¤ Angelus ¤
General Details
Name: Angelus (Aka Liam Farrell) Age: Born in 1727 sired in 1753 so he is only 142 (He arrived in this timeline from 1895). Gender: Male Persuasion: Evil (No soul) Species: Vampire/Energy-eating werewolf (Referred to sometimes as a Saighneán werewolf) Family:
- Grandsire: The Master - Sire: Darla - Children: Sired Drusilla, Penn, Connor, James (Either Angelus or Darla sired Elizabeth, not sure) and Darla when she became human again. Co-sired Larkin with Darla in 1753. - Grandchilde: Spike (Drusilla), Zander (Drusilla), Travis (Penn) - Counterpart's Children (Angel): Connor (with Darla). - Counterpart's Grandchildren (Angel): Serenity and Jax (Connor's children) - Werewolf Sire: Some random named Dale - Child (blood): Clio-Angel (With Dee'Anu)
Appearance: Tall but not overly so. Angelus has brown eyes and long brown hair, appearing shoulder length; it’s fairly dark but appears lighter in lighter areas. In this timeline he changes from his 1800’s type clothing to suitable clothes which suit this world; normally he wears jeans and a white sleeveless shirt, or a black one, and sometimes a coat. He doesn’t look too unlike the Angel of this time except for the fact his hair is a lot longer. He also occasionally carries a sword slung over his back, but because this gains attention from the police, he often only wears it when he needs it.
The only jewellery he wears, apart from occasionally a ring or two, is a beautifully adorned key on a short dog choke chain around his neck, which cannot be removed even by him as he paid a wizard good money to strengthen the chain and ward off magic attempts (Its obviously also too short to pull over his head). The key opens every lock in his crypt, within it and on the doors going outside. It's only quite a small key but fancy looking.
Later on he is forced to wear a black leather collar (dragonhide) with moonstones in it by Lilah, who takes him as a pet, and he cannot remove it. (To his annoyance). Lilah also gave Darla and Angelus golden rings with stones in them to protect them against the sun and being re-ensoulled.
Note: Angelus still has an Irish accent as well as his long hair.
Werewolf: Dark brown with some lighter streaks of brown/gold in fur. Tall, long/bushy catlike tail and wolf-like head. Quite muscular and a little taller than 6 feet. Larger mane than an ordinary wolf. Longer canines than usual due to being a vampire. When he 'vamps out', he looks permanently snarly with bright golden eyes. Sees in colour in all forms (like a normal human or vampire). Snout is long and graceful, his wolf ears between the size of a German Shepherd and a wolf (so a little larger than a usual wolf).
Biped (two legged form): Leanly muscled. This is a close picture but it is not exact. The tail is exactly as it is shown in the second (see below) quadruped (four legged) picture. Very long tail and catlike, much longer; three times the length or more of a wolf tail. Very vicious, long-clawed, long-fanged etc, strong. Stands a few inches taller than his usual height (Around 6'0, so the wolf is maybe 6'3-6'5). Head is wolf-like, stands digitigrade (like dogs do, on the toes). Head is very wolfish, fur is the same texture as a real wolf.
Quadruped (Four legged): See picture below. Colours are different; he is brown to black in colour. Tail is as shown, as are the fangs. Eyes are amber to brown. Size of a normal male wolf.
What is unusual is that this type of werewolf rarely transmits by bite, and generally can only be born. Just being transferred may have caused Angelus's genetics to be changed by the bite due to an instability of mystical energy around him and the area.
Powers: He drinks blood still, in either form. But he can also suck the energy from others, drain them completely of it. It's easier to do while he is sucking their blood, but he can do it by touching them, or by standing close enough to them (Which isn't very effective unless the person is really radiating energy, which he then steals). He can also feed off heat, light, electricity (His preferred one, since as a vampire, sunlight is off limits), nuclear, life force, etc (any form of energy). He can sense other life force and energy in either form. If he knows someone, he knows their energy signature, much like he would their scent.
Completely and utterly immortal. (But see physical weaknesses cause he can still have his ass kicked). NOTE!!!! Angelus is powerful, but compared to a lot of people on this site, he really is easily beaten. It's his brains and smart mouth that are his advantage a lot of the time. (I don't think he has won many fights to be honest haha)
He can shapeshift, but its very uncontrolled at the moment and often happens unwillingly. He is a little stronger and faster than the average vampire, with slightly more heightened senses.
Angelus can also use the energy he absorbs. It takes a long time to become a master of it, so Angelus can only really manipulate it in a raw way. A master can use energy to create fire, electricity, magic, nuclear, light etc energy, in many forms. Angelus is able to complete powerful spells, but doesn't bother to or hasn't trained himself in many spells, unless he really wants to (eg his crypt wards). He can also set fire to things or use electricity, manipulate it in other certain ways, but untrained he is not that effective. (Because being all powerful is so bloody boring). He sometimes uses too much or too little.
His bond with Darla is very powerful and they can read each other's thoughts, although they might learn to ward their thoughts eventually.
Note: He is still undead, and cannot 'curse' anyone by biting them. He can still sire people into vampires. The only way the werewolf form is transmitted is via fathering a child, which of course isn't technically possible (Note that Clio-Angel was a successful birth, but her wolf seems to have manifested differently to Angelus's). However, when he sires someone, they become stronger, faster. If he sires them by sharing energy, he is sharing more of that strength. He has only done so for Darla and Connor, also for Raven, whom Darla staked a few hours after being sired.
Physical weaknesses: He is immortal (can't be staked etc or die in any way), but has a lot of weaknesses which can weaken and injure him. Silver, holy water, crosses, and generally being kicked around or stabbed. If stabbed with silver or holy water or poison, he heals slower. If drained of his energy, he will fall into a coma. Can't always control the shifting either.
If exposed to sunlight, Angelus will fall asleep...he will literally just lie down wherever he is, after some pain, and fall asleep quite peacefully. It's almost impossible to wake him unless moved into the shade.
Excess energy forces him to shift until he can learn to control it.
Can be locked up, kicked around or tortured, verbally abused (If you can get around his own extremely nasty words), etc. Shackles are more effective if they have silver in them.
Note he does have personality weaknesses, such as the fact he talks too much when he fights and occasionally is a bit too cocky.
Later on he is given a ring that prevents him from being put to sleep or burnt in the sun, and from being re-ensoulled.
Skills (Other than his powers): Angelus is skilled with swords, crossbows, knives and other weapons, owing to living in a time with such weapons as well as his natural grace and strength. He is also a very, very good drawer. He is also highly creative and something of a genius intelligence-wise. He is good at being a right bastard too. He is good at getting into people's heads and good at torture. He is also a very fast learner.
Note: Some of this history is made up by Darla and I, or by me. Rest is by Joss Whedon.
History: Angelus’s real name was Liam Farrell when he was human. Liam was born in 1727 In Galway, Ireland, and was the drunken tavern brawling sort with little ambition but to have fun and travel (Much like young people these days), although he was nice person at heart. His father was a middle class merchant and was often disappointed with Liam because of his antics (and probably lack of interest in a career in his father's area). It was only when Liam stormed off that his father showed any sort of affection, although Liam didn’t see this. He returned later to kill his entire family after meeting Darla in an alleyway (1753), drunk and lured by her attractiveness and mystery. Darla convinced him to kill his father. His young sister thought he was an angel when he returned home from the dead, and this is where he got his name. Angelus and Darla travelled throughout Europe together.
Angelus and Darla first went to Wales in 1753. Here, Darla was pursued by Kathrine and her husband Larkin, both Scottish magic users. Kathrine was a powerful witch. Darla had tortured Larkin and the man became mute. Darla and Angelus were both captured and tortured. Here they also met Lance Giles, a rogue English warlock kicked out of the Watcher's council. Lance tried to join their group, but Angelus killed him. Angelus and Darla also co-sired Larkin and set him upon his wife to torture her to death. (Larkin re-appears occasionally). Angelus tortured Larkin to insanity before they turned him, much like he later did with Drusilla, only he was much better at it when he created Dru, though Larkin is a fairly good job. Darla and Angelus escaped and went on a murdering rampage through Northern Europe until 1760 when they arrived in London. At this time, Darla was still with the Master. She left the Master in 1760 to be with Angelus, who had little respect for the Master. Angelus and Darla got into a fight after Larkin re-appeared and was found in bed with Darla. They split for a while, meeting again in France. They came to Daniel Holtz's attention around this time. Both were hunted mercilessly by Daniel Holtz after Angelus destroyed his family in 1764. They toyed with Holtz until 1773 when Holtz vanished. Angelus never found out where he went, (although his counterpart Angel in the other timeline found out the hard way where Holtz went). During this time, Angelus and Darla sired James and Elizabeth whom Angel later dusted. Angelus sired Penn around this time. He never saw him again but met his childe Travis in the future. He met the Beast in Prussia but declined to help him and was punched in the face. Instead of being torn apart, the Beast was banished by those he sought to use Angelus to destroy, the Svear Priestesses.
Eventually, Angelus sired Drusilla in 1860. She was something of an obsession of his. She in turn sired Spike in 1880 and the four of them dealt death wherever they were. They attended a ballet (Giselle) in 1890 which suprisingly bought out what sensitive side he has hidden far beneath the evil, and he cried. Angelus taught Spike almost everything he knew about killing, and served as a mentor for him although they didn't always get along. Both were captured by the Immortal in 1894 while he bedded Darla and Drusilla.
Around 1895, there was a turn of events. Instead of Darla bringing him the gypsy girl and hence bringing doom upon their group (the curse of the soul), Angelus was instead sought out for revenge by a demon named Gillesloan. Angelus had destroyed his entire family, as he had done to Holtz’s. Gillesloan was by no means a good sort; while he dealt death to many others, within his species there are many codes and protocols in families. Perhaps the most damning thing Angelus did to his family was the removal of Gillesloan’s childrens’ horns. The power to move through dimensions is held specifically in these odd looking gnarled horns. While Angelus didn’t know this, nor that they were his children (For Gillesloan’s species is an ugly, odd looking demon), he removed them nonetheless to revel in their agony and for this, Gillesloan sought him out. His children became nothing. Dead to the rest of their species, unable to perform any of the rituals or magic of any kind.
For revenge, Gillesloan did what his species does best. He sent Angelus into the future. However, he didn’t send him to his own future (A future where Angelus would have suddenly reappeared, and no Angel would exist because he was never there to be ensouled) but into the future where Angelus was cursed by gypsies. Hence, technically, two Angelus’s or Angels would exist; one without a soul and one who had a soul or who had experienced a soul previously, who had fallen in love with Buffy and who had suffered much pain. While others may remember him as Angel (in confusion, because he is not the same Angel they know), this particular Angelus has never had a soul and also has absolutely no idea what this world holds, such as technology and attitude differences.
He was attacked by a werewolf and became one himself just after arriving.
HISTORY AFTER HIS ARRIVAL:
Upon arriving, Angelus became a werewolf after being attacked by a very, very rare Celtic breed of werewolf. (Coincidently Celtic haha). He did not know of his condition, although he learnt quickly that he could drain the energy of others, much before he learnt he could shape shift. He also grew much stronger, faster, more aware of everything around him.
Angelus met with Darla shortly after, who had also come from his time but had lived throughout the entire 20th century (Angelus is only around 150 because he missed a century, unlike Darla). He also met an Unseelie fey named Dee'Anu and fooled around with her a little, but things got more serious when he discovered his counterpart Angel (of this time) had a son named Connor, also a vampire but carrying a soul.
Discovering airplanes, Angelus decided to get himself ID and a passport and flew to Australia, where he again saw Connor and staked him at his son's request, not really caring about him. He then decided it might be good to bring his son home to Darla, so he took the ashes to Dee'Anu in Ireland and had him revived, before siring him again (And hence Connor has no soul). Unfortunately, other things were at work and Angelus and Dee'Anu were forced to create a body for a being. Dee'Anu gave birth to Clio-Angel later. Angelus has not currently met her, nor does he know of her existence and nor will he ever accept her as his daughter.
Angelus was of course severely punished by Darla for his negligence and forgetting about her after she found him in his new crypt in Los Angeles. So severely punished in fact that he enjoyed absolutely none of it, and has vowed never to stray again. Trying to make it up to her, he set out to find her a slayer to drain and torture, and encountered Sam. Sam rendered him unconscious due to a drug in her blood, which he tried to drain her of, and his soul was almost restored by Aleria, a seelie fey. While it backfired and turned Darla into a human after Darla came seeking Angelus, they managed to escape to Angelus's crypt where he sired Darla, strengthening their bond a hundred fold (and making Darla an extremely powerful vampire). It was here he also experienced his first shape shift.
Angelus met Travis while alone at his crypt, and found him to be his grandchilde, sired by Penn whom Angel staked. After that, getting revenge on Aleria was the logical next step. Angelus met Elise while he and Darla were spying on Aleria, and Elise joined their group. Meeting up in Sunnydale with Connor, they attacked Aleria. In a vicious turn of events, Angelus, Darla, Connor and Aleria were captured by the Initiative and both Angelus and Darla were chipped while Aleria was tortured. Darla was almost raped and Angelus, despite the chip, tortured the scientist to death viciously for using his woman and showing how much pain he can tolerate. They were rescued by Preston/Bas.
At some stage, Angelus met Angelle and for an unknown reason they became enemies. Angelus set off to find Angelle's only daughter Aideen to torment, finding her in Transylvania.
Later, Angelus and Aleria were hit by a love spell which caused them to fall deeply in love, turning aside some of their evil or good natures to be with each other. Angelus went to live in Ireland for a while, even going to an anger management class for his beloved seelie fey. Unfortunately, his grandchilde Spike found himself in Ireland and was quickly placed in Anger management with Angelus. He and Aleria lived in Slane (Ireland) for quite some time, Angelus attempting to behave himself and almost going down much the same road as the soulless Spike in the later days of Sunnydale before he went and got himself a soul. This of course angered Nyx, Aleria's soulmate. Angelus and Nyx became enemies of a sort.
Another encounter with Angelle was imminent, and the two bumped into each other in a small bookshop in Los Angeles. Both fell under a spell, transforming into 16-yr-olds, but not losing their werewolf and/or vampire abilities. 'Liam' still reverted to his soulless self, murdering a warehouse of thieves, even though his memory only ran 16 years and he had no idea where he was or what he was.
Angelus encountered the devil Memnoch in France and was offered a special stone in return for his services bringing Memnoch a package from India. Angelus double crossed him and never went on the trip, but never received the stone, either.
He met Lilah (Queen of hell) around a similar time, after Lilah broke up with Memnoch and cheated on him with Angelus. By this time Darla had all but left him for Nyx, although Angelus always plans on returning to her eventually. Lilah gave Angelus and Darla a ring which prevents them from being harmed in the sunlight, and prevents them from having their souls restored. She also offered to train Angelus, taking him as an apprentice to her lands in Ambrosia to learn to control his werewolf powers. In return, she forced a collar on him and took him as a sort of pet, but he never submits to her. He currently explores Ambrosia, wreaking havoc where he can and shagging Lilah where he can.
Meanwhile, he meets new creatures, learns everything he can about the big guns of Los Angeles, and of course about his counterpart Angel, because he believes knowledge is almost everything when it comes to defending or fighting. What is or isnt a threat is important to him.
Personality: Angelus is fairly evil. He enjoys torturing others, and is also something of an artist when it comes to murder and feeding. He is also quite a jealous type, though probably not as much as Spike (haha). He is obsessive and very vindictive. Although he is fairly strong for a vampire, his greatest skill is in his words, his cunning and his extreme intelligence (he is something of a genius...if only he'd used it in other ways other than to maim and kill). He can be quite argumentative at times and rather bossy to some but not others. He is also a good teacher; Spike is proof of this. His foul moods are not something to be proud of, and he does brood, although not as much as Angel does of course. His short temper gets the better of him at times, and he often breaks things or hurts people in rages, or sulks. He can be cool headed when he puts his mind to it. Likes to assess people.
A personality weakness he has is that he talks excessively. While he uses people's words and actions to learn about them, he has the same weakness himself and either his enemies learn about him through his constant chatter, or they move while he is talking and taunting.
Contrary to popular belief, Angelus really has no wish to take over the world. He is somewhat interested in his own fun, or fun with his Darla or his group, whoever he is with. Unlike the Angel/Angelus of this world, he doesnt need to shove a big evil deed into a tiny amount of time in the event that his soul might be restored. The Angelus of this time is a lot darker and more experienced, having had a soul for so long. It makes Angel something of an extreme bipolar case...both very, very evil, and very, very good. Angelus is evil, but probably not as desperate and evil as the Angelus of this world who seems to have a lot more to lose. On saying that, I'm sure they would try to outdo each other. Angelus has a hidden sensitive side...he did after all cry at a ballet. This sensitive side is very well hidden. Hidden much better than Spike's and Harmony's. He would rather you die than know he ever cried.
In this timeline, he is obviously a little ignorant because he has never seen such technology. This is probably his downfall. However, he adapts to new situations readily. He is also more capable of intense connections to Darla in this timeline due to their new bond. Although he has no soul, he is quite a complex personality and it is hard to understand his motives at times, making him more dangerous or difficult to get close to unless he wants you to. He and Darla have since become more capable of love (The sort Spike experiences), in a vampiric sense.
