Boogeyman

**Vangelis**, also known as the **Boogeyman** is a Fallen Angel that resides in an alternate reality and watches over the children.

# Appearance

The Boogeyman is a tall young man of slender build. He has a pale complexion, to the point it looks almost like a corpse. He has long, black hair that goes beyond his shoulders, and wears piercings in his ears. He wears a black, hooded cloak, and a skull for a mask, which contains horns and sharp teeth and blocks sight of his eyes. He wears normal black boots, and his fingernails are painted black. He has no eyes, instead they are empty sockets with nothing but darkness in them.

# Personality

The Boogeyman, despite his appearance, is actually a gentle and caring being. He is polite, patient, tolerant and very playful. He has a very soft spot for children, whom he watches over and cheers up in secret. He has shown to be very protective of all children, treating them as his own, and going as far as to taking them away from their families in hopes of keeping them safe. It is very hard to anger him. No one has seen him angry, or been curious enough to provoke him.

# History

The Boogeyman's earliest memories are of him waking up surrounded by others of his kind, remembering that he was a Fallen Angel, and that his duty was to cleanse humanity of sins by any means, by that time going by the name Vangelis. He worked with other Fallen Angels, doing as told, but the more time passed, the more he and everyone around him realized that he wasn't up to the task. He was against the harsh way the Fallen Angels cleansed the humans of sin, and was more forgiving and lenient than his counterparts, instead opting for much slower and not as accurate approaches.

It all came ahead when he was tasked to cleanse a child from sins, where he saw the child's current state, past, and the sins he had committed due to his cruel upbringing. His heart broke for the child, and only to be able to free him from the painful memories, did he rewrite his memories in order to save him from them. From that day forth he decided that he would do his own version of justice, by watching, protecting, and helping all the children he could, in hopes that they wouldn't commit sins as they grew older. He separated from the Fallen Angels, retreating to a place of his own as he began to watch over the children. After many years, his appearance in children's rooms and homes developed into the myth of the Boogeyman, to which he took it as a badge of pride. The Boogeyman would take bad children away, but not to harm them, but to save them.
