Description

'Nother reference sheet, unshaded again. This is Abaddon's brother, Uriel.

I'm quite happy with it, given how pompous he looks. I think I toned it down a little to the degree where he's believable enough for a person who made up his costume from scraps of his closet, haha.

Yeah and since this is his first appearance, I've had to complete his little bio.

Full View please; it's huge but worth it.

------

Name: Uriel

Real name: Gabriel 'Gabe' Rivven

Age: 17

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Height: 5' 10"

Alignment: Hero/Vigilante.

Team: Nightwatch (acts as leader after Abaddon's resignation)

Relatives: Michael Rivven aka Archangel (father), Jessica Willows-Rivven (mother), Ryan J. Gaven (half brother)

Relationships: Single, at the moment.

Items/Weapons: Hi-tech rapier blade used for combat made of high-rate stainless steel; mini radio device that fits in his ear.

Powers/Abilities: Gabriel is gifted with natural wings for powered flight and is able to retract them into his back at will. His wings are pearly white and feathery, with an impressive wing-span of 2.5 m. each, and a total of 5 m. (8' 10" and 16' 4"). A highly skilled and speedy flier, with physiological adaptations for his ability: his bones are semi-hollow, lightweight and extremely tough, while his lungs are developed to allow him to breathe in high altitudes, even where oxygen is thinner.

He is also capable of producing an unidentified form of bio-energy which functions like an aura, a latent shield that lessens the damage from impacts and friction. It also has a minor searing effect which he can control, to stun enemies. He is able to charge metal with the aura to an extent.

Gabriel is a top-tier fencer and isn't afraid to apply his skills in combat, incapacitating and disarming criminals with a few swift strikes of the blade. He's been trying to pick up some of his brother's hand-to-hand combat skills, but he's still a bit lacking.

Weaknesses: His wings. They're sensitive to cold and any attack on them. Although strong and durable, they are still as prone to damage from powerful winds or impact as the wings of a bird. He's fickle about people touching them because any damage done could be permanent and impair his flight skills.

The aura he produces cannot affect soft metals like copper, lead and gold.

Somewhat less experienced in combat than Ryan, and doesn't fare so well against the pure brutal combat that his brother can cope with.

Significant body markings : When he needs to get into his costumed self, his wings expand from his back in full view; they're large, feather and pearly white and the aura makes them glow a bit...earning awkward attention.

Personality: Gabriel is an overall nice kind of person that people feel easy to depend on and trust. He's humorous and oftentimes downright snarky, when he turns into a harsh critic who isn't afraid to voice his dissatisfaction with something or someone. He is a little sensitive and easily-offended where his brother is concerned; he's very attached to Ryan and it shows, as the siblings are very close. He's open-minded, likes making new friends and hates hypocrisy, bullies and underhanded schemes. He's very stubborn, emotional and lets his emotions drive him more than his head sometimes, getting carried away and acting on impulse more than thought before his brother kicks in and puts him back in line.

History: Gabe is the son of a celebrated superhero, Archangel and as such, carries the expectations of his entire family to follow in his footsteps. Yet by a twist of luck, Gabe found out the existence of a half-brother, and the first day of the rest of his life began, with him choosing to ditch the ';pampered heir' life in favor of getting his own life.
Appalled at his father's treatment of his other son, as well as his teetering into turning alcoholic, Gabe made his choice: He came in contact with his brother, wishing to make amends for their father's behavior. The two started off awkwardly but became close pretty quickly. As soon as Gabe was out of high-school, the two siblings moved into an apartment together, despite their father's anger, and started to attend college together.
Gabriel studies Web-Design and Computer Interfaces, considered a prodigy among his peers. He still maintains contact with his father, though in a rather rocky manner so. Gabe refuses to even consider the idea of taking up the Archangel mantle.
Gabe and Ryan instead wanted to strike out themselves as superheroes but never really had the guts to do so. Their break came when a military experiment of biological weapons went wrong and caused a rampage of mutated creatures to run through Miami. With the city in chaos, they pulled together makeshift costumes and set out to help stop the menace.
They almost got killed, but were able to help subdue the abominations and saved many lives. The media got all over their story and went as far as dubbing them with the nicknames they decided to then keep: Abaddon and Uriel respectively.
Ever since that day, the two have stuck together and gotten more bold in defending their city from crime (and other disasters) even forming a team called Nightwatch. Uriel might be the more tame of the two, but he doesn't take softly to those who try to stir up trouble in the city he's 'taken under his wing', so to say...

Και αυτό μου αλλά λιγότερο απο το προφίλ του Ράϊαν. Και πάλι μου αρέσει περισσότερο η δομή των ρούχων και τα χρώματα.Το πρόσωπο του στην ανθ΄ρωπινη μορφή είναι ωραίο αλλά το κάτω μέρος μου φαίνεται λίγο περίεργο. Ίσως να ήταν καλύτερο να βγεί 3/4 ανφας μόνο αλλά εγώ είμαι το τρόλλ και όχι καλλιτέχνης όποτε εσύ ξέρεις καλύτερα. Τα σχέδια επίσης στην μπλούζα και τα ρούχα είναι ωραία. Αν κρίνω απο τον Ράϊαν που είναι μεν διαολέ στην μορφή αλλά δεν είναι ο <<κακός>> της υπόθεσης, τότε ούτε ο Γκάμπριελ εδώ θα είναι ο <<καλός>> ακριβώς παρά το <<αγγελικό>> στύλ του.
Θα πω περισσότερα στο πεόμενο μύνημα.
