Another Tumblr Ask, this time for Azriel.
A little bit of booze and he's pretty much okay with anything. x3
But he's not the sort to let much phase him anyway. :3

Definitely the case with him! I'm always sort of nitpicking and trying to iron out my characters.
But initially the idea was that he's actually a fallen angel, he dared to love another angel, and he was exiled to the mortal world, while his lover was sent to the underworld. He's still stuck between his connection to the divine (and his loss there of from being banished) and the loss of his lover. Ultimately he kind of spiralled into filling these voids (or perhaps numbing them) with all kinds of indulgence, be it substances, sex or even self abuse or allowing himself to be mistreated.

But that doesn't really make sense. These sorts of things occur from earlier, for fundamental things that shape the personality; otherwise, although the situation would be something to mourn over, the person would have the resilience to overcome (of course, I have no idea about how the biology and psychology of divine beings work, so meh).
Also, something I realized recently in my own character, that might be helpful: while it may seem neat or cool to have just some backstory, the more powerful story is the one that is metaphorically true. Like, I was doing this thing about Krof being a bootstrap paradox, but I realized that even though time travel dynamics are neat, it wasn't the story that needed to be told (and that an older backstory he had was much more genuine and meaningful, about him being an incomplete person seeking wholeness).

Well, not everyone reacts to situations the same... Azriel was my first personal character really, he's not perfect as a character in all honesty, and a lot of bits and pieces taken from various biblical references. He's actually a personal character with some of my own experiences, however Azriel's behaviour (as well as style and over all look) was also based heavily on one of my friends, who though his loss was his brother (rather than a lover) Ive watched him walking this slippery slope for a long time.. and hes still never really recovered from this loss, its always coming back to him and he drinks and does all manner of things try and just cope and feel some how normalized, like he can either use it to fit in society or to be able to not care any more.
Story wise as a character, in a simplistic sense, his divinity was his "youth". ( Part of this is the story that has to be reworked since Shi'Imora has no real equal to a Christian god) He was created as a part of god, and being cut off from that, cut off a vital part of what he was, not as simple as losing someone through death. I could guess it would probably be equal to a young child, who loves and trusts his parents more than anything, suddenly being thrown out on the street when they have no real idea how that world is, or works. Not only is he like an alien, who will never really be a part of it, even though he will always try and make the best of it, but he is also stuck with a deep feeling of loss and emptiness being cut this way from everything hew knew, loved and trusted. And nothing really matches up with the things he once felt and had, He's searching for a missing puzzle piece which he will never find in the mortal world. ^^;

So a bottle of Jack Daniels some Jägermeister a cigarette, and good to go, plus funny light setup.
I think the more prevalent question is, who would not like Azriel's music?

Oh mhhhh, makes me understand the character even more now, even if I expected that the truth is less glory than I guessed on patreon some hours ago, it makes me feel bad to see the things that way.
But well, dat's the world, once more, I guess.
