Providence

Providence Infirmary Team:

Ezequias "Zeke" Rosario

"You're a Tainted trying to drag humans down to Hell. You helped break the Seals. You inseminated an innocent girl with Rebirth Seed. I do not need to hear about your reasons."

Summary: A gifted teen who wants to be a world-renowned doctor. But is kept from achieving his full potential because of a bad reputation thanks to his criminal family, low self-esteem, and excessive anxiety having him overthink and worry about everything from the fate of the world to innocuous things like if that gum he swallowed a few years is going to come back to haunt him. He hopes to end the conflict between angels and Healers.

The aftermath of Kian Elbertsson's plague has left him with a somewhat contemptuous mindset towards the Tainted Generation, evil beings, and, potentially, the entire human race. Now with a belief that spiritual salvation is pointless and he should stick to saving only the physical part (of those who deserve it).

First Appearance: Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 1 - Ailment

Race: Human (Columbian)

Age: 17

Abilities: Black and White Magic. 10th born of the Tainted Generation. He has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer's Garb, known as "Vesklepios," which allows him to channel Black Magic to summon a nearly infinite amount of blood vessels of whichever length or size is needed. The veins have many applications depending on one's creativity.

Theme: Mattashi - Level One

Ugo Morata

"I know what waits for me at the end and it's nothing. Wanting something is not enough to get it. I've learned that. The hard way. So then you tell yourself all: "I have to do is work hard for it and then I'll earn it." And then you discover, no, that isn't it either, so then what is it you have to do to get what you want? The answer is, it's not up to you. It's up to a random algorithm that runs the universe..."

Summary: Lazy and unapologetic about his lecherous behavior. Ugo possesses incredible memory-related abilities, such as photographic recall, but all that is cemented in his mind is how he will attain his first girlfriend. Ugo has been called many things (not many of them good... mostly coming from women), although "selfish" isn't one of them.

He will step up to defend those he cares about when necessary, and despite his carefree attitude, he internalizes troubling thoughts and tries to bury them with as much as possible to keep himself sane.

The aftermath of Kian Elbertsson's plague has left Ugo with a strange, avoidant behavior towards women where, instead of going after them, he keeps from interacting with them altogether. Ashlin Kristov messed him up more than he realized, leaving him to believe that he is highly undesirable and will never get into a relationship.

First Appearance: Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 3 - Complications

Race: Human (Spaniard)

Age: 17

Abilities: Black and White Magic. 6th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer's Garb, known as "Rutapexy Samhita" granting him impressive cutting magic that can sever anything at an atomic level and even cut through certain seemingly unbreakable spells. Also can use stitching magic that can conjoin two items and make them inseparable, making him the strongest asset when it comes to surgical operations.

Avery "AJ" Dotson

"Even after everything she did… You still choose her over me?"

Summary: Self-conscious about her height and lack of "feminity." She enjoys exercise, eating right (even dedicating herself to learning various complex healthy dishes), and following sports but never applies herself to any of the school's sports teams due to her shyness. She is overall a sweet, nice person but gets antagonistic whenever the topic of religion is brought up. After facing "unfair" outcomes when it came to her body and observing the other graver injustices of the world, she came to despise the idea of God, hoping deep down that everything about Heaven is a lie, and then one day, an angel falls out of the sky.

While struggling to contribute more to the Infirmary Team by experimenting with otherworldly foods, she also deals with her conflicting feelings towards Zeke.

First Appearance: Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 1 - Ailment

Race: Human (American)

Age: 17

Abilities: Great understanding of nutrition and dietary topics. Possibly can apply this knowledge to the supernatural world. She has acrobatic skills and commendable physical strength for a girl her age (though she hates it).

Affiliations: Providence Infirmary

Status: Alive

Naomi

"Then where do I belong…?"

Summary: Somehow created near the tail end of the 13th Tainted Generation's war on Heaven with the sexual union of legendary seraphim known as "Cathetel" and the just as legendary demon "Terthran," which resulted in both of their eradications. Naomi was locked in a cage at the highest layer of Heaven, Primum Paraiso, on the mountaintop of Maliel. She was visited by many angels throughout her imprisonment, but the nicest visits were by Nananiel, whom she grew a fatherly connection towards. She was let out by Nananiel to help out with an operation, and after things went awry, she was found by Zeke, Ugo, and AJ.

She's guileless and excitable about learning new things. Contrary to what most angels believe, she isn't violent but will resort to it if the lives of her loved ones are at stake.

Acts as the Providence Infirmary's nurse and custodian. She currently works at Heath's Sports Bar as a waitress.

She currently struggles with the feeling of being alone in the universe, as the only one of her kind to exist.

First Appearance: Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 4 - Tainted

Race: Angel/Demon Hybrid

Age: Approximately 300 years old.

Abilities: Being both angel and demon gives her not only a bizarre spiritual physiology but access to Black and White magic. Fights using strange gray fire that has the properties and functions of both Hellfire and Holy Fire. Is able to transform into a colossal being with a gray sun head.

Aida Koshiko (Kitsune Form):

"Enough, Aka. Please… tell me why you're doing this."

Summary: A medical wanderer. Exploring the realms and studying creatures and their mixed breeds. Hopes for one day for peace amongst all beings across the Realms. Can be a bit of a perv when it comes to her specialty.

Now as the Infirmary's newest team member, the human/kitsune hybrid works on getting used to her new friends and working in a group. She seeks the location of the Amdukias, a lost endangered creature she wants to take back to her farm.

Angels:

Nananiel

"I had to do it… The life Irin is forcing them into… is no life at all."

Summary: All Nananiel wants to do is help out humans and maybe try out some of the things they have the privilege of experiencing. That's why he was happy when he was suddenly promoted to the rank of "Dominion Chief," putting him in charge of management of the Human Realm.

A continuous series of bad luck led to Nananiel being demoted to the rank of an angel of the Third Sphere. Being banished from Heaven must survive on earth on his own, but is adamant about not using any of his angelic abilities to help himself out.

Nananiel now gets his intel concerning angelic affairs from an unnamed contact.

Following his promotion to Manager of the Burger Queen branch, he works diligently while trying to come up with his next major move.

Dabriel

"Maybe we don't want that because we fear becoming obsolete."

Summary: The Virtue Chief, whose commendable position of authority (which he has held for over a millennium) is sometimes overlooked because of his carefree nature.

When it comes to the Realms, the main priority of Dabriel and his choir of Virtues is simply to ensure that the art world stays intact and creativity continues to thrive. As well as enabling miracles for those deemed worthy of its grace.

Gill's Brigade:

Gilliam "Gill" Destrian

"You don't know anything about hardships, you absolute cockwomble."

Summary: Gill wants an amicable union amongst the Tainted Generation to achieve something great and have each member reach their full potential. Had a traumatizing childhood, being born into a religious family and later becoming intrigued with demonology was an unfortunate mix for Gill. He managed to escape after years of abuse and now lives lavishly with an army of servants he cares deeply for and claims he doesn't mistreat any of them. He runs a hospital in the Netherworld where he treats demons.

Holding a young woman captive whom, presumably, he forcefully impregnated with a Rebirth Seed. The full details of the sick plot have yet to be revealed.

Affiliations: 14th Tainted Generation of Healers, Gill's Brigade

Ashlin Kristov

"Don't touch my face!"

Summary: All Ashlin cares about is making a profit off selling high-quality Containers (which are in high demand). Prodigal, self-indulgent, excessive, wasteful. Enjoys lavishing herself with riches. Only wants the most extravagant of items. Cold and brutally honest. Not really a fan of people (or living creatures of any kind) and only looks out for herself. Any action that grants her the most spoils, she'll take. Her cravings for things is never satiated. She will do almost anything as long as she gets something in return (and has to have value of some kind). Immoral like a mercenary.

Proclaimed lover of Gilliam "Gill" Destrian. With her unwavering allegiance to her bethrothed's plans she uses her magic to make his dreams a reality no matter the cost.

14th Tainted Generation of Healers:

Akachi Adeyemi

"Have I ever told you about the time Zeus and I did a prank on Poseidon?"

Summary: Follows a high-octane, hedonistic lifestyle. Always chasing after the next adventure, another surge of adrenaline. Drinking, drugs, parties, sex, all of it, and boasting continually (name-dropping to an annoying degree). He likes to stay in his own lane, hanging out with the gods. Spending so much time with deities made him lose touch with reality and regular human behavior, thus the reason behind his arrogance.

Helped with clearing the city of Zürich from Kian's disease but vanished right after.

Current whereabouts are unknown.

Wade Rupp

"Nah, man, I am not a fighter. You know this, unless you try to steal some goods from my stash, and then I'll bite you. That's about it."

Summary: Wade has a lazy approach when it comes to supernatural medicine. Taking away the pain for as long as possible by just using supplements is the way for him (Even if it may not be a real long-term solution).

Uses a cocktail of pain-relievers and hallucinogens throughout the day.

Presumed to be in a Realm somewhere in the universe, high out of his mind.

Kian Elbertsson

"The poor are still people, though, and that's the problem,"

Summary: Introvert. Enjoys time alone. Speaking with his microorganisms. Dejected but calm most of the time and rarely complains. Labeled as the "weirdo" of the Healers.

After losing a loved one due to superficial reasons, he decided to unleash a mutating plague onto the Human Realm, aiming to end bigotry and prejudice among all creatures. He believed it to be the best way to do it, but his plans were soiled, and Kian, ultimately, met a cruel end.

Yaalon Tahan

"We can change the world, Ezequias, and achieve true equity for mankind. Those with no access to education, sanitation, or basic health services can attend my classes for free and learn how to harness Mana to improve their health and knowledge."

Summary: Seeing the disparity of riches in his country, lackluster access to education, and people in poverty having access to medical needs. Yaalon wanted to teach people how to use magic, healing magic to be exact, on themselves to help with their endeavors.

Opening a school where he'll make this possible.

His ambitious and virtuous goals made him a target for murder, and unfortunately, he lost his life for it.
