Personnel File
}Personality
Apathetic Cheer
Israfel is always smiling and goes about with an amiable, affable attitude. In truth, this is just how he's learned to interact positively with others. Israfel doesn’t really experience emotions in the same way that other people do. His training has completely muted all emotional responses, leaving him as an unfeeling being, completely prepared to do whatever he views he must.
Foxlike Cunning
Early in life, Isra learned that it was sometimes best to keep one’s strengths concealed. Despite seeming like an affable buffoon content to simply follow orders to the letter, Israfel is actually anything but. He’s exceptionally cunning and can lay plans that take years to come to completion. He’s patient, exceptionally smart, and more than a little devious in spite of the way he presents himself.
Superior Contrarian
Despite his persona of the perfect yes-man do-good soldier, Israfel actually believes himself to be better than most of his peers. He hates being given orders especially, and will do anything and everything in his power to maliciously comply with them. He even looks down on the Celestial Dragons, the Creators’ descendents, but would never do anything to actually harm or disrespect them. He sees himself and his fellow Cherubim as the last true servants of the Creators, and therefore, are only one step removed from their divinity.
Distant Sentiment
Though Israfel does not feel deeply, his connections to other people matter to him very much. He cares in his own way about the people that he’s close to. He’s not very good at expressing his true emotions, so he often gives gifts instead of using words. He doesn’t particularly care if he is rejected or misunderstood. It will not change the way that he cares for those he’s close to.
Curious Hedonist
With his lack of a real childhood, Israfel views the world as sparkling, new, and full of curiosities. He has an eagerness and willingness to try anything and everything, even if it seems childish. He doesn’t care what other people think of him so long as he’s enjoying himself. He has a particular fondness for games and gardening.
Appearance
Israfel stands at 6’3” (191cm) tall. He has a rather slender, graceful build. His long hair is a golden blonde and sparkles in sunlight. His eyes are a striking ruby red. His skin is fair and unblemished despite his harsh life and training. His muscles are well defined. His wardrobe is fairly simple. He has his Cipher Pol uniform, a white suit and slacks with a white shirt and black tie. He also has the clothes he prefers, a white robe trimmed with gold, a navy blue long sleeved shirt with a high collar, and fitted slacks and black shoes.

Angelic Host
Focus: Devil Fruit, Rokushiki
Description:
Israfel’s fighting style revolves around complete and utter dominance with his Devil Fruit. He prefers to keep things more subtle if he can help it, though, and will usually opt for a more discreet style of fighting first. He’s proficient in martial arts as well as armed combat. He’s learned the fundamentals of Rokushiki, allowing him to employ his body as a weapon, something he finds is usually more than enough to deal with the common riff raff.

Flying Slashes
Being a member of Cipher Pol, Israfel has taken the time to at least learn one of the Six Powers. The one that captivated his interest was Rankyaku, the mastery of which allowed him to generate flying slashes from sweeping any part of his body. Traditionally done with kicks, Israfel can launch flying slashes off from any part of his body, though the size of the slash varies depending on the body part.

Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Cherub
}The Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Cherub resembles a goldenberry. A leafy husk surrounds the shining, golden fruit within. A singular swirl decorates the smooth surface of the smooth and round goldenberry. The leafy husk’s veins swirl akin to the trademark pattern of all Devil Fruits and is slightly translucent.
Full Beast Form
Tier ★
Imperviousness
The Devil Fruit user assumes the form of the mythical Cherub. The true form of the Cherub has been called indescribable. Radiating a blinding light, the Cherub is a shifting mass of animalistic shapes, notably, bird-like, ox-like, lion-like, and human-like features seem to fluctuate. An abundance of eyes dot their form, delineated from the rest of the light by being a color instead of white and golden like the rest of their body. Eyes made of light float detached from their body like mirages. Four shining wings sprout from their form, enabling flight, as well as bovine legs and a tail. A halo is formed from two horns that curl around the Devil Fruit user’s head. In this form, the Devil Fruit is impervious to all harm, seeming to absorb any attacks that would seek to pass through or harm the Cherub.
Hybrid Form
Tier ★
Strength
The Devil Fruit user assumes a combination of their mythical Cherub and original forms, emitting a softer light so as to make their features clearly distinguishable and visible. Eyes made of light can form and float detached from the Devil Fruit user’s body like mirages. Israfel’s legs transform to become more bovine, and he sprouts a bovine tail that drapes down to his feet. He can sheath and unsheath four wings of light from his back, enabling flight. Illusory images of an ox, eagle, and a lion made of light fluctuate in and around his head, sometimes overlapping with his face like a mask. This form enhances Israfel’s inherent strength, allowing him to lift incredible weights and perform feats of strength that no ordinary person could hope to accomplish. Two brass horns sprout from Israfel’s head, forming a halo.
Divine Eminence
Tier ★
All-Consuming Radiance
The mythical Cherub emits a blinding light that destroys all it touches. The light burns painlessly, vaporizing whatever it touches. The Devil Fruit user can direct and control the intensity of their radiance from a slight stinging sensation afterwards to completely vaporizing their surroundings. This intensity can also be tied to their emotions, making an unstable Devil Fruit user extremely dangerous to be near for friend and foe alike. Those that escape this all-consuming light will feel their burns only after completely shielded from it. The mythical Cherub can also restore those they have obliterated in this manner as long as some part of them remains.
Miraculous Blessing
Tier ★
Healing Waters
By touching any liquid or body of water, the Devil Fruit user may bless it and purify it into holy water. This holy water created by the Devil Fruit is capable of healing all wounds and poisons almost instantly and shimmers with a cyan light that ripples into gold when in motion. Those that fall into holy water cannot drown and will be able to breathe normally, but Devil Fruit users will still find themselves subject to their curse within these holy waters.
Guise of Darkness
Tier ★
Shapeshifting (People)
The mythical Cherub may absorb darkness and shadow from their surroundings, using it to cloak their radiant light. They transform the darkness into an alternate appearance for themselves, using the darkness to fill in or obfuscate any bulk necessary. They can appear as someone else, a flawless reproduction, at least until their radiance burns through the disguise. How long they can maintain the guise is solely based on how well they can control the intensity of their light.
Angelic Arsenal
Tier ★
Radiance Constructs
Israfel has honed the abilities of his Devil Fruit in order to form solid constructs from the mythical Cherub’s all-consuming radiance. This solidified radiance is extremely intense, capable of erasing whatever it touches or touches it from existence. Israfel can make a variety of things from weapons to structures.

Background
}Israfel was born as part of a World Government project to create a generation of soldiers with absolute and complete loyalty to a singular group, the First Twenty, otherwise known as the Creators. He and his siblings were taught that the world was chaos before the First Twenty, and that the First Twenty created order and stability across the entire world. In their infinite wisdom, the First Twenty allowed those that refused to join the new world order to fester in the violence and chaos that had pervaded the world prior, serving as a reminder of how the world used to be. They were also taught that the Creators continue to watch over the world to this day, shepherding it toward the light. They were taught that, one day, the great chaos would begin anew, and the unfaithful punished by the return of the Creators.
The Creators became akin to gods for Israfel and his siblings, and days began and ended with worship to statues of these figures. Harsh training began as soon as the children were fit and able. They were put through a strict and accelerated schooling program. They exercised in a grueling regimen daily, performing mock combat scenarios as a type of game. Due to his excellent scores in both academics and physical training, Israfel was selected along with a select number of his other siblings to partake in an advanced training course. This course was, in actuality, a long series of experiments to further enhance the most promising of child soldiers.
Israfel and his siblings were assessed by their individual strengths and weaknesses and were selected to obtain Devil Fruits of each classification. One of his siblings received a Zoan class fruit. Another received an Ancient Zoan class fruit. Another would receive a Paramecia, and so on. All fruits had been cataloged and identified in advance so there would be no mistakes. Israfel was chosen to receive the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Cherub, a Mythical Zoan class fruit, based on his top scores.
Humbled and grateful for this blessing, Israfel, of course, ate it without question. This, however, unfortunately led to an incident in which he accidentally killed and injured some of his siblings with the use of his new ability. Fortunately for the program, none of his fellow ‘Angels’ as they came to be called were harmed. Israfel was immediately separated from the others and given individualized training on keeping his emotions in check and how to best utilize his abilities. The incident did not repeat itself as Israfel became much more emotionally distant and aloof toward his siblings. This led to them largely avoiding him until the program overseers stepped in once again to teach Israfel how to mimic emotions and act as necessary for any mission.
Once Israfel and the rest of the first generation of soldiers became teenagers, they were deemed ready for field missions. These missions were harsh and extremely dangerous. Only Israfel and the rest of the ‘Angels’ survived their initial set of missions. This led overseers to scale back the difficulty and danger of said missions for future operations. The ‘Angels’ became an elite group in the program, looked up to by the other, younger children, which the overseers capitalized on as much as possible. Israfel and his fellow ‘Angels’ instructed their younger siblings, giving them advice and making them into more capable soldiers.
Israfel felt a certain connection with all of his siblings despite his lack of apparent emotion, and would always go out of his way to ensure that they too were always smiling - but legitimately - instead of Israfel’s perfectly manufactured smile. The overseers decided to test if this bond would potentially hamper or distract Israfel by arranging it so that one of his siblings appeared to die. When that yielded no response, they ordered Israfel to kill one of his younger siblings. He complied with the order instantly, only stopping at the last moment when the overseers ordered him to. He was the perfect soldier in their eyes.
Carrying out more and more missions as he approached adulthood, the overseers deemed the ‘Angels’ ready to enter the final phases of the program. The Cherubim, as the subjects of the experiment came to be called, would be deployed into various organizations and governments in order to infiltrate and root out dissidents and those who refused the Creators’ grace. Israfel was selected to join Cipher Pol and given the assignment to weed out any spies or internal corruption while progressing through the ranks and reaching a position in CP0. Things didn’t quite go to plan, however, as Israfel was assigned to an incompetent director who often gave Israfel assignments that he was extremely poorly suited for.
Israfel, for his part, was in no particular rush either. Freedom from the oppressive oversight of the Cherubim experiment overseers was something of a novelty for him. The world was immense and filled with things that he’d never had the opportunity to experience. He’d shirk his duties to go to plays. He’d wander through the wilderness and get lost. He especially loved gardening and was quite taken with examining local flora wherever he went. Even the most mundane of things held a special curiosity to him, from spending money to buying food and cooking for himself. He still carried out his orders to the latter, but much more of his time was spent enjoying the world of the Creators that he’d heard so much about as a child.
Years passed without significant results as Israfel grew more and more distracted. His siblings also delivered mixed results. The Cherubim were declared failures and abandoned in favor of a new project dubbed Seraphim. The children without assignments were told to simply join the Marines or Cipher Pol when they came of age and were left in an orphanage on a World Government controlled island. Israfel would often visit them and bring them gifts from the outside world. The reception was mixed, especially because Israfel had a large hand in crushing their dreams of being the World Government’s perfect elite fighting force, but Israfel preferred them safe than soldiers. He would keep this world safe and protect it from those who would seek to disrupt order.
