Laurent, Raphael
[ AT A GLANCE ]
Age / Apparent Age: Approximately twenty six years and four months/Twenty six years
Gender: Male
Height & Weight: 5’11”, and weighting in at approximately 180 pounds
Hair & Eye Color: Raph’s hair is only about shoulder length and a little shaggy, and is a chestnut brown in color while his eyes are a deep green.
Positive Traits:
Protective: Of all things Raph is very concerned about friends and family and often goes out of his way to make certain that they’re safe. Nor will he hesitate to kill an adversary if they threaten his family or friends.
Loyal: Somewhat in line with protective, his loyalty to friends and family is unwavering and he will do just about anything for them, at least within reason.
Generous: As purposeless as Raph is, he gives of just about anything he has, which now all he really has is time.
Honest: The most important thing to Raphael is the truth, no matter how painful it is. He will do his best to remain honest with anyone, especially himself, though this is by far the more difficult thing to do.
Negative Traits:
Cautious: Raph is not one to take risks without thinking about the consequences though this has the unfortunate side effect of making him overthink and take fewer risks.
Pragmatic: Ideals are a wonderful thing, but Raphael is far more dedicated to the practical sides of a plan than the theory behind it. As he likes to say, shoot first and ask questions later.
Rough: Mannerisms aren’t exactly his thing, he’s not the most eloquent nor is he likely to behave rather well at a gala…which is why he doesn’t tend to go to them.
Blunt: Raph’s honesty is offset by his bluntness, as he rarely tries to beat around the bush, regardless of how awful the news he has to give.
Loyalties: Of all things Raph is fiercely independent, though he once answered to the group that was called Vigilance. With the collapse of the funded institution, loss of his quincy powers and return to normal human abilities, he has taken to wandering Europe as something of a vagrant.

[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description: Standing at a rather modest five feet nine inches tall, Raphael is not what anyone would describe as intimidating, nor does he command authority. In fact, Raphael is incredibly common with unkempt brown hair and now sporting a small beard. His clothes, unfortunately, have mostly gone to tatters, the simple problem of being homeless. He still stands, amazingly, as straight and tall as he always has, as though he was still living a normal life in a normal apartment. Due to his current living arrangements, he showers when and where he can, normally in public swimming pools when no one is around. His voice is in the range of a tenor, though he can drop into the baritone range, should he feel the need to do so.
Spiritual Description:Raphael’s spiritual pressure feels odd, like a swirling storm filled with confusion and anger. It isn’t heavy and often gives those that feel it, as though they’ve gone through a small rain storm.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality:Raph is a bit off, despite everything that has happened to him, near death, death of friends, disappearance of other friends, traumatic soul shock, Raph is still fairly up beat and optimistic. Though, he does still bare some distrust towards Shinigami, this has lessened somewhat, and he now not only tolerates their existence but seeks to work with them on good terms, should he run into them. Hollows and arrancars worry him to a great degree, and he doesn’t like them and does his best to either avoid, chase off or, in the worst case scenario, kill. On a human to human basis, Raphael keeps his interactions to a minimum when he can but if he can’t then he’ll do his best until can leave the area. Quincy, on the other hand, are the group that Raph has been trying to get to know better, though this might be because he is the son of two.
Goals & Achievements: Once upon a time, Raph had been a member Vigilance, a UN funded Organization, but now wishes only to see how far he can push himself and wants to keep as many people safe as possible.
[ Strength of Man ]
Weapon of Choice: Raph makes just about any weapon out of concrete, steel, anything he can find nor does he have a particular weapon that he favors. He will make anything and everything as the situation calls for it.
Power: Telekinesis, the ability to move and/or alter objects with one’s mind. Unlike much of his skill, his ability with telekinesis has only slightly diminished and is still one of the most dangerous abilities in his arsenal.
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin: Raphael was born on November 15, 1988 to the Quincy Jennifer Laurent and Wolfgang of the Von Wolfenstein clan. A few weeks later Jennifer married an American Quincy by the name of Marcus Borgee to whom Raphael’s younger step-brother, Brian Borgee, was born to years later. For the earliest part of their lives, Raphael protected Brian as the two went to school and under went intense physical training under their mother. Brian’s abilities as a Quincy grew and unbeknown to Raphael he began to hunt hollows, but Raphael failed to develop these same powers and was treated harshly by his mother.
Rise to Power: Raph’s powers would surface when he turned eighteen while saving his brother from a surprise hollow attack. Not long after, he met the man known as Adimus and, with the help of the Quincy Weylin and fellow spiritualist Yamane, Kohaku, formed Vigilance. Unfortunately this new home and family slowly fell apart as its leadership disappeared one by one. His home was destroyed during a panic attack in which his powers went haywire leading to the death of one of his best friends.
As he grew, so did his powers, until one day when he was kidnapped and experimented on by his mother, where he was turned into a quincy. But after some time, Raphael became disillusioned and jealous of his friends almost all of whom had obtained a new power. Utilizing old scientific equipment, he created a proto-hollow like creature that nearly killed him, but was saved by an odd man, and the timely intervention of Adimus the Hero of Midgard.
Call to Action: The near destruction of his soul and then subsequent healing cost him the quincy powers that he had just recently acquired. The spiritual trauma that took place reawakened his telekinetic abilities, but has caused further mutations as well. Unfortunately, when he was returned to Chicago he realized that his old home, as well as the home of his mother had both been destroyed. He no longer had any home to go back to, he was completely and utterly homeless. His thoughts and dreams were plagued with the visions of friends lost, people killed and all the failures; it was during this time that Raphael turned to the underground to deal with his problems. A special drug, of his own concoction, repressed his power at the benefit of getting rid of the memories.
The dealer was quick to bring Raph into the fold, having him make many drugs several times more potent than they already were. Though police raids were successful in getting many of his drug-addled concoctions off of the streets, none ever realized that the strung out homeless man was the chemist. This went on for quite a while until one day when Raphael’s drug ran out. In his lucid state, he began to experience the memories again. In this state he couldn’t bring himself to inject himself with the drug, The thoughts of everything that he’d accomplished, the friends that he’d made and how far he’d come stayed his hand. He knew he’d been out of the game for far too long; the evils of the world hadn’t been sitting around and who knew what had happened to those that he loved? It was time to start again, and these drugs were about the best place. He was back, and he was going to make sure that the city knew it.
