Character(s) Vehement's Character(s)
The goddess Serra, The Benevolent dedicates her existence to serving humanity, unlike most gods who loathe mortals. But, they exist in such great numbers across the multiverse that Serra determined she could not properly serve them on her own. So Serra created angels to carry out her divine will, and her own plane of existence to be a base of operations which she named Serra's Sanctum. Serra carefully sculpted each angel out of ivory as a statue, then gave the statue life. Serra bestowed the angels with holy powers, armed them with weapons and armor imbued with her benediction, and instilled within each angel a set of laws to govern their actions. Serra commanded them to travel the multiverse in search of suffering and stop it.
Ariel, Missionary of Serra is one of the angels created by Serra. Ever since her creation Ariel has traveled the multiverse faithfully enacting the will of Serra. Ariel travels the multiverse searching for people who are in suffering and uses the powers gifted to her by Serra to make things right. Ariel is usually busy slaying evil monsters, banishing plagues, curing the incurable, purging blights, toppling tyrants, intercepting extinction events, and mending broken hearts.

The writer is perfectly happy to change the weight of these powers to scale appropriately with the BBEG at request, or even omit points entirely to provide a more functional writing experience. The main takeaway is that her divine construction ignores the conventional laws of physics and makes her capable of things otherwise impossible by someone of her form factor.
Ariel's body is neigh indestructible, being capable of feats like:
Divine intuition allows her to detect lies from truth in most conversations, but she is forbidden from reading minds. Other supernaturals like demons and djinns are notorious for eluding even her best attempts to apply divine intuition.
Ariel's mind is a palace, considered sensitive and sacred by her laws. It is nigh impervious to read her mind, to such an extent she cannot be contacted via telepathy. Her creed commands that should any entity successfully penetrate her mind's defenses, regardless of how mundane or innocent the purpose was, she must destroy that entity at all costs to deny any possibility that secrets of her sorority are compromised.
She is absolved of mortal needs like food and water, and even air. She has not aged since her creation, and does not sleep. She is, coincidentally, forbidden from sleep because her code demands she always remain vigilant.
Ariel's body is neigh indestructible, being capable of feats like:
- Passing through molten lava naked.
- Containing explosive devices by swallowing them.
- Existing in unsurvivable pressures like the cores of stars and the vaccum of space.
- Glancing sharp weapons and bullets with ease.
- Eyesight capable of discerning the number of stars in the sky within the first light-year distance at a glance.
- Hearing range that extends across distance comparable to continents.
- Smell that can identify the exact ratio of gasses of the atmosphere she stands in.
- Taste that can identify even the smallest traces of toxins.
- Skin so sensitive she could count the number of microorganisms on it, and recite the exact temperature of the room she stands in.
- Redirecting asteroids that would otherwise cause a mass extinction event.
- Wing gusts that can disrupt the atmosphere to deliberately re-arrange the weather.
- Her running and flight speed are capped by what the atmosphere will tolerate before the immense air friction transforms her into functional meteorite. Only because she almost always has a mortal partner who must survive the journey. Preferably without being exposed to lethal g-forces.
- She has the flexibility of a professional contortionist, and can sustain positions of great discomfort indefinitely.
- Throw an object at escape velocity, or even cause it to orbit and come back around to it's origin.
- She once used the thrust generated by a massive and deliberate fart to push a planet to safety from their host star's supernova. It smelled like vanilla.
- She can lift your mother.

The complete list of Ariel's laws instilled at her creation is a closely guarded secret of her sorority that cannot be allowed to be revealed. Ariel is permitted to reveal only a select few that are sanctioned for release, mentioned throughout this profile where relevant. Subtle differences of the behavior of Serra Angels and evidence of their individual personalities suggests that not all Serra Angels possess the same set of laws. This gives the writer the creative liberty to adjust Ariel's laws to fit different writing criteria where/when necessary to maintain a functional writing experience.
The location of her home plane of existence, Serra's Sanctum, is a secret that must be protected at all costs.
There is a secret phrase instilled in Serra Angels that will render them instantaneously incapacitated implemented by Serra as a failsafe measure. This phrase is unique to every angel, and known only by Serra and the relevant angel. Protecting these challenge phrases is of critical importance to Serra Angels.
Ariel hates it when people touch her wings, or her halo!
Ariel hates it when her wings get wet, and dislikes swimming despite being a very capable swimmer.
Ariel cannot tell a lie, but will make it clear when she does not want, may not, or does not know the answer to a question.
Ariel rarely speaks. In reality, she resonates with the souls of other creatures with a divine power that resembles telepathy, but functions differently. In conjunction with very convincing lip-syncing her communication is indistinguishable from usual patterns of speech. This allows her to communicate with any creature with a soul regardless of the language barriers she would inevitably face traveling the multiverse. This permits her to perform feats like being understood in situations where it would be otherwise impossible via conventional speech, like being underwater or in a vaccum. Consequentially Ariel struggles to communicate with creatures that do not have souls such as machines.
Despite being indestructible, she will often employ profound illusions to decorate her body with damage and even feign injury to retain a relatable disposition to mortals. She has even leveraged this to fake her own death for an advantage.
Ariel's clothing is not indestructible, and dry-clean only.
Ariel is notoriously bad with directions.
Ariel refuses to reveal how much she weighs.
Ariel is notoriously bad at disguises, and hiding, on account of the fact she has wings and glows at all times.
She doesn't actually like gospel music despite being an angel, and prefers heavy metal.
Ariel is weak against tentacles.
Ariel has a bad habit of getting stuck through openings.
Ariel's skin sensitivity manifests in being exceptionally responsive to pain, and extends to climaxing easily and even uncontrollably under risque circumstances.
Ariel is sterile. Being instilled with strong maternal instincts to make her an excellent guardian of mankind cause her to desire starting a family of her own, even though commitments binding her to any person or place are forbidden by her laws.
