FULL NAME: Asa'ells CODENAME: Azazel NICKNAMES: The Devil, Semihazah, Duma, Keriel, Mastema, Deliar, Gadreel, Beelzebub, Satan, Asiz, Asa'ells, Iblis or Eblis, Seth CURRENT AGE: unknown, estimated to be well over 100 (living as long as he has, he simply no longer cares what his age is) DATE OF BIRTH: unknown, believed to be shortly after the end of the American Civil War. MARITAL STATUS: Single SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual BASE OF OPERATIONS: La Isla des Demonas, Bermuda, and New York City TIME AT INSTITUTE: None REGISTERED WITH SHIELD? No HOMETOWN: A small unnamed town on the banks of the Tigris River in the area of the middle east currently the country of Iraq, and once know as Mesopotamia. A flash flood has since wiped out all traces of the town. KNOWN RELATIVES: Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) (son) Talia Wagner (Nocturne) (granddaughter) Nils Styger (Abyss) (son) Kiwi Black (son) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HEIGHT: 5'10" BUILD: 149#, slim and athletic EYES: Red iris with black sclera (brown in human form) HAIR: Grey DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Red skin, pointed ears, enlongated fang-like canine teeth, unusual eye color, prehensile devil tail, black fingernails and toenails. CLOTHING STYLE: wears immaculate three-piece suits either dark blue, grey or black in color, silk dress shirts that are either dark blue, black, maroon, or white in color and is always well-groomed in his human disguise. An expensive platinum watch sits on his left wrist. UNIFORM: wears a scale mail breatplate which covers his chest, back, the outside of his arms and the back of the hands. Also wears soft black leather pants tucked into knee-high leather boots. Often wears a black leather chest harness which holds the two short, curved swords he uses in combat on his back. POWERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Teleportation: Ability to instantaneously move himself, the clothes he is wearing, and an additional mass which is in contact with him, from one area to another. His has been shown to teleport at least four other people with him. He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension. When he disappears in teleporting, Azazel leaves behind a purpleish-black smoke with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone. This is a small portion of air from the Brimstone Dimension that escapes while the portal is open. His teleportation is accompanied by a 'bamf' sound which is imploding air rushing in to fill the vacuum left where Azazel's body was. Azazel's powers automatically displace liquids and gases when he arrives in his new location. Unlike his son Nightcrawler, Azazel's ability to teleport doesn't have a maximum range, and could even extend into other dimensions. Brimestone Dimensional Energy Manipulation: Has the ability to siphon off energy from the Brimestone Dimension for a variety of effects listed below. Immortality: through his own connection to the Brimestone Dimension, Azazel can siphon off the life-energy of those who also have a connection, namely those of his own lineage. This keeps him from aging, and if too much is taken, may even reverse his aging. He can also use this energy to heal himself, recovering from even near-fatal wounds. Paralyzing energy blast: can use the Brimstone Dimension's energy to generate devastating blasts of paralyzing energy. These blasts overload the target's nervous system in much the same way as a taser. It has an effective range of 50 feet. Will Bending: by tapping into the Brimestone Dimension's energy, he can influence the minds of those with a connection to the Brimestone Dimension. This makes them more susceptible to commands and suggestions given to them by Azazel. Limited Metamorph: can use the energy from the Brimestone Dimension to instantaneouly change his physical appearance from his normal devilish form to that of a normal human male. Prehensile Tail: can use his tail as a third hand. He can exert his full strength when using his tail, being able to lift up to 250# with it. Abilities: Azazel is a master of blade combat specializing in swords, daggers and knifes. Because of his long life, Azazel has also become fluent in a large number of languages which include Arabic, Greek, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian and English. He has also mastered a number of academic studies including history, literature, religion, economics and business as well as military studies. Strength Level: Has above average strength for someone of his height, weight, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. Is able to lift around 250# over his head. Equipment: Armored Uniform: The metal of the scale breastplate is able to deflect small arms fire as well as various slashing and puncture attacks. The leather parts of his uniform protect against slashing attacks, but little else. Twin curved swords: These steel swords have a gentle curve to them and an overall length of 36". [align=center] [/align]WEAKNESS: Despite how he presents himself, as either demon, devil, or fallen angel, Azazel is still just as susceptible to desease and injury as any human. He is also negatively affected by Angel's healing blood which causes his body to begin to breakdown. PERSONALITY In his human guise, Azazel presents himself as a suave, cultured gentleman. He's even cultivated a refined British accent as part of his disguise. In reality he is cunning, vengeful, ruthless, arrogant and most of all narcissistic much like The Devil he portrays himself. He is more than willing to use treachery and murder to obtain anything he feels is rightfully his. He actions are often sadistic and bloodthirsty when pursuing his own goals. The events of his childhood and what he's seen of humanity in his long life has given him a contempt of humans to the point of even disliking human-looking mutants. HISTORY: PRE-APOCALYPSE Azazel claims to be The Devil, one of the two hundred fallen angels cast out of Heaven for refusing to bow down before man. He also claims to be a demon sent from Hell to spread chaos, fear and death among mankind. But then he has also claimed to be a djin, a malevolent elemental spirit. Are any of these claims true? No. In reality, he is a long-lived mutant born in a small village on the Tigris river in what is now modern day Iraq. His physical mutation was immediately apparent. In order to protect her son, his mother kept him isolated from the rest of the village. Claiming that he was sensitive to the sun and especially vulnerable to diseases, his mother kept him covered in robes, hiding his features. This hardly kept him safe from his parents' ire though. Because they felt like pariahs in their own village, they focused their anger on him, abusing him both mentally and physically. When Azazel reached his early teens, he decided he had enough. Leaving his home, he headed to the village square. Once there he began taking off his clothes, and for the first time in his life proclaimed himself The Devil. As the stunned villagers watched, Azazel told them that his parents had been harboring The Devil all these years, and then revealed he was the cause of all the hardships, deseases, and deaths that had occured in the village in recent years. The stress from the certainty he'd be killed by the villagers caused his teleportation power to activate for the first time. Leaving his parents to the angry villagers, he teleported away and never looked back. Resolving to never be abused or used like that again, Azazel began his travels around Europe and the Middle East. Having the ability to go pretty much any where, he simply took what he wanted. Whether that be money, food, or whatever he felt he needed, he simply teleported into places and took it. Once he learned how to control his limited metamorph ability, Azazel went to various colleges and gained a diverse education. He mastered various areas of study including religion, business, literature and even matered the use of a sword. It was also during this time that he began stealing on commission and often killing for hire. While still in his mid-twenties, Azazel fathered his first child. Even though he didn't really care about the child or its mother he felt almost as if they had some sort of connection. He felt more healthy and alive than he had before. Unknown to him this was his life energy siphoning ability working for the first time. He continued to father more children over time, and each one made him feel healthier, younger almost. He continued to build up his wealth either by investing, or whatever mercenary work that would pay his exhorbitant fees. Finally deciding to settle somewhere, Azazel built a house on a small island near Bermuda called, 'La Isla des Demonas.' He felt the irony too much to resist. A little over thirty years ago, Azazel found himself visiting a business acquaintance named Christian Wagner in Germany. Baron Wagner introduced him to his wife Leni who was Mystique in disquise. Becoming intrigued by her, Azazel seduced her. Discovering he was to be father to another child, Azazel told Mystique to go back to her safe life and raise their child as the Baron's own. He was secretly devastated when he learned that Mystique had been killed by a mob and his son had disappeared. Yet another example of the intolerance of humans and why they should be ruled over by a mutant. Since that time, Azazel has kept his mind on his goals. He has also fathered other children in order to keep from aging any further. These children include Nils Styger and Kiwi Black, both of whom are powerful mutants. DURING APOCALYPSE (April 7th through April 12th, 2009) While he was extremely unhappy about Apocalypse attempting to take over the world he considered his property, Azazel decided to keep himself out of the larger conflict. He removed himself to his house in Bermuda, and kept a close eye on events. After all, why work so hard when someone else could do the work for you. Of course if any of Apocalypse's minions somehow found themselves in Bermuda, they were discovered slashed to pieces. POST-APOCALYPSE A little disappointed that Apocalypse had not destroyed more humans amd the goverments they had created, Azazel went back to work on his plans for gaining power. This included building up his fortune, aquiring contacts both in various governments and the business world, and even resorting to blackmail and murder to get what he wanted. PURIFIERS Unlike the events of Apocalypse, the Purifiers were humans attacking Azazel's fellow mutants. And if there was one thing he could not stand, it was murderous humans committing genocide in the name of God. From the Night of Broken Glass to the final attack by Nimrod and the Sentinals, he participated in most of the battles, including somehow being trapped by the Scarlet Witch's dome over Mutant Town. Because he preferred to keep a low profile at the time, Azazel managed to use his teleport ability and knowledge of combat to stay on the outskirts of the main battles and avoid notice. SKRULLS Hmmmph....yet another race thinking they can rule over mutants, and this one wasn't even human! The worst part of the entire invasion was many of Azazel's contacts in government and business positions turned out to be Skrulls. In order to protect his anonymity, any of his contacts that were revealed to be Skrulls were quickly eliminated by Azazel. The end result was the loss of a lot of his contacts, and frustration at having to cultivate new ones. CURRENT HISTORY Having to rebuild his network of contacts had Azazel feeling a little depressed and worn out. He wasn't quite sure how he was going to do it. It had taken almost twenty years to build up the last network before it was destroyed by the Skrull invasion. He of course had heard rumors about the Hellfire Club, and had even done some mercenary work for a couple members. It looked like the perfect solution to his problem. He would join the Hellfire Club, and in exchange for being ordered around by the higher ups, he would gain a lot of valuable contacts in both government and business. Azazel has since tried to gain the attention of some of the Inner Circle in order to gain access, and maybe a position. SAMPLE RP POST: BAMF! With a puff of purplish-black smoke and the smell of brimestone, Azazel teleported into his New York loft. It was large, taking up almost the entire sixth floor of the renovated warehouse it was in. It was decorated in a style that was sparse and modern with brick walls and hardwood floors throughout. He appeared standing behind the bar, wearing his grey three-piece suit and blue silk shirt. He quickly changed back into his normal devilish form, and sighed. It had been a long day. Using his tail, he grabbed a thirty year old bottle of scotch. He poured himself a glass and quickly downed it. He poured another and teleported to the couch in front of the large tv. He sat down and grabbing a tablet from the coffee table, turned on the tv. It was tuned to a news network, and they were showing the latest video from Spiral about that #KillYourHeroes nonsense. Each time he heard that woman talk, Azazel got a headache. She's not really a proper villain, he thought. She's just a psychopathic child. A..an..adolescent serial killer given a little power throwing a tantrum. He gave a little snort at the thought. Someone needs to teach that horrible little child what it means to be a proper villain. He took a sip from his glass while pondering the current state of villainy in the world. He was brought out of his reverie by the 'e' symbol flashing in the upper right of the tv screen, letting him know a new email had come in. Using the tablet he clicked on the symbol and the email opened on his tv screen. It was from his latest client, apparently unhappy about the way Azazel had handled the job. It read: 'Mr. Red, I sent you to retrieve an object, not take out half of the staff working there. Therefore I am withholding the remainder of your payment. Mr. Black' Growling as he read it, Azazel quickly wrote back: 'Senator- yes, I know who you really are. Payment shall be transfered into my account by eight am, or further negotiations shall become very unpleasant. Mr. Red' Who do these people think they are? Demanding things like that from me? He had half a mind to go visit the good senator now, and not wait for eight am to roll around. He sighed again. Oh, well, whatever. He was tired and wanted to go to bed. He walked into the bedroom, and after setting his glass down on the nightstand, began getting undressed. Without even getting under the covers, Azazel plopped down on the bed. He rolled over onto his stomach and thought of the things he needed to get down in the following weeks. While he knew where the Hellfire Club was in New York, he was pretty sure that location was just a front for what was really happening in their little club. Still he needed to find some way in with them. He lay there making his plans as he slowly fell asleep. |

Hello, Andy, thanks for taking the time to throw an app our way. First off, Kurt will need to stamp this in addition to the two normal staff members. First a poke before I'll give this an okay by Mystique. Azazel did not tell her to go back to her life for the child's system he one-hit-quit her and left them abandoned to whatever fate would give them. This is how we've established it for years and I'd like to keep it that way. The personality needs much more fleshing out. The History sections are very sparse, and while the additional, boardwide event sections are understandable, they need a bit more. But chiefest among these is the pre-history, the big chunk at the top. There is entirely too little for someone who's been around for 100 years or more. Skrull section needs addressing of the Complacency Wave, which you can find mention of and links to in the Board History. Again, as I'd said in the Private Message I (admittedly belated) I'm not terribly keen on having an Azazel on this site when I don't know the player and don't know if they're going to stick around a lot. |

I'm withdrawing this character application from consideration. My reasons for this are personal and have nothing to do with any lack of enthusiasm I have for the character. |
