denouement player handbook test.
The Player Handbook is an OOC player-run resource meant to serve twofold: provide the players a space to discuss game events and details, and to give us a space to organize player-centric interests.
To that end, please feel free (and extremely encouraged!) to dive in and submit info and ideas along with change and update suggestions. It is structured so that any additions and updates don’t rely on any one person — if the Angry Moose comes out of my laptop screen to whisk me away from RP and be actively Angry at people togheter, the Handbook won’t suffer for it! Hooray for the Handbook and you know what? Hooray for me for bagging the Angry Moose, I mean— really, he’s quite sweet under all that frowning. (Ie, I am not the owner of the Handbook. While I am comfortable organizing and helping get everyone together, I certainly don’t like making decisions beyond style. It is as much yours as any other player's.)
Places to check before adding information / asking questions here:
It’s probably worth it to mention that the information here might not be “correct” in that our speculations as players don’t actually reflect what the mods are planning or intending. There will be a mod comment to direct game plot questions to, so if you aren’t sure whether you should act on a specific piece of information found here, you can pretty easily ask a mod about it here. Please continue using the appropriate game posts for general game questions though (ex, game mechanics clarifications, issues with other players, etc).

Castiel can see things hidden to humans. He is capable of immediately discovering a person's identity or their prior medical status by simply smelling their remains, regardless of the condition of said remains. He is also capable of speaking to and understanding animals, and even listening in on radio frequencies.- Protective Charm
Castiel is able to protect someone from harm beforehand, as seen when he prevented his vessel, Jimmy Novak from burning his hand on a pot of boiling water when asked for a sign of faith.- Apporting
Castiel is able to teleport Dean to St. Mary's Convent from Chuck's house with a touch of his hand to his forehead, and later teleports him away from Zachariah to his side at a roadside.- Mental Manipulation
By placing his hand on a person's forehead, Castiel is able to manipulate a person's mind, being able to create, erase or alter memories or simply alter their perception of events altogether. He easily tore down the mental dam inserted by Death on Sam that protected him from the memories of him being tortured in Lucifer's Cage. Though he was unable to cure Sam from the resulting madness it caused, he was able to transfer the mental damage from Sam to himself. He is also able to show a person the true version of their memories, not just the version they choose to remember. This is shown when he makes Dean see what really happened when he escaped Purgatory. He is also able to enter other people's minds and take someone with him as he entered Fred Jones' mind with Sam. However, this requires him to maintain physical contact with both parties. Also he could perform a process to remove Fred's powers, due to them being mentally based, presumably by causing damage to specific parts of his mind, as he ended in a completely catatonic, unresponsive state at the end of the process.- Advanced Smiting
He can instantly kill several demons with great ease by using this ability. He was also capable of killing various monsters using this ability such as Lenore, or other creatures even in Purgatory. He tried to smite a Leviathan in Purgatory, but he was in able to. However, more powerful beings such as the archangel Raphael, however, were immune to this power and could also extend this protection to lesser beings such as demons. It is revealed that this power burns out the eyes of the being it is used on and liquifies all of their organs.- Vessel Locking
Castiel has displayed the ability to grab a demon's smoke form and force it back into its body to smite it.
On a scale from 0 - 10, how effective do you want Castiel's abilities to be on your character? If you'd rather talk it out depending on the situation, feel free to put TBD in place of a number! There's a sample comment, but go hog wild and do whatever you want with it!

Note For Denouement: if you're familiar with the canon, and have any pointers for how I'm playing him, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Especially because I've been playing Cas for a long time, and I've gotten too comfortable with him before. I don't want to push it too far but because of the nature of the game and his canon being immediately pre-season 5 he's less compassionate and willing to jump to save someone from death. I'd love to hear if you think I'm taking it far enough to make him OOC, and please feel free to comment here if you feel that's happening. Thanks!

[The square is busy with the usual fare; the hum of a normal Friday night crowd the first thing that can be heard over Castiel's device. Water splashes as he moves through it, kneeling down toward the center before beginning to chant -- at first just a murmur and then growing a little louder.]
--zacare ca od zamran! Odo cicle qaa! Zorge, lap zirdo noco mad...
[His blood starts to fill the pool from the cut in his hand and he slumps down a little bit, obviously straining to achieve some purpose. He's silent and still for a long moment before lifting his head again, eyes to the sky.]

Castiel has been wandering around the City, showing off and smelling like Heaven, eagle feathers and HOPE. That's right, don't look now but he's next to you, with no regard for proximity and all up in your business. Careful, now he's on the other side of the street, glowing. Literally, glowing. Like an angel. 'Cause he is one.
Go ahead, stab him. Shoot him in the face. Don't punch him, you'll break your hand. Want to go to the other side of the City? .2 seconds flat, you're here.
Don't act like you can't see that wingspan. You wanna touch them? You know you do.]
[ooc: I swear someday I will make a srs bsns post. For now...feel free to assault him.]
