Angel Israfel (Archangel Raphael) based on the manuscript

[kaleidoru]

the first grandchild of the island is born, and the lions (and cat. and rooster. and the reverse-gryphon grandchild.) have gotten together to celebrate.

[wilsons-journey]

Time for a little ramble about my OCs, this time about possible double Professions!

Wilson

Elementalist / Ranger Tempest - later the new Spec / Untamed

Elementalist lies in her blood, thanks to her father, who was a former Flame Legion Charr with powerful magic. But Wilsons love for creatures and her incredible talent in taming them makes her a perfect Ranger, too

I see her combining both talents with the upcoming Expansion :3c

Sidenote: And with the next Expansion, she finally gets her magic back, she lost at the end of EoD - when she protected her friends and allies!

Fuma

Ranger / Guardian Druid / Dragonhunter

Fuma is the protector of their group, so Guardian as her second Profession would be very fitting for her!

Thanks to the Olmakhan, Fuma learned to be a powerful Druid. She even gained the ability to transform into a powerful sand elemental for a short time.

I imagine her Guardian Power being an extension to her Druid magic. So green, nature themed flames for her to protect her loved ones with more power!

Valefor & Neeve

Guardian / Thief Valefor: Willbender / Daredevil Neeve: Willbender / Deadeye

They both were raised as Tools / Assassins - so they're both very skilled in killing with their own set of weapons.

Valefor with Dagger / Staff(Spear) - Melee Assassin Neeve with Chain Weapons (Kusarigama inspired) - Ranged Assassin

But due to their demon essence, they also inhabit magic. Powerful ice cold flames - burning everything that enflames their rage.

Kying

Warrior / Guardian Berseker / Firebrand

Kying is mainly a Warrior with the ability to charge up his strength as a Berserker (Rage)

During EoD Aurene gifts him a pair of magic infused Axes. So maybe he inherits some of Aurenes Magic - giving him some prismatic kind flames?

Either way - Warrior / Guardian would be a perfect mix for Kying. He is a strong warrior with a strong sense of protection.

Vale

Thief / Necromancer Daredevil / Default Necormancer or Rituralist

Now this one goes a little wild. Vale is mainly a Thief - stealthy and quick in combat.

But since she lived many years in Orr, after she left her home as an born Olmakhan - I can see her unknowingly absorb some of Zhaitan's death magic.

Maybe the Necormancer side of her awakens when she gets enraged - a good reason, why she tries her best to stay calm all the time.

But since she became Aurene's Champion, this side of her goes to slumber / gets cleansed by Aurene.

Nektarius & Lemtarius

Ranger / Revenant Soulbeast / Vindicator

This one is a bit tricky. Nektarius is the Ranger and Lemtarius the Revenant.

Lemtarius got created when, Nektarius ventured through the mist - or to be more precisely, when she tried to leave the mist and had some complications doing so.

Her negative thoughts manifested into Lemtarius, that stick to Nektarius like a shadow.

Israfil

Necromancer / Mesmer Harbringer / Default Mesmer

He has both the ability to raise the death but also create clones of himself to trick / bother his enemies.

He is also able of mind control.

------

Maybe I add more with the next expac - but that's it, so far o/

[red-steampunk]

[summocrap]

[emichii-the-mc]

As rain falls, so shall Israfil's tears fall as well to cleanse the lands, such are the claims. He watches on as humanity proceeds onwards, towards their ends, awaiting the time when he can step onto the stage to conduct the finale.

[ineffablebookgirl]

Okay, man, hold on. Everything is clunking into place for me, after reading this post about Aziraphale being Israfil in Islam, the angel whose job it is to blow the cosmic horn that starts Armageddon.

And so then, Crowley is the Serpent of Eden, who sets the human story in motion, and, presumably, the need for an Armageddon, where humans are measured and sorted into Good and Bad, sent to Heaven or Hell.

And someone else in another post I read long ago pointed out that Crowley signs to start the Armageddon process at the beginning of the series.

While Aziraphale signs for the package with the tools of the Four Horsepersons, at the end of the series, to end the Armageddoff process. [I could not find a gif or a video of this anywhere, so sorry, you get a crappy photo of my screen I took with my phone.]

So, once again, their roles are reversed --

Crowley starts humanity, Aziraphale is supposed to end it.

Crowley starts Armageddon, Aziraphale ends it.

And Aziraphale ends it in another sense, too, as he's the one [in the series, not in the book] whose creativity and critical thinking skills come up with the argument about the Great Plan vs the Ineffable Plan.

This has also got me thinking about how Aziraphale and Crowley, despite being absolute grade A idiots, are actually ridiculously powerful.

If Aziraphale is one of the ten most important angels, and his job is to literally end everything, it explains some things. Like why the other angels are so insistent on getting him back up to Heaven, instead of just writing him off as a weirdo and a soon-to-be casualty of the War. Like why the Metatron says, "We will leave the portal open for you, do not dawdle." Like why the Quartermaster angel says, "Your whole platoon is waiting for you."

And then there's Crowley. And there're lots of people who like the idea that he's just a nobody in Hell. "They just said, get up there and make some trouble." But then again, he's the only demon we know of who can stop time.

He's the only demon who has an imagination. Which. If all the demons and Satan fell at the same time, for asking questions. I wonder what changed. Why has Crowley kept asking questions, which seems to me to be crucially linked to having an imagination. Meanwhile Hastur and Ligur and Beelzebub, etc., and even Satan, are fatally literal-minded. Satan is defeated by Adam's creativity in naming his adoptive father as his only meaningful father, breaking the expectation and tradition of bloodline. So that kind of creativity is extremely powerful in the story.

So what else do we not know about Crowley and his power?

[justmori]

I know I’m not the only one to have noticed Aziraphale the name is a little like Israphal / Israfil (I don’t know how to spell this without a phonetic alphabet) سْـرَافِـيْـل who is the archangel who blows the horn at the end of the world.

The Second Coming is the end of the world, full stop.

This archangel has nothing to do until the day of judgment, the second coming. Why not put this angel on earth with no knowledge of their actual job?

I’ll just leave this here because I’m sure it’s all been said somewhere.
