## Backstory

During the second generation of Capellus, Palstrine was executing their largest genocide of demons as they still retained their beastly form and slaughtered daily. Due to this, a group that would later be known as the demon hunters, rose up and created weapons capable of nullifying demonic auras. This genocide would place every demon in Palstrine on the hit list, the Stakos included. Of all targeted demons, this family fought back the most, and hence were treated the harshest. Word of the their mistreatment spreaded around Hell, yet none seemed to care. Slip, a brother of Peppercorn, decided that he would become of their assistance. No one stopped him as his aether allowed for unlimited mobility, along with his close relation to royalty. Little did they know, Slip simply wished to leave Hell and live as a regular demon. Upon meeting the Stakos, he made them aware that he was going to be their "savior", and that they all would have his power. He had weapons for all of them stored in his dimension, so that they could fight back against these hunters. And so Slip, performed one of the only aether contracts known in Capellus history, that of which gave the Stako family his aura. This caused every Stako to gain highlights to their hair, meaning all of them had a piece of Slip. Unfortunately, none of them could use the full extent of his aura and could only summon these weapons he had provided for them. After this contract, Slip was never seen again.

The sixth generation brought upon a new message from Slip. Every Stako alive had a vision: a new savior will arrive. Word of this leaked to the royals as some Stakos worked as servants. They ordered that the child must be used by them once the child is born, or the Stakos would face another massacre of their bloodline. This child, ironically, was named Angel, due to angels being seen as soaring to new heights in life, and Slip dubbing him the new savior. Angel's parents hesitantly complied with the royal's demands to ensure no genocide would occur. However, they were still suspicious as power to that extent could not exist. They immediately tested Angel for his aether pool, and were not disappointed, and so believed the Stakos to be truthul. The demons were spared, but were told that they would need to send the child to them every day for conditioning. This frustrated the Palstrine Freedom Fighters, and so threatened Angel's parents into having him conditioned by them as well. This meant that Angel would be used as a tool for each side’s opposing goals, which became very draining to him as he grew up.

The PFF taught him how to be stealthy and how to lock-pick effectively, and what they knew about Slip and the legends. The royals in turn forced Angel to use his Slip abilities to do basic jobs for them, thus resulting in him becoming proficient. By day, Angel was with the royals, doing their bidding to keep his family alive. By night, Angel was a part of the PFF, doing anything they asked him to do.  When Angel reached 15, he began being forced into killing his own family members by the royals because of them not working in factories. If Angel didn’t do what the royals said, they would execute him and his family, so he did as told but broke down each time he had to do it.

Eventually, Angel became fed up with how his life was, having been used as a tool for his entire life. He told his parents that he was leaving Palstrine as he needed a break from the stress and work. His parents made him aware of what his cousin, Endie’s, parents had done years before, and made him aware of where they think they are. They also told him that Azuria would be the best place for him to go due to what they had done for demons before. And so, Angel completely disappeared from Palstrine, and started his journey to Azuria.

## Appearance

Angel has fairly long hair that's tied into a ponytail, parted bang to the right side of his face. It is black with white tips, though when his aura is active, his hair becomes completely white. He wears a long t, steampunk-esq coat with a Palstrine brand on the back, and a one strap bag andthin hoodie under it. During PFF missions, he's seen with an oni gas mask and keeps his hood up. His pants have a pouch attached to it in order to contain an aether crystal. He wears high-top sneakers to complete his fit.

## Personality

Angel is fairly laid-back. He's very good at following plans given to him, meaning he works really well with strategists. Angel is more inclined to do good than bad, but is not inherently the typical "good guy". He simply wants what's best for his friends and family. Due to his past, he resents the Palstrine royals, but only really shows that resentment to people he can trust. Due to his upbringing he's fairly strong willed, and can only really be angered when pushed to the edge.

## Weapons

### Kyūseishu Demon Katana

Kyuseishu is obtained when the visions of Slip deem him worthy enough to use his blade. Once this happens, Angel's Slip forcibly takes him to Hell, and has to steathly move around the royal castle to aquire the katana. Angel is naturally drawn to the katana and eventually finds it inside of a locked room that he gains entrance to. Demons swarm the room as soon as he acquires the blade, but he manages to escape back to the mortal realm.

Kyu is a katana forged by Slip himself. It is particularly strong against angels as it is infused with Slip's Demonic aether, and explains why Angel is attracted to it.

### Demon Hunter Claymore

The demon hunter claymore is gifted to him from the royals so that they can force him to do hunting jobs, which included hunting his own. The blade, like every other demon hunter wepaon, is capable of nullifying a demon's aura, and does more damage towards them. He usually keeps it wrapped up so he can slip, and so he doesn't accidentally cut himself or someone else with it.

## Equipment

Angel doesn't really have any notable equipment on him. He stores miscellaneous weapons and items in the Slip Dimension, including a handheld console, some water bottles to keep himself hydrated, spices for cooking, and a change of clothes.

## Transformations

### AuraVision: Hourglass

Hourglass is acquired one day on a solo PFF mission. During this mission, Angel is ambushed by multiple demon hunters and gets cut on the eye. Ironically, this cut awakens his aura for the first time, dubbed "Hourglass". Hourglass makes him have 3 visions of ways he could die during a fight, so he can retcon these deaths and have the upper hand against an enemy. This aura drains his stamina, and can only be used every 3 days, and so he prefers not to use it.

Hourglass makes his hair completely white and gives his right eye a golden color, with demonic aether leaking out of it like gas. It also coats his right arm in armor made completely of demonic aether.
