History:
The only way most would describe Angelo's early life was a living hell. It was all because of his psychopathic, sadistic twin brother, Devlin. It seemed from the moment they were born Devlin made it his purpose to make his younger twin sibling's life a true pain. Sadly, their parents were quite meek and timid and did little to defend him from the emotional and physical abuse he suffered. Fortunately, Angelo never took it lying down and did everything in his power to defend himself from his brother's wrath. One day, in first grade, Angelo defended himself when Devlin attacked him with scissors. Devlin was immediately expelled and Angelo finally found a safe haven in school. It was here he met his best friend a sole mate, Vivian Indigo, and her older brother Daryl.
Upon making more friends over the years, Angelo developed a love for the goth style, theater, video games, dungeons and dragons, and all forms of rock and roll and metal music. He found passions in being a video game blogger, keyboard player, actor, and singer. Even Devlin's harsh treatment couldn't deter him very much.
However, as they grew up, and Devlin became stronger, he turned his horrendous sights on their fragile, emotionally weak parents.
One day, at the age of 16, Angelo was horrified to see Devlin trying to convince their mother to kill herself. In a fit of rage, he attacked his older twin brother. The fight was so fierce it was heard by the neighbors and police were called. Blood flew as they viciously attacked each other, tossing objects and furniture everywhere.
Then, when Devlin slashed Angelo on the forehead, leaving a wound unlike any he had before, Angelo finally reached the breaking point. With a massive, life wrenching scream, he unleashed power deep within him he never knew he had. The powers of a liminal. Blue Aether burst from his palms and eyes and left Devlin too badly injured to continue fighting. When the police arrived, Angelo surrendered and tried to explain himself, but the police did not believe him. Devlin, being a master manipulator, somehow managed to convince the responding police he was the psychopathic abuser in the family. Angelo begged his mom and dad to tell the cops of his lies, but to his shock and dismay, they sided with Devlin out of fear and accused him of torturing them their whole lives. Losing all hope, Angelo collapsed.
While recovering in the hospital, Angelo prayed that everyone would see the truth about his evil twin brother. Days later, he was approached by an officer who went by the nickname Double E. The cop reassured him he and his allies saw through Devlin's manipulative act and arrested him for his lifelong crimes. Angelo was relieved all his years of suffered at the hands of his brother were over.
Unfortunately, his parents were permanently scarred by the event and never stopped believing that one day Devlin would return and ruin their lives again. Angelo swore he would never become like his parents and would remain strong and hopeful no matter what.
Years passed and Angelo found a new passion in his liminal powers. Surprisingly, his strength and abilities increased and multiplied at astonishing rates. Impressively similar to a lifelong liminal like Vivian.
Eventually, after college, he found a purpose with more liminals with help from DJ and social worker Johnny Smith. Together he and his four friends became the Paramystics. An online content creator team that fought against evil by revealing truths, telling stories, preventing catastrophes, and battling bad liminals.
He became known as the beast for his indescribable toughness and ferocious passion.
Powers and abilities:
Angelo's blue Aether is one of the most common variants. Second only to red. It is also the third weakest, but Angelo managed to make it incredibly strong by summoned specialties hardly anyone ever comprehended. Like all liminals, he can manipulate the Aether energy to create attack forces. However, instead of them being magical based like Vivian with beams and energy orbs, his attacks are solid matter based. He can create tentacles, spikes, claws, and shrouds that take full physical form. It does not create lasting effects like burns, welts, or disorientation, but can bruise, cut, and grapple.
By far Angelo's most distinguishing power is his ability to control and produce electricity. His electric shocks work like multiple tasers that can paralyze and subdue any foe with ease. He can also magnetize items and people and disrupt their concentration with static waves that stimulate the brain. Besides combat, he can power devices like phones and laptops when they lost their charge. Despite his efforts, he has yet to perfect the skill of restarting a stopped heart.
From his passion for rock and roll music, Angelo managed to gain the power of sound manipulation. His screams can shatter glass and shake entire buildings with powerful vibrations. Besides his sonic screeches, he can throw sounds like his voice several miles away much like a super ventriloquist. This allows him to communicate with others from a five-mile radius without using a phone or other device. He often uses this skill to send warnings to crowds of people. Another skill is manipulating sound waves to send the sounds in other directions. This can confuse his enemies when he's trying to be stealthy.
Angelo's eyes can attack and search. He wields heat vision that can melt plastic, burn wood, and weaken metal. Even more impressive is his Infared vision that can see the heat of humans and objects in total darkness. This makes it impossible for his opponents to hide from him in the dark.
Some of the common liminal powers Angelo has are enhanced speed and strength. He is twice as fast as a normal human and three times as strong. Lifting up to 350 pounds he can outmuscle almost all ordinary humans. Combining his speed, strength, and practiced technique, Angelo learned how to jump over 30 feet high. This is his main method of travel in combat. Jumping speedily from building to building faster than anyone can run or some cars can drive through roads.
Like all liminals, Angelo developed a toughness that can withstand injuries that would be fatal to humans. However, his resistance to injury is powerful even for a liminal. He can lose three quarters of his blood and still be able to fight. Thanks to the healing necklace Vivian gifted him, he is always likely to survive even the worst, most deadly wounds.
Personality:
Angelo may seem gentle, sweet, and shy among his friends and good-natured strangers, but his true self is full of courage and determination. Some people even claim he has a split personality that is unleashed in the heat of danger. His friends are almost intimidated by the fact he seemingly has two sides to him.
Like all his friends, he is very kind and loves to help others in need. Though the darkness and negativity of the world sometimes leaves him a bit pessimistic, with the help of his friends and online supporters, he remains strong willed no matter what.
One thing many people love most about Angelo is his passion for his interests. His hard work and dedication inspire others to never give up.
Like Vivian, Angelo has a weakness linked to emotion. Whenever his anger grows too strong, he loses control of his powers and unleashes them in a frenzy. For this reason, Angelo is very careful to keep his rage under control and never let it overcome his sanity.

The blue streaks in Angelo's hair and his bright blue eyes are a symbol of his blue Aether powers.
He identifies as non-binary and is bisexual.
His favorite food is chicken sandwiches.
Angelo can sing high opera notes. His favorite song to sing is Total Eclipse from Klaus Nomi.
