Nickname:
Age: 624 yrs old
Gender: Female
Race: Celestial Human
Height/Weight: 5'7
Appearance:
Cieran is the embodiment of human perfection. Her skin is smooth and soft, her hair is long and beautiful. It is a vibrant crimson color, and it brings out the color of her eyes. Her eyes, which are known to sometimes glow white, are deep enough for someone to get lost in forever. Her torso, slender and voluptuous, serves as a distraction that few enemies survive, because beneathe the beautiful skin is lithe, taut muscle.Picture: Personality:
Cieran also wears Egyptian style snake braclets that climb from her wrists to her elbows, made of what appears to be liquid gold. She has several tattoos <see december's tats-http://www.nocturnalmodels.com/models/december/gallery2.shtml >
Cieran is very reserved, which probably is a side-effect of living as long as she has. She has seen rulers come and go, their governments to boot. When she speaks, seldomly are her words not carefully articulated and thought out. Although she laughs easily, gaining her trust is very difficult indeed.Cieran is usually neither happy nor sad, and it takes quite a bit to anger her. When angered, though, she seems to become a different person. Normally, however, she is a silent observer and arbiter of truth. She is adamant and would defend her loved ones to the bitter end. Because of her recent gift of mortality, however, she is still quite apathetic, if unintentionally.Likes/Dislikes: Powers:
Cieran is a pyrokinetic, capable of generating flames by abosorbing heat from nearby objects. Several things she can do with fire-Powers:
Wings of Flame
Create Weapons (arrows)
Absorb heat
Near-immunity to heat and fire
Cieran is also a psionic, an ability she learned from Archbishop Richard le Scrope of York. Several of her psionic abilities are-
Mental Onslaught (Hallucinations, severe migrains, etc)
Absorb Force (Cieran can absorb the energy from, say, a fight in which she is beaten or slashed repeatedly, then release all the force at once upon her attacker. However, multiple enemies require more concentration, and this attack can backfire if she is pressed hard enough)

As a pyrokinetic, extreme cold can cripple her, and disable her energy. Also, if she is attacked my many people or with great force, it can penetrate her psionic barriers and devestate her, leaving her crippled if not fatally injured.Other Skills:
Because she is an angel, Cieran can speak almost any language that men can speak. She is also a master archer and is excellent with knives.History:
Cieran was born on December 24, 1383, to a poor family in the village of Lichfield. In 1386, her bishop, Richard le Scrope, was ordained to the See of York, where he was consecrated Arch-Bishop. Her father, a soldier, was killed in action but was a personal friend to Scrope, and upon recieving word of his death, at the age of six Cieran was sent to York to study religion under the fervant Scrope.Other Characters:
Studying under the Arch-Bishop, Cieran learned of medicines, saw the suffering of people throughout York, and took part in several dozen different types of merciful missions throughout England. Once, while travelling with the Arch-Bishop, they travelled to a village to heal a man that the locals dubbed a 'witch' and abandoned in the forest to die of exposure. The Arch-Bishop converted the man, and he began travelling with them. Brother Rilyn, now a priest, was a psionic, perhaps one of the first recorded in history. Rilyn took an immediate liking to the quiet, shy Cieran and taught her all he knew about psionics, since she seemed to be a delicate flower.
Henry Percy, an unpopular king with little regard for the people, lost the trust and respect of the Arch-Bishop. When a coup de'tat began, the Arch-Bishop gathered an army and joined sides with Henry Percy's opposition. However, to prevent needless civilian and military bloodshed, and to spare the lives of prisoners, the Arch-Bishop agreed to a truce, and disbanded his soldiers. Henry Percy had other ideas, and instead of following the agreed upon truce, he captured the Arch-Bishop, and sentenced him to execution.
On a dreary morning in 1405, the Arch-Bishop, and his council, which included Cieran and Father Rilyn, were executed. The Arch-Bishop was hung, as was Father Rilyn. Several men tried to beat and rape Cieran, but as more and more of their blows fell without harming her, the men grew more wild, and suddenly, she reached out and touched a man's cheek. Upon doing that, nearly all of his ribs, his jaw, and his sternum cracked and he died on impact from the force of every single blow hitting him at once. After that, Cieran was gently bound and then tied to a stake, after which she was burned. However, most notably about her death, she smiled as tears ran down her face, and prayed for those who condemned her to be saved.
It is also noted that on that day, a terrible storm overtook York and that Henry Percy lost nearly all of his credibility. Upon their deaths, the Arch-Bishop, a saint, and Cieran, a matyr, were offered to rest eternally in the arms of their Lord, or to continue the Lord's work. The Arch-Bishop chose eternal peace, while Cieran chose to continue her work. She served as an angel for the celestial powers for nearly six hundred years, upon which she descended to Earth as a mortal to battle the evils of Mephisto and Radiant.
