Raphael

Raphael is an Elemental from the Northwind Federation.

Appearance
Raphael is a pretty man with long blue hair, brown eyes and a mole under his right eye. He usually wears an empty smile on his face and radiates an aura of authority.

Personality
Raphael is very calm and mature. Despite being the middle child he acts more like an older brother to those around him. He rarely raises his voice but if he does everyone follows his orders with no questions asked.

Story
Raphael was born as a son to the Royal House of the Northwind Federation. Having not much power and wealth to begin with Raphael grew up rather poor- with whole situation getting even worse after the Great War. Desperatly the family agreed to a rich family to buy one of their sons to have royal offspring. Their daughter's choice fell on Raphael, completely ignoring the fact that he isn't into women and would never be happy with her. Despite this fate he agreed to follower her wish, making life for his siblings and parents easier.

At age 22 he was married to this girl and they spend the next 2 years together. While Raphael did agree to this situation at first he quickly realised what a bad choice this whole deal was. Uninterested in his wife she forced him to sleep with her, often with physical force by her father. Instead of being treated like a person all the family did was show him off- how lucky their daughter was to find such a fine and royal husband. At one point the family's plan worked out: Raphael's wife got pregnant with his child. He hated the idea of being a father and wished for her and her unborn child to just disappear, something that would soon become reality. His wife suffered a miscarriage and Raphael was immidiately struck with guilt, believing his wish killed his own child. The daughter, no longer wanting to see or hear from Raphael wished for him to be gone. The family got rid of him.

Not knowing what to do with his life he searched for help in a well-known therapist – Devido. Explaining his situation Devido did the best he could for Raphael, helping him to find a flat and the funds he needed to start a new life. Up to this day, Raphael remains to be one of Devido's patients, still learning to understand that he was the victim in this situation.

After a while Raphael met another man at Devido's office. He was big, tall and scary-looking, forced to seek help for his anger issues. His name was Yvica and both quickly realised that Raphael's soothing aura helped to make Yvica control his emotions without having to take strong medication. Eventually they grew closer and became a couple, living together since.

Night of the Living Dead
Raphael and Yvica both play a major role in the RP, being the first Elementals connecting Vincent and Nyx to the Crypto Mafia.

Yvica
Raphael and Yvica met at Devido's office several times before starting to talk. Since then both grew closer and closer until they became a couple, now living together at Raphael's flat. Raphael is the only person able to calm Yvica down whenever he feels angry and supports him in anything, no matter how dangerous it may seem. He enjoys Yvica being very protective of him.

After joining Vincent in his fight against the Crypto Mafia Raphael does his best to support him and Yvica, not scared of the consequences of working against such a dangerous group.

Devido
Raphael is very thankful for everything Devido did for him and considers him a friend.

Brynhild
Brynhild used to be the family's knight before her death and was very close to Raphael. He heard from her death after marrying his wife and a few months later rumours that she turned into a children stealing Undead. He only wishes for her to be free.

Nyx & Hieronymus
Raphael was one of the few to understand that the relationship of the two had no romantic meaning, yet he still enjoyed teasing the two about it. After hearing from Vincent that Nyx "had many sleepovers with Veselov" he quickly realised what it meant and worried about Nyx's wellbeing.
