Name: Castiel De Lioncourt
Age: 22
Physical Appearance:
After emerging from his cryo-chamber Catiel comes to grips with his physical appearance, his statis unit being damaged for such a long time has caused slight ageing and as a result his normal medium length hair is now longer and covers his eyes. The hue of his hair has also changed going from black to a dark blood red colour, his eyes also have changed to the same blood red colour, losing all the humanity he had to hold onto prior to the Destrillian programme and replacing it with genetic modifications.
The cryo-chamber has continued it’s daily regiment of drug injections also as Castiel’s muscles have continued to grow since he was discarded from the programme. His skin has retained it’s pale colour and the bags he once carried under his eyes seem to have dissipated over time leaving him as the image of innocence.
Castiels physical shape is that of a well-toned individual, showing definition in his arms and legs without being over bulky and inhibiting his speed.
Castiel has a slightly rough looking face that is accompanied by a smile that makes him appear innocent when he wants it yet can be quickly seen changed when he begins to kill, his whole face going from angelic to demonic within seconds.
Waking up naked and alone in his cryo-chamber left Castiel with few options for clothing, his only clue to why he was awaken lay in the bodies of nearby youth’s and that of a small contingent of military personnel with insignias he did not notice.
Appealing to his sadistic side Castiel opted for ransacking clothing from all the dead bodies, his long sleeved white top with a sprayed on black skull he took from the youth nearest to his own physical shape. His underwear stolen from the military personnel as it provided much needed support, his bottoms consisted of a makeshift kilt using the material from the blood soaked youth’s blanket and the military personnel’s army belt to keep it in place.
His shoes and socks were also stolen from the nearby military personnel giving him a blood-soaked ragged look that made him grin with pleasure.
Admiring the bodies of the youth’s dead around him Castiel came to enjoy the physical artwork that humans were so adept at creating, threatening to kill a gifted tattooist that lived nearby Castiel emerged several hours later with his left hand side tattooed in celtic designs from his foot to the nape of his neck and a sleeve of the same design on his left arm to match making Castiel content enough he did not snap the human’s neck after all. Instead he chose to cut his hair to hang just between his shoulder blades and don black glasses while walking among humans,
Personality:
While under observation the doctors that held Castiel diagnosed him with split personality disorder based on the mental switch he succumb to between saint and sinner.
Unknown to the doctor’s however it was a switch that Castiel chose to flip given the right situation and whether he believed the resulting actions would cause him enjoyment.
Being raised in war Castiel has known nothing of kindness and instead learnt of the façade to better his relations with the other Destrillians, quickly learning that his physical demeanour was the easiest to change in order to gain trust from those around him. Castiel learnt these attributes from one other Destrillian during the programme seeing something in him that no-one had ever seen before. Castiel unable to reciprocate these feelings at the time did what came natural to him, he protected her to the point of killing this action would be the final straw and as a result he was deemed a failure and sealed in stasis…until now.
In truth Castiel was neither saint nor sinner, he was a weapon from birth and he saw himself as such and refused to be a tool used by the government. As a result Castiel chose to remind them of this fact by killing several of his handlers soon after his initial introduction to the programme.
Power:
Genetic manipulation/Sonic burst:
The reason Castiel was chosen for the programme was due his background as a child soldier for the military but also his uncanny ability to seem to sense danger and react with lightning like reflexes. During a blood screen scientists discovered that Castiels blood held a unique genetic modification that heightened the latent abilities of humans on almost every sense, his skin also was seemingly more durable than that of the other children in his unit at times appearing almost like stone when threatened.
Once integrated into the Destrillian programme Castiel’s genetic code began to mutate again causing his already heightened abilities to go into overdrive and his skin to retain it’s pale colour almost continually making him a walking tank causing the scientists to use sharper needles to penetrate his skin.
As well as his heightened speed and strength Castiel also gained the ability to create large bursts of noise from his mouth. Using his throat Castiel manages to change the vibrations from his voice to a point where he creates sonic waves to emit, the vibrations from these bursts cause most human eardrums to burst and when he truly pushes himself Castiel can throw people across the room with an extreme force.
When being tested in his abilities Castiel was asked to destroy a concrete wall and during this test managed to kill the scientist behind it by applying a direct blast against the scientists head causing the scientist to bleed out at an increased rate.
Physical/Telepathic Abilities:
Castiel has the normal abilities of a Destrillian, keeping in with the ability to talk telepathically as well as having the ability to sense at close range the energy of other Destrillian’s. However unlike most other Destrillians, Castiel has the ability to block his own energy signal and altogether shut down the ability of telepathic communication towards himself.
This ability has served him well to disguise his position and keep him off the radar from those who may want to find him.
History:
Castiel was born on the battlefield, carried away by a soldier he was raised on a military base to be a child soldier and serve as an undercover soldier for military missions where an insider would be needed.
The enemies of the military continually fell pray to Castiel’s angelic face and quiet demeanour taking it for a scared child as opposed to a calculated killer.
When Castiel became a teenager the medical screening procedure mandatory to most soldiers was untook and the military took great interest in the results of the tests.
Under the orders of the military Castiel was drugged and taken to Viola to undertake the Destrillian programme in order to create a perfect killer.
With Castiel’s will showing more after the programme the military soon saw the truth behind their ideal soldier and began trying to manipulate the child in other ways.
Although Castiel was a loner by nature the scientists wished to view the child’s interactions with the other subjects as well as humans, seeing that the boy killed the human children with little to no remorse the decision was made to limit human contact.
After several handler related deaths the military and scientific minds sought to pick only those that Castiel had shown disinterest with to handle him, seeking to placate the boy as opposed to killing him outright.
On one of the scientists frequent visits to Castiel while interacting with the other subjects it was seen that Castiel had began to change in his demeanour, no longer seeming disinterested with the other subjects but rather more human than the monster they had labelled him. It was only noted that this change happened when he was placed near a specific Destrillian, the scientists taking this to note later encountered that this apparent change in Castiel ran deeper than simple niceties.
One of the handlers named John mistakenly mentioned his findings to Castiel on one of their training days, Castiel reacted with his usual disinterest and was placed on a firing range and ordered to destroy a concrete wall at the other end of the facility, making it appear like an accident Castiel upped his output to the point that he knew he would hit John.
The resulting burst caused not only the wall to be destroyed but the scientist named John to have died from extreme blood loss from almost every orifice.
Although the scientists argued that Castiel had meant to kill the scientist all along the military saw the potential of his demonstration and called off the investigation into the matter.
The scientists however did not take this lightly however and during one of Castiel’s interactions with the female destrillian a female scientist procedure to goad Castiel and the female to the point where she slapped the girl.
Castiel showing no interest in the matters up until that point proceeded to snap the female scientists neck before attacking the dead body till all that remained was a bloody corpse.
The scientists had exactly what they wanted, an excuse to get rid of Castiel once and for all.
Within the hour Castiel was removed from his female partner and forced into his cryo-unit.
Slipping into oblivion, Castiel slept the remaining years in ignorance with only images of death and his friend in his mind.
During the time in which Castiel was frozen, the military sought to move him from branch 2. Packing up the unit the scientists were sloppy enough in their work that they intentionally sabotaged the unit so that the boy within would sleep away the years but age with the passing time.
Castiel was moved from facility after facility never staying in one place too long as the military found new ways to use his genetic code in other experiments, until one day they decided to move him through the country where they were ambushed by a private military force. The official records state that Castiel was killed as a result of enemy fire however his body was stolen by the private military under the orders of some unknown party.
As Castiel’s journey neared it’s end and the final journey was being undertaken the cocky private military force were also ambushed this time however by members of a local gang looking to make a name for themselves. Mistaking Castiel for a weapons shipment the gang ambushed the convoy and started a bloody fight with the private military force. Out gunned and outnumbered the military force were quickly dispatched and the gang inspected their winnings, not expecting to find a man in a cylinder.
The leader of the gang furious at the wasted effort decided to empty several clips into the pod itself, without being able to damage the visible shell of the unit the gang left not knowing that the ricochet of bullets had damaged the control unit to the rear of the pod.
Castiel awoke to find nothing but death and disorder, the dreams he had been dreaming whilst in statis it seemed were all but true.
Awakening away from the military and scientific personnel could not have felt better and Castiel marvelled in the new world he had been set free upon. A world full of humans waiting to be slaughtered and a military force that was doomed from the first breath he took as a free man.
Castiel has since avoided the paths of other Destrillians, he had been pleasantly surprised on his first chance encounter with another from the programme. Curiosity getting to him he followed an unfamiliar face from a local takeaway to a run down set of flats, reading the energy signature inside Castiel knew that another Destrillian was inside.
Standing in the street all Castiel could hear was the commotion that was common place between those of his kind, grinning menacingly he walked away leaving the others to rip each other apart while he set to find himself his own home.
Along the way changing his appearance to incorporate the human persona of tattoo’s as well as arming himself with medium length twin katanas that he often hides under the long white sleeves of his top choosing only to use them when his fists aren’t enough to get a message across.
