character information
● name: Abel Fletcher (Cerberus)
● canon: Original
● canon point: after Cain destroys the Clockless
● age: 24 (dead for 2767 years)
● (canon) background:
● (original) world: Everyone is born with a Reaper in their shadow and a timer on their neck counting down until their eventual death. Only people possessing the power to see it, known as the Deathsight, are able to become Enforcers, basically ghost cops who make sure people try not to cheat death, deal with lingering ghosts without Deathsight, and make sure the living who also bear the Deathsight don't do anything stupid with their powers. In recent years, the Enforcers have also been tasked to death with cults and organizations trying to break death due to the presence of an immortal among the living. There's also a bit with Death and Destiny recreating the world and using their human twin sons (Cain and Abel) to know when exactly it's time for humanity to start anew.
Abel, surprisingly for an emotionless ghost, is actually the main character. He is the oldest person with Deathsight, his death was what made Cain immortal, and he's pretty much a legend to the point where the living know him by name. While he doesn't have much of a history due to dying at twenty-four and most of his death is spent murdering people, he is forced back into the world of the living to help raise one of Cain's descendants, an orphaned preteen by the name of Holly Fletcher, who used her Deathsight for profit. Through raising her, he is learning how to be human again, reconnected with the twin brother he doesn't remember, and is stuck babysitting two people with broken death timers until they can be fixed. Oh, and taking down an organization who is breaking people's timers.
● abilities:
Death Magic: The only magic in his world, death magic is used by Enforcers to help them do their jobs better. While it can be used to do the usual fireballs and ridiculously showy magic stuff, Abel personally uses his magic to enhance his reflexes and strength, teleport from place to place, create ammunition for the weapons he wields or create weapons, and to understand the many languages he doesn't speak personally.
Deathsight: Like his brother and all of their descendants, Abel has the power of Deathsight, which allows him to see the timer around a person's neck that counts down to their eventual death or, if already dead, how old they were when they were died. I will be making sure to use a permission post to keep track of what Abel sees on people or if he can even comment on their timer.
● strengths:
Cunning: For a guy that has only recently started to deal with the living again, Abel is very good at twisting a person's perception of him to get what he wants. While normally using it to manipulate very pushy parents during PTA meetings, he also uses it when on the job as an Enforcer, tricking people into either thinking he's weak or using his legend status as Cerberus to make people fear him.
Protective: If you get into Abel's good graces somehow (like being family), then he will do everything in his power to not only keep you safe, but to keep you happy. Now that he's gotten people back into his death, his big brother instincts have turned themselves back on and he will make sure that the people he cares about are kept alive and taken care of. Even people he's dealing with only for work reasons are under that umbrella because Abel takes his job Super Seriously and wouldn't want something to fail because of him.
Restraint: Despite being dead, Abel would be considered the cautious twin. Being trained more as a soldier or an assassin than a cop, he tends to stay back and see how a situation unfolds before putting himself into play. He would rather a job or situation take longer and work out right than to rush in and screw something up just because of a time limit or impatience from another source. Being as old as he is puts things into perspective and he'd rather do things right than to do something stupid and/or heroic.
● weaknesses:
Emotionless: After centuries of working as an Enforcer and forced to hunt down and kill people, Abel tried to force himself into the afterlife and when that didn't work, suppressed all of his emotions so that he could continue doing his job without dealing with the fact that he murders people as a career. While he's recently been dealing more with people, his emotional spectrum is still very...limited and that's not about to change any time soon.
Over-Specialized: If Abel was a DnD character, he'd be one that was min-maxed to an insane degree. Because he has no memories of his life, Abel was specifically trained by the Reapers to hunt down and kill people to the detriment of everything else. He only knows two languages (Ancient Greek and very early Latin), doesn't know how to interact with people, and only vaguely knows secondhand how living people survive. He's been working on it, but it's going to take a while for him to get anywhere close to normal.
Rule-Oriented: Abel lives his death following the rules of the Reapers, which are many and all Enforcers have to follow them, but Abel follows them to a point where it would be unhealthy if he wasn't a ghost that's been around for nearly three thousand years. He obsesses over them to the point where if he was in a place where the rules aren't something he could follow, he'd start to unravel a bit and not know how to deal with things until he was able to find another focus for himself.
● job skills (optional): working with horses, weapon making, repairing cars, singing
● housing (optional):
● network username: spot
● network sample: While I am sure that people would normally introduce themselves upon arrival, I will disregard that for the moment and instead call upon those who have dealt with my brother, currently using the name Jacob Kane.
I apologize for him acting in any way that could be considered foolish and idiotic. He is currently what one would call a "work in progress" and it may take some time to train him out of his current mindset of not running headfirst into danger with no disregard for his own safety.
As for introductions, I am Abel Fletcher and to answer your questions, yes, I am dead, and no, my idiot brother did not kill me.
