AppearancePhysical Description: Res has strong but delicate facial features that hold intensity and focus. His porcelain skin is finely textured and thanks to his extraplanar DNA it remains supple as he ages. He has hair cut in a variety of styles but most often so that a longer fringe hangs over the shorter hair underneath, parted slightly off the middle. His eyes are a cool grey blue and often hold a neutral expression,
The muscles of his tall, lean body are firm and powerful. The extraplanar DNA means that he packs more power than the average human into his muscles, despite their relatively lean look. His training keeps him toned and strong. He isn’t aware of the physical beauty others see in him, despite it being readily apparent. He has long, powerful legs and equally muscled arms along with a defined chest. Even clothed, his form is notable.
Resiel has a loping gait and moves with fluid grace in any situation. He could be a model if he had any interest in doing so. Many have remarked that his physique most resembles that of a dancer. It holds both grace and strength. In spite of all of this power and beauty, Res prefers to blend in and try to make his presence as neutral as possible.
Clothing: Res is a bit of a clothes horse so you can expect him to be achingly fashionable. His most common outfit is something that emphasizes his lean, taut physique. He’ll wear tight pants and tight shirts that show off his body, but are designed not to restrict his movement. When he’s on a job, he’ll bow to necessity and wear outfits that conceal weapons and often have accommodations for body armour. On rare occasions when he’s “slumming it” he’ll wear black jeans and a black t-shirt, but that’s pushing it. Otherwise he’s got to be flaunting his ability to pick the latest, hottest styles.
Accessories: Res does carry a gun quite often and always has a combat knife in a boot sheath. He also has a line of piercings going up both ears and a discrete nose ring that he will sometimes wear and sometimes leave off. I won’t mention his other piercings because only certain people might get to see them (and no, not THERE). Otherwise, he remains unadorned and lets his good looks and fashion sense do the accentuating.
Picture: PersonalityResiel is best characterized as a young man who is two sides of a coin. There’s a part of him that has ice for blood which is the part that he brings forward when he’s on a job. He can suppress all of his more human instincts for empathy and caring in order to do what must be done. He has no malice or hatred for his targets. They are simply there to be erased as efficiently as possible. The other Resiel is different. He is never going to be warmhearted, but he is capable of deep loyalty. In rare cases, Resiel is even capable of love. It takes a great deal to earn his trust, but once earned it is nearly unshakeable. If that trust broken his rejection of the person will be complete. They’ll be dead to him in essence.
He isn’t without humour even if he is without warmth. His wit tends to be dry and sardonic. However, again, if he is crossed he’ll turn that wit into cutting, cruel sarcasm. The depths of his complexity aren’t likely to be fathomed at any great rate. He is a difficult person to know and hard to love. If someone is persistent and he respects that person, he will reveal more of himself but otherwise he’ll remain enigmatic and aloof.
History. Resiel was not born, he was made. His existence is the result of in vitro fertilization and genetic engineering. His mother and father were scientists. They were persuaded, when it became apparent that his mother would have to use in vitro fertilization to conceive, that they should collaborate with one of the extraplanar races that had expertise in genetic manipulation to enhance Resiel. This use of him as an experiment has long been a source of bitterness on his part toward his parents.
The manipulation resulted in the boy being born and growing at an unusually fast rate. His physical and mental development outstripped his peers by about six months, so he was always ahead and also always alone and isolated. He completed his education by the age of 15. Despite his physical beauty and prowess, he was ostracized by the other children for his freakishly fast growth, preternatural intelligence and sharp tongue.
His abilities had not escaped the notice of a special branch of the military centred in Chrysanthemum. Their specialties are infiltration, assassination and espionage. Always on the lookout for new talent, they recruited Res on his 16th birthday and moved him to their facilities. His parents objected but were overruled. It was at this point that he began to be forged into a killing machine. However, thanks to a special colonel with whom he grew close, Resiel kept a part of his humanity intact. Colonel Strok saw that this boy was worth treating as human, despite his strange birth. He began teaching him how to socialize with others and in the special unit, Res was respected for his abilities, not mocked.
After his training, he began undertaking missions for the unit, but there was a growing restlessness in him. He gave the unit three years of service before requesting release. Strok thought about refusing but came to understand that there might be a way that Resiel could be of use outside. As an independent contractor, there were things that Res could do which were beyond the government’s reach. He granted his youthful charge his wish and set him out in the world.
The young man’s reputation preceded him and he quickly found that jobs were rushing in. His efficiency and lack of any self-aggrandizing tendencies made him popular. At the present, he’s busy continuing to establish his work and becoming more closely tied to the centers of power in all of the various nations.

SourcesSkills & DisciplinesOne of Res’ chief skills is his ability to commit assassinations without any emotion. He becomes a coldly rational calculating machine and strives only to finish the job. He is also skilled in hand to hand combat given his enhanced strength and speed. Another one of his skills that has nothing to do with harming anyone is listening. He is a good and attentive listener for those who need an ear.
