Name: Hawk
Are you 18 or over?: Yes
Other characters played: n/a
CHARACTER
Name: Thomas Hawkins (with special guest star Alice Silverman)
Canon: Original (Tarnishedverse)
Age: claims he's about 2,013 years old, but he's actually closer to 12,500.
History: Once upon a time, there were two gods, an ice dragon and a fire dragon. They were husband and wife and loved each other greatly, but the two of them disagreed on how to deal with humanity. The fire dragon wanted to tightly control their progress to the point of a deity dictatorship while the ice dragon wanted to let humanity progress naturally with them only steppping in to make sure they don't destroy each other. They were at a stalemate until the ice dragon finally decided to do something to knock some sense into her husband and get him to realize that his way was kinda terrible for everyone involved. So she took two of their dragon children and turned them into cannibalistic beasts that attacked their father and other siblings. The fire dragon reacted in an unexpected manner to this: he confronted his wife and ripped out her soul. When her soul was removed, it shattered in half and the fire dragon was only able to keep a hold of the one half of it.
The other half of her soul created a host for itself, the first angel Thomas Hawkins. It was from the energy of his creation that all other angels were created, beings of emotion with only half of a soul. For the first fifty years of their existence, they were monsters, unable to control their powerful emotions and spread across the world, attacking anything that was stupid enough to stand against them. Then they finally were able to pull in their emotions and control themselves, making strong personalities to keep themselves from losing control once again. There was one angel who didn't though. Because of the difference between himself and the others, Thomas was still a mindless monster and couldn't get control of himself. The other angels decided to capture their oldest brother and lock him up in a hole underground until he could control himself. What they ended up doing was pretty much leave him to rot and hope everything sorted itself out. Of all the angels, only one of them would visit Thomas during his imprisonment: his twin brother Shaw, the angel of joy. It was with Shaw's help that Thomas finally gained control of himself
Point in canon: Spring 2012, after he's been abducted by a cult
Window Location: In a fairy ring located in a northern Wisconsin forest
Universe: What would happen universe was created by two scientists and they were somehow dragged into it and woven into the very fabric of spacetime of that new universe?
They would make themselves gods, attempt to create Earth into a better place than their old one, and end up making a hot mess of things when one of them decides to be a dick about godhood when trying to make humanity into what he wants it to be and tries killing his fellow deity because she tried to stop him in the worst possible way.
Because of the Creator (the dickish god) trying to play Barbie with the world, the British Empire survives past World War II at nearly full strength, supernatural and mythological creatures exist, and the United States was never colonized by the British thanks to the intervention of the gods and a small army of mentally unstable fairies helping out the native population with the whole not dying of disease thing and not having better weapons. And the United States now speaks French, calls itself the United Nations of North America, and is isolationist to the point that their technology is on a completely different level from the rest of the world.
Let's also not forget that the apocalypse has nearly happened at least once, a crazy cult has sprung up to try bringing back to life the second god, and that god's children are trying to cockblock the Creator and his children from causing even more damage to the world than they already have. Oh and there are organizations that exist across the world to either keep humanity safe from the non-humans or just outright slaughter the non-humans because lol what is living peacefully with each other humanity is superior to you freaks.
Abilities:
Possessions:
Personality: Thomas is quite a strange creature. Like the other angels, he is a being of emotion and represents the negative aspects of human emotions. Greed, hatred, lying, murder; you name it, Thomas has it. What makes him so strange is the fact that he can only feel and express these negative emotions.
The majority of whatever positive emotions, such as his maternal instincts and familial closeness stem from the subtle influence Alice's soul has had on him while he has been her host. It's because of this that Thomas stays close to the angels that have shunned him for being a monster compared to them, though he is not nearly as close to them as he is to his twin, the only one of his siblings who has never treated him as someone to be afraid of nor has ever abandoned him.

Notes:
DÆMON
Name: Senka
Sex: Female
Form: Golden Jackal/Gyrfalcon griffin
Additional notes:
Why this form: The golden jackal half is meant to represent Benjamin Chamberlain, the other "missing" half of Thomas' soul, and Thomas himself. Both halves are closely associated with death and the afterlife as they are the the gatekeeper and ruler of the afterlife itself, not to mention the fact that Benjamin was a werejackal during his punishment. Jackals have been used to represent loneliness and abandonment, something that Thomas has lived with for most of his life. They also tend to either stay in small packs or go alone, which is a mirror to how Thomas only got close to a rare few during his long life and tends to be a loner when he has the chance to be. Golden Jackals are oddly enough from a different branch of canids than the other jackals, which works for Thomas in that on the surface, he seems like the rest of his angelic siblings, but in actuality is something quite different from them.
