Biography

"You don’t know what it’s like to do what I’ve done… and suddenly to discover one morning that you care. Honestly, I hope you never do. "

―Liam discussing Angelus with Katanas DeValle

In a world of darkness and light, things in the light are often oblivious to the other side; the darkness which follows the light's every move. So, it is a shock that a being can exist that is both light and dark; a vampire, trying to atone for the sins of his past.

Liam’s past is that of the Scourge of Dollet Angelus. History records him as being Dollet’s reaper; a beast which wrought the death toll that brought hundreds to their grave. His infamy was worldwide until the day when his name reached the doorstep of the Estharian Grand Council, which immediately set in motion to stop his actions which were bringing Dollet to its knees. And within days, his punishment was complete. He never saw the faces of the people who cursed him with a soul that fateful day.

He escaped that day, and didn’t return to Dollet for years to come, choosing to live out his days in Centra. He spent day in and day out repenting for the sins of the Scourge, and was approached ten years after the cursing of his soul by a young man who identified himself as Will. He offered a chance to work for a deity, one who was interested in his well being. Will mentioned to him that this deity was highly impressed at the steps he was willing to undertake to atone for the sins of his past. After a short meeting with Freya, Odin, and Xeios, the latter two being impressed with the sincerity that the vampire was answering each of the Creator’s questions.

With her two advisers' (unnecessary) blessing, Liam was given the title of Planeswalker of the 19th order. And thusly began the beginning of his journey.

Following directives given to him by the deity, and going by the directives that he himself felt he had to follow, he became a champion of the Ethereal Plane; a warrior truly blessed and trusted by the creator. With this came benefits bestowed upon him in the years following. The largest benefit came only a year after his induction into the 19th order when she bestowed upon him the ability to walk in the light. For the first time since his Siring fifty-one years previous, he was able to watch the sunrise and walk amongst humans. Along with this ability, he was also given the ability to handle holy items which would help him years later. For the first time, he truly felt as if he wasn’t the cursed vampire, but the Vayash Moru that his “race” was titled. It was during this time that he was first given the nickname "Angel" by an unnamed Ethereal being, as he seemed to be ready to assist in any matter that he could, both Ethereal and not.

Things continued along this path for many years after, Liam continuing to gain favor with Freya and respect in the Ethereal Plane… but with that respect came a price; one he wasn’t aware of, nor was he prepared for.

A Pillar of Reality was jealous of his position and reputation, and was aware of where he resided in the Mortal Plane. A clandestine meeting with a certain general of the Centran forces brought about a plan to assist both of them. While the General’s plans for Centra would be carried out by his forces, a certain scourge from the past would assist in bringing him the popularity he would require to assume leadership of Centra.

Fifty-three years after the Estharian Council’s curse took hold, during the coup d'état that would result in the Lunar Cry destroying the Centran culture, the Scourge of Dollet reappeared; a hex on his soul preventing it from stopping his most base instincts to kill and feed.

Hours before the catastrophe that would ruin Centra forever took place however, Will once again appeared. This time, his purpose was simple; to reverse the hex that his sister had placed on Liam. He was successful, and Liam only requested one thing of the Erudite which was the removal of his memory from that time. Will complied, and Liam moved on with his life, continuing to follow the directives of the Creator.

The years passed once again without any incidents, until such a point when Liam took an investigation on regarding a weapons manufacturing company in the nation of Galbadia. Certain practices and a possible trade agreement with a new company in Esthar caused him to turn an eye of suspicion upon Videlic Arms and Vector Industries. While he could find no fault in Vector Industries beyond the mysterious identity of the proprietor, Videlic’s leadership seemed to be committing acts that were dangerous not only to the company’s image (which Liam wasn’t interested in), but the Galbadian nation itself. He confirmed what evidence he found, and made the hardest decision he’d made in some time.

He confronted President U’Dashika, as well as his son regarding evidence that he’d discovered that linked them to supplying weapons that were used in crimes in countries around the world. Neither could deny it, but instead tried to quash him into silence; first by bribes, then by trying to kill him. As a result, he was forced to kill both, when it became apparent that his life would be at stake, and that they would not stop their actions. At the time, he was unaware that he had left the heir to the company, Takomashi alive, which he didn’t learn for quite some time.

A few years passed, and he got word during his travels of an organization recently founded which was looking to hire a few extra hands to work on getting things off the ground. While they were looking for significantly younger people, Liam took a gamble and explained everything about himself, including his nature as a Vayash Moru, and a Planeswalker to Cid Kramer who was in charge of the organization. With a few agreements in place, Cid agreed to allow Liam to join as a full member of SeeD after a demonstration of his combat abilities.

At first, he did a great deal of instructing, however, it was later realized that his style and that of the rest of the teaching staff differed greatly. By his own choice, he stepped down from instructing, choosing to be a field officer. He continued that throughout the Sorceress Conflict, until he transferred from Balamb Garden to Trabia Garden under direct and highly influenced request by Headmaster DeValle. He was an instructor of the combat division for a short time until another was hired to work in his stead. He returned to field work at that point, still continuing the balance his SeeD duties as well as his duties to the Plane.

During the first two months, he grew closer to people that worked there, including the Garden Commander, Katanas DeValle, and knew that the boy considered him a mentor, as well as a friend. He kept an eye on Katanas’ studies, as he had realized quite early that he, his youngest brother, and his father were all Planeswalkers.

Liam continued on this path until March of 2152, where at the behest of Freya, he went to the Tenth Realm’s Spira to meet and test the abilities of a potential Planeswalker...

Personality

Angel, despite (and perhaps because) of the burden of his past, is easy-going; a master conversationalist. He makes and keeps friends easily and because of that, he has resources all across the Mortal Plane. Beyond that, he is protective of his wife, Yuna Kaname, those he considers friends second, those who serve under him in Garden third.

Combat Information

"Make no mistake. You won’t get through me, nor will you kill me. "

―Liam Bayloh during battle

Angel is a focused fighter, knowing his abilities and knowing how to press others to their limits. Primarily a melee fighter, he uses his pulse rifles, his blade Atma, as well as his Diviner, Peacemaker in equal amounts. This allows him a truly unpredictable way of fighting.

• Master Swordsmanship Specialist: As a Guardian with over two hundred years of blade experience, Angel specializes with larger swords. However, he isn't afraid, nor is he unskilled with smaller blades.

• Skilled Rifle Specialist: Honing his aim, Angel has become an expert with rifles, skilled in melee range especially. He has increased his skill especially over the last ten years, allowing him to use two rifles easily in battle.

• Exceptional Strength: Because of his status as a Vayash Moru, Angel has incredible strength; much more than any mortal man. He uses this strength in addition to his techniques allowing for a unique style of fighting.

• Exceptional Agility: While not as fast as some, his agility allows him incredible movement in battle.

• Great Spiritual Energy: Angel has a formidable amount of spiritual power, enough to remain in battle for great lengths of time. He is not against using bursts of reiatsu to attract an enemy to him and has been seen doing so on a few separate occasions.

• Skilled Magic User: While not relying heavily on it, Angel is a versed mage, allowing him to use spells in difficult situations.

Other

Angel doesn’t generally rely on the special abilities that he has, choosing to use the weapons on hand. However, he does have a powerful arsenal of other special abilities should he choose to use them. Sometimes as desperation moves, but he is not above a bit of showing off when he feels it is appropriate.

• Desperado: Angel jumps into the air and unleashes the fury with two pulse rifles. Normally using a rope or chain, he is also known to use higher ground to pull off a similar ability depending on the circumstances.

• Inverse: An enemy is covered in white energy which will explode moments later.

• Kyuuten no Kanshiki: Angel causes a gate to appear above the enemy targets. The gate is locked, however, moments after appearing; the lock itself breaks and sends a supernova of light towards all enemy targets. After that, Angel will grab an enemy target, tossing them at the gate, which causes it to shatter, the fragments exploding as they hit the ground. One of his most powerful attacks; and because of that Angel doesn’t use it often.

• Spire: Angel slams a blade into an enemy target and casts Thundara on the blade.

• Swords of Heaven: Both swords act as wings and lift Angel in the air where he slices through the air creating shockwaves capable of hitting single or multiple targets.

Diviner

After his adventures in Soul Society, Angel was gifted with a Diviner by the name of Peacemaker. The Diviner takes the form of a claymore. Since receiving the blade, he has released both its Shikai and Bankai abilities.

• Shikai: Peacemaker glows bright green. It is activated by the command "mediate" (kaisuru).

Shikai Special Ability: In its initial release, Peacemaker, upon striking an enemy, dispels any Enchantments. Whenever it removes an Enchantment in this way, it converts that Enchantment into magic damage that cuts into the target, burning away Mana.

• Bankai: Named Hagemu Peacemaker (Zealous Peacemaker). Its release command is "bring about justice" (motarasu koumeiseidai). Peacemaker becomes a solid black double weapon, a glowing-green axe on each end. In addition, it can split into three sections, connected by a lengthy chain. Angel gains a set of form-fitting black armor and matching cloak in this form.

Bankai Special Ability: In its final release, when split into three sections, the command "judge" (hanji) causes the axes to glow with greater intensity and the chain to lengthen, allowing for inward cleaves with enough force to cut through even full plate with fair ease. It also allows for ranged sweeping strikes.

The Scourge of Dollet

Though sealed with the cursing of his soul, the plague that once terrorized Dollet for so many years is never to be dismissed as fallacy . While the Scourge is immediately rejected by both his Diviner and previously the Atma Weapon, he is a force to never be taken lightly. His speed is second to none in the Mortal Plane and his agility allows him to dodge around attacks that others may not. His strength is wicked, easily able to tear into unsuspecting opponents. His sadism is legendary; breaking even the strongest willed opponents into quivering wrecks under his constant torment.

All of this in one package creates a most fearsome opponent, should the soul ever be released.

• Dark Wings of Angels: Angel grows a single black wing, which ups his strength, speed, and intelligence. The wing also can act as a shield, batting away attacks that stray too close to him.
