Azrael
CharacterGravity itself is Azrael's weapon. Invented for the tabletop game Decisive Battle in Tokyo-3 within the Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG line, this Angel carries the symbol of the Angel of Death and a name meaning Help of God, and it swims into battle wearing a body shaped like a colossal sperm cell.
Appearance
Azrael's build sets it apart from every other Angel. The overall shape calls a sperm cell to mind: up top sits the mass the game designates its head, a bulb pitted with crater-like hollows, while below trails a long flagellum that looks assembled from multiple Sachiel masks fused end to end in a chain. Midway along the body, at the point where head gives way to tail, six encircling ribs cage the otherwise exposed core.
Personality
The game assigns Azrael no psyche of its own, letting iconography deliver the menace instead. Its Hebrew-derived name translates as Help of God, and the RPG attaches the Angel of Death as its emblem, framing any encounter with the creature as a brush against mortality itself.
Abilities
A standard A.T. Field covers the basics, but Azrael's real threat is gravitational: it bends the pull of gravity around a target and lets the resulting crushing forces do devastating work. The mask-chain flagellum, meanwhile, drives the creature through its environment.
