing and debuffing and soothing and rousing. When they join a choir every member sings their best, and for the length of a song the world is full of wonder and beauty. As such Iuliael is sort of a traveling muse who will help people but not seek out trouble. They've stopped by or pitched in at the Sanctuary from time to time.

Since they're part of a seraphim their form is strange and nightmarish, a moving mass of wings and eyes and features changing like flame. They can shape this into a human guise which is androgynous and mostly okay, though there's the sense that if you look away and back their hair and clothing has changed subtly, and into a flock of various pigeons. As a very inhuman angel Iuliael never took gendered pronouns but, by now, thinks they look like fun without seeing how they apply. So they basically just try on the pronouns of whoever they're speaking to and want men to call him him, women to call him her, etc. This will get extra confusing as Iuliael's gonna be half-and-half with Julien's memories.
