## Appearance

Asiel has long, long silver/grey hair with bangs in front of their face, dark red eyes. septum piercing, ear piercings (two helix piercings & double lobe piercing on the right ear, and a single lobe piercing in the left ear)

Their typical fashion is very vintage professor, dark academia. There's altogether too much tweed and blazers for the average 16 year old. They have a leather satchel that they use to carry their schoolbooks and other instruments.

## Powers

### **Vitality Absorption**

As a non-living being, Asiel needs to get sustained energy to exist from somewhere. Typically, this is the ambient life energy of the world around them. But they know there’s only so much life force that they are able to manipulate at any one time. Too much has a risk of breaking them apart, causing the very fabric of their being to start to unravel, hastening their doom.

Asiel is able to connect to a person, so that they act as a sort of “battery”. This can Asiel from expending too much of their own energy; however, they would need to mark their victim with an alchemical symbol, which allows the energy to be freely siphoned.

### **Body Transmutation**

They are able to transmute their body into various substances with a fairly accurate degree of control. This can be changing the physical construction of their body (to metals or otherwise) or the shape of it--changing size, adjusting their limbs to more useful tools,

In theory, Asiel (or other alchemists) could transmute regular human's bodies too, however this has ethical considerations, as it can be quite difficult and expensive to change someone *back*.

### **Psychic Constructs**

As a studied alchemist, Asiel is able to use alchemy to transmute objects and create constructs out of essentially thin-air. Bigger & more powerful or complex constructs need both a lot of energy to make and a basis to be transmuted from, However smaller items can be transmuted from the molecules in the air. While they can give objects a type of simple “life” (ie: reviving a dead flower) they would not be able to create another sapient being, without a lot of time and access to their Sanctuary.

## Background

### Previous Life

Asiel was created by an alchemist, who left the Consortium after they refused to fund his research into an ancient alchemical society, Dinas Emrys. Using the lost texts he'd scrounged from around the globe, the alchemist spent years Asiel spent years as his assistant, learning the finer points of alchemy.

A few years ago, he mysteriously disappeared, and Asiel was placed with their parents, memories altered. While they have retained their alchemical knowledge, much of their memories of that time are fuzzy and half remembered, while their fake memories are clear.

### Pre-Big Team

Asiel grew up as a fairly normal kid. Adopted as a child, their parents were doting and protective. It suited Asiel just fine, as they were always a quiet and studious child, preferring to spend time in the company of books.

However, when working at Deja Brew, they opened the door to the stock room one day, and instead of being greeted with bags of coffee beans, they found a grand alchemical lab, stocked with books, strange relics, and alchemical instruments. This shocked the spell modifying their memories, and they realized their entire previous life was nothing but a lie. They had knowledge and power beyond their wildest imaginations....and the realization that they weren't truly human.
