Name: Elyonel Race: Angel Classification: Nephil Age: 20

Background: Angels are born with free will. However, unlike humans, they always know right from wrong, so they can only ever sin willingly. And many of them did. The Nephilim are the children born between angels and humans, described in ancient texts as being mighty giants. Elyonel is not a mighty giant, nor does she know if that description is accurate. She is not the daughter of an angel but rather a far descendant of one. In many aspects, Elyonel is as human as everyone else. She was born as a baby from a womb, grew up, and went through school. She is most definitely aging with time, and she's going to die one day. But unlike the other kids that she grew up with, she has fluffy, feathered wings and a halo. Most people can't see or touch them, but they are there. Her mom has them too, as did her grandma and her mother before her. How many generations ago did this begin? She does not know. Elyonel's life was, for the most part, extremely normal. Her mother taught her to keep the secret, which she did. She is an only child, and her father had no idea about the true nature of his wife and daughter. It is secret among only the two of them. Things changed when Elyonel took her first trip to Rome, shortly after graduating high school. Once there, while she was sightseeing in the eternal city, Elyonel felt a unique presence. It was similar to how she sensed her own mother, but so much stronger and more compelling. That's how she found Condominio Ascensione. Elyonel moved in shortly after and has been living there for two years at this point, while attending law school in the city. The opportunity to live in Rome with all expenses covered is a big deal for her. Elyonel has a very complicated relationship with religion and spirituality. On one hand, it's impossible for her to deny the existence of God and Heaven. On the other hand, because of what she is, Elyonel knows that the salvation promised in scripture doesn't apply to her. Based on what the other angels in the apartment have told her, there is no place in Heaven, Hell, or Earth for Nephilim. The very fact that they exist is proof of sin. Having wings and a halo would suggest that the rules that apply to her are the ones that apply to all angels, but it's impossible to know for certain. Elyonel chose to not tell her angel peers that her mother was a fallen one.

Elyonel's mother: Elyonel's wings and halo are not like her mother's. Her mother's are pitch black, and they have been that color for as long as Elyonel remembers. She explained that when she felt ugly emotions, like jealousy, envy, or hatred, her halo would dim and her wings would become gray, but those changes were temporary. Elyonel has experienced these same changes herself. However, her mother said that when she became pregnant with Elyonel, her wings and halo turned pitch black and never turned back. Apparently, perpetuating the sin of mixing humans with celestials is not something that can be forgiven and caused her to become a fallen one.

Personality: Kind, caring, and thoughtful. She has always been the kind of person who takes other people by their hands and pulls them along, taking charge and initiative in most things. In fact, leading other kids by directly holding their hands was a staple of Elyonel's childhood. She has few reservations about touching people who she is familiar with. Like most Italians, Elyonel often talks using her hands. Elyonel sometimes muses over the nature of her existence but doesn't get overly hung up on it. "I am what I am; there's no point in worrying too much about it. The only way for me to live is as a human girl."

Appearance: Light blue hair, flowing freely on her back, with light green eyes and thick eyebrows. Elyonel is a white Italian woman, a bit tall, with a slim figure and somewhat large breasts. She is undoubtedly beautiful. She wears a beige sleeveless turtleneck sweater, white denim pants, hairbands, and tennis shoes. She keeps a blue scrunchie on her wrist for when she needs to tie up her hair. She has a halo and white wings. For those that can perceive them, her wings are fluffy and feathered, but also rather small. Each is about the same length of her arms.

Abilities: Elyonel is a bit tall compared to other women, but she certainly isn't a mighty giantess. She also isn't capable of the same feats of strength that her peers at the Ascensione can perform. And most importantly, Elyonel is neither immortal nor indestructible. And yet, she retains a handful of key angelical abilities. She can sense other angels, which is how she found these apartments in the first place. Elyonel is not burned by fire, even if she were to be entirely engulfed in it. And perhaps the most puzzling one is the fact that Elyonel instinctively knows if a given choice or action is a sin. "I have a neat little alarm in my head that warns me when I'm about to do something bad. I can feel my wings turning pitch black if I ever think about it. It's kinda terrifying, you know? Having to think about being damned all the time."

Others in the apartment: Merakon: A Throne angel that was cast out from Heaven not because of sin, but for incompetence. She was supposed to deliver a prophecy to a chosen human but scared him to death instead. Her human form is imperfect because she still has many eyes, which she hides using a yellow hoodie and some obfuscation to hide her face. She is the founder of the apartment and has lived the longest in the human world, over 3000 years. Aniel: A Guardian Angel that broke the rules by saving the girl she watched over, even though her death was part of God's plan. Her charge died a week later and Aniel is currently in the process of becoming a fallen. She is only 173 years old, with purple hair and black eyes, with white wings that are gradually turning black from the tips. Stays locked in her room, depressed and terrified of being Heaven's judgement. Exadron: A Seraph that came to Earth 327 years ago in order to figure out what was so great about God's creation but never returned to God's side. She takes the form of a petite teenage girl with pink hair, yellow eyes, and large breasts. She is profoundly racist against humans for being inferior beings. Kedriel: Powers angel that has refused to take up arms against the forces of evil, because they are, ultimately, the same as her own kind. She is in open rebellion but not fallen, because compassion and loving one's enemies is a Heavenly value, even though those teachings were meant for humans, not angels. She has the form of an adult woman with red eyes and red hair that is constantly on fire and is almost always wearing a formal suit. Has wandered Earth for 62 years.
