21: Angel, but really

And after an Antichrist... The closest the Buffyverse has come to an actual angel was in season four of, er, Angel, and she was a whole lot of trouble. But we’ve had a few supernatural forces for good in the setting, and there are plenty of angelic types in urban fantasy, so...

Since this is the kind of character you can go way over the top with, I made a ridiculously powerful version a while back, but here’s a starting Hero level. She can’t fly, for one thing. Like Granite, she can use Acrobatics for “falling with style”.

I gave her Initiative Commando because some kind of badass training and obligation seemed appropriate.

I pushed up her uncertainty about why she’s here, inspired by Relics.

The Spear Of The Dawn

Type: Hero

Skyler Samuels

Description: Eyes like a sunrise, hair like a shampoo commercial

Example quote: “I do not know why I am here. That gives me something in common with humanity, I suppose.”

“Spear” is, or was, a warrior of the Powers The Be. She isn’t sure why she’s earthbound, maybe it’s something she did but she’s pretty sure she would remember being cast out and falling. But anyway, this world is choking with demons. And some of the kids trying to stop them seem nice. Especially... okay, she never used to think about mortals like that.
