## Character

### **Personality**

Despite being arguably one of the strongest people on the server, Angel is a relatively passive person. He never goes out of his way to fight others on quests. However, Angel has a sense of justice, only getting involved if he is attacked first or feels as if someone needs to be put in their place. Angel is a sultry, pugnacious, fierce and passionate teenager with a powerful aura. He truly has a boundless dedication to whatever he does, and though he is a massive killjoy at most times, possibly because of his precocious maturity having grown up much too early, he can take a joke. He is honest to a fault, always ready to make sure he communicates exactly what he thinks and feels. But this can result in him voicing some difficult truths, resulting in his rather poor reputation. Angel doesn't take disrespect lightly, and does have some cruel mannerisms whenever he is faced with it. His wrath is a storm not many can prepare for. Many people tend to distance themselves from him in fear of his sharp tongue, a weapon many have come to fear. But Angel is still quite affable given the chance.

Though he isn't as mirthful as he was when he was younger, he still sees the opportunity to befriend people around him as a chance to expand his relationships. He has a tendency to take everything seriously, and has a tough competitiveness that blinds him whenever he participates in extreme competition. In his mind, he needs to prove himself, make everyone see he is worthy. Defeat can completely shatter his thin veneer of patience, politeness and posture. He fights for what he wants, and knows how to keep them close. Angel can sometimes come off as reasonably apathetic and jaded, preferring to stick to his own mild misadventures than put his entire body in danger. Participating in risk alongside him will probably get you nothing but a shouting, swearing and shrieking kid listing all the possible ways this could go wrong. In the midst of a well-established conflict or battle, however, Angel tends to take an offensive position, opting to hurt someone immediately rather than talking things out. Angel is known to often ramble on and on about space, something he loves and has a small crush on Kayden Amador, his best friend. All in all, Angel is an interesting person

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Hine-Nui-Te-Pō (Mother)

Angel still has a hatred for her mother, who possibly inflicted his entire family's abrupt death all on her own, being the goddess of death in Maori myths. But he still has some hope in his last-remaining relative to assist him through her life - after all, she *is* his last-living relative, who will live longer than he will. Angel does still partly resent her, however. And it's possible Hine is aware of that, and seems slightly apologetic of how she's possibly treated Angel's family as pawn's for her son's growth. And for that, Angel can forgive.

#### Evangel (Father)

Angel's relationship with his father isn't very well-starred. He regrets having not helped his father through his time of grief, trying to take care of his and work at the same time. He understood him in a way not many people could. But after his death only did he realize how much she could've done to prevent his own possibly self-inflicted death. For this, he slightly resents him for.

* Angel constantly uses the phrases "ka waiho e ahau o niho hei whakakai" ("I will use your teeth for earrings") "tena koe" ("you're welcome"), "kati tou mangai i mua i te turakitanga o te wheua" ("shut your mouth before I shove a stick down it") and "kihi taku kaihe" ("kiss my ass") just because he can.
* He knows some traditional Maori dances, and sometimes conflates these with modern dancing.
* Whenever he is stressed, angry or sad, Angel will immediately change languages from English to rapid-fire Maori. He can hold an argument for hours in this language, since nobody knows how to calm him down other than other Maori-speaking people.
