(Appears 17)Height: 5'9”Weight: 133 lbs.Hair:  Light Brown (with bright purple highlights)Eyes: BlueDescription:Athletically-built, always wearing a punk-rock band shirt (the Ramones is her current favorite) and short, messy hair, Raph easily sticks out of a crowd.  It doesn’t hurt her features are classically beautiful or that she's graced with unearthly blue eyes.  Once you get past that though, her naivety is readily apparent.  Innocently clueless, curiosity hangs around her like a cloud though recently she’s been doing better to keep her cool, donning a 'tough-gal' personality.When Raph uses her combat magic her eyes turn luminescent gold and wings traced from lines of golden light appear at her back.  A dim halo of runes circles around her head, flickering briefly whenever she casts a spell.Background:A few months ago New Yorker Cody Bryant was in a severe car-accident and suffered enough damage that extensive surgery barely preserved his life.  He came to after a week-long coma, his body broken from the chest-down and wondered if his world would ever be the same.  Three days later he awoke from a nap to a girl wearing a Ramones shirt perched on his windowsill, watching him with curious eyes.  After the shock, Cody realized that he could sit up and even move his arms.  “Who are you?” he asked the mysterious figure.  Her response was, “I don’t know, but I think I’m your guardian angel.” Over the following month Cody began to recover with the help of his new friend.  His friend would come and go in the blink of an eye, but Cody discovered he could call her by closing his eyes and speaking the name he had given her, “Raph”.  But he was worried because the last two years he had considered himself an atheist and the obvious presence of a ‘guardian angel’ (complete with the ability to heal) surely meant that there was some existence of a higher power!  Raph didn’t have any particular answers on the subject of God or the existence of heaven though and seemed to be a clean slate, knowing very little information of the outside world.  And though good-natured, she lacked much of a moral compass!In exchange for the help Raph has given him, Cody has taken to educating the wayward angel.  They’ve worked on the basic things-what a TV is and how it works, what’s “cool” and what’s not but they haven’t broached the subject of God much.  While atheism works for him, he’s of the opinion that others may have their own worldviews that are truer to them.  He’s not convinced in his friend’s heritage so much as her good (and supernatural) nature, and though he does not believe in angels in a religious sense he seeks to help Raph in whatever way he can.Raised by a single mother, Cody has a working relationship with his father-he sees him once every two weeks, which is all his father’s busy schedule will allow (supposedly, at least).  Mr. Bryant has since re-married and had other children, but he’s always offered his son a healthy sum of money which until now Cody has yet to take advantage of.  Being aware of Elites, Cody has suspected of his ability to call Raph, if not Raph herself, being a product of his own ability.  Hearing of the Institute has intrigued him enough to learn more, enough to use his father’s money to travel there and apply for whatever education they can offer Raph and him.Cody’s got a secret—Raph knows he's not in to girls much but the whole truth is that he’s gay.  He’s sure enough and comfortable with this fact, but isn’t ready yet for other people (especially his mother) to know.  Right now, he's fine with compartmentalizing this aspect of himself.“What the hell are you doing in my room!?  ...And why are you naked?”Cody remembers the first time he met his guardian angel as a dream, but Raph knows better.  The angel-in-training appeared one early morning two weeks before the accident.  The incident was comical enough, though the moment Cody’s mother came running and shouting to the door Raph was gone in an eye blink.  She’s been asleep since, but awoke when she knew she was needed."You're not supposed to do that, you're an angel!"Raph’s got a good heart, but she doesn’t exactly know where it belongs.  As far as she’s concerned, it’s her divine duty to watch over and protect Cody.  So until she knows what else she needs to do, she’s going to do that job as best as she can.  The occasional Ramones CD or Hawaiian pizza-slice with a good smothering of mustard and mayo is just icing on the cake.[/sblock]StatsBaseline:[sblock]Cody BryantPL: 6 (80 pp)ABILITIES [16]:STR: 10
