Engelicus

Engelicus, Former Law Bringer of the Origenians

Description
This man is tall. He's a good seven feet, and he looks to be quite muscular. That's a guess though, as he's wearing some ornate plate mail armor with sizeable shoulder plates. He's bald and clean-shaven, with a square jaw that makes him look deadly serious. His skintone is dusky, like he's from a Mediterranean country or the Middle East.

The armor he's wearing is a shiny silver, with gold inlaid in detailed patterns of symbols that are unknown to most. Those who are familiar with such can recognize it as Enochian, or a derivative of such.

Origin
Engelicus is one of the Godflora, from the Bloodlift species known as the Origenians. Their roles in Bloodlit society is that of arbiters, and Engelicus was no exception. He was trained at a young age to be one of their Law Bringers, one of Origen's justice system. The Law Bringers are judge and jury for all infractions. No trial is needed. Instead, a judgement is ruled on site, and a punishment decided upon.

All of his training with his race's natural soulfire abilities has been towards that end, to allow him to capture criminals and burn away the illusions that might hide those who require justice to be served upon them.

Origenians have been to Earth previously, and mistaken for angels. In fact...the language known as Enochian is strongly related to Origenian, and nearly identical.

Powers
Engelicus's powers stem from two things. The first, is that he is a member of one of the Bloodlit (Godfloran) species. He is specifically an Origenian, all of whom live long lives, and are highly resistant to the elements. They can also fly, as the first application of the ability to control soulfire.

Engelicus's training has specialized this ability to control soulfire, allowing him to sear the soul of a target or burn away illusions. This does require actual regular targeting, which is why it hits the mind and soul...but requires Engelicus to hit his target normally.

Lastly, as part of his training as a Law Bringer, he learned how to detect spoken falsehoods by listening to the soul. Note...this does not work against those who believe the words they speak. It only detects outright lies. With discriminatory and analyze, he would probably also get whether or not something is a partial truth or a 'white lie'.

Personality
Engelicus is a Law Bringer who was exiled for being overly harsh toward criminals. As a result, he is what one might expect in an overzealous law officer, somewhat akin to the Judges of the 2000AD comics. (Judge Dredd, et al). He never forgets a crime. He never forgets a slight. He remembers everything and catalogs it as evidence to build into a case against suspects. He's a stickler for following the law. And...yet he is also quick to defend his honor.

This exile is meant to be a learning experience for him, even if he does not realize it yet. The Origenians may take him back, should he learn the correct lessons of humility and mercy in his travels. His Hero's Journey has just started.

Relations
None as of yet in the city, but he does have connections with the other Godflora in the city, as he's an Origenian: One of the 12 Bloodlit races.

History
Engelicus grew up, training entirely to become a Law Bringer. And he was good at his job. Zealous. Overbearing. And a stickler for following the rules. Over time, his adherence to the law only became stronger and harsher. It finally came to a head when he ended up punishing someone severely for stealing, when it was just a matter of someone poor needing something to eat. That was the last straw. The powers-that-be, the leaders of the Law Bringers, decided that Engelicus needed to learn some important lessons. He needed to learn humility. Compassion. Empathy. Rather than merely focusing on the letter of the law, a Law Bringer needed to use their judgement about what is a truly just punishment.

Thus he was exiled to Earth, and sent in a pod which allowed for him to learn the language of wherever he landed. In this case, it was Colonial Bay, so he learned English. Additionally, some of his soulfire powers have been cut off from him with a mental block. He will gain access to them again over time, as he simultaneously learns humility and empathy.
