Don’t know what that is
My dude. Read Potter already. It’s a massive cultural cornerstone of two generations and you’re excluding yourself from the most influential work of literary fiction of the century so far.
IDK I prefer the Silmarillion.
Of course. Potter’s metaphysics are pitiful, especially in comparison.
I’m not interesting in reading Harry Potter at all, since I can’t stand magic…
Also, “Potter” means “Harry Potter”, right? Or are you referring to something else?
He says, as he plays an Atlantean.
Eh, I’m also rather inconsistent From what I’ve seen and heard about Harry Potter, there is just nothing that interests me about the franchise.
Fair enough, but I would recommend actually checking it out for yourself, if only to understand the plethora of cultural references you’ve been missing out on.
It’s all in the name
Name: Edward Arcangelo
Alias: Halo
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Alignment: Hero
Bio: Edward Arcangelo was a wealthy investment banker in Metropolis’ Central Business District. He was shrewd and vain, often scamming his clients and using their money on gambling, drugs and other vices. Suffice to say, despite his surname, he was no angel.
However, one day as he was heading home, he noticed a child crossing the road. They hadn’t looked where they were going and a truck was heading right towards them. Acting entirely on his gut, Arcangelo threw himself into the road and pushed the kid out of the way. Of course, his gut wasn’t the most logical thinker as by doing that he’d just gotten himself hit by the truck.
The impact of the collision and whiplash snapped his neck, killing him. Arriving in purgatory, he was met by Saint Peter. His case was an interesting one. Of course, throughout the majority of his life he hadn’t shown thought for anyone but himself, but when he died, he did so because of a selfless act to save someone he didn’t know.
Arcangelo then woke up in his bed, as if it was all just a bad dream. But as he got up, he felt a greater weight on his back as if he were wearing something. He quickly realised that he now had a large set of white feathered wings. Thinking nothing of where they may have come from, he decided to enjoy them and took himself on his own tour around the city. Afterwards, he decided he’d throw a party and boast this to his friends and colleagues.
It was the same as any other party he usually found himself at, drugs, gambling and all manner of debauchery. The next morning, Edward woke up hungover with a sore throat. But something else felt wrong. As he spread his wings he had grown proud of, he noticed a large chunk of the feathers on the right wing had fallen out. He wasn’t sure what caused this, but imagined maybe one of the girls at the party got a little handsy.
He went for a morning flight around his neighborhood, but spotted an old lady in distress. A burly man ran away with her purse, and she struggled to keep up. He decided he may as well help, and flew in to her safety. After returning the purse to the old lady, he felt a stinging in his wings. He thought at first that another feather was falling out, but in fact one was growing back.
As he flew around doing good deeds, he found that for every righteous act he did a feather grew back. Arcangelo discovered more of the powers he’d been granted, starting to come to terms with how to control them. While still not exactly sure what his task on Earth was, why he was given it, how long he’d be given to complete it or even what would happen if he lost all his feathers - he now knew what path to follow.
Powers/Equipment: Edward Arcangelo has two feathered white wings, with a span of 1.76m (5 ft 9 in), naturally these grant him the ability of flight. One way he learned to use his flight is by flying around a victim in circles to create a whirlwind. Other than his wings, he also has other angelic powers. One of these is to form a halo, creating an aura of holy flames around himself that he can direct as projectiles and burn combatants with or use to intensify his whirlwinds. He also has on various occasions been able to transmute objects in a way that could be considered a miracle. While not presumably immortal, he does have a much greater level of endurance than an average human.
Appearance:
Aight, approved
I feel like I should’ve made it clear what the names of the bartender and the bouncer were, because they have names - I just didn’t know how to include that without it feeling weird. For future reference, the bartender is Jim Rook, and the bouncer is Daniel Cassidy. Some of you will probably know who they are, but for those that don’t, those are their names
Figured
Btw is the ghostly person in there supposed to be deadman?
If you feel like an answer would give stuff away then feel free to ignore that question.
Nah, someone else
Isn’t deadman normally not visible
^ This is part of why it’s not him
I’m not actually sure, the only comic I’ve read that he was really in was brightest day, and he’s not really dead in that. Plus, it’s been a while since I read it.
Feel free to continue with the whole E. Nygma situation, @TheMightyObsidianDude. Thelryn will just stand by and watch (I still can’t think of any way I could respond to your RP ).
Hey guys I’m busy this weekend and probably tomorrow I’ll reply to the RP when I can
why do I feel like this is a hint towards something
Knowing Obs, it probably is. I have no idea what it might be, though.
