Virgil Demiurgos

### Killer Style

“I like to show my skin! I mean, it literally sheds divine light, so wouldn't it be a 'sin' to conceal it? Believe me, I’m not about that white robe nonsense like my cousins."

### Favorite Color

"What's striking, sensual, and red all over? That's right, red! Particularly the candy apple shade."

**Virgil Demiurgos** is the son of **Virgo**, the maiden, and a common Abrahamic **angel**.

## **Character**

### **Powers & Abilities**

* **Cosmic Manipulation:** As his mother is a celestial, Virgil inherits a certain degree of control over cosmic matter. However, his abilities are diluted by him being a half-breed, and even then he can only access his mother’s particular domains during certain times of the year, depending on the alignment of stars and other cosmic bodies.
* **Angel Physiology:** Virgil has the fundamental powers of an average angel. However, being only a half-angel, he is not bound by the same moral restrictions as proper angels and archangels, and thus has far more personal and physical freedoms.
	+ **Supernatural Beauty:** ~~can you tell this is wish fulfillment~~ As is the case with all angels, Virgil has a Heaven-induced allure, which helps make him look desirable with less effort than most.
* **Flight:** From both sides, Virgil has a naturally-occurring pair of pristine white feathered wings. They are extremely versatile, and can be shrunk, enlarged, or even vanished at will. Curiously, however, his wings don't seem to have to work very hard, or even move at all to keep him off the ground. Essentially, his wings are symbolic manifestations of his celestial nature, and not necessarily tools to achieve flight. Therefore, he can fly with or without them.

## **Classic Monsters - Virgo & Angel**

**Main Article:** [1], [2]

**Virgo** (Greek: Παρθένος, Parthenos) is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 150–180th degree of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 and September 22, and the Sun transits the constellation Virgo from approximately September 16 to October 30. Individuals born during these dates, depending on which system of astrology they subscribe to, may be called Virgos or Virgoans; they are also represented in newspaper horoscopes with other astrological signs. The symbol of the maiden is based on Astraea. In Greek mythology, she was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign's association with Earth.

An **angel** is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies. Abrahamic religions often depict angels as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God (or Heaven) and humanity. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out tasks on behalf of God. Abrahamic religions often organize angels into hierarchies, although such rankings may vary between sects in each religion. Such angels may receive specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). People have also extended the use of the term "angel" to various notions of spirits or figures found in other religious traditions. The theological study of angels is known as "angelology".

### **Personal Parallels**

* My mom is probably the most innocent, obsessive-compulsive, and cleanly person I know - These are qualities associated with Virgos
	+ This is mostly a coincidence, however, seeing as I chose Virgo for a monster parent since I myself am a Virgo (my mom is, in fact, a Scorpio)
* My dad is deeply religious; a pastor, actually - Virgil’s father is an angel, a servant of God
	+ My dad was also in the military. Angels are considered heavenly soldiers
* My parents met while my dad was on a religious mission - Virgil’s dad met Virgo while spreading God’s grace or whatever throughout the cosmos
* My favorite supernatural ability is flight - Both Virgo and angels are depicted with wings
* I am mixed ethnically and culturally (brown Mexican mom, white American dad) - Virgil is a half-breed of two similar, but ultimately separate (monster) races

## **Trivia**

* His favorite number is 25
* His diary has written on it: *There's a cosmic joke and guess what it is? It's you trying to read my diary.*

## **Notes**

* Virgil, despite being an exaggerated self-insert, was heavily, *heavily* inspired by the cosmic aesthetics of Neil Gaiman’s *The Sandman*
	+ Particularly in the characters of Desire, Lucifer, and Michael Demiurgos
		- He takes his surname from that last character
* He has a Pinterest board! (warning: nsfw)
