Username: Flaming Dead Man.Name: Charlie "Death Angel" Steel.
Distinction: Sleep.
Faction: Ghoul.
Moral Affinity: Neutral Evil.
Race: Angel.
Focus: Magic.
Element: Air.
Personality: Cold and calculating, Charlie has a cruel mind and a black heart. He has little to no fear and feels no shame or regret for his actions.
Background: Before the Sleep, Charlie was a very romantic and sweet man. He made sure that whomever he was with, he treated with the utmost respect and took the time to get to know the individual. He was wondrous at remembering things, keeping track of everyone's birthdays, their likes and dislikes, and especially the things that they were good at and enjoyed. He was a scholar, back then, reading up on anything and everything he could get his hands on--medical books, novels, the writing of English critics--because the world fascinated him. He couldn't remember where he had come from, only that he was somewhere new and exciting. It wasn't until the Big Sleep that he became the horror he is now.
Charlie spends his time people watching. He sits in front of shops, bars, or even on roof tops, and watches the people play out their lives before him. About once a week, he finds one soul that he finds particularly interesting--their personalities and lifestyles may not be, but perhaps their souls are a special certain color and 'flavor', as he calls it. He then focuses all of his attention on this person--he follows them home, lurking in the shadows, studying their every move, noting their every word, devising a plan for himself. A plan for their end. Those who have heard of him and his ways have begun to tell a story to their children: if you find a feather, watch your back; the angel of death may be watching.
Although he loves blood and gore, he favors the souls of those he kills. Just before his victim's death, he devours her soul. He fancies himself as the Grim Reaper.
Hobbies: Of course, Charlie enjoys watching people, but he also keeps his old habits of reading and studying. He keeps journals of the souls he steals, as well as keeps himself updated in the medical field.
Likes: Aside from the obvious, Charlie enjoys things mechanical and technological. He likes things that make him think and wonder. He is particularly interested with the workings of magic. He enjoys classical music--that from the ancient times--as well as the feeling of velvet and silk, the visual textures of wood and iron, and the colors black and blood red.
Dislikes: Charlie dislikes the human heart; to him, they are fragile and uselessly emotional. He hates things that are overly romantic, things that make him wait, and when he doesn't get what he wants.
Strengths: Charlie does not give up easily. He is very level-headed, always trying to view things from different perspectives. He's very good at understanding the ways of others and his memory is incredible. He has trained himself to see well in the dark and his ears are attuned to the sound of a pin dropping in a crowded hall. His sense of touch is astounding, as well. Because of these things, he has learned to become very stealthy on his feet. He is very agile and flexible.
Weaknesses: Charlie is stubborn. He refuses to admit that he is wrong and he doesn't know when to give up. Although he is wonderful at seeing other people through their eyes, he as trouble looking in on himself. He has a terrible sense of smell and can barely taste anything, other than blood.
Specialties:
Human Anatomy: with his extensive research into the workings of the human body, his anatomy skills are top notch. He knows all of the 'sweet spots', though he hardly ever uses them.
Weapon of Choice: Scythe: he stores this weapon in his apartment, bringing it with him only when necessary. He chose this weapon because of its lore attachments to Death. The weapon's pole is about eight feet long, the blade about five curved feet. It is balanced at the center with weights within the pole at the opposite end. Both the blade and the pole are made out of incredibly strong metal and require a vast amount of strength to wield, especially wield properly. Most humans are unable to lift it from the center without some sort of help--it weighs approximately 4,000 pounds. In order to wield his weapon, Charlie manipulates the air around himself and his scythe. In reality, the only reason he holds the scythe at all is for better guidance.
Appearance: Charlie is missing his right eye. He covers the hole with a leather patch sewn directly into his skin. His remaining eye is bright blue, and he has his left ear pierced twice. His hair is black and shaggy, he lets it stay unkempt. He has thin lips and all of his teeth are filed into fangs; his mouth remains hidden behind the collar of his jacket. Long ago, he had a nice set of white angel wings protruding from his back. Now, two tears are visible in his jacket and the shirt underneath. If one were to remove his jacket, they would see that he has two long wounds, there, where it appears his wings were torn from his flesh. Nowadays, his wings are an extension of his former ghastly self. They have replicated what they once were, protruding from his back and moving as they should, though they have no actual matter and, thus, are essentially just for show. The real power behind his flight is the manipulation of the air around him.
Height: 6 feet 2 inches.
Weight: About 175lbs.
Current Inventory:
House Key: this key is for Charlie's house. He doesn't spend much time, here, but uses it for storing the rest of his random possessions.
Mood Music: Mussorgsky's Gnomus.

ѻ Charlie has come to realize that all the theories he had for his creation and former life were utterly wrong. He had never become a sleep, and thus, never a ghoul. He's simply an angel with certain desires. The catalyst of this epiphany was Charon's insight.
ѻ Charlie has learned that he can access other elements, and has begun dabbling with the powers of ice and frost.
