SUP MAH PONES, it's Bliss here with a promise to post more with Joshua a brand new character from a tabletop game. Unlike my last tabletop game character, this one is canonical to his setting - one of the Archangels from Steve Jackson's game In Nomine, about a celestial cold war between heaven and hell.
This is Laurence, the Archangel of the Sword. He literally invented knighthood in shining armor in his setting, being the celestial manifestation of honorable and disciplined combat in warfare.
He also really needs a hug.
Two minor permission notes:
1: His setting coincides with the Real World except where otherwise noted, and one of his major enemies is the Demon Prince of the Media. Basically what I'm saying is PM me or post here to opt in to minor canon puncture, especially if your canon has religious themes and is thereby controversialALEPH.
2: HE CAN SEE INTO YOUR SOUL. No, seriously; he has the ability to weigh you, and measure you, and know you by what you consider your most and least honorable moments. Any time he would use this power, I'll mention it in thread. If you have mental defenses or just want him to fail his Perception check, let me know when I do!

Short version: Ashera and Yune were once one being, Ashunera. Ashunera got pissed when people started fighting, so she flooded the world when her emotions spun out of control. In her grief, she split into Ashera, the embodiment of order, stability, and law, and Yune, chaos and emotion, and sealed Yune away, going into slumber until Yune was reawakened.
Unfortunately, they were awakened during war, so Ashera decided she was going to judge the entire continent, and turn everyone to stone. Only a select remnant with very high strength of will/spirit remained untouched, and Nephenee was one of them. They then went to the Tower of Guidance, and kicked Ashera's butt, Ike striking the finishing blow.
As far as Neph knows, Yune is in charge, though it is possibly they merged back into Ashunera. She's fairly spiritual and religious, doing prayers for the souls of the lost, but she also might be a bit unsure about that whole thing cause, ya know, defeating a goddess...for the time being, she still follows the ways she was taught, replacing Yune with Ashera as needed. I don't know if that will continue or flux, though. I know there are angels and demons mentioned in canon, though whether they function the same is unclear. They do follow the idea of good/evil, though. She also believes in heaven and, thanks to Bertie, St. Peter at the gates. So she would find the Catholic stuff fascinating, I think.
I'll have to think of the points she finds her highest and lowest. Because of her high Will/Spirit, she might have some defenses (and if magic resistance counts, that too), but I'm unsure atm.
