Angel Cain
"Knightmare"
Name: Angel Lucas Cain
Nicknames: Angel, Cain (mostly), Asshat
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Actor/Actress Reece King
Affiliation: SHIELD
Personality: Angel is a very good tempered guy who is normally the type that people warm up to quite well. Whenever he meets someone knew he will most likely be friendly and open from the start: a quality that he received from his mother. He never really seemed to have many problems regarding other people's thoughts of him, nor never really seemed to let much get him down. He just always pushes right through it and keeps his positive outlook of things. Now, this isn't to say that he won't do what needs to be done whenever the situation arises. No, whenever he needs to get something done, he does it if he knows that it is the right thing to do.
Now, this quality of his personality wasn't something that he received. No, it was something that he taught to himself, something that was drilled into his thoughts over and over again, and on occasion, this part of him has had to show itself in the most dire of times. No, when times like these come, he seems to have no mercy, not real feeling anything depending on the situation.
This is a side of him that most people don't always like to see, a side of him that scares most. But it seems that the emotion is gone just as soon as it arrives, leaving him to be that kind person once again. Now, he can be quite mischievous at times, something that he received from his father. He'll be the one that sometimes likes to play the occasional prank whenever the mood needs lifting or the time is right, and often gets into trouble more often than not, though he doesn't exactly mean to. Angel's temper is something that makes him pretty noticeable, for he does not take kindly to any sort of threat to him or any loved one he has. If you dare to take a step in that direction than you better be careful, for he can be on you in a heartbeat. The only thing with this though is that despite the fact that his temper can be something to be feared, it can also be his weakness, for whenever he is angry, he normally doesn't think much before doing, so it's not a very loved part of his personality to him.
Appearance: Angel can be easily described as big and grumpy. Standing at a intimidating 6'2" and at a whopping 200 pounds this boy is pretty much a cruiserweight. He's has been training physically all his life, and it shows. While his muscles are not as pronounced as they should be, but it is obvious that the boy is in peak physical condition.
Thanks to the emergence of his powers, he has golden eyes that blend well with his dark black hair, rich caramel skin, and a face that grew to be classically handsome. His body is covered in various tattoos of various meanings, some tribal, for different organizations infiltrated and such. Angel has 15% of his torso covered in scarred tissue. Because of his ties to the Comando Vermelho he has a tattoo behind his ear and the La sangrienta rosa crime family have the two roses on his chest. Along with Los hombres de los muertos (the dead men) in between the roses. With terror inscribed on the side of his left hand, and there's plenty more, just too many to name.
The main thing people notice about him is he doesn't give the air of weakness. The boy looks tough as nails. It probably entirely boils down to his posture, the way he stands stiff like a soldier, or even his tendency to glare at people like they just insulted him. The is no one on Earth who moves quite like Angel. He has the sort of walk, and demeanor, that can be easily picked out whether he means for it to be that obvious or not. Because he worked through every fighting move until it was absolutely perfect when he was a child, Angel moves in a very cold and calculated fashion. Every movement he makes is with purpose.
Family Tree: Father- Angel Cain Sr.
Father Figure/Guardian- Abraham
Mother- Kairi Chanel Vasquez nee Knight
Ricardo Simone (ally); Simon King (ally/friend/protege), Vittoria Rodriguez (stalker, though its hard to tell who's stalking who)
History: About 18 years ago Angel Sr. known as the Eagle met the woman known as Liberty or Kairi Chanel Angelico while they where both on a terrorist bust in the military, and one thing led to another and they began flirting , it was a one night stand but Kairi immediately got pregnant, Kairi wanted to settle down and raise him as a normal family but Angel Sr. had other plans. They had to share custody so the time that Angel Jr. was with him he was put through strenuous tests. He wanted to train his son to become his successor earning his way into the military and begun his training at the age of 7 at first it was basic marksmanship and martial arts but as he grew older the training became rougher and rougher. Angel Sr. went as far as putting Angel Jr. through pure torture to test his skills. Though this made him stronger it also made Angel detest his father.
After his mother found out how much Angel was suffering she wanted to flee with him but he put her through legal charges and the judge decided they had to split up their parenting. 6 months of a year would Angel be with his mother and the other 6 months with his father. This led Angel to be conflicted as he wanted to leave but that meant his mother would be in serious legal trouble. He did love his mother unconditionally as she always took good care of him when his father was not around. She even instructed him in martial arts but not the same way his father did. He loved his mother deeply. Life went on and Angel soon found himself testing out of grades in school, managing to make his way into high school at the age of 13. Taking all of the Honors courses he could and even some of the more advanced pre-college courses Angel set himself on a path to not only graduate by 16. But then became a little too much, when he was 15 he went out with his father but told him that he wanted to wander alone and so he did leaving nothing but a note to his mother and a cold goodbye to his father. He then went out to find himself and ended up with the Wolves (a group of Ancient Hebrew Martial Artists) who trained him in their ways for 4 more years.
To remember those first four years was like remembering a dream. The unchanging towers of the hidden city of Judah rising up against the backdrop of the mighty mountain range of the before it. A vast chain of jagged peaks extending more than 4000 km within the Southern region of Israel. A legend, a story handed down from generation to generation. Once every four years for a single day the hidden realm of New Jerusalem aligns with Earth and co-exists in an inter-dimensional nexus. So perilously remote is it's location that one would have to know ahead of time of the shared site.
To this very day, he still couldn't figure out how he got into the mountains of another country far from his own. He remembers no plane, not even getting or even having a passport at the time. Just laying in a cave inside a mountain, with a fire in front of him, and a blanket wrapped around him. Which was when he met the Grandmaster. Ironically named Abraham, he was the last living progenitor of the original city, and the leader/king of this people. Abraham treated Angel as his own child, for he'd never had his own, and in four years he groomed that lonely child into a man. During those two years, something miraculous happened to him. His powers emerged during a training session with Abraham, along with a voice in his head, egging him on to do right, to keep pushing so he could return home and fight a war. It turned out that it was Steve Rogers speaking to him, and for a while when he felt the voice was useful, he adhered to it. Which was in the Land of the Wolves, whose powers were dormant until now. Abraham had him going through strenuous tests and at one point, his began defeating each task with more ease. He was lifting somethings he was pushed him to lift, taking his hits relatively better, simplifying the most ancient & complicated move that would require years to master. It was when they went out into the field where he realized the weaknesses in the durability he had, and how far his strength could actually exceed its limits. By 17, Angel finished his training in his new home. For to be a master combatant of Abir Qeseth and the heir to the throne of New Jerusalem, you must have mental and physical prowess greater than any. During his time with the Wolves of New Jerusalem, he'd gotten what would've been a college degree in psychology, and learned metallurgy from the blacksmiths who crafted the extraordinary sword he wields.
He stayed in the Land of The Wolves, expanding his already extensive knowledge in both physical and mental ways. He learned different fighting styles from an assortment of different masters in that land. He was given the title of Prince by Abraham, as he was now Abraham's only relative as his wife could not bare children and his only son had died, Angel was given his place.
When he was done, before he was able to take his role, fully devoting himself as the Prince of the Wolves of Jerusalem, he was a whole new person and came by his old parents house his father was furious. Angel fought his father and they where even for the most part but Angel managed to out-smart his father and won but feared what his father would do to him. He fled his father once again and went off the grid. He told Abraham that he was staying with his mother for a while before coming to fulfill his duties, taking a break to spend time with her.
After a year here, he was found by SHIELD after doing vigilante work there, they questioned him until they realized that he was here for peace. They eased up, offering him to be their official liaison for the Wolves and after discussing it with Abraham, he was allowed to take that duty while he took his time going through the city as a vigilante.
Super Powers: The Wolves' Eye: In the Words of Angel himself, "Its an eye. An actual eye on a gold link chain." The Wolves' Eye is a powerful and mystical red/gold amulet in the shape of a wolf's eye that gives the him superhuman capabilities.
Abilities that come with it: Before we get into the good stuff everyone wants to hear, one extra thing needs to be mentioned, Angel's eyes. A byproduct of wearing the eye for as long as he had changed his appearance sure he looks the same, but once you get close enough to see the nose ring he has you'll notice something else. His eyes. His peepers are an eerie gold tint, similar to a gold bar that flashes when he smiles or twinkles brightly in the sun.
Super Strength: As a part of his enhanced physiology, Angel is capable of lifting / pressing an average of 10-12 tons. This allows him to do things like, lift and throw cars, or even a semi. Under moments of great duress he can lift even more, but does not touch the level of the upper echelon of heroes. Through the use of his strength he has also been shown to be able to make great leaps through the air measuring four stories or more.
Durability: His skin and tissue is thicker and denser than normal granting him a limited version of invulnerability. Though he can still be considered to be a tank, Angel is capable of taking a beating and being able to stand his ground longer than most. Shoot him with a gun close range or high velocity bullets in the right spots, he'll go down just like anyone else. And, just because he can endure, doesn't mean it's not going to hurt like Satan's toenails. It just means it takes a little longer to beat him down.
Superhuman Speed: Angel can run and move at speeds beyond the peak of human potential, moving into the early levels of superhuman condition. He can keep up with most standard vehicles and cover a small area such as city blocks within a short period of time. He can run up to 40 miles per hour for longer periods of time.
Superhuman Reflexes and Agility: Angel's agility, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic gold medalist. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. His reaction time is superior to that of any Olympic athlete that has ever competed. His reflexes are so efficient that he can dodge bullets from machine guns and sniper rifles.
Superhuman Stamina: His stamina is likewise enhanced and Angel can exert himself at peak for an hour or two without needing any rest
Superhuman Healing: Angel's body heals faster than most humans and he is immune to all earthly diseases and most toxins. He can not get drunk or affected by drugs.
Superhuman Senses: His senses are at the peak of human potential.
Photographic Reflexes: Angel possesses photographic reflexes, something he has inherited from his mother. As a result, Angel is capable of perfectly duplicating any physical movement or action he sees with perfection after watching it only once.
COMBAT SPECIALIST: Compared to most of the monk's he's lived with, his personal style is very distinctive. Angel has mastered several fighting styles, specializing in ancient martial arts. His unique style is both unpredictable and dangerous. His unique fighting style is very acrobatic and heavily attack-oriented, primarily utilizing powerful sweeping kicks, aerial takedowns. More like Combat Parkour, though it involves elements of Abir Qeseth, Capoeira, Sambo, Savate, Western Boxing, Wing Chun, The Doimo Brawling Fighting Style, Escrima, and Ninjutsu can be seen most notably in his arsenal.
ACROBATICS: Angel is an accomplished acrobat with a skill relative to that of the most highly trained Olympic athletes. He is capable of exceptional feats of a balance, as well as a variety of feats. Most notably, he is capable of armed combat in varying degrees of motion and rotation.
STEALTH & ESCAPE: His situational awareness when it comes to his surroundings and the tools within the environment make him an exceptionally capable when it comes to the art of stealth. While he isn't capable of jumping into a shadow and vanishing from sight, he is more than capable in most situations. He is also quite capable when it comes to removing restraints, escaping from traps, etc. While by no means a master escapologist, he is more than proficient in situations where such skills are required.
HIGH INTELLECT/EIDETIC MEMORY: Angel has received excellent education from his school years and tutoring from the Wolves and his parents, and thus has extensive knowledge of various subjects, which include Science, Mathematics, Forensic Medicine, Criminology, Metallurgy and Psychology. He is fluent in several languages including Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, English, Spanish. And because he has Eidetic Memory along with Hyperthymesia, one of very few on the planet, which allows him to remember any detail of his life.
SINGER: Angel has the voice of an angel a great singing voice and when given enough drinks may sing a song or two. And seeing as he can't get drunk....you'll never hear him sing.
STICK FIGHTING: Angel uses to wield a ballistic staff that can transform into either a spear or trident. This allows him to quickly use both long range and close combat techniques. He is highly skilled in different forms of stick/staff fighting. Using his staff he's able to quickly take out multiple armed soldiers in mere seconds.
MUSCLE 'READING':Similar to reading body language, by using his senses and reflexes Angel is able to notice the subtle movements and twitches in people allowing him to better react and even 'predict' some attacks. This ability allows him to notice
Weaknesses: Senses: His enhanced senses make him more susceptible to strong impulses, he can be fazed by loud sounds or strong smells for example.
Sonic attacks: Because of his super hearing, Angel's ears are super sensitive to sonic attacks.
Rhyme N Reason: He is only capable of copying the styles of those who present some sort of rhyme and reason to their movements, combat stylings, etc. If there is a method to a person's movements, they can be copied. The more utilitarian, the better. The more chaotic, the more random a person's movements, combat stylings are, the harder it his for him to copy; this can even confuse him to the point of dulling his own senses and abilities.
Time: How long it takes him to absorb a new style is largely dependent on his exposure to it. This often leads to a defensive nature during first meetings. Depending on the complexity of an opponents movements, it can take mere minutes to that of hours to fully comprehend and put to memory.
Wounds: While it is difficult to actually cause Angel harm due to his durability and skill, it is far from impossible to actually do Angel's body some harm. Extensive physical attacks could easily take him out of commission if they go above the threshold of the durability. Because his durability doesn't protect him from any sort of attacks that involve piercing the skin, Angel could be just as easily affected as a baseline human being would be when it comes to being struck by claws, blades, or any sort of bullet.
Untrusting: He does not trust easily, and keeps his secrets, and the secrets he has been entrusted with, very well. He does not discuss information with others that he thinks they may not be privy to, nor does he think it his place to divulge the private information of others. He can be a very private and withdrawn man, but he does not let that stop him from being friendly or at least courteous with others. This can sometimes get in the way of his work when he doesn't share information as readily as his teammates might like.
Family: Another obvious weakness, his family are some of the only people whom he would truly give up everything for. Angel has a few close friends whom he would give everything up for as well, but it is only these select few whom he holds close to his heart. It is because of this that although they can be his greatest strength, they are also his greatest weakness as well.
Anger: One weakness which is slightly unique with Angel would be his anger. He isn't the kind to become some sort of murderous person the moment he is angered, but it is true that he angers rather easily, especially in tense situations. He knows how to hold his own and keep his cool, but there have been times where he has simply just...snapped. These moments aren't all too common though, and most likely won't happen all that much.

Alias: Soul
Roleplaying Sample: Angel was making himself comfortable. Living in a house from an ex-black market dealer turned spy could cause anyone to have slight troubles. The house was huge to say the least. Comprised of 3 wings and they referred to the first floor of the west wing is the “main living quarters,”with the main kitchen, family room, a movie theatre—which includes what was claimed to be a “fully operational concessions stand” once the house is completely unpacked and stocked—a “playroom,” filled with Ricardo’s collection of retro arcade games, and get this, a ballroom for throwing parties. The basement level of the house is actually a garage—with a car elevator that brings up to the driveway whatever of the half dozen cars the gentlemen feels like driving each day. The sight of which—the car collection—renews desire to show off, thought he normally stays low profile with his all black 1972 Chevelle SS. The east wing of the first floor is a private living area, with its own smaller kitchen and a few guest bedrooms—but he never got a tour of that and never really cared for it.
Angel's private area of the house. He had his own family room with a television, and there are five bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, but his looks out on the pool. It’s also decorated in mostly white furniture, with pops of teal in the plethora of throw pillows on the plush, tufted duvet of the canopy bed. More teal pillows crowd the white, tufted sofa.
Tonight he figured he'd go out for a few drinks. Dressed in an all black suit (also a gift from Ricardo, as Angel didn't wear monkey suits. Not even to funerals. The suits were what Ricardo classified as particular to his taste.) with a white tie. As he was getting dressed over his black t-shirt he put under it, Angel put on a bullet proof vest. It was for safe keeping, you never knew when someone would pull a gun, and even though he knew how to take someone down with getting shot...you can never be too careful. Once he slid his tie on and reached for the jacket there was a nice gift. Tailored to fit the suit was a shoulder holster to fit a gun concealed perfectly. With a slight smile Angel slipped it on, it wasn't too tight on his shoulders or biceps, it was a perfect fit.
There was a slight shuffle of noise coming from downstairs, and he brushed it off. "Maybe its just the window. " he said to himself. "It gets a little boring in a house this big all alone. "That's why I'd rather invite insects than people to live with me in the close proximity to the outskirts of the city." Though he went an protected Harlem, he could be stuck in a apartment and a loft wasn't anything he liked, so he asked Ricardo what he had, and he gave him, this .
He tried to tell him that the damn house was too big for one person. Of course the guy didn't listen, because he loved big houses, and said it would be easier for him to do his "kick-punch crime-fighting stuff" in private. He couldn't argue with that, and he wasn't that far from the city maybe a mile or two, but it was still good enough for him.
Which led him back to the kitchen, he decided to get a drink in before stepping out for the night. Grabbing his juice carton, sliding it to his countertop, grabbing his glass, and poured.
