## Powers

* **Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:**Angels primary power is a slow burn manipulation of his victims self perception, inducing a state of manic body dysmorphia. It manifests inspired by his love of Picasso with his victims starting to see themselves warped in mirrors and reflected surfaces, although to everyone else around them they appear fine, glowing even. Symptoms increase over time, ultimately leading victims to take drastic measures to 'fix' their perceived faults.
* **Bit not right:** As with most associated with The Unknown, Angel radiates a passive aura which can induce unease and confusion especially to those in a fragile mental state. This aura is amplified by his own emotions, but cannot be weaponised.
* **Bend and snap:** Angels lower arms are those of his wives, Carla's, and because of their attachment placement it means he had full 360 rotation in the joint. Although the limbs do not abide by what is normal, they are still flesh and they cannot be comfortably removed without damage to the rest of his body.

## Backstory

Angel Ruiz, Born 1982 was raised by a wealthy family in south London to his mother and father and live in grandparents. He wanted for not as a child and was extensively spoiled, his parents enabling to try out a variety of interests and activities but always with the understanding that his role in society would be to grow up wealthy and 'carry on the family name'. As a child he had a strong interest in art, becoming very interested in surrealism work, specifically that of Pablo Picasso. This interest slowly manifested into a heavier interest in one's perception of self, although at the time he didn't have a full understanding to put his interests into words, resulting in him spending a lot of time looking at himself in the mirror or studying photo's of faces and different cultures ideals of beauty and ugliness.

At 18 he met Carla Avène, the daughter of a business partner of his fathers. The two become close quickly and started dating by the time Angel was 19.

He attended an all boys private school in his youth before attending Cambridge university to study medicine with a focus on becoming a plastic surgeon.

While there he met Frederick Chapman in his first year, and after what he perceived as a rude first meeting he took an instant dislike to the other, going forwards to extensively bully the other for the remainder of their education.

Throughout his time progressing in his studies Angels interest in the human form developed deeper, ultimately leading him to becoming entangled in the unknown and inadvertently becoming a servant to the entity, although he showed strong reluctance towards ascension or putting himself in too much danger regarding his devotion to his fear.

After finishing his studies he opened up his own practice on regents street, the building doubling as his home. Despite Angels inclination towards mangling his clients, he was skilled enough at his job that he quickly became well known in his field and is now regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in London with a specialization on facial reconstruction and cosmetic work.

Although he and Carla had a strong, loving relationship over the years, as time passed his beloved wife started to stray further from her own inclination towards the stranger and began worshipping viscera which caused a lot of contention between the two. The birth of their daughter, Lillian, put an end to this fighting for some time but ultimately it started up again until one night it reached it's peak and in a fit of violence, Angel chopped off Carla's arms in self-defence while she managed to remove his left eye. The heightened emotions enabled Angel to attach her arms to his own damaged pair with the help of the strangers powers, and a substantial monetary payment enabled him to receive a new eye to fix the one that was taken from him.

After their fight Carla died and ascended, becoming an avatar to the flesh and a pain in Angels side, forever angry over what he took from her and doing what she can to make his life troublesome.

Currently, Angel works full time as a plastic surgeon, caring for his young daughter Lillian. He has recently started dating Otto after arranging to meet him from the group chat. Angel struggles to interact with other avatars, coming off as rude an abrasive, having low empathy for others situations and often times causing contention within the group chat by his mere existence, although as of late he has been trying to make somewhat of a step in self improvement, spurred on by Otto's positive influence.
