heaven won't take me back

[cutenonny]

You're an angel. Not metaphorically, not in the "you're so sweet" way; you're a literal angel - ethereal energy form, wings, and all. But you're not just any sort of angel. You're a guardian angel. Guardian angels are a caste, or choir, created with the sole purpose of protecting those they're assigned to. Each angel is created specifically for the person they guard, with a few exceptions. The only thing you're programed to know is duty. Naturally, being invested in your charge is expected. What if your feelings for them veer away from "dutiful" into "fondness" and then...something else? Angels aren't supposed to know love, at least not in the way those in the living realm do. Still, nothing is as certain as it used to be, and you're not so sure of your purpose. All you know is that you want to keep your charge safe. Can you guarantee that, now?

How to Play Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd rather play the guardian angel or the guarded. Tag others. Use the RNG to determine your fate. Prompts Watching: You've been watching this person as long as both they and you have been in this world. Maybe over years, maybe suddenly, things aren't the same when you look at them. Guilt: You realized that these pesky emotions are growing and you know this is against everything you know to be true. Your kind cannot love, and even if you could, this is wrong. You have known this person their entire life and thinking of them as more is unacceptable. Terrible Angel: You're not angelic at all and fail neatly at almost all the benchmarks, but when it comes to the one you guard, you don't folly. Righteous Fury: Usually, angels must be removed and impassive. You see your charge mistreated, though, and you lose control. Relegated to Guardian Angelhood: You used to be much more important, of a greater choir of angel. Then, you screwed up and got pushed down into the ranks of guardian angel. It would be easy to be bitter towards your charge. You aren't, for some reason. Can't Be Seen: The person you care for the most can't see you. It's typical angel protocol, yet you can't help but want to make yourself noticeable. Affecting Your Work: Your growing and sometimes erratic emotions make your job harder. You're getting sloppy. You may even allow your charge to be hurt or allow yourself to be conspicuous. Jealousy: You saw your charge with someone else and it...it really ruffled your feathers. Maybe you lost your cool. Hopefully, that won't mean bad mojo for the other person involved. No one would be any wiser if you made their head more attractive to bird droppings, though. Kiss: Can you kiss someone when you technically have no lips? They might just feel a pleasant breeze; still, you're kissing them, and this is...nice. How They'd Like You to Look: You've decided to make yourself known to them, and you want your appearance to be to their liking. Inhabiting the Vessel They Love: A bit more sinister than the above, but also somewhat practical. They already love this body, anyway. Revealing Yourself: You're taking the big step and coming into their life as an actual, tangible presence. Of course, "I'm your guardian angel" rarely gets the response you hope. Stay with You: You promise that you'll stay by their side always, now as a physical companion. Confessions: No matter the costs, you're revealing your true feelings. Deciding to be More: It's dangerous, it's unheard of; however, both of you want to become more than just angel and charge. Intimacy Without a Corporeal Form: They know you're there even when you're not in human form, and they want to touch you. This can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be. Intimacy With a Corporeal Form: You're beginning to learn what it's like to be intimate with them while you're in this new form. Again, this can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be. Wings: Letting someone touch your wings is the ultimate show of trust and, in angel terms, one of the closest things you have to sexuality. Called to the Mat: Your higher-ups have learned of your sins. Now, you're on trial. Will you deny your charge? Not Officially Yours: Problem number one: you're in love. Problem number two: it's with some other angel's charge. Second Chance: As previously stated, most guardian angels are created for that one special person. However, some angels whose charges have died young are allowed a second chance. Will this new person ever replace your old? Protection: Now is time to do the guarding - by any means necessary, especially now, after realizing just what your charge means to you. Fallen: Because of your sins, you've lost favor. You've been stripped of your heavenly grace and you've fallen. Immortal: You must deal with the implications that your charge will die and you will be sent on to a new heavenly job. Failed: You didn't do enough. You let yourself slip, and now your charge is dying. They were more than just a charge, so you must do what you can to let their soul pass on in the most peaceful manner possible. But can you let go? CHOOSE YOUR OWN

ben k̶y̶l̶o̶ ̶r̶e̶n̶ solo. STAR☆WARS. ota

[vaderstan]

( cool w either role )

Ophelial | OC | OTA

[aligera]

[literally a guardian angel, but not the fighty kind. More the sweet, loving healer who makes everything turn out all right kind.]

Benedict Dearborn — original (academic, exorcist) — m/m

[fumitory]

( ship fine but not exactly necessary, so gen is an option as well. Ben 'canonly' has a guardian angel already, happy to swap them for your character as the guardian angel, or implement 20 for that. he's regularly out in the world confronting ill-intentioned presences, banishing things, and frequently in arm's reach of malevolent entities. he probably needs all of the backup he can get, or any intensity of h/c in the aftermath of his supernatural work. (or maybe demons are gonna clap back finally, maybe that.)

alternatively, can make Ben the serious, focused, protective guardian angel for yours who's feeling a ton of conflict about straying from his duty, but unable to steel his feelings. will especially protect against eerie to evil things.

signs of affection or intimacy all good, but pass on smut. love slow burn and some assumed cr. canon characters, OCs, LA or drawn are all welcome. info is on journal, but feel free to PM for queries or discussion. )

jaskier - the witcher (netflix)

[lettenhove]

[ also familiar with the books and witcher 3; can be either guarded or guard. if he's the guard, he's probably like an angel of music/poetry. willing to work with all sorts of aus; ota for gen, but 21+ please for shipping. ]

[devilsphoenix]

[Want the fallen angel of art and discovery? Info here]

Anna Hetfield | Marvel TSR RPG OC | OTA

[eights_and_aces]

[Def the guarded, only hard no is 11 and 23.]

sansa stark | asoiaf/got | ota

[eyried]

[ guarded ]

Darkwing Duck | Ducktales 2017

[andiblewhimup]

[Can be either or. If guarded he'll stubbornly insist that he doesn't need anyone to protect him. As the guardian, he'd be a newbie, taking on his first few assignments.]

Azazel | Original | OTA

[praeministri]

[ The Guardian Angel. I would love the opportunity to play him before his fall but I can also play him at his canon point after his fall. Journal info is still majorly a wip. ]

Alexander Pierce 🐙 MCU

[sellmysoul]

[Fallen, out to get you.]

nakata rei | oc | ota

[reicist]

[Would looove to do an 11 into 12 with elements of 2/6/8/23 thrown in. (That's an angel who is falling in love with their charge, becoming jealous, falling from grace and ultimately taking possession of their loved one leading to the reveal.) Strong chance of a bad-end if that's your vibe.]

akemi morishita | original | m/m

[cupidite]

[ probably guarded, unless you want the worst guardian angel ever. up for any of the prompts. ]

Leviathan/Envy | Angelic Mythology | OTA

[sea_green]

_{[If your guardian angel is a prince of hell, somebody's filed the wrong paperwork, but have fun with that. Also love playing Leviathan as trapped in human form so would be interesting if he ended up with an angel of his own while trapped]}

[henchgal]

[Either someone's filed the wrong paperwork, or someone decided that a woman who's dancing down the slippery slope to villainy needed to be watched over by an entity that suited that path. Either way, Leviathan, your new charge (who knows what happened to her old guardian angel) is currently running errands for her boss.]

Brienne of Tarth | ASoIaF / GoT

[chivalrouswench]

[ Would make a great guardian angel. Could definitely use one, too. ]

Peter Parker | MCU | OTA

[spider_m4n]

[A rookie guardian angel!]

[call_4766626]

"Okay. Ready for test number four. Human subject," Tony stated clearly for his own recordings as he placed a ring of metal, circuit boards and electrodes to his head. It looked a bit like a crown.

With his hand, he gestured for Dum-E to come over with a tray of whiskey, cigarettes and a couple of choice porn magazines. He has worse vices, but he should start small.

"The goal of this trial is to dampen addictive cravings for readily available substances and media. Powering on in three..."

Nile Freeman | The Old Guard | ota

[Brand new Angel. Guardian Angel. Learning to be one at least...]

[fine with most of the scenarios. Put your ideas out there, I am pretty open. Depending on who you ask, I tend to be one of the Fallen Ones.]

Loki, Angel of Death | Dogma
