[edit] Story Hooks

Designed for Battle: Angelo remembers nothing of his former life aside from his name, before he came to a group known as Elysium--or for that matter, while he was with them. In actuality, he was part of their program to create supersoldiers for a purpose yet to be known; while the experimental nanomachine treatment and other training worked, he was still not up to their standards, and discarded as "defective," left to die in the streets. Regardless, he knows, to a degree, his capabilities and his name, just none of his history.
Targeted by Evil Organization: Elysium does not like the fact that despite their attempt to remove "Azrael", he still happens to be alive. Even worse, he is essentially a link to them though his very existence; both to get the job 'done right', and to maintain their secrecy until it is no longer necessary, they intend to either capture or destroy Azrael...

[edit] Appearance

Medium-height, Angelo's otherwise thin frame belies his technologically enhanced strength. His light skin is contrasted by his black hair, which is tied back in what passes for a short, spiky excuse for a ponytail, save for some bangs. In addition, he has the general 'bishounen' look going for him, particularly with his facial features. Also, clean-shaven.

[edit] History

Angelo's earliest memory is that of having woken up, lying on his back in an alleyway in the middle of a city that he did not know the name of, wearing a black bodysuit and fitted metallic armguards and boots. He had no recollection of who he was supposed to be, what he was supposed to be doing, or what had happened to him to make him wake up in the streets--just his name, and that he was hungry as hell without having any money to buy food with. And with that, one who was intended to die instead began to survive.
Survival turned out to be easier than one would typically expect for someone in such a situation--as it turned out, Angelo just happened to wake up in one of the less savory parts of the city--complete with the typical allotment of thugs, gang activity, and muggers. And a group of ruffians, thinking him an easy target, took the chance to try to extort some protection money from him, threatening "bad things" to happen were he to refuse or be unable.
...Angelo was all too happy to oblige on the latter half of the offer. Not too much later, those who weren't already unconscious on the ground were running away, and he had helped himself to the money left behind by the unconscious and those who threw it away to try and 'bribe' him to quit before scattering. Rational thought overtaking battle-frenzy, he did what any remotely sane human would do with lots of free money in front of them; he took it, before wandering off to look for a place to stay--at least for a night or two.
Eventually, after some wandering, Angelo did find a place to initially stay, in an old, run-down two-level building. The owner let him stay after an agreement simply not to go anywhere near the basement. And with that simple agreement, he had a place to live. The following few weeks were relatively uneventful, but things picked up when he had seen a poster advertising what seemed to be an underground fighting tournament of sorts. Interest piqued, he headed down on the appropriate date.
It had cost him the last of his money, but Angelo got in--and after that point, his life would be changed forever. He had made it through the quarterfinals before he was asked to leave with a consolation prize; the opponents he took down were brutalized well beyond what they had expected or otherwise seen, the other fighters were panicking at the thought of facing him, and he was drawing too much attention of the wrong type; crowds of people were coming, to say the least. Regardless, Angelo chose to take the consolation cash prize...and noticed a news van outside the building as he left.
Things seemed to progress rapidly from there; upon reaching his place, he had noticed it was--needless to say--collapsed, as if it had been put to demolition. Police were on the scene, and upon some asking around, it turned out that there had been a meth lab in the basement which blew up while he was out. It was guaranteed that anyone in at the time was killed...so despite the tragedy, and loss of a place to stay at, Angelo realized he had to move on to less-collapsed buildings and places that hopefully lack such explosive hazards.
A few hours of wandering later, it was nighttime--and Angelo stopped immediately upon feeling a very uncomfortable presence. Looking around, he locked glances with a small, lithe figure standing atop a streetlight...
"Wow. I didn't think it'd take this long for us to find you. I have to give you credit, Reject, you're hard to find when you don't want to be," a young, girlish voice called from the figure's position. Angelo merely watched in puzzlement, as the figure was ready to descend. As it jumped down into the light, its appearance became clear; she appeared to be no more than fifteen years of age, and a degree shorter than he was. Her hair was short-cut and red, and her eyes gray--but most notable was that she wore a bodysuit similar to the one he did; it was mostly black and form-fitting, but it was most notably in two pieces, cut off at the midriff, and not beginning again until the waist.
Angelo shot back, "Last I know, I know nothing about having been labeled a reject."
"You don't? You mean you don't remember all that happened at Elysium?" she responded quizzically, before upturning one palm and rolling her eyes, "Oh, that's right, they EC-Wiped you. Looks like they didn't do it well enough, though..."
"EC-Wiped? And while we're on the subject, who the hell are you, and how the hell do you know me?!"
"Me? Well, I guess you can just call me 'Uriel'," she responded lazily, almost uninterested, "And really...I hate it when they EC-Wipe the rejects. Means I have to do all this explanation. Put short, I was in the same project in Elysium as you. Guess that would mean that we could've been friends, but..." she giggled, "They've got other plans for you."
"Other plans?" Angelo responded, "And what's this 'Elysium' group anyway?"
'Uriel' merely shrugged, "Really, I shouldn't have told you that they exist at all, but as it stands? I'm here to kill you," she stated as she grinned devilishly. "I figure you're going to die anyway, so what the hell?"
Angelo sensed the threat easily enough...but only responded with excitement as he dropped into a battle stance. "I'd like to see you try, kid!"
The girl's face quickly soured into a look of death as white flame coalesced in her hand and her tone turned grim; "Really, you'd think that in disposing of a reject like you, Azrael, they'd have just put a bullet through your head. But you really want to die today, don't you? If so, I'll see to it myself."
The fight was fast, furious, and moreso...one-sided. Angelo was quick, but 'Uriel' and her fighting style could only be described as inhuman. As soon as Angelo got close enough to strike, she jumped out of range again, and the best he could manage was a few glancing blows. Adding to that, she seemed to be able to throw around her white flames from the ground or from the air effortlessly, able to attack indefinitely while staying out of the path of Azrael's otherwise devastating strikes. The battle raged on until neither seemed to be able to fight anymore--Angelo exhausted from the high-mobility combat, and "Uriel"'s flames having ever slightly diminished in strength.
"Tch...Third Pennae and you can only barely hit me? I can't believe you're seriously of the same type as myself," she added mockingly. "Oh well, I guess it's time to put you out of your misery, Azrael. Good-bye~!" Uriel added on an ironic-sounding note of cheerfulness...before a semi passing through almost ran the two over--and Angelo took the opportunity to get the hell out of the general vicinity. As he left, he could hear the girl's frustrated scream...and an explosion. He didn't want to find out what the hell happened, as he hightailed it--he'd been beaten, and a good fight isn't quite worth dying over when you can't take your enemy out with you.
The next day, Angelo's thoughts were swarming with questions from the other night. Who the hell was that girl? Who the hell am I? Why was I called "Azrael"? What is this "Elysium", and why do they want me dead? However, those questions took backstage to a horrifying notion; he barely got off once for free, but chances are, this Elysium group is still after him. And next time, he might not be so lucky...
Quickly searching, Angelo came across Touhou High relatively easily; they were generally open insofar as admissions went, and he looked young enough. He figured that, with some effort to blend in, he could at least extend his lifespan--and possibly not be found again by Elysium...and after some testing, he was admitted--albeit at the junior level. So there he had it; two years of the potential to hide from his pursuers. He hoped he could make those two years count, as he continued to search for a place to stay during the night...
