WEAKNESSES:
- Energy Wings: Raphael is able to form large, luminous wings from his back made out of shimmering golden energy. While the wings are solid and thus cannot be physically touched, the energy they're made of gives off a soothing warmth when someone is near them or passes through them. With his wings, he's able to fly at great speeds tho not at the scale of something like a jet. The size of the wings depends on the amount of energy he's able to put into them at the time.
- Enhanced Strength: His strength is double that of a non-powered person of his physique.
- Enhanced Speed: His speed is double that of a non-powered person of his physique.
SKILLS:
- Combat: Raphael has trained with Aegis since joining roughly three years ago and thus has become a skilled combatant.
- Flight: Due to his experience with his wings, he's become quite skilled when flying.
- Multilingual: He's fluent in a few languages including English, French, ASL, and BSL.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: Raphael's abilities don't make him invulnerable or immortal. He's still just as susceptible to harm as any non-powered person.
- Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his ability often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
- Energy Draining: Because his wings are made of energy, if his energy is drained enough, he loses his wings and cannot reform them until he's had time to rest and regain that energy.
Appearance
GENERAL: Raphael stands at five feet and eleven inches tall. He has fair skin and warm brown eyes irises. His hair is short, curly, and a medium brown shade. He doesn't have any specific style, preferring to wear whatever he likes in the moment and feels comfortable in. He has light stubble on his face.
COSTUME: Raphael's costume is a mixture of black, white, and gold coloring. It's mainly black and white with subtle gold accents littered about. His suit is a one piece made from fire proof material with a belt looped around his waist. He wears boots that stop just short of his knees and gloves on his hands. He also wears a zip up windbreaker jacket, unzipped. His mask covers his whole head.

Personality
Raphael is genuinely kind to those around him until he feels he's been given a reason not to. He believes that sometimes all it takes is a smile to make someone's day. He's outgoing to a degree, mainly when he's with friends or Aegis teammates, but it also introverted and gets nervous and uncomfortable when left alone with strangers or put in a social scenario without someone he already knows he can lean on.
He's also very protective of anyone. He doesn't have to personally know someone to want to keep them safe. And that's all he wants to do: keep people safe. That's why he joined Aegis, not caring about any fame that came from it. In fact he's quite awkward when put in the spotlight or shown any form of attention or affection, easily blushing and turning shy.
His main goal when on missions is protection, often focusing on getting civilians out of the way before actually joining a fight. He genuinely believes things do get better, even if they can often take time, and thus often finds himself sent to talk down potential suicide risks, which he doesn't mind. In a way, he's desperate to help people in any way he can, believing that if there is a small chance he can save someone, he has to take it - and he never believes there's no chance.

History
Raphael was born to the upper class of Astaria City. His parents were wealthy and barely in his life, instead hiring a nanny to raise him. Growing up, he often thought his parents were distant and cold but convinced himself that they loved him and cared about him, that they were doing what they thought was best for him - even if that meant they took zero interest in his life... Until the day came that they took an interest in all the wrong ways.
At sixteen years old, he came out as gay and trans, his parents disowned him. He lived on the streets for a few months before the nanny who raised him found him and took him in. At eighteen years old, his powers manifested. He'd seen on the news that there was a fire at his parents' mansion. Despite his personal feelings, he rushed to the scene, managing to push his way past the firefighters to help, though he had no clue how he could help.
He found some of the mansion's staff in the building and his wings manifested as he desperately tried to save them. He managed to get them out but the building collapsed before he could find his parents. He later learned that they hadn't made it out of the mansion. He also learned that they had neglected to legally disown him and he inherited their fortune.
At nineteen years old, he became Icarus and joined Aegis, hoping to make a difference, to do some good in the world.
