☼ Sarathiel ☼

Sarathiel is a reaper in service of Honeydew Boarding School

## ***Personality***

A strict and straight forward individual, only breaking character in fashion or to satisfy some sort of mannerism when talking to respected people. Strenuous to read, and intimidating to most because of his intense atmosphere and looming physique. Some may call him rude for his verbal ignorance but in reality, he is only fixated on being blunt and couldn’t care less about sugarcoating his words to everyone he meets. Will always speak the truth if he chooses to speak.

## ***Backstory***

Sarathiel was a higher servant and  messenger of the Sun Seraph Sohoel. Though angels’ mindsets are structured to be less fulfilling of Venial sins, they are still competitive in the heavenly hierarchy when it comes down to those who nobly serve higher deities. At the cause of this, there is bound to be mishaps or meddling within the internal archangels and angels. Sarathiel is a well-known archangel who serves Sohoel, and so this banishment to Earth was the cause of a framed scandal by an unnamed who has no ability to coup de grâce. The Judges of Sarathiel’s case accusing  “Sarathiel having mortal affairs” sentenced him to indefinitely guide the new mortal realm that has been introduced to supernatural powers. One of the Judges included Tayen Takoda, the moon goddess, who was arguably the one with the most authoritative presence to officiate his sentence. They meet later on again in Honeydew as heads of the security team. Sarathiel still deeply admires her rambunctious yet respectable reputation while serving as a Judge, surprisingly. Though they know that he was not guilty, the sentence was upheld anyway due to the lack of evidence. They allowed him to have a fractionalized portion of his power, and ordered him to judge upon all creatures that misuse or abuse the gifts. Sarathiel was stripped of his full holy form, and wandered across the continent following the exact orders of the Judges. Eventually Sarathiel had wandered into the mass establishment of supernatural children known as Honeydew, planning to set stone there for a few decades or centuries as a head Reaper.

This is all according to Sarathiel himself.

## ***Powers***

**King of Salt**

(Main Ability)

Sarathiel utilizes salt where he can manipulate, shape, and conjure up this crystalized compound through nothingness. There is no real limit to this power besides his own exhaustion that is eventual when allowing this creation to form. Overall, he can fight battle offensively with a duration of 1 hour, with resting intervals being a quarter of the active time in order to restart at a complete default. The total volume of salt that can be controlled at a time (and not lay motionlessly dormant) is around 10,000 feet³. Wrath is unleashed upon all individuals who are not considered on the “path of redemption.” At Sarathiel’s weakened state, he needs almost all of his mental focus to keep up the constant manifestation. There are different forms to this creation of salt, the purification that erases heresy.

**Stabilized State**

(First Form)

A solid and dense state of grouped salt with a similar durability able to be referenced to iron alloys. Wherever there is non-living matter, Sarathiel is able to spawn or turn the object into salt, a form of deterioration. From here, he can create structures that are condensed enough to be compared to natural metals depending on how he controls the salt placed molecularly. The process of formation requires a loose state of manifestation (usually takes up to 4 seconds) before rapid compacting and shaping to his command. Stabilized State is capable of shifting into weaponry without special enhancements, large pillars or poles, lightweight projectiles, and other sudden retractable structures. When this power is active, the blessing symbol on the forehead glows and spawns his head crest (as shown in the picture below), a design formulated around his fragmented golden halo as a punishment of being bound to the mortal realm.

**Turbulent State**

(Second Form)

A fluid form of salt that has a similar density to heavy sand. This liquid-type configuration is the only one that can attach to his body because it is light enough to be lifted by him, a durability comparable to aluminum. However, the force and speed are faster, making it hard to avoid impact but easy to physically tear. This form has the most freedom in terms of mobility but also lacks severely in accuracy and aim. The control grows exponentially weaker as the radius around him distances outwards per 3 meters, starting with a negative 8 percentage.

**Prohibition Form**

(Final Form)

The ultimate upbringing of Sarathiel’s judgement. It is used as almost a final resort, but is much less overpowered and diluted for usage compared to subjects that share the same title. In Prohibition Form, his purification not only touches, but becomes seemingly one with him. The manipulative power stays surging and active in his body, allowing his whole body to act as a triggering pad for all that makes physical contact with him. Those who are unfortunate enough to be grasped by his entire hand or touch him for more than 6 seconds start crumbling into a solid salt statue. Basically, those same statues are a Stabilized Form he can mend or turn into the Turbulent State. It’s a clean and easy method when dealing with troublesome foes. His skin turns gray (as shown in the face claim) when this power activates, a byproduct of complete mortal cleansing. Such a power is available to him every half a day with a duration of 3 minutes, though it takes a long time to process. The purification can take up to 15 minutes for a fully harnessable “salt touch” to reach peak performance.

**Seraph of the Sun**

(Borrowed Blessing / Ability)

Sarathiel serves under a greater Sun Seraph, known as Sehoel, who has the affinity close to humanity's knowledge of the Sun, which is essentially light and heat formed by nuclear fusions. He is in no means considered a higher figure in the Heavenly Realm, and most of his powers aside from the initially basic gifted ability to manipulate salt and angelic normalities come from him. This includes his regenerative, somatically superhuman, enhanced complexity in forms, and other unique underlying capabilities that would’ve stayed dormant if not for this blessing. Those who follow Sehoel are able to incorporate heat into specialized powers. By rapidly heating his salt into a liquid and back to a solid, which is the highest temperature he can muster evenly with his salt, very smooth salt slabs are contrived. It’s a greater buff for durability (~38%) and overall offensive damage (~49%). The effectiveness’ extents are dependent on being exposed to the Sun’s energy, those rays being the greatest aid of increase.

**Thirst for Judgement**

(Passive)

A myriad of moths generated from the natural life essence on any planet with forms of intelligence. They are pure, and cannot be physically deteriorated by any means other than taints with a calamity force greater than Sarathiel’s devotion to purity. They can dissipate upon command. The moths guide him to where they feel waves of disturbances in natural order, sentient beings that face the same ideals of judgment as Sarathiel does. A yearn for help, sudden spikes in bloodlust, and even living or non-living core’s change in spiritual wavelength. They can act as eyes and paint pictures for him mentally, though unable to interact with the world physically (speech, touch, etc). There is really no limit for this creation as it is derived mostly from the world’s aether. Instead of searching for light, these contrived moths will search for the ill-intent whilst already sated with an abstract flame.

**Eyes of Veracity**

(Passive)

A clairvoyance and deciphering type ability. Sarathiel is simply able to see through facades of the mortal and annunciate the borderlines between truth and lies. This is due to visible souls and auras he can sense, partly being an Archangel who guides the no longer living. He has plenty of experience interacting with mortal beings and so is an expert in the intellectual and bodily structure of mankind.

**Covenant for Faith**

(Nature)

While having to perform tasks as a divine holy being (outside of the Heavenly Realm), his passive statistics are lowered compared to his full form as an Archangel. As of now, his endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy lie around only 8 times the average man without any supernatural aid, with observational skills being exempted to his normal form. A high deity such as himself (though not exceptionally high when it comes to Heaven’s hierarchy) has strong attachments with all creational matter in general, allowing flight with or without an appearance of wings (though it’s not as good with wings). His skin is very pale as he adapts to humanity’s biological mishaps, making him appear like clear porcelain since organs and blood do not flow in the body. Sarathiel does not feel pain unless the impact is directed in his internal sockets, forehead, or shoulder blades, where his nervous system is still intact for the growth of wings, etc. Regeneration is unchanged, although he can harness self-healing abilities using light energy. This is most effective under the Sun.

Sarathiel will act quickly and without hesitation when given reason or an assigned task to. With no strong emotional attachments to revoking humans or lives in general, he’s able to astutely carry out given motives. There are many obvious points of his angelic figure that places him in a far advantage of most beings. A few of those being supernatural reflexes, flight, brute energy levels, elemental affirmation and advantages, and the vast amount of experience. Basically born one with the righteous universe, wisdom plays a major part in his actions. Though far from clairvoyance, his deciphering and adjustment skills may be able to compete with that conveniency. His creation brought him to life as an initially formulated deity of recognizing what he’s destined to understand, not mentioning the eons of battling he’s participated in as a dutiful archangel should do. Such experiences could only sound for brilliant tactics he’s built upon himself and others he’s learned from. He is mature and discerns what he can and cannot intrude upon. Discombobulation is thrown completely out the window since accepting fate is one of the many conclusions possible when accounting mindsets, allowing Sarathiel to last in brawls as long as possible before becoming fallen.

His statistics grow as he reaches closer to the end of his sentence. The points listed above have been developed prematurely around 4 decades ago.

## ***Weaknesses***

Seldomly would one find a heavenly being in the same rankings as Sarathiel utterly unable to face confrontations because of frivolousness. However, there is a great deal of things to consider or diminish the light of to weaken such a spirit enough to deal the final blow and execute them. Aim for his vital areas, which includes his halo that is encased in the hardened salt framework, shoulder blades where his wings are destined to sprout, and the forehead where transactions of the Seraph of the Sun is most dependent on. His faith in his lords are also exploitable, as the same for his hatred towards the general populace of humanity. If you were to talk or mention about his history or graze upon unwanted subjects, Sarathiel is more likely to act internally impulsive. Best environmental conditions do not include dark or cloudy spaces.

Though even with these disadvantages presented, it is difficult to continuously wound him in these areas.

## ***Trivia***
