Editing Araxiel

Seeing his efforts spurned, the works of his brethren ignored, Araxiel slowly grew bitter towards the humans. It wasn't their ignorance, but their willfulness to remain so that troubled him. How could these be the greatest of His creations, when they were content to waste their limitless potential and gifts? It wasn't a desire to follow Lucifer that eventually called him to rebel, but dissatisfaction. The angels had been forced to work unseen, their efforts unappreciated, for beings that were clearly inferior despite His words.

At first merely a messenger, the need to take a more active role was eventually forced upon him. He became a speaker for the cause, a voice to sway the hearts and minds, to bolster morale unify those who would stand against God and his loyalists. In so doing, he was spared committing many atrocities of war himself, but spurred others on to commit acts of great heroism, sacrifice, or horror as the need arose.

A desire for adoration was shared with vessel and demon, the former wishing for fame and attention, and a drive to finally have the long-due appreciation and respect in the latter.

With an escape from hell and a second chance, Araxiel longs for everything he feels he's been cheated of: attention to and appreciation of himself and his abilities. He regrets the rebellion only insofar as how it denied him Heaven, and so seeks to create his own paradise on earth; a place of luxury and comfort, power and devoted followers, and absolute loyalty.

Humans are a poor joke told by God, who then punished Araxiel for not laughing. Trapped in hell and forced to watch them play out their existence, he's only been reaffirmed of his beliefs: humans are ungrateful, weak, corruptible, flawed. There are a few who aspire to be greater than they are, and just as a few would answer his calls to leave the shore, he can't help but recognize them for it. As a whole, however, he holds no fondness for the pretenders.
