Character & Canon Name: Michael (Hazbin Hotel OC)
Character Age: Geriatric to the umpteenth degree. The phrase older than dirt was created for him
Canon Info: Hazbin Hotel

Personality: On first glance, he may come off as a snobbish know-it-all but he’s been around since the beginning of everything. He’s had the same laws beaten into his head so completely that he follows them like a lost child and can’t bring himself to deviate from them. But he is wise enough to investigate if something seems off (like sending people to Hell for what can be attributed to petty crimes, or casting an angel out for committing a crime they weren’t even aware they could commit.) and isn’t afraid of the repercussions of getting caught doing it.

Him and Lucifer are ridiculously alike on some fronts (genuinely caring about their respective sides and wanting to help souls) but polar opposites on others. Where Lucifer is chaotic, impulsive, cheeky and emotional, Michael is orderly, forbearing, calm, and stoic—to an obsessive degree. He hasn’t cried since he had to judge Lucifer. He would be the type of person to keep his hotel room immaculate and flip out (using his inside voice) if he saw housekeeping cherubs rooting through it. His obsessive-compulsive tendencies tend to bleed into every aspect of his life. If he saw an untidy space, the likelihood that he would drop everything to fix it is high. On that same note, he often does things not because he is being meddlesome or thinks he knows better, but because he genuinely thinks he is being helpful. No one questions him in Heaven and he’s spent virtually no time with humans, so he doesn’t understand boundaries.

While still kind, he was much more lighthearted when he was younger, the Fall stripped him of his twin and his ability to properly connect with people. As the one responsible for judging souls, he tends to disconnect to ensure that he remains both unbiased and doesn’t have to dwell on the fact that he’s had to turn souls away because of archaic laws. He questions them but follows them like the dutiful angel he is because it’s the reason he was created. Without a purpose, he would be forced to sit back and let his doubt consume him. Along with carrying out his judgment, he is also the Sword of God and takes pride in protecting his home, though he is rarely the first one to make a move. If something can be resolved peacefully, he will try diplomacy first.

Other tidbits: he is a workaholic, has the patience of a saint and, unlike his other esteemed colleagues, he doesn't hate Sinners. Exterminations actually horrify him but, to ensure the safety of Heaven's denizens and other human souls, he's chosen to grin and bear it. Knowing that redemption is possible now, the likelihood that he will take a stand is guaranteed.

Power Summary: Being Lucifer’s twin, it stands to reason that he also has a plethora of abilities at his disposal though, rather than steeped in creation, his strictly come in handy on the battlefield. Along with being able to conjure up portals, alter his appearance and fly, the skill he is most valued for is his battle prowess as Heaven’s champion. He is able to think quickly on his feet and formulate strategic plans of attack with virtually no notice, though he prefers knowing things ahead of time.

His arsenal includes various styles of hand-to-hand combat, he is adept with various weapons and takes to new ones quickly. His weapon of choice is his sword, which he can call upon on a whim, that burns brightly with holy flames that can used effectively against demons. As one of the first angels, it would take a great deal of damage to kill him but he knows he isn’t invincible—unlike the Exorcists.

Like his brother, he can also shift into his true form in moments of crisis. It's a cross between a biblically accurate angel with an army of eerie eyes and an armor-clad human. Pulling from the idea that justice is be blind, his eyes are obscured by something like a blindfold and it's the eyes that float around his head that he uses to see with. His wrists are also bound by the chains from the Scales of Judgment.

Heaven or Hell? Heaven.
