[//Personality
Raziel is a very upstanding and moral character, with a strong inherent sense of noblesse oblige; however, the conditions and situations he finds himself in (almost never of his own making) rarely lend themselves to unambiguous ethical judgments and he often ends up doing the wrong thing for the right reason. As a mortal man, he engaged in the systematic extermination of countless Vampires in his fanatical quest to rid the world of his perception of evil. As a Vampire he helped Kain establish his empire, under the controversial belief that Vampires deserved (as a higher form of life, and thusly "knowing better") to rule the world.

He became The Soul Reaver, the state he found himself in after being "betrayed" by Kain and his brethren, then "saved" by the Elder God, by being thrown into the Abyss, a swirling vortex of water. (Its depth is such that it could almost be described as endless although its exact depth is not known for sure.) he stalked Kain and massacred his former brethren, prevaricating that he was not only exacting vengeance, but just settling the balance of existence. He often finds himself the willing or unwilling pawn of those around him, for good or evil. His systemic redemption is found in his final act, one of self-sacrifice. This puts him in harmonic opposition to the character of Kain (though he sacrifices himself not only to escape his curse of infinite death/rebirth cycle or to help defeat "the true enemy", but also for Kain - to whom he pledges allegiance), whose behavior is characterised by viciousness, manipulation and the belief that every person and thing is utterly expendable, but whose actions generally turn out to be right, because he defies those around him, most of whom turn out to be directly or indirectly in league with evil.

Kain proudly admits his actions are motivated by lust for power and revenge (but he truly was predestined to become a tyrant, only in a quest for survival and because of Nupraptor's curse, at his birth), while Raziel unrelently claims his sole motivation is a desire to save the world and that he is solely guided by morals. Raziel unrelently switches from one master (often a manipulator) to another (Moebius and the Sarafan, Kain, the Elder God, Ariel, Janos Audron, Kain - again, Raziel is either being lied to or being told half-truths or what they think the truth is.), while Kain only follows orders when they suit him and never trusts anyone

[//Powers/Abilities
In his Human life, Raziel was known as a formidable Sarafan Warrior Inqusitor, second only to Malek the Paladin (who was Guardian of Conflict). His warrior skills were extremely developed, able to evenly fight vampires and rise through Sarafan ranks. In his final duel (against his future self) he showed extreme durability, agility and technique, but ultimately it was all for nothing against regenerating powers of Blood Reaver handled by Raziel. He didn't show any magical skills, so we can't be sure if he could use any sort of telekinesis or any magic at all. This is an even greater testament to his fighting prowess, having no need for magic against Vampires which possessed a whole variety of skills.

As a Vampire, Raziel became the strongest son of Kain, receiving the greatest portion of his Dark Gift. This made him the strongest vampire in Nosgoth, second only to his creator. He possessed typical traits of his kin - augmented speed, strength, agility and fast regeneration of wounds. As 1st Lieutenant of Kain he would enter a state of evolution right after his master, granting him new powers and making him stronger or "divine". It is unknown what other traits he received, but we know about the most famous one: wings, a very powerful gift.

When he became a Wraith, Raziel gained access to unique powers of the Spectral Realm. He became truly immortal, his Material Realm body was only a projection and his "death" in the Underworld was only temporary, he would form himself in the lair of Elder God or at beacon points. His thirst of blood was changed into a deeper need: hunger for souls. He needed to feed to gain strength and maintain his Material Realm manifestation unless the Wraith Blade was active to sustain him (during his SR1 adventures). In the Spectral Realm, he was regenerating on his own; devouring souls only sped up the process.

Despite his destroyed and skeletal body, Raziel retained his inhuman strength allowing him to easily move huge blocks or deal fatal blows with ease. With his agility and speed, he was even more dangerous than before. What was left of his wings allowed him to glide in the air, gaining him access to otherwise impenetrable areas.

Initially he retained some of his Vampire weaknesses, like vulnerability to water, but was able to overcome them by devouring the souls of his brothers:

- Melchiah's soul allowed him to phase through gates

- Zephon's soul let him scale walls

- Rahab's soul made Raziel invunerable to water allowing swimming

- Dumah's soul gave ability to constrict

- From the Tomb Guardian (not brother, to clarify) Raziel gained the Telekinetic force projectile relic which improved Raziel's telekinesis and gave him Reaver bolts

- Turel's souls further enhanced Raziel's telekinesis

Additionally Raziel possessed a powerful weapon called the Wraith Blade and found Glyphs.

The Wraith Blade on its own can be Material or Spectral, depending on the Realm which was actually visited by Raziel. This unique weapon was further enhanced in various Forges found in Raziel's journey with powers of Light, Dark, Fire, Air, Water, Earth and the most powerful one: Spirit.

Glyphs (not to be confused with Hylden Glyph Magic) were various runes, expanding Raziel's arsenal of spells:

- Shift Glyph is a basic Glyph of Raziel allowing him to Shift between Realms.

- Force Glyph allowed to send a quick telekinetic blast to hurt enemies.

- Stone Glyph summoned an earthquake to turn opponents to stone for a brief moment.

- Sound Glyph created a powerful sonic wave composed of specific frequency which could injure Vampires (Silenced Cathedral was built to play a sound wave throughout Nosgoth which would purge the Vampire race).

- Water Glyph, extremely dangerous to every Vampire apart from devolved Rahabim and Humans.

- Fire Glyph which burned enemies.

- Sunlight Glyph, the most powerful spell to use against a Vampire.

[//Background
Cynder was one of the last vampire children to be born before the curse. During the war, in desporation to protect their child, her parents put her into a deep slumber, only to awaken centuries later. Kain found her wondering a vast changed landscape, and took her in. She later found out that she was in fact a Pillar Guardian. She was also teated with great praise, for being one of the only two Ancient Vampires left in existence.

Great to have you here. I guess I'd better update the setting page.

No problem, my good comrade

Have you found the actual character creation pages yet? The one for the site as a whole, not for this group. Lol.

No I have not

Lol, it's a great way to help keep your characters organized.

Oh. I found it
