Samael

**Samael** is a fallen angel that was expelled from Heaven as punishment for his refusal to bow down to Adam.

## Appearance

Samael was traditionally an amorphous mass of darkness; he would assume the guise of a light-skinned mestizo following an agreement with God to walk as humans do. His long hair is completely devoid of perceptible light, similar to a black hole, thus resembling a flowing river of darkness. His eyes are blood red, and they look narrow in shape.

Samael ordinarily wears a priest outfit, leather gloves, and a black-and-silver cross necklace.

## Personality

Samael is a cryptic person who shrouds himself in mystery, never revealing more than vague puzzle pieces that seldom show the whole picture. He often provides unclear advice to force deep contemplation from others, if even to actually help.

Of what can be put together, Samael's misanthropy is the most obvious; he repeatedly condemns the creation of man, going so far as to declare it the "one mistake made by God".

## Abilities

* **Divine Physiology**: As the Darkbringer, Samael is an unfathomably powerful angel with greater status than even the seraphim, rivaled only by his twin brother, Michael.
	+ **Darkness Manipulation**: Samael possesses the ability to create and manipulate a fount of eldritch darkness — a manifestation of the abyss that existed before the universe itself. It allowed him to project various attacks in physical or metaphysical form that were strong enough to gravely injure Michael. He was also capable of summoning his armies from the shadows cast by the angels opposing him, along with blanketing large areas in shade to blind opponents and disorient them, or using it to completely engulf enemies and render their powers inoperable.
	+ **Weather Manipulation**: Samael has summoned dark clouds on multiple occasions, and conducted a ceaseless cosmic storm that was virtually impassable by conventional means. He can also generate explosive, trajectory-changing lightning from the sky, which has shown to be capable of reducing celestial structures to rubble and people to black ash.
	+ **Dimensional Travel**: By phasing through or outright breaking the barriers that separate his multiverse’s realities, Samael is able to enter different dimensions – doing so rather casually and in quick succession. Some dimensions seem to be harder to enter than others, however.
	+ **Nigh-Omniscience**: Samael perceives time in a non-linear fashion – this means he sees the past, present and future simultaneously. He fully understands the workings of the universe and is aware of every being within it, alongside stating he knew all the details about a person's death.
	+ **Invulnerability**: Samael is unable to suffer harm from most physical or energy-based attacks, but he remains susceptible to magical ones that bypass his particular defenses. It is also noteworthy that his invulnerability only works when placed against those of inferior power, as those equal to or stronger than him can inflict damage.
		- **Psychic Immunity**: He has shown to be fully resistant to all psychic phenomena and can’t be moved with telekinetic abilities, mentally intercepted via telepathy, or mind controlled.
	+ **Amortality**: Samael is unable to truly die because he was never "alive" to begin with, and he does not require any form of sustenance such as oxygen or food.
	+ **Necromancy**: Samael was able to raise an innumerable amount of dead soldiers from the grave, even resurrecting a deity whom he subsequently killed multiples times before finally severing their head. He later requested advice from a deceased sultan named Selim.
	+ **Decay Inducement**: Samael engendered profound levels of decay within other angels and demons on several occasions, effectively killing otherwise imperishable beings.
