A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

[Canon] Enoch || El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron || No Reserve

[heavenlyscribe]

CHARACTER
Name: Enoch
Canon: El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
Timeline: After the end of the game
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

In life, Enoch pleased God well enough that he was taken to Heaven before experiencing a mortal death. Serving as a scribe on the Council of Elders, he was chosen for his pure, strong heart and descended to Earth in pursuit of the Grigori, a group of fallen angels, as an arbiter to prevent a plan to flood the Earth from going forward.

He is a kind and caring man appearing far younger than he is, with a strong faith in life, himself, and others. His bravery and selflessness is demonstrated during Chapter Seven of El Shaddai, when he dives into The Darkness in an attempt to save Nanna, a little girl who had been following him. He is generous, sincere in his words and deeds and unfalteringly loyal, even to a fault. Despite all of this, however, Enoch carries a great deal of conflict in his heart, shown when he is recovering from the vileness which had infected his body after his descent into The Darkness and subsequent rescue by the fallen angel Armaros. Only through reliving his past battles did he once more reconcile with his purpose and his Mission, returning to Earth again in order to complete it.

Confident, bold and courageous, Enoch is adept at taking orders but also (much to Lucifel’s constant despair) possesses a reckless streak and a tendency to occasionally simply not do as he is told. This self-direction inevitably leads him into trouble, as he will, without even pausing to think on it, risk his life for an innocent and run fearlessly into battle despite overwhelming odds. Stubborn and strong-willed, Enoch does not know the meaning of the word ‘quit’, and will continue to press onwards towards his goals even when it doesn’t seem possible to reach them.

Being from a different time, and then spending many years in Heaven, there are many things about the modern world that he is unaware of. However, he is a very quick study – shown by his taking a very short time to learn how to ride a motorcycle during Chapter Six (to the point where he could deftly fight while riding it and retain his balance while skidding beneath enemies and obstacles).

A pious, righteous man, he is patient, and not easily driven to anger, but woe betide anyone who pushes him far enough to have it directed upon them.

First Person:

[It is the squeak of the train’s brakes that wakes him, and Enoch sits up quickly, reaching for a weapon and finding none. He frowns, and looks out of the window into the darkness beyond, touching his fingers gently to the glass.

It isn’t long before he feels the inexorable urge to leave the carriage, but even then his curiosity about the train doesn’t waver, and he walks up the length of the station, crouching to run his fingertips over the top of one of the wheels]

Interesting.

[He mutters it, then straightens and turns to read the posters plastered up on the wall opposite. Ruby City? Was this something else that the Grigori had created?]


Third Person:

Over his time in Heaven, the scribe had become used to the strange things that Lucifel would bring back from his travels through the development of human civilisation, but this was certainly new.

What had Lucifel meant by giving him these things, anyway? Enoch scratched one fingernail over the strange fabric of the trousers he had been gifted with. What had he called them… jeans? He supposed that they were easier to move in than a robe but it certainly took some getting used to. Nearby, said Archangel was watching him with barely disguised amusement, one hand near his mouth to cover his smile.

“You might have just given them to me. I can dress myself, you know,” he said, referring to the way in which the jeans had, rather than being put in his hand, simply been placed on his person.

“It’s faster like this. They feel nice, don’t they?”

Enoch scratched at the fabric again. “What was wrong with what I was wearing before?”

“These offer better protection.” Lucifel gave a small, dismissive gesture and smiled. “What’s wrong? Don’t you trust me?”

He paused, and took a good look at the other male’s face, measuring his words carefully as he spoke again, slowly running his thumb around the inside of the top of the jeans, getting used to the feeling of it. “Is that a trick question?”

“Do I look like I’d trick you?”

“… That’s definitely a trick question.”

Lucifel just chuckled and turned away as his phone began to ring, and Enoch rolled his eyes. Angels…
