The sight of a hulking angel with wings is only a glimpse at a Archangel's true form, a shapeless one of pure destructive force, sent to vanquish enemies of God.
An archangel's apocalypse is feared in every realm that knows of it, and this is a tiny glimpse into its raw power. Though he is hard to look at, he burns with the raging inferno of the purging energy of the sun, flaming white coronae lashing out 20 feet into every direction from a nuclear-hot core
Vanquished foes from this power are burned with a holy fire, reducing them into a column of salt, as Sodom and Gomorrha was.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Location no further than 50 feet from you and in your line of sight. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form only. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. The area within 20 feet of the chosen Location immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Dexterity + Influence at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion. Finding a physical barrier to use as cover will cut total damage taken in half (applies after Reaction roll but before Armor).
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 20 feet of the chosen Location with Damage equal to your Outcome + 1. Armor is reduced to 1/2, rounded up against this damage.
For the next 3 Rounds following the initial blast, this Effect will deal a new blast of damage to any targets remaining within range of the chosen Location. The damage decays by 2 each Round.
Angels are fueled by faith and the blessed host, with an innate ability to heal much faster than a human.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive from a source other than Demonic (Christian Hell) heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every three days, starting once it becomes stabilized. Battle Scars caused by your Injuries are also healed when the Injuries that caused them regenerate.
At last, after much training, his primary wings are functional for flight.
Exert your Mind (unless Alternate Form) and spend a Free Action to activate.
You may levitate off the ground at three times your normal walking speed. The effect lasts for the next minute, though you may choose to end it at will.
Archangels have the ability to appear to distant mortals and relay messages.
Thanks to the harbingers and some.. clever interpretations, Chamael can appear to a target he is familiar with in a flash of white light, and deliver a message.
The closest analogy, is 'tapping' into the Angels existing abilities and network.
Though the sound the illusion makes is that of Chamael's tongue, it carries with it a temporary understanding of the words spoken. He can't pay good attention around his body while he's having a conversation with someone far away.
Spend an Action to activate. Select a target any distance away from you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location. This Effect cannot be used unless alternate form.
You may send a single message to your target. It cannot be longer or more complex than a couple short sentences.
The message will only be perceived by the intended recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.
This Gift's level is capped at 2 Gifts and cannot be increased further.
This is an alien blade, positively radiating an otherworldly aura of authority- similiar to the one used to banish Adam and Eve from Eden, and used to guard the tree of life.
When drawn, it the blade is engulfed in a heatless white flame (that's not 'holy', not exactly...)
You gain the following benefits as long as Archangel form and you are engaged in combat with Swords.
+2 dice to all rolls with Swords. You may Defend against firearm attacks from any range using Swords.
You also gain the following effects:
Cham's head will glow as regeneration is imminent, as a halo would.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.
If, while you are unconscious, your wound level rises above your rating in Body + Dex, or if you take an Injury with Severity greater than your rating in Dex, you die. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.
Chamael's head glows, ever so slightly. His halo pulses with light when it resists an effect or ability.
You gain the following benefits as long as Alternate Form is active.
You get +2 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:
Cham stares at the target, his eyes burdened, his arms limp at his sides.
He looks.. mortal.
His eyes glaze over, and blood drips from invisible wounds in his palms and ankles.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form.
Your target is marked with stigmata (Invisible spliritual wounds on the targets palms and ankles) until it is removed or until you choose to end the Effect. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.
You are aware of the marked target's direction and distance from you. You can have up to 3 marks active.
You may use any Awareness Powers on a marked target at any range.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
With his memory of thousands of battles, and creation itself beginning to return, he maintains the grace he had before-
Though he often just knows, subconsciously, how things will turn out as his omnipotency grows, enabling him to be in the right place at the right time.
You gain the following benefits as long as Alternate Form and you have your Wings.
Your Dexterity rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Dexterity (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).
If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.
You also gain the following effects:
Cham can recite a prayer in the angelic language, while focusing on a target within arms reach. As they perceive Cham's alien-sounding chitters and screeches, they gain the ability to speak it back to him.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form.
You may understand and communicate to humans and Sapient beings as if you are fluent in a relevant language for the next hour.
By reciting/ whispering an intricate prayer only known to Archangels, a book containing the sins of every creature on the planet appears in his hands, and magically flips to the page. Cham's eyes turn white, as he instantly relives the targets worst recent sins, and whether it was of free will. Unfortunately, the process is traumatic, usually leaving him rattled, at best as the book vanishes.
Exert your Mind and spend at least two Actions performing the following ritual: Its an intricate prayer in an angelic language not meant for human ears.. to activate. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. At the end of your investigation, roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6.
You learn all the following information about your target:
The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.
In a flash of bright white light, Chamael's wings regrow in the course of a second, billowing with pearly white feathers, and his body transforms with them into a glimpse of his true form- a 7ft Archangel bathed in light, with 12 ft open wingspan, (The Archangel Chamael) This power is temporary, and he relives his traumatic punishment when the power wears off- as his wings incinerate away, leaving bloody stumps. He reels from the loss, but has become accustomed to it- no longer rolling trauma every time.
Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action to activate.
You transform into a 12 foot, armor clad archangel with arching wings and a flaming sword that radiates destruction for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a 12 foot, armor clad archangel with arching wings and a flaming sword that radiates destruction, and you can use your equipment. The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately. While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2 and your Charisma is increased by 1.
You do not suffer any Penalty while in your Alternate Form.
While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: Archangel blade longsword, Silver version of leather armor (with the same armor rating 2), 3 clay pots of holy oil, 1 clay pot of holy water
While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.
You cannot speak any coherent verbal language while transformed and must resort to other means of communication.
Angels are untaintable by mortal means.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You get +2 dice to any Body resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:
Cham closes his eyes, says a short prayer, and unfolds and expands his omnipotency over the area, turning his head in directions as if he is looking at things, while his eyes glow white.
He will gain intimate knowledge of things in range as if he observed with the senses directly, but it's more accurate to say this power temporarily lifts a mortal limitation from him, unleashing his natural angelic knowledge.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless Alternate Form.
You may perceive things within 75 feet of you as though there were no walls or obstacles blocking your view for the next five minutes. You must maintain Concentration to keep up the effect.
Any Perception rolls made through obstacles are rolled at +1 Difficulty.
Charisma + Influence difficulty 7
Mind diff 6 to resist
Due to their ability to grant orders to mortals on behalf of the heavenly host, Chamael has the ability to issue simple commandments. When used outside of alternate form, a image of his alternate form shimmers over his body, wings outstretched, like a ghost-
A glimpse at his true self.
Exert your Mind (unless Alternate Form is Active) and spend at least one Action to activate. Select a number of Sapient targets equal to your Charisma at any range. Communicate a command to your targets. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6. The targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If the contested Outcome is positive, your targets will be compelled to follow your command to their best understanding of the letter and spirit of the command until they have completed it or for your Outcome in hours. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
They will be unaware that they are under any sort of compulsion until the effect wears off, but they will appear obviously mind-controlled the entire time to anyone observing them. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Commands can put the target into a potentially self-endangering scenario, including Combat, though you cannot force a target to directly attack themselves. Commands may force a target to violate one of their Limits, and they will need to make a Trauma roll once the suggestion wears off.
Angel sword go brrrr
This Artifact can be used as a sword / axe. It is roughly at least twice as large as a sword / axe and cannot be concealed on your person or disassembled for storage.
Attack by rolling Brawn + Melee, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal 7 Weapon Damage. The target's Armor is reduced to 1/2, rounded up against this damage.
You also gain the following effects:
Connor creates magical temporary tattoo paper that individuals can draw a picture on and enhance themselves with Conners brand new item for sale.

You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.
CODE OF HONOR: As a Archangel of War, Chamael acted as a General. His philosophy is a General is nothing without soldiers, but any soldier is disposable, and insurrection will not be tolerated. His #1 Priority is destroying true evil. Among humans, all sins are equal and will have their judgement, but the murderers of innocents should be destroyed first.
