In the past, Rasputin opened a portal that connected our world to the Netherworld in hopes of bringing about the Apocalypse. By doing so, he managed to open the world to a force unimaginable by mankind. Unfortunately for Rasputin, his plans were foiled by the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense (The B.P.R.D.), along with it's golden boy Hellboy.
Because of this event, and the gate that was never supposed to be opened, the emergence of supernatural beings occurred on Earth, allowing both demons and angels to live in the realm of man. Hidden in plain sight. While both the angels and the demons have decided to remain hidden in human form, and remain hidden from humans, they have both formed organizations.
Angels belong to Opus Dei, led by archangel Gabriel (Alias: Gabriel Blanche) who desires to help on the mission to defend humans from the demons. He is a committed and well respected leader who has a genuine love for his cause. Opus Dei has members all around the world, but its main base is located in Viale Bruno Buozzi (Rome, Italy). The base is currently operated by the lower-ranked angels to cover the tracks of the activist unit, led by Gabriel. Gabriel's forces currently reside in New York.
However, their Main Headquarters in Italy often serves as a meeting location and strategic base. It is important to realize that not all angels agree with their leader Gabriel, and some prefer the controversial methods of Raphael, the second in command. While Gabriel genuinely loves his work and takes pride in helping others: Raphael is indifferent to the cause, and feels the sins of humans have gone unpunished long enough. He believes the demon infestation is a sign from God that Judgement day is coming, and believes the humans must repent. He suggests allowing the demons to have their way with humans, as they are a plague mankind brought upon themselves.
Raphael remains loyal to Gabriel, for now, but is gathering loyalties of his own to rise against Opus Dei and claim leadership of the angels to make a new order: The order of letting humans learn the hard way. His philosophy: Judgement day is coming anyway.
ADMINISTRATOR NOTE: Angels are not permitted to join the BPRD because Opus Dei is all ready an ally - So by proxy Opus Dei is all ready a correspondent of the BPRD. Wings are given to only Raphael & Gabriel, even then they are generally hidden. Canon list characters may add more 'winged' members at a later date.
Please remember to review the ability guide for what powers they are allowed, before just making one up. Thank you!
Race loyalties (For application purposes): Gabriel or Raphael
