Gifted by the Presence with the power of create all matter that was used to shape the universe as it is today.

Personality

Click to expand.

Compassionate:
Michael appreciates the concept of compassion. To see mortals sacrificing for one another is something he takes great pleasure in. It gives him hope that the universe is not a completely doomed system.

Competitive:
Michael was created as a soldier and as such he thrives in the midst of a good battle. He is always looking to better himself by pitting his own considerable skill against others of great power and might. He will not back down from a good competition and will go out of his way to target those he feels may give him a challenge in single (or multiple) combat.

Devoted:
Michael is devoted to whatever he feels is The Presence's true purpose for the world. While this comes with a great deal of subjective understanding. He will stop at nothing to see that the will of the Presence is ensured in the universe.

Divinity:
As a divine being, Michael can come off as proud. But unlike his brother the Morningstar, his pride is often couched in a message of fact. He is older. He is more experienced. And in most cases, he is wise. Utilizing that wisdom however, is another matter entirely and he will rarely claim to be infallible. But his existence from before the birth of the universe does afford him a great measure of factual expertise in a variety of areas.

Honest:
As the Revelator, Michael is incapable of lying. He will not deliberately tell a lie. He can obfuscate and omit information that is true, but he will never outright lie to a person and in fact goes out of his way to dispense the Truth as he sees it. Truth is a relative matter and his high level view of things will often be refuted by mortals who misinterpret the information being given in his version of the Truth.

Honorable:
As a cosumate soldier Michael understands the rules of honorable combat and adheres to them in all circumstances. He will accept an honorable surrender in most circumstances and will abide by classical (read: ancient) rules of war governing prisoners and the treatment of civilians in a warzone.

Omniscient:
Michael is empowered by the Presence to be a repository of *all* knowledge of time. That being the case, he is available to call forth any and all manner of information about any manner of topics. If it has been explored in the history of existence, he likley will have knowledge of it. There are a few avenues that are beyond his reach, and the future is a maleable concept that is always shifting and changing with the actions of the beings that inhabit the universe. As such he can only speculate on what *may* be given the statistical probability and patterns that mortals tend to engage in.

Parental:
Michael believes all things are by definition his possessions. Being one of the Architects of the universe (empowered by the Presence to create all the raw Matter of the universe) he will do what he sees is best with the fabric of creation, altering and modifying the plan as he feels is best for its continued existence. Should that require ending all life and restarting the process (which he calls The Great Experiment) he will do so. He views the actions of mortals as if they are children and will often be disappointed rather than angry in their actions.

Protective:
Michael is a guardian and will go out of his way to protect those he feels are innocent. This will often be children or intensely devout individuals. Should they fall in harm's way he will do everything he can to see that they are moved to a place of relative safety, even should this endanger him in the process.

Zealotry:
Michael believes that his actions are encouraged and given saction by the Presence. As such, he believes that he is right in whatever fanatical endeavor he engages in and will pursue his goal with uncompromising ferocity.

Character Sheet

Powers

Cosmic Awareness:
As a being that existed before the advent of Creation, Michael is aware of the existence of other universes and has a limited perception of the machinations of those other universes. While the multiverse is a curiosity to him, he is more dedicated to the existence of the universe he was given power over.

Dimensional Travel:
Michael can open gateways between dimensions at will and travel to other realms. Some realms, such as Hell and the Negative Zone, are harmful to his being and while he can go there, he will refrain unless there is no other option. He can also banish other beings from Heaven.

Disintegration:
Michael is able to destroy other cosmic beings with a stare. This ability is taxing and is often used in anger and without consideration of the amount of energy required to reduce other beings to nothing.

Divine Empowerment:
Michael was gifted with the power of the Presence himself. As a vessel for this divine power, If Michael were to die and release it, it would wipe all life from the universe and leave nothing behind.

Ectokenisis:
Michael is able to manipulate the fundamental laws government the spirit world. Ghosts and astral beings are not free of the effects that allow his manipulation of the laws of reality.

Energy Projection:
Michael is capable of projecting massive amounts of divine energy from his body. This energy is capable of harming any who stand in opposition to his goals.

Flight:
The large angelic wings that Michael possesses allow him to fly through the universe at impossible speeds. Even if damaged, their use is unencumbered with relation to his abilities.

Healing:
Michael, as most angles, is given the ability to heal others with a touch. This power works on any who can sustain damage in any form save one--damage sustained from the energy contained in Nullspace is not healable as the Entropic residue of that energy devours even the powers of Creation.

Immortality:
Michael will never grow physically old and can live forever. He has retained his appearance and age for all time. As an archangel, he cannot die by any ordinary means.

Invulnverability:
Michael is invulnerable to most forms of harm. While there are some aspects of reality (or possibly unreality) that can hurt him, knowledge of these weaknesses is sparse and guesswork at best.

Metamorphosis:
Michael can alter his form at will and can transform into his other "aspects". These aspects are taken from a variety of religions and legends across the cosmos. Those who look upon him see what they believe they should see. If their species possesses divine messengers, he will appear as they should appear.

Nigh Omnipotence:
The archangel Michael Demuirgos is the second most powerful being in the universe, surpassed only in power by the God of the Covenant (also known as The Presence.) This omnipotence is governed by his position as Archangel and the responsibilities bestowed upon him by that position.

Omnipresence:
Michael the Archangel is able to exist in all places at all times. But this power comes with a price of relinquishing his own ability to affect multiple places simultaneously. The laws of the universe force him to be in close proximity to other iterations of himself for his power to be properly distributed to affect reality in this way.

Omniscience:
Michael, as one of the Architects of Creation, has a general understanding of the governing pricipals allowed by the laws of the universe. His All Knowledge is only limited by the powers of mortals to extend beyond the realm of possibility given in reality with their ingenuity.

Reality Alteration:
Michael's demiurgic power allows him to create anything from nothing. Shaping such things requires the use of another's hands (namely those of his brother Lucifer). In addition to creation, he can manipulate the structural components of any matter to augment it to something other than it already is. Transmutation of impossible means is a trifle due to his understanding of reality and the governing properties therin.

Ressurection:
If Michael is somehow killed, he is capable of reconstructing himself from the energy of the cosmos, ensuring that as long as the universe survives, he too will continue.

Size Alteration:
Michael is able to alter his size at will. Growing larger or smaller is trivial as his form is maleable in all fashions of the term.

Superhuman Agility:
Having perfect control over his body, Michael is able to perform acts of incredible grace and dexterity. He can never truly fall unless his power is fully diminished and he is capable of dodging (or often parrying) most attacks directed his way.

Superhuman Speed:
As a being of divine merit, Michael can tap into fundamental forces of reality and move at incredible speeds. It has never been tested where his own speed lies in relation to the Speed Force, but crossing the whole of Creation in moments is not beyond his abilities.

Superhuman Stamina:
As an Archangel, Michael's stamina is near limitless. He cannot tire unless forced to exert himself beyond the boundries of reality for extended periods. He does not need to rest as his physiology is not governed by such matters.

Superhuman Strength:
Michael's true strength is enough to move entire galaxies. As such, he often limits such things in accordance to the form he takes. It is safe to assume that his strength in any given form is at the very tip of the spectrum for that shape.

Teleportation:
As an extension of his dimensional travel ability, Michael can teleport others to and from the Gates of the Silver City in accordance with his position as its guardian.

Skills

Archangel Knowledge:
In the nature of his Purpose as a divine being and foremost authority on Creation, Michael can draw on knowledge from a variety of sources both mundane and mystical. This nigh-ominescience allows him to be at the top level of most aspects should he deign to direct his attention to the sources of knowledge of an area.

Gen. of the Heavenly Army:
Michael is the foremost general of the Heavenly Armies. With that title comes a plethora of abilities, skills, and knowledge. First of all, he has a perfectionist eye for tactics of all sorts. Before there was Sun Tzu, there was Michael. While his employment of these tactics is based upon the field of battle, he is nonetheless able to understand and employ counter maneauvers with even the most skilled and intuitive veterans of combat. Secondly, in addition to his tactical prowess, is a methodical nature on the basis of strategy. Michael understands the nature of a battlefield as if he was born into it and his Purpose to be the instrument of defeat for all Creation means that for smaller fields of battle he can stretgize and plan and modify that plan with relative ease. Third, is an understanding of all manner of weaponry -ever-. If it exists as a weapon, Michael has an intimate understand of how to use it as such with superior effect. With this understanding comes a variety of skillsets on how to combat any manner of foe and counter any manner of attack. Besting him in combat is no small feat and while not impossible, is quite difficult.

Messenger of the Presence:
Michael was also used by the Presence in ancient times to convey messages. In his role as the Revelator, he is able to converse will all Creatures in their native tongue and understand their language and writing. His communications skills are also well practiced and he can be socialble with most intelligent creatures as well as understand language aspects such as humor and wordplay from every culture in the Universe.

Resources

Aubade (Michael's Sword):
Michael's Sword is unique in that it is imbued with a portion of the Presence itself within it. As such it can eradicate any being it strikes. Michael does not draw this weapon without serious consideration of the threat being posed. Against most foes he prefers to use the spear he usually carries. The Sword is a very last resort weapon. There are drawbacks to using the Sword as anything done with it will draw the Eye of the Presence to it. This can result in the Presence judging Michael's use as true to its will or not.

Heavenly Armory:
The vaults of the Heavenly Armory are open to Michael. These vaults are filled with all manner of weapon and all are imbued with the essence of the divine. As such armor and weapons weilded by Michael and his army should be treated as Divine weapons and imbued with higher durability than standard weapons of their shape and form. In addition, the armory continues to experiment and create more powerful weapons and armor that can overcome/withstand the inherent weak points in their current state.

Heavenly Army:
The number of the angels is beyond scope. Michael is Commander of an almost limitless army of soliders that, apart from the other Archangels follow his commands without error. The Army of Heaven is granted superhuman levels of strength, speed, stamina, and a variety of other powers and abilities (energy manipulation, invulnerability, various combat skills) in an increasing level from the lowest 'Angels' to the highest 'Seraphim.'

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Divine Purpose:
As an Archangel, Michael is a creature of purpose. His understanding of the workings of the universe are tempered by this purpose. This can lead to a somewhat rigid view of the universe and does not lend itself to much imagination or ingenuity. Any deviation from this purpose can have catastrophic consequences (see the Fall of Lucifer, for example) and Michael will go to great lengths to see that his purpose remains pure and untarnished. As such, this means he can be tricked with ease if his expectations are subverted by the power of free will present in mortals (and near mortals, alike.)

Entropic Decay:
There is no place more hazardous for a creature of energy than the realms of Nullspace. For Michael, dying of entropic nullification would take slightly less than an infinity. Nullspace is still a dangerous place for him. There are entities in the endless void that could unmake him if he were vulnerable or overpowered. Any creature that can threaten Michael with entropic decay has a formidable weapon against which, Michael has few if any defenses.

Hellfire:
It is no mystery that the fires of Hell are a weapon of potent force against Angelic forces and Michael is no different. While angelic armor gives some level of protection against it, if concentrated enough, it can hurt him to great effect. Direct fire from Archdukes of Hell (Hell Lords included) or talismans enchanted by Lucifer's hand can bypass some of these protections.
