This is used to give a basic idea of who this character is) <b>AU Ideas:</b> (Here is where you talk about what plans you may have for your character's intended AU. Reading this, others should hopefully get an idea of what you intend to do with your character's back story pertaining to the game's setting.) <b>Looking For:</b> (This section is for hypothetical things you would like to see, be it events, people related to them, whatever; canon parallels, character proxies, all of that goes here.) <b>Anything else?:</b> (Anything that you feel has been overlooked or that should be noted goes here.)

Character Name: Castiel
Canon Name: Supernatural
Brief History:

Angel of the Lord, pulls Dean Winchester from hell to stop the opening of Lucifer's cage, turns out the angels are gunning for the apocalypse anyways so decides to rebel against heaven for humanity's sake. Frequently rebels against heaven for the protection of humanity, but often ends up screwing things up even more. Heart is in the right place though!

AU Ideas: Definitely Psychic/Flying, eventually evolving wings. As for Trainer Ability I'm torn between Analyst and Mastery of Battle, though leaning towards Analyst as it somewhat mimics his mind reading abilities.

My problem is his backstory, and how much of Supernatural's actual canon do I try and incorporate into the AU...cause there's a LOT of it. Seriously I wrote out the most basic Cliff Notes for his history above and it ended up about 6 paragraphs. And I wasn't going into ANY details.

He's definitely been home schooled his whole life, comes from a big high class family who are extremely religious, and has been trained and conditioned to join either The Swords of the Savior or the Divine Defense Force. This part is set and done.

So in canon he is known to rebel and fight against his superiors for the sake of humanity, even before the Winchesters came along, but they were always able to recondition/torture him back into obedience. It's when the Winchesters enter his life that no amount of torture will "fix" him. So, my big concern is that there might not be enough discord and problems within the city to cause him to rebel against the system yet since the trigger is usually a slaughter of humanity.

So to rebel or not to rebel? Either option I know what I'm doing, I just need to figure out if it's a thing that would be viable to be happening in this AU or not.

Looking For: Would love some canon mates! Also regardless of which way I go with his AU History he will most certainly have served time with The Swords of the Savior, so he might know some of the older Swords like Ky or Garen, but maybe it's possible he served with a different Garrison? That way he only knows them in passing and we have the chance to actually build up CR in the game.

That being said CR from anyone! Though warning: Cas can be a little prickly and socially awkward, even if he is human in this AU.

Anything else?:
