* Default
* Fullbody Sketch

**Guardian-Archangel David Daniel Above** is a main character in Daniellore. He is the guardian and older brother to Daniel-Daniel, the Hand of the Prophet. David currently resides in the Sacred Realm, as his soul is tethered to it.

David Above is the reincarnation of Stanley Above.

## Appearance

Due to his heritage, David Above takes on a different appearance than either of his parents.

David is rather animal like, with a wolf-shaped head, large claws and fangs, wolf-like legs, and having fur. He stands on both of his legs, and is rather tall, but has the ability to run in a more 'all fours' skitter aswell.

David has a large mane that surrounds his neck, akin to a moth. He also has two long, sharp horns, of which he inherited from his demon side.

David possess four arms- The upper set of which contains large claws, and are long, powerful, and rather furry. His lower set are thin and wiry, and have no fur at all, instead having a rather scaly flesh like substance covering them. Both lower arms are shorter than their upper counterparts, and both hands contain six, bony fingers.

David has three tails, that run like spines on his lower back. Each of these tails are prehensile, and are ribbon like.

Color wise, David is mostly a light grey, with certain parts being lighter or darker grey. Certain parts of him, such as his his ears, lower arms, and tails, are a vibrant, glassy, somewhat see-through shade of green.

The most notable part of David are his eyes and wings. He has large, feathered, angel-like wings, the lower feathers of which glow various bright colors that match his eyes.

In his \_\_\_ Realm disguise, David appears as a light grey dragon that somewhat resembles a gargoyle. He has a large, fluffy white mane, small white eyebrows, and two large braids in his mane. He has a dark grey stripe running down his head, a dark grey jaw, and a dark grey underbelly/chest/palms/undersides of limbs. He also has a very long, serpentine tail with a white, fluffed tip. He still has his angelic wings, which is a notable oddity according to most dragons. His eyes, before ascension, were a dim purple, and post ascension became a fiery orange.

During his ascension candidacy, he also wore steel blue bracers, braid rings, and his god-candidate collar was the same steel blue, with a fiery orange gem to match his eyes.

## History (Old)

**history is outdated and going to rewritten**

bullet points 4 rewrite

* mortal realm needs minor rewrite due to magic suppression
* war of ashes needs to be rewritten COMPLETELY, split into pre war, war, and aura arc
* sacred realm section needs updating
* ADD SECTIONS FOR THE ARCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### Mortal Realm

Much of David's early life was spent in the Mortal Realm, where he was born. He was quickly disowned due to his physical appearance, however due to David's large amount of magic power, aswell as holding the soul of the priest, this did not disadvantage him.

During this time, David travelled across the Mortal Realm through the span of many, many years, before he eventually learned to transcend to the other realms.

David would spend thousands of years exploring the other realms, even learning to tap into the multiverse itself at some point

### War of Ashes

During his travels across the realms, David would use his prophetic powers to prevent a catastrophic tragedy on an inhabited planet in the \_\_\_ Realm. Thanks to David, said planet's inhabitants were able to survive the catastrophe, and the planet slowly recovered.

The planet would come to be known as the Ashen Planet to David.

As David's stayed on the Ashen Planet, he met two of its inhabitants, known as Vera and Skeet, of whom he would become very good friends with. David and Vera would eventually be married, and had 5 kids.

At some point, David, Vera, and Skeet all ascended to become the gods of the \_\_\_ Realm- David himself would come to be known as "Daniyr" by the inhabitants of the realm, and Vera and Skeet came to be known as Verayia and Skeetym. For ages after this, the three gods would rule in peace.

Eventually, a war would begin, known as the "War of Ashes". David and Verayia would battle against Skeetym for a thousand years, whilst the inhabitants of the realm were turned into mindless monsters that would fight for Skeetym. This event was known as The Skeeting.

During the war, Verayia would die, leading David to share her soul with their separate minds and remaining bodies.

The war would eventually end with David striking down Skeetym, sacrificing both of their status' as gods. For another few years, David would remain in the \_\_\_ Realm, however he eventually decided to leave for good, and returned to his travels across the realms.

### Sacred Realm

David quickly learned of the Sacred Realm, of which he entered. There, he would meet his true father, Daniel, and learn of the prophet. David would also learn of and meet Daniel-Daniel, the hand of the prophet. Due to the hand of the prophet's intense magic power, David would begin to mentor Daniel-Daniel, aswell as preventing him from leaving the Sacred Realm due to the danger of the other realms.

David himself would eventually be tethered to the Sacred Realm, due to the corruption of the Priest's soul, however the part of David that holds the Priest's soul wishes to break the seal.

## History

### Mortal Realm

David's childhood was spent in the Mortal Realm due to the previous soul banishment placed upon him by his father Leopold. Most details of his childhood are not known.

He apparently lived on a farm, and was treated differently due to being the only known monster to exist in the mortal realm. Early in life, he left his home to explore the world, and his magic became strong enough to leave the Mortal Realm entirely.

### Before *NEW WORLD 0:AURA*

David's travels brought him to the monster planet of Mikhairo, where he became acquainted with three monsters living on the planet- Verilyrra, Yrov, and Anagi. Due to David's status as holding a guardians soul, and his associations with the three, all of them were given the chance to watch over the Overworld beyond mortal limits.

During David's time in power, the city of Win City was constructed on Mikhairo, and the 5 Demigods were forged.

Later on, soon before the end of the Old World, David would incite the War of Ashes.

### During *NEW WORLD 0:AURA*

David's presence in *AURA* is minimal, but significant, as the one who began the war.

### Before *OLD WORLD 1:PRE*

After the end of the Old World, David would leave his life on Mikhairo behind, and return to his travels, winding up in the Sacred Realm.

With the introduction of Daniel-Daniel into David, Michael, and Leopold's lives, David assumed a role as Daniel-Daniel's mentor, sharing a similar deadly power with him.

## Abilities

### Natural Abilities

David Above has many natural abilities connected to his status as a half-angel, half-demon.

* Increased agility and strength
* Flight
* Able to crawl up walls with ease
* Able to unhinge jaw down neck

### Magic

David, being the son of the Prophet, has an intense knack for magical abilities.

#### Oblivion

David possesses an attunement known as 'oblivion'- a fancy way of saying extremely advanced telekinesis. He has the ability to shift almost any object in his vicinity mentally with ease, including objects that are far away, extremely heavy objects, or objects that are out of his sight. This power also extends to an ability of teleportation, and teleporting objects, aswell as bending them in certain ways, however these powers are somewhat weaker.

This power also allows for rather basic damage attacks, however what element they're truly based in isn't known. David also has the ability to summon mindless creatures using this attunement- however, this two are abilities shared by each attunement.

David may still use this telekinesis outside of the attunement, however more advanced powers such as teleportation are far weaker. He may not use Oblivion based attacks or summoning outside of this attunement.

Oblivion is David's easiest attunement to control.

His eyes and wings appear as a purple-pink-red-orange-yellow fade in this attunement.

#### Icefire

The icefire attunement is rather straightforward in its name- it allows GUARIDAN Daniel to control, summon, and conjure ice and fire. This ability also extends to warming or cooling things down, aswell as stranger forms of fire such as magma. While it isn't in the name, he also has control over stone and earth in this attunement. Outside of this attunement, David may still use fire and ice powers, however they are weakened, and he may not bend earth whatsoever.

David inherited this attunement from his mother.

Icefire is David's 2nd strongest attunement.

His eyes and wings appear a cold dark blue with a fiery orange glow on one side, and a dark dim red with an icy blue glow on the other.

#### Light-Shadow

Light-Shadow is also very straightforward in it's name- control over light and shadow. While much of this power comes through from rather anime-styled attacks and magic, this ability also allows for David to cast blessings and curses. He can not use this power at all outside of the attunement.

David inherited this attunement from his father.

Light-Shadow is David's hardest attunement to control.

His eyes and wings appear as staggered gold and purple in this attunement.

#### Lack-of-Attunement State

David possesses a 'lack-of-attunement' state, unlike most with magical powers. In this state, his magic is very much weak compared to using an attunement, however for basic tasks it is still viable.

His eyes and wings appear as a partially clear grey in this attunement.

### Non-inherent Magic

#### \_\_\_ God of Elementals

David, during his time as a god in the \_\_\_ Realm, possessed a special attunement given to him by his status as a god. It appears to have mirrored his icefire abilities somewhat, especially in appearance, as his eyes and jewelry ranged from frosty steel to fiery oranges. However, his power spanned through all four 'main' elements, making him the God of Elements, alongside Skeetanagi, God of Light, and Verilyrra, God of Darkness.

He had general control over earth, fire, water, and air, aswell as elements associated with the four. He also had the ability to conjured and warp the elements, and was able to create mindless creatures when he needed something done on a mortal scale.

This attunement was used perpetually throughout his entire reign as a god, and was lost when he descended.

#### Verai's Soul

The presence of Verai's soul in David's body allows him to use her former powers as the God of Darkness, as her death did not inflict any damage on her soul- thus she never descended or lost the power. This 'attunement' bleeds into David's current Light-Shadow attunement, allowing him both more control and more power within the element, however due to the strong presence of two souls within the attunement, his motives and actions are often muddled.
