Azra'iel Einar || male || 18 || human || witch
Azra'iel is somewhat of a loner; unless one addresses him directly, he appears rather unapproachable. He rarely smiles outside of a conversation and more than likely has at least a slight frown of concentration on his face. He maintains a reserved, but courtly manner and has his own private code of chivalry: protect those who need it, seek the truth in everything, and always 'mind your manners'... ...well some parental dogmas never can be shaken off! His protective nature is both a boon and a trial to him: if he could just pull everything he wanted to protect within his own skin, he might relax more often.
While most only ever see him as very solemn and may feel he is trying to act beyond his age, Azra'iel truthfully possesses a ready sense of humor, a love of irony, and appreciation of the ridiculous. One simply has to engage him to get to know him a bit. Some might call him slow; he would quietly inform you he is deliberate. The same some might also call him stubborn, though he prefers the term tenacious. He is comfortable in his skin, with his powers, and with who and what he is.
Tenacious may be the term he prefers, but that tenacity is a trait he steeps himself in. Not a perfectionist precisely, Azra'iel is patient and stubborn enough to not try anything until he is certain he can accomplish it. He also won't give up on a project even when it seems hopeless. His manners, while impeccable, are sometimes a source of ridicule due to his formal, and sometimes antiquated courtesies. Growing up almost exclusively in the company of reserved parents, a near-silent sister, and stern tutors, Azra'iel is not used to being teased and does not take it well. In defense, he generally takes on an even more polite, nearly icy demeanor; though his glare sparks fire even as he spits ice.
Traits
✠ serious ---> Whether one considers this good or bad is a matter of perspective; but it does make Azra'iel an excellent listener. However, he isn't always the most fun person to be around.
✠ honest ---> Azra'iel simply does not understand a reason to deal in anything other than the truth. He will always seek the truth of a situation. However, he does tend to get stuck with his foot in his mouth a lot; he can forget the truth isn't always kind and be a bit too blunt for his own good.
✠ sense of humor ---> Considering his serious demeanor, Azra'iel actually has a somewhat sadistic sense of humor. He enjoys seeing how far he can push someone until their temper snaps. But this trait seems to abandon him when he is the one being teased and he gets a bit sulky.
✠ deliberate ---> Azra'iel is precisely that: he uses logic, strategy, and his calm nature to get tasks accomplished. He's not short in the intelligence department, either. Calm strength gets far more accomplished than shouting, in his mind.
✠ tenacious ---> One of Azra'iel's best and worst traits. 'Giving up' is just not part of his vocabulary. Once he has committed to something, it will be seen through to the end. Well, unless it is revealed to be some horrific plot that would bring about the destruction of the world or something...Azra'iel isn't very good at the whole 'evil' thing.
Likes
✠ silence ---> The library is an absolute haven from a loud, less-than-intelligent world. Not to mention, there are books there. But really, Azra'iel just needs a bit of silence so he can hear himself think every once in a while now that he isn't living safely at home.
✠ earning trust ---> Azra'iel enjoys feeling that someone is relying on him; but not in a holier-than-thou manner. He genuinely likes to help others and is honored to have people feel they can request his assistance with problems or tasks.
✠ stargazing ---> Though he'd never admit it to anyone, except maybe his sister, Azra'iel has a gentle, romantic heart. Simple things like stargazing are meditative to him; allowing him the peace and beauty he can't quite admit he is looking for.
Dislikes
✠ entitlement ---> Even having been born to a privileged family, Azra'iel was still taught to value hard work and takes pride in the things he himself has worked to accomplish. Those who feel they deserve something without work really irritate him.
✠ disrespect ---> A personal philosophy of his is that there is someone better than he is in any given situation. Azra'iel doesn't degrade himself, but he does acknowledge his youth. Therefore, there is someone who is older and wiser than he is and he respects that. Those that disregard that knowledge and experience will in turn earn Azra'iel's disrespect themselves.
✠ cowardice ---> Azra'iel wouldn't claim himself to be 'brave,' but he always puts his full effort into accomplishing a task set before him. Those who shrink away or avoid uncomfortable situations draw his scorn with their lack of conviction.
Quirks
---> While his hair is generally beyond his control, Azra'iel is absolutely fastidious about his clothing. Wrinkles are the bane of his existence!
---> Books are alternate dimensions to Azra'iel. If he is reading, one might as well walk away and not bother trying for his attention; it's nearly impossible to yank him out of a book he has opened.
---> Azra'iel can be heard to talk to himself with some frequency. He doesn't harbor additional personalities, it is simply a habit. He doesn't even realize when he is doing it. Since he doesn't exactly have hordes of friends willing to debate philosophy with him, he improvises.

There are two kinds of light--the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures. You have to understand the nature of light.
Aside from his sword work, Azra'iel is able to manipulate the light around him. His powers are all under the arc of offensive light magic, though he also specializes in barriers. The more ambient light, the stronger the results of his spells. In the dark, Azra'iel is severely hindered when using spells, but his sword-work remains unaffected. He also shows some interest and aptitude for herbology, though just the literal mixing of herbs, no powers.
In regards to his sword: Azra'iel usually carries a sword from his collection and uses his magic to enhance that weapon. However, once he grasps more of his powers and reaches the stage of witch, he can summon a sword from the light within his being that is essentially a manifestation of his will. Once Azra'iel reaches the distinction of Cerberus Knight, Shad'ya will blend her power with his own and he can summon this sword any time rather than only in desperation. Because the weapon is essentially conjured from the soul of his familiar, a being of magic, it can more easily be charged with his own magic and the results are more spectacular. It also costs him much less effort to accomplish the summoning.
|| Soul's Truth ||
This shockingly delicate tea was the result brewed by Azra'ial after his Grave of Fairies trial. Once cautiously consumed, the knowledge of the tea's nature brushed against the depths of his soul like a midnight whisper rather than the punch in the gut he expected from the characteristics of the ingredients.

art (c) Omiekins, originally from Moonlore. Shad'ya appears in Lilium Hallow with permission
A spell gone slightly wrong informed Azra'iel his talents lay within the direction of the Ars Lilium shortly after his arrival at the Makai Royal Academy. He somehow managed to summon Shad'ya, but only her spirit, as he was no where near powerful enough to summon a true familiar. As he went through school, she teased, taunted and sometimes, assisted him in his studies.
After graduating, the two theorized on how to best approach actually summoning Shad'ya, as she was sick of being in limbo between existence and eternal slumber. As a witch, Azra'iel was in theory capable of helping her form fully within the physical realm. But of course it couldn't be as simple as re-summoning Shay'da; that was the first avenue they tried. Because her spirit was already partially within the physical realm, all this accomplished was allowing her to appear in a spiritual form to Azra'iel. So while he could now see her, she still wasn't corporeal.
It wasn't until Azra'iel was fully in control of his gifts and had received special permission to reenter the grounds of the Grave of Fairies that he was able to give his long-suffering familiar corporeal form. Altering her summoning spell and combining angel down, poplar fluff, tiger's blood and his own light magic, Aza'iel finally was able to create a corporeal form for his familiar to exist in.
[something along these lines, does need some serious editing and/or RP realization >.<]

|| Warmer Climate - Snow Patrol ||
Tell me if I'm going crazy
But everything you said amazed me
Seems to easy on the ear to
Be something I should adhere to
You told me to just simply wander
Rather than take shelter under
And open my heart to the thought that
Life is something you're not caught at
Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside our front hall
Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't want to take it nice and slow here
Don't want to waste a minute more, dear
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
Maybe it's the warmer climate
Maybe I'm a smarter primate
Maybe it's the beer I'm drinking
Maybe I've stopped over-thinking
Baby you're the words and chapters
The sweetness in the morning after
You are the cry that turns to laughter
You're the hope that ends disaster
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
But the universe is just an empty space
And all the stars can disappear without a trace
And I'm so glad that this has taken so long
'Cause it's the journey that made me so strong
