My OC, Angelique ‘Angel’ Delios, is a witch and an Empath.

An Empath is someone who can fully interpret the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing them to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. Some users may learn to read emotional imprints left into environment or objects. Usually over time, an Empath's power grows to the point that they can manipulate emotions in others, and possibly use them to empower themselves.

Angel is an eccentric, emotional, kind, and ‘too smart for her own good’ intelligent black teenage girl from America and confesses to being kind of crazy. And by her own admission, has a soft spot for monsters. Angel speaks her mind, even if it may sound crazy or strange to others, with her signature Mona Lisa smile followed by her usual series of airy giggles and is a very touchy feely person when she gets comfortable with someone, which is often when she first meets them due to her deep understanding of people and lacks any of the usual caution or social etiquette ordinary people do.

She has ‘Hellsing: Abridged’ mixed with ‘Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt’ dub humor and is always wearing her Mona Lisa smile and is always giggling about something. She is loosely based off of Delirium and Death from ‘The Sandman,’ Winter from the ‘Lunar Chronicles,’ Gojo from JJK, and is pretty much the embodiment of every Melanie Martinez, Lana Del Ray, and Insane Clown Posse song.

In my slowly - very slowly - progressing story, Angel kind of just..shows up like a stray cat. And like a stray cat, she comes and goes wherever and whenever she pleases, mostly due to the other supernatural stuff she’s dealing with outside of helping or hanging around Hellsing.

- Angel figures out that Alucard is Count Dracula when they first met and she even pointed it out by playfully calling him ‘Count Dracula’ and wasn’t shy about teasing him in good fun.

- When she starts getting comfortable around him, she would lean against him or causally play with his gorgeous hair or steal his hat and sunglasses and wear them on herself.

- Angel is very much a modern teen and teases Alucard about being an old man and even calls him a Boomer whenever he remakes on certain modern things such as Angel’s eccentric sense of fashion or her technology or her unorthodox way of doing things.

- Angel can transform into a small white iridescent snake and black and white spotted rabbit and enjoys being held by either Seras or Alucard.

- She calls his late night walks his ‘eldritch zoomies.’

- She refers to the medical blood packs he’s always sucking on his ‘caprisuns.’

- She also gave him the nickname ‘Al’ and uses often, has him saved as ‘💖Lulu💖’ on her phone, calls him ‘Allie’ when he’s being particularly snowflaky, Or if he’s being an asshole she’ll call him the ‘Crimson Fucker’ (shoutout Team Fourstar!).

- Because she is an Empath, she knows what goes on beneath what Alucard chooses to show to others and brings up his troubles only when they are alone and knows his internal struggles and mechanisms. Also, if Angel focuses long enough on Alucard, she can hear and feel the souls trapped inside of him, sometimes she can even hear them screaming. She tries not to dig too deeply, both because she knows that people who are aware that she is an Empath don’t like it and if she is connected to Alucard for too long, she will start to cry, shedding both her own tears and his blood ones.

- And due to her abilities, and only under certain circumstances, Angel can blanket her presence around Alucard as a way of calming him down like a heated weighted blanket.

- There’s this one scene that sums up Angel’s view/relationship on Alucard where someone exclaims that Alucard is a monster, to which Angel lazily shifts her gaze from the person and Alucard while still wearing her Mona Lisa smile and just softly giggles, shaking her head, and says, “No, that’s not a monster. That’s just Al.”

- Despite her love for the modern age she was born into, Angel is a bit of an old soul though, she loves the vintage jazz vinyl records that she inherited from her mother.

- due to her family and her being a witch, can talk about certain archaic and ancient historical subjects for hours, usually about certain things that she shouldn’t know or that most people would understand. And occasionally, Angel would randomly drop facts and knowledge that humanity either doesn’t know or got wrong that either leaves everyone befuddled and having more questions than answers. (this plays into the multiple mythologies that tie together in this fanfic, it’s a sort of omnism I got going on).

- Angel is a witch and worships and pays homage to the Old Gods of the Pantheons, particularly the Greek and Orisha Pantheons due to her being Black Greek.

- This story gets into the colonization, cultural appropriation, generational trauma, and the violence and prejudice against others caused by the Christian church, both past and present.

- Angel also possesses powerful glamour magic (a hereditary ability in her family). Her glamour reflects her mental state, and since Angel is half-mad, her glamours can be both whimsical and strange. For instance, whenever she’s deep in thought or bored, Angel will summon goldfish/koi-fish or butterflies to fly above and swarm around her. Her hair and makeup and outfits are always bright and attention-grabbing. Her black hair either in it’s loose thick and curly state but with added bright colors or set in beautiful and complicated braids with beads or small trinkets added to it that jingle when she moves, her makeup matches her outfits and also contain glitter and or rhinestones.

- Angel is also a beast tamer, an unofficial occupation she obtained due to her Empath abilities and something that Sir Integra is silently thankful for when dealing with creatures outside of vampires.

- Basically, Angel and Alucard two chaotic peas in a pod and have a very strange brother-sister/father-daughter relationship. She and Alucard have a relationship that I can best describe that if the relationship of Paul and Carl from ‘Llamas with Hats’ and Katya and Trixie Mattel got together, sprinkled some dark-ass humor, cryptic speech patterns, and a shared love of chaos, and produced a bastard child. Also the ‘who’s who’ dynamic switches a lot between them.

Angelique!! Behold!!

Each of us is a little word of the Word of God, a mini-incarnation of divine love. The journey inward requires surrender to this mystery in our lives, and this means letting go of our “control buttons.” It means dying to the untethered selves that occupy us daily; it means embracing the sufferings of our lives, from the little sufferings to the big ones; it means allowing God’s grace to heal us, hold us, and empower us for life; it means entering into darkness, the unknowns of our lives, and learning to trust the darkness, for the tenderness of divine love is already there; it means being willing to surrender all that we have for all that we can become in God’s love; and finally, it means to let God’s love heal us of the opposing tensions within us. When we can say with full voice, “You are the God of my heart, my God and my portion forever” [Psalm 73:26], then we can open our eyes to see that the God I seek is already in me … and in you. We are already One.

Republican Rep.-elect George Santos admitted to stealing a man’s checkbook that was in his mother’s possession to purchase clothing and shoes in 2008, according to documents obtained by CNN.

The admission came in a statement Santos gave to police in 2010, according to 150 pages worth of case documents.

Police had suspended an investigation into Santos because they were unable to find him for nearly a decade. But law enforcement officials in Brazil will reinstate fraud charges against the New York Republican, CNN reported Tuesday.

Santos used stolen checks to make purchases at a shop in Niterói, a city outside of Rio de Janeiro on June 17, 2008, according to court documents. When making the purchase, he used an ID card with the checkbook owner’s name and a picture of himself, according to police documents.

Police summoned Santos several times in 2008, 2009 and 2010 to speak to them. Santos’ mother told the police in November 2010 that the checks were stolen from a checkbook she had in her purse belonging to Delio da Camara da Costa Alemao, who died a year prior to her speaking with police, and that her son had used four checks. Santos’ mother was Costa Alemao’s nurse prior to his death.

Speaking with the police for the first time that month, Santos confessed he stole the checkbook from his mom’s purse and that he used “some sheets” to make purchases. Santos confessed to forging the man’s signature on two checks to purchase clothes and shoes costing approximately $1,313.63 on the date of the forgery, and confirmed it was his signature on the forged checks.

He also told police he was an American with dual citizenship, was White and a professor, police documents show.

Santos said his mother, who only learned of the stolen checks around a month after he took them, asked him “with despair” to return the checkbook, but he had already ripped up the remaining checks and threw them in a manhole.

“He [Santos] acknowledged having been responsible for forging the signatures on the checks, also confirming that he had destroyed the remaining checks,” authorities wrote in an inquiry report about Santos. The document containing the confession was signed by Santos on November 18, 2010.

CNN has reached out to an attorney for Santos.

SUSPICIOUS CHECKS

Santos signed two checks at the store as if he was the account owner, court documents show. The checks were intended to pay for the purchase in two installments – set for July 25 and August 25, 2008.

The store clerk became suspicious after the signatures on the checks did not match, he told police. Two days after Santos made the purchases, a man named Thiago came into the same store with the shoes Santos had purchased and tried to return them for a different size. He said a friend gave him the shoes and was unaware of any illicit activity.

The clerk had to pay the amount of the fraudulent purchase in installments to the store, he told police, although the store ended up waving some of the payments for the clerk, the store manager told the police in 2010. Soon after the sale, they were able to find the bank account’s owner and talk to him on the phone, the manager said. He said he had closed the account in 2006 after losing the checkbook.

At one point the clerk was able to track down Santos using social media and, he said, Santos promised to pay him back but never did. The clerk turned over pictures of Santos to police that he had found on social media. Screenshots of the conversations between the clerk and Santos are included in the documents obtained by CNN.

Santos told investigators that neither his mother, nor his friend Thiago, were aware of the fraudulent purchases at the time of the crime.

EFFORTS TO FIND SANTOS

In June 2011, investigators filed a request with the Civil Police to take immediate judicial measures against Santos. In September, a judge summoned him to respond to the complaint through an attorney. Neither Santos nor an attorney ever responded. Three months later, authorities tried to deliver a summons for Santos at the prior home of his mother but he was not able to be located and she no longer lived there.

Again in 2013, neither Santos, nor his mother or grandmother at their former addresses, were able to be located. In October of that year, an edict was published in Rio de Janeiro’s justice gazette summoning him to appear in court after authorities were unable to locate him. Santos was given 10 days to offer his defense but he never appeared. A judge eventually suspended the statute of limitations in order for the case to be reopened later if Santos was found, the documents show.

As recently as October 2020, a document from the judiciary said they still had never been able to locate Santos to prosecute him for the crime.

Brazilian authorities, having now verified Santos’ location, will make a formal request to the US Justice Department to notify Santos of the charges, Maristela Pereira, a spokeswoman for the Rio de Janeiro prosecutor’s office, told CNN. The prosecutor’s office told CNN the request will be filed upon reopening on Friday.

In an interview with the New York Post last week, Santos denied that he had been charged with any crime in Brazil, saying: “I am not a criminal here – not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world. Absolutely not. That didn’t happen.”

You are that deep-rootedness of God. You are what God wants to be when God grows up. So love yourself, and love the earth, and love one another, and if you fall in love and stay in love, love will teach you where to go.

There are no separate parts

"A culture without God is sheer cosmic information, in which the human person becomes part of the information that can be deleted or changed. Faith tells us otherwise. We are here because we are the thinking portion of the universe, part of a cosmic wholeness that is grounded in divine reality. God is the Whole of the whole in evolution, distinct yet inseparable from everything else that exists. Relational holism means that everything is connected. There are no separate parts; rather, each distinct entity is determined by its relationships. The works of Jung and Teilhard impel us to rethink the Christian story as a relational whole - a "theohology." Holism calls for a new type of logic, one defined not by causality but relationality. The logic of love is the logic of the whole: the energy of love is the energy of the whole. Love sees the whole, while the partial intellect sees fragments. We humans have a capacity to actualize the whole by personalizing divine love." -Ilia Delio, from The Not-Yet God
