Background

Mark is a chaotic sort owned to his fall, which has hardened him in many ways. He was once very light, and gentle hearted, but trusts very few people now. Indeed Thane and Cirgoth are the only souls he truly trusts. He loaths dishonorable people, and has been known to kill people for having an utter lack of virtues, seeing such deeds as doing the world a favor. He tends to be self-righteous in the face of fools, and has no tolerance for traitors and sadistic bastards who like to make others suffer just to amuse themselves. He will protect anyone he believes is worthy if he
witnesses them being abused or harmed. Where such behavior once made him more divine, since his fall, it only corrupts him where it is his own will he serves now and not God's. His mind and heart is often filled with chaos and confusion now, his comrade Cirgoth often helping him through his pitfalls. His demeanor is as chaotic as his nature, and he can be blow hot and cold, from being disdainful to humorous, cold to kind, anti-social to friendly, all depending on whose presence he is in, and even his environment. He has an identical twin, angelican brother named Arkael, but some years after Marcania was cast down and fell to earth, his brother was cast down and 'leapt' to be reborn a child of crusader parents as Avery. He has no idea what has become of his twin brother of Virtues.

Marcania has since been through the ringer and come to discover things about himself which he is deeply ashamed of and is trying to find balance within himself and way forward past the terrible deeds he struggles to put behind him. Try as he might he finds it difficult to overcome the self-righteous side of his nature but knows should he fail in this his fall will be imminent. He fell into Acheron once but was shown mercy and granted a rare second chance. He knew he would not be given another chance to overcome his deeply flawed disposition. Having sensed his brother near he found him at last. It was his hope that with his brother's support he might become the Tsetar he truly strove against all his flaws to be.

Wings Almost Black

Advantages

Accelerated Knowledge: Marcania can learn twice as fast as others and in doing so learns everything at once but must have the energy to do so (The XP to level up all Powers at once. Cannot advance levels of Powers in any other way This comes from him being a sensitive medium of knowledge.)
His Angelic traits are mostly advantageous but can also cause problems.
Aspires to be Honorable
Is very loyal to those he takes under wing.

Disadvantages

Lacks Personal Confidence: though extremely confident in battle it is himself as a person he lacks confidence in. This çauses him social anxiety at times.
Martydom - Tsetar almost always a serve a higher purpose at a high price, and if not, they are hunted for slaves, or destruction by their enemies.
Divine Conflict - The Tarseran Angels and their Dark brethren are hunted by the Alamansen angels, wherefore the Alamascan pit themselves as the enemies of the Tarseran and Dark Angels. Until the Almascan cease in
their ordained crusade, there shall be no peace between them. Dark Powers -
Dark powers do Angels double damage.
WoD-Way of Death-Utter Destruction and imprisonment with no fresh air or light. 3 resurrections from final death allowed. All other deaths transient-with free resurrections. Each resurrection from true way of death becomes more and more difficult.
