HOMESCHOOLED IN HELL
SATAN IS MY GODFATHER
Now that I have your attention, direct your eyes to this massive wall of text. The aspects make more sense when combined with character story, but if you don't care, TLDR parts are in red, and when not labeled TLDR are regular reading too.
I'm currently making Max, a nephilim (half-angel) who is the son of a Denarian and her Fallen who was raised in the Downbelow. He was able to survive the demon denizens of the Downbelow due to the other demons' fear of the Fallen, and he survived the Fallen's infighting due to Satan's direct involvement (I'm setting myself up for hell...). When his mother (the Denarian) was killed, he was sent out of the Downbelow to wield his father's coin. Eventally convinced by Sanya, who he had been a Denarian with, to give up his coin, his ultimate goal is to redeem the Fallen that are not past the point of no return. This (hopefully) includes his father, because step two is killing the remaining host of Hell to protect humanity. His whole shtick is that he's a Shadow inspired stealth badass who fights crime to prove that neither the Fallen or the Denarians are inherently evil.
The game is running on the idea that the Fallen were just malcontents in the host of Heaven that took their complaints a step too far and were thrown into the Downbelow for a sort of 'permanent time out' (read: exile). It also assumes that Satan was an archangel (and an über-Fallen) and therefore not given a coin, and that the Fallen did not start evil, but instead were slowly corrupted by the Downbelow's denizens and the power given to them by their coin. Max is less capable of seeing the corruption than others with an outsiders' view, and therefore believes that almost all of the Fallen are redeemable, even when most of them aren't. He also has a bit of denial going on (to the point of violence) when corruption in the Fallen that he can't or doesn't want to see, particularly in his father, is pointed out.
Food for thought- How many organizations (sans the über-bigwigs in the Nevernever) know the location of the Downbelow? How many of those organizations (again, minus the über-bigwigs) know anything of its inner geography? How many beings (you know the drill) are familiar enough with the individual Fallen to have an educated guess as to how to destroy their coin? How many beings/organizations (this time including the über-bigwigs) that don't know any or all of these would want Max if they knew he knows? How many of these beings/organizations want him to learn this themselves, and how many only want to silence him? Think about Mab, the Church, the Denarians, even the Archive would have some use for this information. Add to that equation that Max does not want this information getting out yet, as he is afraid that even the redeemable Fallen would be destroyed. This is going to both suck and be awesome at the same time if it works.
TLDR: Max is a half-angel Shadow inspired stealth character who was raised in Hell and wants to redeem the Fallen and cripple, if not destroy, Hell itself with knowledge that most supernatural creatures would kill for if they knew he had it.
As he's new to the group and region (Las Vegas), the GM and I have decided to give him none of the aspects associated with the other players, and to add those aspects as we go on as character growth.
His aspects are (for now):
High Concept: EX-DENARIAN NEPHILIM
Literally what it says on the tin. He is an ex-Denarian, and he is a nephilim.
Trouble: HOMESCHOOLED IN HELL
This allows my character to show a different morality than the other characters do. He wasn't raised in a barn, he was raised in Hell. Different things are allowed there than here, and while he's been on the mortal world for five years, that's not enough time to get used to everything, or even most things. This, however, is as much a curse as it is a blessing.
SATAN IS MY GODFATHER
You can't survive being raised by a group of thirty different people who want to kill each other (especially when those 'people' are demons) without some help. For whatever reason, the Devil (with a capital D) was that help. Is this evidence that even the Big Man Downstairs is redeemable, or does Lucifer have some sort of purpose for Max? Knowing my GM? I'm screwed. (Also, I used four different names for Satan in one paragraph [Devil, Big Man Downstairs, Lucifer, and GM] tying my personal record!)
ENDS FROM ABOVE, MEANS FROM BELOW
Pretty much self explanatory. He uses methods such as murder to put the fear of crime into criminals, thus lowering crime rates across the board (besides the murder rate, of course). Just because he has just, moral goals doesn't mean he uses just, moral methods to complete them.
Best part of all of this is that the other players will only know the 'crime fighting nephilim' part of this character until my GM decides that he's going to reveal it in the most damaging way possible. Wait...
