[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Abel Nightroad
FANDOM: Trinity Blood (manga-verse)
CHRONOLOGY: Directly after destroying the Star of Sorrow
BACKGROUND:
Abel was created in 2088 A.D. as one of four test tube babies whose bodies were infused with Krusnik nanomachines by the Mars human colonists. Abel once had a hatred for humanity and joined the Methuselah in the war against humans after the Armageddon. During the war between the humans and Methuselah, Abel killed seven million humans with his own hands, in an attempt to purge the world of them. However, Lilith, the original crusnik, attempted to reason with him, and was slowly gaining ground. Seeing this, his brother, Cain, killed Lilith, stealing her nanomachines and presenting the head to Abel. In a fit of anguish and rage, he and his sister, Seth, jettisoned Cain out into the earths atmosphere. Abel then fled to earth with Lilith’s body. He spent 900 years weeping and mourning in Lilith's crypt at the Vatican, until a young Caterina Sforza fled there to escape Methuselah assassins. Abel, realizing that it was his task to continue Lilith's work and defend the humans, saved the young Caterina and chose to live on. He joined the AX at its foundation in May, 3055 A.D.
Working with AX for ten years, in that time span he met up with Astharoshe Asran for a mission, a noble from the vampire empire. Though she too initially harbored hatred for the human race and hardly cared if they got hurt in her attempts to finish up her mission, an accident that she caused that nearly killed Abel and the group of humans that he was trying to protect gave her a change of heart. Though still wary towards humans, she no longer saw them as lesser, inferior beings. At least, as much.
It was Abel who destroyed a budding army of robotic soldiers before they took over the Vatican, and helped to convert the remaining survivor into a trusted and important member of AX. Known as Tres now, the robotic gunslinger is both a close friend and his most reliable partner.
Finally, Esther, a nun that he met while investigating a growing problem in Istvan, is a girl who is very, very dear to him. Having first met her at a train station, he originally thought she was a boy, only to discover the exact opposite at the church when the small nun requested that he keep his mouth shut about their previous meeting. Unknown to Abel, or anyone else in the church, save for Esthers close friend, Dietrich, Esther herself was a terrorist, bent on taking down the vampire ruler of the city, Lord Gyula, who had killed the woman who had watched over her for most of her life, another nun of the church.
Under the belief that all vampires were monsters, and supplied with weapons from Dietrich, she put everything she had into murdering the man who had killed her ‘mother’. Originally, she didn’t think much of Abel, aside from the fact that he seemed much different than a typical priest. It was only after an attack on the church by another vampire, and the destruction of the church by Lord Gyulas men, that she first began to see how competent and reliable the strange, goofy priest could really be. Setting out now to remove Gyula from power, the two of them battled both Gyula, and learned that Dietrich was nothing more than a turncoat who had been working with Gyula since the start. Taking control of Esthers body with some strange, unexplained power only referred to as ‘marionette strings’, he forced Esther to shoot Abel, and quickly left the building. It was then that Gyula announced his plans to purge the city using an ancient weapon, “The Star of Sorrow”. It would annihilate the whole city.
This was far from enough to stop Abel, of course, and before Lord Gyula had the chance to drain Esther of blood, he injured him and sent Esther after Dietrich.
As for Abel and Gyula, they waged battle as Esther left, Abel finally resorting to the Crusnik to defeat the other man. Esther met with Dietrich, who claimed to have the password to shut the Star down, and sent her back to Abel with this.
As it turns out, it was the code to reprogram the Star to hit the Vatican instead, and Dietrich had double played all of them.
Thankfully, Abel was capable of shutting the system down himself, though he never once explained how, only using a short verbal order to the computer and a few typed words. The Star shortly self-destructed harmlessly afterwards, leaving Gyula to die in Esthers arms, finally at peace with himself.
PERSONALITY:
Abel is a very friendly, if goofy, clumsy and occasionally lazy man. He’s prone to getting lost, causing misunderstandings, spending all his money on junk food and tea, and generally being a total and complete klutz. He’s normally got a pretty upbeat personality, with a hopeful optimism about almost everything that’s almost impossible to squelch. It also has a tendency to get a wee bit annoying at times.
He’s kind hearted, slow to anger and very, very patient, even though he seems like a very sensitive guy (getting flustered/frustrated/excited easily, as well as being easily distracted). Abel cares deeply for those he considers friends, and is actually very dependable in emergencies and when there is actual danger. He also makes friends fairly quickly, usually whether or not the person even knows it.
He is highly intelligent, being very good with computers, strategies, and dealing with people. In addition to this, due to his involvement in the Mars project in colonizing the planet, he speaks several different languages as well.
Abel hates fighting, and even puts himself in harms way to keep the peace. He has taken a very strict vow of pacifism, and normally tries to use reason and logic over actual fighting, and he has his own tricks for defusing a situation. However, Abel does have a breaking point, and if it is reached, he can become very violent, and downright cruel and sadistic, going as far as to easily terrify and torture a vampire after the inhabitants of a church were murdered. He still has a few underlying emotional problems and a severe guilt complex, with a past of anger problems. Time has given him more maturity and the ability to better handle himself, but with the crusnik within him also vying for control of his mind, it’s a constant battle.
CLASS: Hero for the city!
SUPERHERO NAME: Abel will go by his code name if he must, Crusnik.
ALTER EGO: Father Abel Nightroad, priest.
POWER: Being a Crusnik, Abels abilities are laid out like so: 40% Increased strength, speed and higher endurance. Wounds heal quickly, and he can create a scythe from his own crystallized blood.
80% Superior strength and speed, regeneration, flight, lightning generation. He goes into something of a berserker mode in 80% form, and needs vampire blood to sustain it, or else he just collapses.
Typically though, Abel appears as a normal human, and even then he still possesses some heightened power, faster than usual healing, slightly enhanced speed and is much stronger than he looks. He also possesses heightened senses, such as sharper hearing and an excellent sense of smell. The glasses are a lie though, he has excellent eyesight. He's just faking nearsightedness.
COMMUNITY POST SAMPLE: [Munch munch munch. What is this the sound of? This is the sound of Abel blowing a good chunk of his hard earned money! What has he blown it on?
Why a collection of sugary sweets and high priced candy, enough to cause dental problems for an entire kindergarten class, that’s what.] These Worthers things are [crunch crunch] a lot better than I thought they’d [nom nom munch] be!
What was I going to… Oh! Now I remember!
[There’s a crinkle of wrappers and the shuffling of paper] It’s going to be Halloween soon, isn’t it? Something should be planned for the local children. I mean, what’s Halloween without a little costume contest or bobbing for apples or candy, after all? Nothing wrong with a little break now and then, you know… I think it’d be a welcome distraction from current events and a good chance to get together! You know, get to know someone you haven’t met yet, make some new friends.
Or at the very least trade recipes or something, it could be fun!
THIRD PERSON: What a long, drawn out day it had been.
Or at least it would have been if Abel had been working. His day had gone rather smoothly, from one nap to the next punctuated occasionally by snacks and pleasant conversation. Well, he had enjoyed himself, and it had been a busy week. He deserved a chance to sit back and take a bit of rest for a while!
Just… a little out of the way. Like down the street around a few corners in a new café in street clothes. And a hat. And dark glasses. Hey, it took a lot of effort and work to keep from working.
Well, playing hooky never killed anyone, but he wasn’t in any rush to find out. Sipping idly at a cup of milk tea and browsing the newspaper… It was actually a little strange, to feel so normal for once since coming here. After all that had been explained, all that he knew new about this city and its residents, it was almost like stepping into the Twilight Zone to sit down at a sunny open sidewalk café and enjoy a cup of tea and some hot bagels.
He glanced up, just for a split second, to watch a gossiping, laughing pair of teens at a table. A faint smile crossed Abel's face. He’d almost forgotten… just how lonely it felt too. He found he had been keeping track of how long it had been since he last saw Esther. Saw Caterina and Tres. Saw Rome. 730.484398 hours and counting, if he were to follow the Gunslingers choice of words. One month, thirty one days, each day progressively starting to feel just a bit longer than the last. The pleasant smile on his face never faded, though perhaps the light behind those eyes faded just a little. How long would it be still…
Something passed his peripherals suddenly, snapping Abel out of his self induced trance.
“Ah! Waitress!” He’d almost missed her, and he was all out of tea! The young lady had walked right past him with the pot, and in Abels attempt to gain her attention…
THUD. Right out of his chair and onto the ground, at the very least managing to catch the cup before it shattered on the ground. Sheepish laughter broke the air as he clumsily attempted to get back into his chair, politely declining any help that was offered. “Oh no , no I’m fine, really! I just wanted a refill. Milk tea, please, with thirteen spoonfuls of sugar.”
