character information ● name: Lucifer aka Sakuya Kira (aka Nanatsusaya aka Lucifel… he’s had many many names.) ● canon: Angel Sanctuary (manga) ● canon point: post-canon / at the point of his “death” in volume 20 ● age: Physically he appears between 18 and mid-twenties, and that’s as old as “Sakuya Kira” became before he died, but in truth Lucifer has been sentient in a variety of forms since before the beginning of mankind.
● (canon) background:Angel Sanctuary Wiki, Angel Sanctuary Characters Wiki, notably see "Sakuya Kira" under "humans" and "Lucifer" under "Demons" since Lucifer becomes Nanatsusaya which becomes Sakuya Kira before reverting to Lucifer again. (Notably, there are some inaccuracies within the Wiki, which is another reason it was not my preference to link it, but I do not think they are too severe.)
● (original) world: n/a
● abilities:
Flight: he has four massive black wings though they are not always present can can be put away or manifested at will.
Magical explosions that are somehow both earth-based and projectile without needing any kind of incendiary device or incantation. This ability will need to be toned-down; some of his explosions can be so massive that they can destroy portions of planes of existence.
Sword-fighting, both broadsword and samurai swords.
Insane healing that occurs within the space of minutes even from ridiculously fatal injuries.
Summoning up weapons (some of which are bound to him metaphysically) with the use of his blood. (Sometimes his sword, shiranui, sometimes knives, once a literal scissord hand thing.)
Creating protective charms that seal off unsafe powers.
Can turn dying angels (and possibly humans? Unknown) into demons (as shown through Barubello's transformation) thus healing them/saving their lives. May need to be nerfed/removed.
A demon’s kiss also apparently can enthrall an individual into obedience. Needs player-permission if not nerfing/removal.
Inhuman speed.
One-way psychic bond with Alexiel / Setsuna (allows him to experience emotions and, if the Nanatsusaya is being wielded, even their thoughts and what they can see and hear).
Exceptional strength.
● strengths: Charismatic. Lucifer is an individual who was literally born to lead and inspire. Even during the time the spends as a human he has a great impact on the people around him. He carries himself with strength and an appearance of self-confidence and seems to always know just what to say. Because he often keeps his motivations and feelings to himself, or behaves contrarily to the desires and expectations of others, it lends an atmosphere of mystery to him that many seem drawn toward.
Cunning. Lucifer is able to devise plans and adapt to new situations easily. He has the patience and the intelligence to wait for his set-ups to pay off many years later. Lies and deception are his bread and butter, and when those fail, he’s not afraid to be abrasive and rude. He can often see through the deceptions to the ulterior motives and inner feelings of others.
Selflessness. Although Lucifer’s grudge against the Creator begins with himself, his commitment to breaking His shackles on their Universe is attributable to his love of other beings, most especially Alexiel. He very rarely has the opportunity to have his own emotional needs addressed but spends much of his time being a solid support for Setsuna and Kato, risking his life and literally following the former through Hell and back for the former.
● weaknesses:
Repressed. Angels are taught from childhood that they must only love God. They are not shown love or told how to properly express it for others. Even when living as a human, because of his agreement with Sakuya, Nanatsusaya was unable to show love for Kira senior. He also spent a great deal of time rejecting his emotions as false or inscrutable, willfully ignoring, or lying to himself/others about them. Addressing the futility of his existence and watching the love of his life’s reincarnation fall in love with someone else was too painful, so he just tried to tell himself he was fine with everything as it was.
Poor self-worth. Lucifer discovered the secrets of angels’ births: they commit a horrific sin by virtue of existing and are mass-produced scientific experiments. As Nanatsusaya, he spent years thinking of himself as just a tool with no real rights or needs of his own. As a human he committed crimes and behaved hatefully to force his human “father” to hate him and says he doesn’t deserve his love. When he became Lucifer again, he attacked and killed his own friends. He even describes himself at one point as a pitiful, loathsome monster.
Obsessive. Once Lucifer sets his mind to accomplishing a goal, it’s impossible to make him give it up. He spent thousands of years working toward freeing Alexiel without any regard for what it was doing to himself. His subjugation as Nanatsusaya engendered in him a hatred so intense that when people attempted to draw the sword he drove them to madness; he refused to ever recognize anyone but Alexiel as his master after his fall. His concern for Setsuna’s well-being drove him to following the boy multiple times without his knowledge, which was an extension of his many years pursuing Alexiel.
● job skills (optional): Combat & tactics- Lucifer is a trained fighter both with swords and magic; furthermore he has leadership experience as a general.
Tracking - He has a lot of practice sneaking in and out of places unseen and undetected, tailing individuals, and a good idea for detail. (This isn’t something he would mention. But. It’s true.)
Researching/reading - Lucifer, at least as Kira, is/was sort of a secret nerd. He has a great love of books and an appreciation for knowledge and enjoys reading things for hours at a time. He can be a bit encyclopedic, spouting off random facts or philosophy or quotes from novels he’s read.
Mentor - this might seem like a really weird thing for Lucifer, father of lies and temptation, but actually Lucifer has a super soft-spot for humans, especially the underdog, abandoned-by-society and trying-their-best-to-get-by in unideal situations. As Kira, he helped to keep both of his best friends from succumbing to really hopeless situations and encouraged them to keep fighting and trying no matter how painful it was. ● housing (optional): No requests

[ He has spent a great deal of time considering how in fact he wants to and should introduce himself on this network. Not that computers are any stranger to angels, but as Lucifer he never had much use of them. As a human, though…
It should be easy enough to write a post, shouldn’t it? A simply introduction and a query for new information about this new world he’s found himself in. But what comes flowing out is not worded in the prosaic voice of the ages-old being that he knows himself to be but the irreverent, shit-posting, careless tone of the teenage delinquent that he was until so recently. ]
Pretty sure when old Shakes wrote about there being more thing in heaven and earth than dreamt of in philosophy he didn’t mean whole other universes. All I can say is there better be both cheese and rabbits on this moon or I’m suing some book publishers. Anybody got a hookup for some inter-dimensional lawyers?
Actually, on the note of people who have had brushes with death and ghosts, let’s take a poll here: how many of you fully expected you’d never expect anything again before you wound up here? Not to be morbid, but I’m pretty sure I ought to be dead.
[ He hesitates at the end. It’s not what he intended, but it feels too natural to be denied. Perhaps “Sakuya Kira” is still more alive and well within him than he thought. Then again, this should suit him well enough; until he can ascertain the truth about this place and its denizens, hiding behind that old identity might not be a bad idea. It’s certainly a lot less threatening than “Lucifer.”
