PERSONALITY:

Compared to other Seraphim Ceres’ personality is particularly admirable. She has a code of honor that is what has enabled her to gain a following nearly as large as her mother’s own. Her code of honor states that a being shall not receive death unless they receive it, for the world is full of many children and that is all they are. That being said she has more honor than her kin because she will usually uphold her promises and oaths unless angered, much like a deity themselves.

Ceres has a warrior spirit; she is prepared to be a warrior protector of those that need it, a warrior spirit effectively of those that are unprotected or bullies or mistreated by those who should love him. Her life’s work is a focus on perfecting her body so that she can endure more kinds of combat. Her goal is to become a better leader, a stronger leader, than her mother ever was.

Ceres, like her mother, is one of the most manipulative beings ever to come into existence despite the fact that she tries to be different from her mother and despite the fact that she has an honorable personality compared to other Seraphim. She is capable of taking advantage of anything and everything that comes her way as if the strings are wrapped around her finger and she is puppeting a marionette. In essence Ceres can and will play dirty when the chance arises.

On top of all of this the woman’s upbringing during the Renaissance by a woman angered by the fact the old Gods had been forgotten molded Ceres into a bitter, but endlessly ambitious, woman capable of great deeds. Her leadership skills are unparalleled but the abuse brought on by a mother with what is clearly some form of a severe psychological disorder scarred her permanently. She’s irritable sometimes, at times insensitive, and in general very difficult to deal with; for the same reason all of these traits are what has made her a better person and a great leader.

INTRODUCTION:

Ceres is a relatively young entity that has thrived since her creation in the year of 1515 AD during a time when Rome still had some relative power. In addition Ceres is also the name of Ceres’ mother, a powerful Seraphim that predates the “modern” Ceres and first started the myth but she too fell to the same fate as Ceres. Though considered to be somewhat young by her kin Ceres is much wiser than those around her due to the things that she went through as a child. Ceres was born at the perfect time for turmoil to strike across the globe numerous times throughout one of the most turbulent periods in the existence that Ceres remembers. As you can see the myth of Ceres begins now and that myth is a powerful one. With her birth began a sequence of miraculous events that molded her into a being that happened to be humble compared to her brethren.

THE MOTHER CERES:

Ceres, the mother, was born into a family of entities that had long been known as the Keres, a namesake that she has long tried to avoid the influence of. The name Keres is a relatively modern one compared to what they used to be called, but the point still stands that they were so terrifying that they were considered to be demons who rose up out of Pandora’s Box to strike horror in the hearts of humans. This family could be seen in the battlefield acting as a malevolent version of the Valkyries they once were in the myths of the Proto-Germanic people near the beginning of civilization. The Keres were monstrosities that had long been abhorred by their kin, and were believed to be direct descendants of a bonding of unholy matrimony between the Seraphim and a group of dark entities. In essence these beings were the thing of nightmares, and with their high organization and capacity to strike fear into others, not to mention a few other quirks, their nature needed to be abandoned.

Ceres was going to be the herald of an apocalypse long sought out by her people so that they may cleanse the Earth of the pitiful creatures such as the weak humans and the Semi-Angelic Nephilim. Instead she became a different kind of angel than her kin(though she still did develop a somewhat malevolent personality, and she isn’t good by any stretch of the word), and despite how she was raised she still became better than them. The repercussions of the incident of being an angel among the Keres that was not boldly malevolent, but instead manipulative and therefore “dishonored” would be seen later, but she held it off for quite a long while. Ceres would come to be seen as a deity of the Romans but that would only be for her manipulative skill. This skill and her traits of seeming benevolence would lead to her becoming a “Fallen Seraphim among the Keres”, thus being abandoned by her namesake.

While using her bought time and significantly shortening it the Wise Seraphim took up the mantle as a defender of Rome despite the fault of the state. This fault was that the Daemons of Rome had taken up that mantle already, something that would occur with Italy as well, but this was irrelevant to Ceres. Ceres saw the Romans as a people that needed protecting and by protecting these people she would develop a wealth that enabled her to buy anything in her life she wished. This need to protect Rome had to be explained to her kin so that they didn’t punish her then and there, though she knew they would later once they realized what she was doing (which was ripping them off). The explanation given was that she was manipulating Rome for the apocalypse to begin and since the Keres saw her as a sort of messiah of wickedness her actions were approved of.

One of the many things that Ceres did to manipulate her family and Rome was develop relationships with the most powerful men on the planet. For decades she taught wealthy men better agricultural skills and mothered what children they had, as well as mothering their people, in exchange for their following of her. Thus Ceres began to develop a cult of followers across the planet that, while now a shadow of its former self, became the reason for her being seen as a Roman deity of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. What she did next, however, took much longer and would allow her to build a more permanent following, and this is what would make her lose her wings.

Ceres fell in the eyes of her people when she committed heresy against her family by going out of her way to use the bodies of her husbands and the bodies of her dozen or so children and their wives and husbands to, essentially, build an army. In majority these children were only Half-Angelic, with some of them being part of another race but very few of them actually being purely of angelic blood. To hide herself and her children, and their children, she made use of the bunkers around the world that her various mates had built in her name. Ceres would hide her husbands and the wives and husbands of her children away in bunkers around the world and sleep with them every so often, while making sure to keep the pot clean. This allowed Ceres to give birth to many children over many different decades; these children would become the very downfall of those that betrayed her.

The Keres issues a proclamation that Ceres was to surrender all of what she had built up if she did not want to lose her life, something that terrified her. This would have led to Ceres being at fault for the death of hundreds of her children, something that was completely unacceptable. These two things played into her decision but Ceres knew she had to do the right thing, and since her legacy would be living on if she didn’t surrender her children or her empire she sacrificed herself to the Keres. The Keres have always been a peculiar people which is why they did what they did when it came to Ceres’ punishment. Due to her bravery and her boldness, the Keres removed her wings instead of dooming the supposed herald of the apocalypse to death. This is how her daughter, the modern day Ceres, became cursed.

This action is what would lead to the complete and total extinction of the Keres and their various cousins with similar, or even completely different, purposes. Save for a few of the branches of the Keres, such as what remained of the Valkyrie or Disir or the Norns, they were wiped out. The war wasn’t as brutal as one would think for the Keres that died had overestimated their relationships with their cousins, and underestimated the force that Ceres wielded. The Keres were replaced by the Children of Ceres, which absorbed the Valkyrie and the Disir and the Norns, and thus a gathering of angels had occurred. These benevolent and malevolent entities were all highly manipulative, and each of them were extremely devoted to Ceres for ending the reign of the tyrannic Keres.


THE DAUGHTER CERES:

The age of antiquities and the age of the Dark Ages both had ended relatively uneventful with Ceres doing nothing but trying to build up her organized people through improving them as they were. Numerous operations were ran, knowledge sought out, colleges founded, and the hope that they would find keys to powerful information instilled in Ceres’ followers. Everything seemed to be falling into place with Ceres the Wise and her metallic wings. It then, during the era of the renaissance, that her thirteenth and most prized child was born.

Ceres the Wise was a mantle The Mother Ceres would lose when she took her daughter and cut her wings off to make her like her. In an era where she had been forgotten and her power over the world had dwindled to that of a potent mortal woman with men around the globe in her pocket it was still that she was jealous of the Christian God. The Christian God was her enemy, and in an effort to rebel against this false deity she removed the wings of her daughter and replaced them with metal ones like her own.

The Daughter Ceres became the Mother Ceres’ obsession, an unending and dangerous obsession that put the Daughter at risk. The Mother Ceres, now known as Ceres the Horrible, focused everything on her daughter in an attempt to mold her into perfection. She took her daughter and transformed her into a monstrous entity that could, at times, throw highly destructive tantrums. Her mother made a monster and in her eyes it was perfection.

It took over a decade for the young Ceres the Wise to take up the mantle that her mother had lost making her what she was. It was hard to change who she was, to get over just enough of the bitterness in her life that it didn’t seem to be a disability. Thankfully she was capable of doing so and generated the capacity to function in day-to-day-life through hard work.

It was then that Ceres started a library and society of her own comprised of the top minds of both the human and supernatural world to run a company devoted to a variety of things and a society that acted as its second face. Years passed by and now in the modern day she delved into the world of controlling humans, while setting up various cults across the planet. Oddly none of them were as effective or influential as her company, but they got their job done.

Ceres was drafted by the council for her influence and taken on as an apprentice shortly afterwards due to the fact that she is devoted wholly to those who deserve said devotion and not just herself. Ceres began to plot against her mother at that time, but with her mother being a being of such great power is was unimaginable and with influence as great as hers it was a difficult task. Ceres would have called upon the council, but she believed they expected her to handle this situation herself and so her war had begun.

The first echoes of the war were nothing and continue to be nothing but hushed whispers that Ceres’ mother believes to be false gossip and the mechanical whir of a fighting force being trained under the ground of the cities(a merely figurative saying). The advantage was The Daughter Ceres’ and she was going to take that advantage on as if it was the mantle her mother had abandoned and the mantle she had taken up. A war was going to begin and it was going to tear Ceres’ world apart.

Faction: Angelic Apprentice of The Council
Religion: Angel of Erlang Shen
Prosperity: Ceres is an extremely wealthy being in various ways with bunkers all around the globe filled with knowledge, gold, silver and relics, mystical or not, of the ancient world. Each of these bunkers is taken care of by a small sect of the remainder of her followers from Rome and various other mythologies she has instilled. These bunkers are regularly updated, but unfortunately Ceres has yet to train all her followers in combat due to there being not enough time - this leaves them relatively undefended, but at least their location is hidden. They are also guarded by her children when they are assigned in times of distress or when her “cult” is under attack.
The Children: For over 300 years Ceres has worked on giving birth to a particularly large amount of children that are completely loyal to her and are active all around the globe, working to ensure Ceres The Wise’s success.
Heir: Ceres is actually the daughter of the Ceres that was spoken of in majority in the biography, just for clarification. This Ceres is also heir to everything that her mother build up.
Wingless: The Mother Ceres cut off her full-blooded daughter’s wings to make her like her and in her own image at a young age, and taught her how to use her abilities to use metallic wings, but she does not have the same need for the Millennial Rest as her mother

Exerting a constant magnetic field would not only exhaust any and all reserves of energy kept in store by your character, but it would eventually kill her. Not to mention that Metallurgy is just the control of metal, not the creation of magnetic fields. The ability name may be magnetism, but true magnetism it is not.

As a side note, both Tungsten and Titanium are much heavier than Carbon and Iron, and they are incredibly brittle and amazingly soft respectively. They are good for use as tools, for practical use as a defense against weapons which already have made plate armor obsolete they aren't so good. For the plate to be comparable to ceramic or alloy Ballistic plates which are used to stop bullets it would need to be much thicker than traditional plate armor, and with a 50/50 ratio of Tungsten to Titanium would weigh in somewhere between 150 pounds and 250. The standard, non-ballistic stopping equivalent would be approximately 56 kilograms, or 123.5 pounds.

Perhaps not the most practical of defenses. No one is stopping you from keeping it, but it would be incredibly unwieldy and in all likelihood would get Ceres killed in a combat situation. Trying to maneuver in 90 pounds of equipment is already a hassle, 120+ is dangerous, and 150+ would be suicidal, if you could even move with it on. 4 points in strength is already below average.
