Profile
Aria Seraphine, once known as Seraphine the Lifegiver, was a compassionate and righteous angel of the Pax Dei. Betrayed and cast out of Heaven for uncovering a dark secret, her wings were clipped, and she was stripped of her powers. Now living in the slums of New York City, Aria battles addiction while using her remaining healing ability to help others. Despite her despair and bitterness, her innate compassion drives her to seek redemption and justice. Her current life is a struggle for survival and purpose, haunted by the betrayal of her kin and the suffering she witnesses daily.
Timeline
Timeline:
* Creation: Aria was created alongside other Angels of the Pax Dei, as Seraphine the Lifegiver. Additional titles included Songstress, Siren of Solace, Salvebearer, and Eternal Light. She was created as the 'sister' and protege of the archangel Seraphiel the Defender, Divine Guardian, by the Presence, the ultimate creator.
* Eons Ago: Seraphine serves faithfully as an angel of the Human Host, protecting humanity with compassion and a strong sense of justice.
* 2016: Seraphine discovers Seraphiel's manipulation of human destinies, causing unnecessary chaos and suffering under the guise of testing humanity's worthiness.
* 2017: Seraphine confronts Seraphiel with evidence of his actions, pleading with him to stop and reveal the truth. Seraphiel sees her as a threat and frames her for treason.
* 2018: Seraphiel manipulates evidence and turns other angels against Seraphine. In a biased tribunal, Seraphine is found guilty of treason.
* 2019: Seraphine's wings are clipped, and she is cast out of Heaven, stripped of her powers and celestial status. She is banished to Earth and adopts the name Aria Seraphine. As a twisted punishment, Seraphiel allows her to keep her power of healing, which is powerful enough to prevent her from taking her own, mortal life and curses her to suffer on Earth for eternity.
* 2020: Disoriented and heartbroken, she begins to struggle with the reality of her new existence. She falls into a cycle of depression and addiction, turning to drugs and alcohol to numb her pain. She starts working as a dancer in a sleazy strip club, controlled by a ruthless owner who pays her partly in drugs.
* 2021: Addicted and lured by the promise of a supply of drugs, Aria is lured into working for Dominic "Dom" Russo. Known for his charm and brutality, Dom has a tight grip on his operations in Hell's Kitchen, from drug trafficking to illegal gambling and extortion.
* 2022: Despite her struggles, Aria's innate compassion leads her to use her remaining healing power to help those in need. Her presence in the slums makes her a reluctant protector of the downtrodden.
* 2023: Aria begins to gather evidence and allies, hoping to one day expose Seraphiel's actions and clear her name. Unfortunately, these allies are exploited by Dom, who uses every single connection she makes to blackmail her any time she even thinks about getting out of the life.
* 2024: Aria took a job the Hellfire Club and continues to live in Hell's Kitchen, balancing her work as a dancer and a lackey for Dom with her secret mission to find redemption and justice for herself and those harmed by Seraphiel's schemes.

Personality
Personality:
Seraphine was the embodiment of compassion and righteousness. As an angel of the Pax Dei, she radiated warmth and kindness, always eager to heal and protect those in need. Her unwavering sense of justice and dedication to her divine duties earned her titles like Lifegiver and Songstress. Seraphine was known for her melodic voice that brought solace and comfort, reflecting her serene and nurturing nature.
After being cast out of Heaven, Aria Seraphine's personality became a complex blend of resilience and despair. Stripped of her celestial grace, she struggled with profound guilt and bitterness over the betrayal by her kin and turned to addiction to dull the pain.
Despite the harsh realities of her new life, Aria's innate compassion persisted, driving her to help others even at great personal cost. Her once radiant optimism dimmed, replaced by a hardened resolve to uncover the truth and seek redemption, all while battling her inner demons.
Character Sheet
Powers
Divine Presence:
Divine Presence is a form of projective empathy that is "always on" and affects anyone who can see or hear her. It changes how others perceive her, hear her voice, and feel about their environment. She can focus its effects on specific individuals if she chooses, but she cannot hide her Presence completely. Those sensitive to divine energies can sense its power. This power is not shapeshifting or glamour. Nothing appears to change on video feeds. It is a divine gift that plays directly on an individual's personal experiences, therefore it effects everyone who interacts with her differently.
In its resting state, her presence has a soothing effect, making her seem safe and approachable (even to animals). However, with concentration, she can focus and actively project any other emotion. For instance, she might radiate calm to settle angry mobs, making herself more serene and the environment more warm and welcoming. She could project fear to inspire terror and drive back enemies, making herself seem more terrifying and the room more dark, dangerous, and oppressive. She might even radiate desire to draw crowds toward her, making herself into a living siren while the room simply becomes bland and uninteresting.
OOC NOTE: This power is not meant to supersede consent. As an aspect of the angel's divine nature, players can and should decide how this aura affects their characters on their own terms.
Healing:
'Healing Hands'
As an Angel of the Pax Dei, a military order that maintains the peace of God, Serephine was blessed with certain gifts upon her creation. However, the only one she was allowed to keep when she was cast out of Heaven was her ability to instantly heal with her touch. This applies to everything from simple cuts to grievous wounds and diseases, as long as the living creature (person, animal, even plants) has not actually died. She has to intentionally and consciously use this power on others, and it creates a bright ethereal glow under her hands when she uses it.
As a side effect, her healing ability also applies constantly to herself, essentially making her immortal. Receiving a wound that would be fatal results in her falling unconscious until her body has had time to heal completely.

Skills
Combat:
Aria was an Angel of the Pax Dei, the military order that maintains the peace of God. Even without super-strength and super-reflexes, she maintains her knowledge of combat, and could compete with some of the most formidable unpowered martial artists on the planet both unarmed and with swords.
Divinity:
Seraphine was created with the rest of the Angels in the Pax Dei, and she retains the knowledge of millennia of service to the military order that preserves the peace of God. She has an in-depth knowledge of the history of the omniverse, hierarchy of angels and the Presence itself (who is known was Him Who Is, the Most High, the ultimate creator, the creator, or simply God).
The Pax Dei is divided in four groups: The Human Host (of which Seraphine was created), The Bull Host, The Lion Host, and The Eagle Host, each one led by a King-Angel of the Cherubim Alpha Battalion.
Singing:
Aria's voice is naturally angelic and she is able to use it as well as a finely-trained singer. Even without her supernatural powers, she can evoke profound emotions, inspiring others to reach the heights of joy or the depths of sadness. When combined with the power of her Divine Presence, her singing can inspire truly extraordinary emotional responses, moving audiences in ways that feel almost otherworldly. Her songs can heal hearts, uplift spirits, and stir the soul, showcasing a talent that transcends mere mortal capabilities.
Stripping:
When she was cast out of Heaven, Aria turned to drugs to dull the pain of her loss, and the owner of a strip club offered to feed her addiction in exchange for her working for him. She picked it up quickly, and the extra tips she earns pay for her apartment.
Resources
Apartment:
Aria used to have a small, crappy apartment in a bad part of Hell's Kitchen because it's all she could afford on her own. Now she has a less crappy apartment in the Garment District because Jackie's put her up in a building that the Francetti family owns. It's on the top floor (definitely not a penthouse) and its only view is of the alley and the building on the other side, but it has a small balcony. There are also hidden security cameras inside and out that record everything that happens inside. Jackie is the only one with access to the footage.
Hellfire Club:
In June of 2024, Aria took a job as a dancer at the Hellfire Club that paid better than the place she originally learned to dance at. This has given her a little extra spending cash, which she usually uses to fund her attempts to gather evidence against Seraphiel.
Identification:
As the fallen angel 'Seraphine,' she was cast out of Heaven with no credentials -- no way to get a 'real job' or a bank account or any of the other things that everyone else takes for granted. She was forced to do whatever she could for cash to afford to eat. However, Jackie Esposito has used his connections through the Francetti family to provide her with a forged birth certificate and social security card, both under the name 'Aria Seraphine.' After that, she was able to obtain an New York ID, a US passport, etc.
Jackie Estacado:
Jackie has used his Francetti family connections to set Aria up with a government identity and documentation trail (that starts with a forged birth certificate) as well as an apartment in the Garment District that's under full surveillance. In return, he generally expects her to be an ally and show up if he calls.
Weaknesses
Addiction:
For five years, ever since having her wings clipped and being cast down to Earth, Aria has been addicted to heroin and alcohol. They were originally used a way to dull the trauma of being exiled for sins she didn't commit, but she was forced to detox by Jackie Estacado when The Darkness recognized her as a fallen angel and forced her obedience under threat of an being entombed for eternity. Though technically 'clean and sober,' she now wrestles every day with the cravings of an addict and the desire to numb the pain again, but so far the fear of Jackie's punishment has kept her resolute.
Fallen:
Serphine carries with her the stigma of being a Fallen Angel. Though she wasn't cast down into Hell to become a demon, she was cast down to Earth with a healing ability that has kept her from successfully taking her own life on multiple occasions. Neither demon, nor angel, nor human, she no longer has an identity and uses alcohol and drugs to dull the pain.
However, the tribunal that clipped her wings was biased, and the archangel Seraphiel manipulated the evidence against her to keep her from bringing evidence of his own crimes to light. If she can prove it, she may be able to redeem herself, restore her own divinity, and force Seraphiel to face the consequences of his actions.
Healing:
If Aria is killed by an object that is not removed from her body (a stake through the heart, a rebar trough the head, or something equally as gruesome), her body cannot heal until the object is removed. She can essentially be incapacitated indefinitely, even if not killed.
Wingless:
When Aria was cast out of Heaven, her wings were clipped. This has left permanent scars on her back that won't heal, despite her innate healing gifts. The wings might one day be restored through divine intervention, but without them she has no gift of flight.
Using her Healing power, Aria can 'heal' the scars of her clipped wings briefly, but after no more than an hour, they reappear on her back again. If she's distracted or doesn't think to heal them after an hour, they will be visible. She can keep healing them as long as she can use her healing power, but it requires conscious effort to keep them hidden when her bare back is exposed.
