Grand Seraphs

**Uriel** or **Seraphim Rugal Caelum**, simply called Seraphim by allies and friends, was a Seraph from the planet Inanis, specifically Caelum. He was born and raised to and by his parents, though had been living on Earth for 9 years after leaving his birthplace due to a civil war occurring. As the last patriarch of Caelum's royal family, Seraphim was the last King of Caelum of Virtue blood and was mostly seen as a failed monarch, mainly for his escaping of the world, but also for his actions in the past. He constantly suffered from PTSD due to the civil war and the many other atrocities he was coerced into doing earlier in life. The Seraph wasn't very sociable, but opened up and acted like a completely different person once he got to know someone properly.

## Appearance

Seraphim, like most Virtues, was incredibly pale with bushy off-white hair and golden eyes. Despite seeming slim and thin on the outside, the Virtue King was incredibly muscular and powerful with it, with these features amplified by the mechanical prosthetic of **Mythrix** which stood as his left arm.

Whilst transformed in **Sigillum**, his eyes turned a warmer Yellow and his body glowed. Whilst transformed in **Augmentum**, his body and eyes both glowed Blue instead. Whilst transformed in **Solutus**' first form, his eyes turned a vibrant Blue and his hair did so as well, with Mythrix also gaining Blue highlights. Whilst in Solutus' second form, the former changes occured as well as the sigil of Fortune forming on his back.

## Personality

Seraphim was a calm and collected person, only rarely showing a noticeable amount of emotion with close friends - such as Aoime or Okara. He was far more expressive on Caelum before the war, though his personality flipped completely during said conflict. Whilst in battle, he didn't take his opponents very seriously unless they were close enough to the Virtue's level. Though, if driven close enough to the brink of death, he completely disregarded any of his foes' wishes and instead allowed bloodlust and adrenaline to act on his behalf. During this short-lived mindset he did not hesitate to kill his foe if needed.

## Biography / Synopsis

Seraphim (also known as Uriel - will refer to him as such to avoid confusion with other terms) was born on Caelum 72 years prior to the current day. His mother was a low-class Virtue whilst his father was the first of the seven Seraphim. He was taught mostly everything he knew from his mother, however his father told him about the history of their race and more specifically their ancestor, Fortune. His incredible skills in the art of Ki forging were from his brother, whilst his half-sibling Lucifer refined said skills. Uriel became a member of the seven quite early in his life alongside Basileus (his brother) and was met with controversy due to his role. He carried out his duties as usual, though 8 years prior to his arrival on Earth a rebellion was on the horizon. Soon enough, a civil war broke out and Uriel helped his brother create the android known as "Model: Gamma" in order to counter a combative automaton made by the people who were against the rule of the Seraphim and were followers of Providence - known as the Dissenters. His father had established an inseparable bond between him and his son, practically forcing Uriel to rely on him for everything. Decades of manipulation lead to the second Seraphim essentially becoming a moving corpse for his father to control. He had some "issues" with the Dissenters, and used the bond they shared and his son's immeasurable power to enact what at its core was genocide. This broke the young Virtue, though he had no way to reject what he was doing. To make matters worse, his brother was also part of a large massacre nearing the end of the war. After the major conflict, which spanned across 8 years, was solved, Uriel went off world to try escape from everything and decided to reside within the closest planet with civilisation. This was coincidentally Earth, and he lived in a rundown apartment for roughly 4 years before meeting Aoime.

The two got along quite well - and quickly at that. After a few weeks of talking to each other, the Virtue built up the courage to confess his love for the android. It was mutual, and the two have been frequently visiting each other recently. After a month or two of bonding together, the two decided to head to Uriel's home planet. When they arrived at Caelum's capital, he noticed the drastic changes the city had dealt with since he left. The place was now rundown, yet the palace in the middle seemed untouched. With Aoime, the Virtue entered the palace. After a brief talk about their future, the two decided to head to the source of the only other presence in the building. On the top floor, he was faced with his father, who told his son about how he had killed off the rest of the seven on the planet and ruled over as Caelum's new - and first - king. This was the emotional catalyst needed for Uriel to break the Seal he had been bound by his entire life, unlocking Sigillum in an uncontrollable fit of rage as he murdered his father.

After managing to somewhat get over the events that had transpired, Uriel decided he was ready to ask Aoime for his hand in marriage. The other accepted, and the two eventually returned to Earth. After this, though, he unintentionally took a "break" of sorts from the relationship simply due to the two not having the time to see each other. With weeks apart from each other, they eventually met once again inside his gravity chamber where the two exchanged what they had learned over their time away.

Uriel and Aoime returned to the king's apartment, where he asked the android to come up to the rooftop. He had his suspicions for a long time, though he had finally come to a conclusion - his life was being cut short due to his heritage. He told Aoime this information, and the two conversed about Uriel making amends for what he'd done in the civil war.

## Abilities and Equipment

Ki Manipulation

Like any other fighter, Seraphim had ready access to Ki and could easily manipulate it for combat. This was usually done for blasts as well as empowering both of his weapons (Seraph's Respite and Mythrix), in conjunction with Mana of course.

Mana Manipulation

Likewise, Seraphim could also manipulate his Mana pools, similarly to any Seraph. With their unique ability of 'Soulbound Magic', he could also weaponise his very soul for battle, which made him a far deadlier threat though one who risked his life constantly.

Seraph's Respite and Mythrix

Two 'living weapons' used frequently by Seraphim for combat. Seraph's Respite, formerly known as 'Seraph's Edge', was the primary blade of the Virtue King. Formerly a gift from his father which served to turn the Prince's mana into a powerful energy blade which had a sort of 'whip mode', the Seraph's Respite would mutate alongside its host, taking on his negativity and malice, thus earning its title. With this change, the Seraph's Respite morphed to have four core modes in the "**Forge Primis**" ability, making it turn into the weapons Abbadon, Astaroth, Apollyon and Azazel. Each of these have a core element to them (*Earth, Wind, Fire and Lightning*)

When meeting and training under Seinaru, Seraphim was gifted a second weapon in the form of the Ego Weapon **Mythrix**, serving as his left arm in the place of his old, long-lost original. A weapon designed to capitalise on his abilities, Mythrix served to combine with the Seraph's Respite when needed as well as serve as three element appliers — Fire, which burns a magical flame, Lightning, which is... lightning, and Ice, which freezes with magical ice. This Ego Weapon holds an immense amount of fitting Ego and Pride, finding great joy in its nature as a god-made construct, though as a result having a brittle arrogance which suffers easily with insults and beratements from Seraphim. Regardless of this, it holds immense power and strength, making it optimal for the Seraph King to use during combat, namely against the likes of Meitokondri and her Niku-niku Ken. In the wake of Seraphim's death, Mythrix was inherited by Aoime — Seraphim believing his husband could use the weapon to much greater effect than his dying self.

## Transformations

Sigillum - 65x

The first transformation Seraphim could use, which multiplied his power level by sixty-five fold its base state. After undergoing immense psychological trauma at the hands of his own father, the Virtue King underwent a transformation into Sigillum which resulted in the death of the tyrant king as well as the slow-crept lunacy of the heir. Despite this, Seraphim had learnt to hold control of the transformation and had since 'mastered' its use for combat.

Augmentum - 325x

Similar circumstances led to his awakening of Augmentum, the next transformation which multiplied his power level by three hundred-and-twenty-five fold. When learning of his brother's demise, Seraphim returned to Caelum to hunt down the killer, finding the assassin rather quickly. Despite putting up a good fight, the Virtue King found difficulty in the battle and, in a moment of frustration and stress and the need for vengeance, awoke this transformation to achieve what was needed. Similarly he had good control of it, though it suffers high consequences.

Solutus - 550x & 650x

During training under the Angel Goddess Seinaru, Seraphim breached the limits of Augmentum and led to his crystallisation. Not wanting to lose or die with the life he had earnt however, the Seraph King breached his crystal prison and destined fate, awakening the true potential he held from his learning within. This led to the awakening of Solutus at its five hundred-and-fifty fold multiplier.

Not long after that followed the improved form of Solutus, where its true power was awoken. During battle against Meitokondri, both pushed to their limits and fighting functionally to their ends without knowing, Seraphim forced his power to its totality to ensure he could beat the Monoian Queen, making Solutus breach its own limit and go to the next stage, improving its multiplier by one hundred. This transformation was able to easily contest with and even batter the more capable Meitokondri, though found its limits as the woman's true potential and unlocking of her Reborn power occurred. Despite this, it allowed the Seraph to easily cleave through the landscape of Morus where they fought, even going so far as to unleash the power of Dorcha — previously sealed away by the power of the very Gods the pair of Inanians worshipped.
