Name: Ioder, Israfil The Seraphim of JudgmentJust updated my equipment.
Age: 28 in appearance
Gender: Male
Race: Seraphim/Angelic Nebula
Height: 5'11
Hair Color: Blonde
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Personality: Ioder has a strong moral compass, though his actions may fool you. He is all but consumed by his personal goal to one day resurrect his sister Estelle who had died some two hundred years ago. This quest has taken him to wonderful places where he has met some inspiring people. Just recently Ioder has undergone a slight personality shift. In the past Ioder has been known to think little of lesser life forms like humans or other mortal beings. Yet since his induction to the Tarot Hierarchy he has softened up a lot thanks to the earthling Vincent Cain who bears and awful resemblance to Estelle.
Appearance: Ioder has transcended past the binds of a physical form. He is by all accounts a shapeshifter, free to change his form at will. Despite this fact Ioder does tend to present himself as his former appearance as a child. A young childlike form that gives off a sense of a higher status. This form dawns shoulder length blond hair with piercing blue eyes that would make you believe he was human.
History: Ioder was once part of the world of Althanas many long years ago. He was a half human half elven noble of the once great city and center of academics Boeth. This city was lost in a violent night of fire from the warring nation to the west. In this night of cataclysm what happened exactly to Ioder is unknown even to himself but he awoke some time later upon a holy altar devoted to the gods of the time.
He had gone through some form of transformation and from the age of fourteen he was forever changed into one of the few Seraphim who reside in the world of Althanas. Blessed with powerful light magic and the wings of an angel Ioder has been living ever since wandering around the world lending helpful hands to any who need it.
Though his righteous power and gifts were great he has retained his child like curiousity throughout the ages. On one fateful date he witnessed the execution of a couple by the hands of a criminal group. The group killed the mother and father of a young and innocent girl by the name of Estelle. Ioder decided not to let the cruelties of the world corrupt this orphaned Estelle and assumed the role of her guardian angel.
Ioder traveled the world with her for a number of years acting like her new found/adopted younger brother. Playing the role of poor and helpless little Ioder, he forced her to stand for herself and him alike. He watched as she grew into a young adult until in a flash she was taken from him.
On his travels Ioder has made some essential friends that have truly shaped the being he is today. The first would be Gavner Nahs the general of the Vampire army and newest member of the Ixian Knights. He would be the most influential of his friends as he is both ally and rival; both willing to put their own lives on the line for one another.
After many years of wandering around and trying to further his goals have gotten Ioder nowhere until the day he joined the Hierarchy. Since that day that feels like so long ago Ioder along with Vincent Cain and Alyssa Snow have become the newest incarnations of the three ruling arcana. Ioder being the Seraphim of Judgment once more has pledged to serve as the leader the Tarot needs while keeping the peace between his friends.

Abilities:
The Angelic Nebula- Ioder as Seraphim is composed of a pool of energy known as the Angelic Nebula. At his very core he is nothing more than a cloud of dust-like energy that allows him and others of his kind the capability of configuring and reconfiguring his physical form at will. This would allow him to change his shape and appearance into any form he liked with the same general mass of a small bear and anything lesser in size and nature. From human to dwarf to goblin there is no shape too complex for Ioder to assume though he may not assume a form of pure energy. He may extend out the energy to touch and interact with the world around him in various forms. Though he isn't naturally a solid composite he may be slain by regular means.
Angelic Nebula- Angel’s Montage- Ioder may shift from form to form freely with little effort. He is even able to shift multiple times in quick successions if needed. (8 total uses.)
Angelic Nebula- Angel's Wrath- Ioder sends forth a portion of his ‘Nebula’ at his opponent with the aim of encasing and trapping his target. This is able to wrap around up to two limbs of his target and hold the two fast for two posts with the strength of damascus. Ioder can concentrate his attack somewhat, sending a smaller amount his nebula able to wrap around a part of a person and crush it, similar to being struck by a powerful delhar hammer. This versatile ability also allows him to interact with his surroundings. (Combined 5 total uses. The hit must land to be considered used as the malleable nature of the ability. Outside of combat he may use this indefinitely to interact with the world.)
Angelic Nebula- Angel's Protection- Ioder uses his nebula for protection around himself or another person. For a post any attacks are fended off by the steel strength defense automatically, but the effect must be cast the post prior. Repeated attacks, or very powerful attacks may still pierce this defense. (4 total uses.)
Angelic Nebula- Angel's Visage- Ioder can create an image of serene beauty with his nebula. These creations can range from animals through to people or angels. These visages are able to move with the speed of a normal person. If they should they get within two meters of their target they can turn back into raw nebula and encase their victim as described in Angel's Wrath. These creations can only exist for three posts before dematerializing. (2 total uses.)
Angelic Nebula- Angel’s Armor- Using this technique, Ioder can cover himself in a compacted layer of his aura, providing an additional defense should his Angel’s Protection fail. Though quite effective, maintaining the armor requires a large amount of concentration and stamina. It takes as much force to break the armor as it would break tier 3 metals. For the Armor of Aura to be considered used it must be broken though. Once broken it reassembles itself until Ioder can no longer keep it up.(5 total uses.)
Angelic Nebula- Angel’s Prestige– Ioder being a literal mass of energy makes him completely unaffected by gravity. He moves in whatever manner he wishes, up walls and on ceilings, as well as levitation and flight.
Angelic Nebula- Angel’s Rebirth– No matter what may happen, whether it be death or even complete eradication, Ioder’s mass will eventually reassemble itself and he will be fully recovered after a few days.
Angelic Nebula- Angel’s Confetti- Ioder can create up to four tennis ball sized orbs of his nebula that orbit around him. These spheres can be used as both projectiles and explosives. He is capable of firing these orbs as fast as a fired arrow and may rupture them at will. Once ruptured these spheres explode in a wonderfully colorful glitter paint bomb. Any person that gets any amount of glitter on them have a powerful illusion cast upon them. This illusion turns all equipment invisible for thirty minutes (3 posts.)
Angelic Nebula- Israfil, The Seraphim of Judgment- Upon the death of anything near him Ioder can commune with its soul. The soul is compelled, nah forced, to tell tail of their life, to relive their worst sins and greatest pleasantries. Ioder then judges them based on how he viewed their lives. If any soul is deemed sinful rather than pure, they are not allowed to ever pass on to the next life and instead are consumed by Ioder, forever in his possession and added into his Nebula. (Player Character may avoid this toll. (If they are babies about it. (Lookin at you.)))
Angelic Reflexes- Ioder possesses incredible reflexes and combat prowess. In battle he is able to predict attacks and react to them with great speeds. He can place seven to eight swords swings in the time it would take the average man one easily outmatching the competition. This does not affect his running speed.
Judgment: Divine Summons- This allows Ioder to transplant any Major or Minor Arcana from wherever they are in the world to infront of Ioder. After transplanting anyone Ioder must withdraw from battle due to fatigue. Though this is a great feat his compelling summons may be refused. (1 total uses)
