Providence Infirmary Team:
Ezequias "Zeke" Rosario
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 1 - Ailment
Race: Human (Columbian)
Age: 17
Abilities: Black and White Magic. 10th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Vesklepios” that allows him to channel black magic to summon a nearly infinite amount of blood vessels of whichever length or size needed. The veins have many applications depending on one’s creativity.
Summary: A gifted teen who wants to be a world-renowned doctor. But is kept from achieving his full potential due to 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.
Connections: Ugo Morata (Step-brother), Viola Balles (It’s Complicated)
Affliations: Providence Infirmary, 14th Tainted Generation of Healers, Nananiel’s Spies
Ugo Morata
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 3 - Compications
Race: Human (Spaniard)
Age: 17
Abilties: 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.
Summary: Lazy and unapologetic about his lecherous behavior. Born with a photographic memory 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.

Affliations: Providence Infirmary, 14th Tainted Generation of Healers, Nananiel’s Spies
Avery “AJ” Dotson
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 1 - Ailment
Race: Human (American)
Age: 17
Abilties: Great understanding of nutrition and dietary topics. Possibly can apply this knowledge to the supernatural world. Acrobatic skills and commendable physical strength for a girl her age (though she hates it).
Summary: Self-conscious about her height and lack of “feminity”. 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. Is in overall a sweet, nice person but gets antagonistic whenever the topic of religion is brought up. With facing “unfair” outcomes when it came to her body and the observing the other graver injustices of the world she came to despise the idea of God, low key hoping that everything about Heaven is a lie and then one day an angel falls out of the sky.
Affliations: Providence Infirmary
Naomi
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 4 - Tainted
Race:
Angel/Demon Hybrid
Age: Approximately 300-years-old
Abilties:
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.
Summary:
Advertisement
Somehow created near the tail end of the 13th Tainted Generation’s war on Heaven with the union of legendary seraphim known as “Cathetel” and the just as legendary demon “Terthran” which resulted in both of their eradications. Naomi was kept locked in a cage at the highest layer of Heaven, Primum Paraiso, on the mountain top 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 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.
Connections:
Cathetel (Mother), Terthran (Father), Nananiel (Fatherly-Figure), Irin (Angelic Equivalent of Aunt)
Affliations: Providence Infirmary
Angels (Second Sphere):
Nananiel
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 1 - Ailment
Race: Angel (Dominion)
Now demoted to angel (First Sphere).
Age: Approximately 550-years-old
Abilties: White Magic. Swordsmanship Mastery (Can summon Holy Weapon which is a white long sword: "Hundred Blessings"). Angelic Snow Magic.
Summary: All Nananiel wants to do is help out humans and maybe try out some of the things they are privileged to 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. Misfortune seems to love Nananiel as a universal threat arises just as he is getting used to his new job. With the Tainted Geration now at large and his fellow Power Chief constantly chastising him and waiting for him to make a mistake big enough to have his title taken away, Nananiel needs to take on a more stern demeanor and possibly make some difficult choices that concern harming the humans he so dearly admires.
Connections:
Naomi (Daughter-Figure)
Affliations: Second Sphere of the Order of Angels, Nananiel’s Spies, Secret Angelic Informant
Irin
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 4 - Tainted
Race: Angel (Power)
Now promoted to Dominion Chief but kept her position as Power Chief.
Age: Approximately 900-years-old
Abilties: White Magic. Expert swordswoman, and in martial arts. Skiled in a variety of weaponry. Master tactician and strategist in warfare. Holy Vulcanic Magic.
Summary: Her ruthless and brutality has made her one of the most well respected angels of all time in the angelic community and feared by almost every other being in the universe. Everywhere Irin goes, blood and flames are left behind. Irin has seen many iterations of the Tainted Generation and thanks to her angelkind has survived through them all. The Power Chief almost lost her life in a battle against the 13th Damned: Alexander Skaggsy. Imagine her rage when she awoke after being knocked out to discover that the Healer was defeated by no one other than Nananiel, who then got the job she wanted for centuries.
Irin likes doing her job and likes doing it right. She hates when people don’t do their jobs and hates it even more when they don’t do their jobs well. Is always switching Container due to having trouble finding one to contain her explosive angelic soul.
Connections:
Cathetel (Angelic Equivalent of Twin Sister), Naomi (Angelic Equivalent of Niece)
Affliations: Second Sphere of the Order of Angels, First Sphere Secret Project
14th Tainted Generation of Healers:
Isaac Noble
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 2: Maleficent Dominion, Chapter 14 - Hypertension
Race: Human (American)
Age: 17
Abilties: Extraordinary White Magic Mastery (has the best healing abilities amongst the Healers), comparable to an angel's (Soul’s purity is so high it can be mistaken for an angel’s). Can use Black Magic but prefers not to. 1st born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Vistrea”. Can easily perform highly dangerous techniques such as “Soul Touching” and his own version of Holy Fire that can harm angelic beings.

Summary:
Isaac is part of a family of passionate devotees, from the moment he was born he had no place to trod other than the religious road his father paved for him. From a young age, Isaac preached on the road with his father and discovered his affinity with magic on his own, but kept it a secret.
One day, an altercation with his drunk Pastor Father resulted in Isaac having his laryn scarred (by getting punched in the throat), damaging his voice permanently. His Father repented and never drank again since that day, changing entirely. This inadvertently fed Isaac’s Savior Complex; thus, he perceived this as whenever he gets hurt, it leads to salvaging someone.
Isaac emanates an amiable aura, always smiling and speaking softly in his horribly hoarse voice (which he can heal with magic, but chooses not to, so he won’t forget). He is constantly hurting himself or putting himself in danger to “save” people.
His goal is to get Zeke to open a door for him in a Heavenly Sub-Realm that’ll allow him to substitute the angels with the other gifted individuals of his generation and create a new Heaven with a new system designed by him personally.

Viola “Violet” Balles
First Appearance: Book 1: Providence, Volume 1: Saving Grace, Chapter 12 - Conception
Race: Human (Argentinian)
Age: 17
Abilties: Black and White Magic. 2nd born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Neurpatia” giving her mastery of powerful mind spells. Expert Markswoman, excellent combatant, mastery of various Netherworld weaponry (most of which she thinkered and modded herself).
Summary: The first thing that people notice when seeing her for the first time are her petrifying dark cobalt blue eyes--at times they seem violet, hence why she was given the nickname. There is also an unmistakable hostile aminus around Violet that people pick up on quickly when near her except for Zeke who is hopelessly infatuated with her, and she seems to feel the same but is frustrated he won’t aid in her quest.
Violet moonlights as the infamous “Angel-Killer”. It is a mystery what Violet had been doing since she was sent to Catholic School in Argentina and her Mana Pores opened, but somewhere in the timeline she grew a strong contempt towards the angels and is hellbent on killing them all.

Gilliam “Gill” Destrian
First Appearance: Book 2: Pestilence, Volume 1: Eleven Tainted, Chapter 5 - Convention

Abilties: Black Magic Mastery (Can’t use White Magic well). Expert at Netherbeast taming and Summoning. 3rd born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Torzelas”. Uses a strange gluttinous magic that has yet to be classified.
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 and claims he doesn’t mistreat any of them. Runs a hospital in the Netherworld where he treats demons.
Affliations: 14th Tainted Generation of Healers.
Akachi Adeyemi

According to Akachi) Outstanding knowledge on many deities across the realms. 4th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Hippocratas” allowing him to mimic the powers of various deities.
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 (to make up feeling like a loser for most of his life). 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.
Connections: Aida Koshiko (Close Friend), Wade Rupp (Close Friend)
Affliations: 14th Tainted Generation of Healers, Mount Olympus, Asgard, Orisha, Kami, and other groups of deities.
Ashlin Kristov
First Appearance: Book 2: Pestilence, Volume 1: Eleven Tainted, Chapter 5 - Convention
Race: Human (Russian)
Age: 17
Abilties: Black and White Magic. Specializes in Sealing Magic. 5th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Albutius” giving her unrivaled skill in building Containers capable of containing all kinds of souls, weaponizing Containers, cosmetic spells, and resurrection (Zombies with no souls).
Summary: Ashlin had a difficult childhood growing up in extreme poverty watching her parents die of illness the only person Ashlin had was her sister as they were subjected to harsh physical abuse in an orphanage.
Now, 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.
Connections: Ally Kristov (Sister), Zvesda (Cat)
Gilliam Destrian (Hopeless in love with him).
Affliations: She is affiliated with anybody who is a customer to her, everybody else can go f*ck themselves.
Wade Rupp
First Appearance: Book 2: Pestilence, Volume 1: Eleven Tainted, Chapter 5 - Convention
Race: Human (Australian)
Age: 17
Abilties: Black and White Magic. 7th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Beiweivi” giving him access to strong sleep magic and control of dreams. Master Supernatural Biochemist. Knowledgeable in magic potions and supplements.
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 to go for him (Even if it may not be a real long-term solution). He inherited a degenerative brain disorder from his mother: Fatal familiar insomnia, a disease characterized by the inability to sleep (which runs in his family’s genes). With his magic supplements he was able to cure his mother and other members of his family but the medicine didn’t work when he used it on himself.
Even through much experimentation and help from other Healers, his quality of sleep only diminished. He is unable to reach a deep sleep. His only solace to get through the day is by resorting to pain-relievers and hallucinogens.

Kian Elbertsson
(A rare photo of Kian before he went completely emo!)

Human (Icelandic)/Sun Elf Hybrid
Age: 17
Abilties: Black and White Magic. 8th born of the Tainted Generation. Has strong affinity to magic and access to the Healer’s Garb known as “Plaga” giving him expertise on all infectious supernatural microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites). Has problematic plague-related spells such as: Rat swarm, Mumps infection, infection blast (an acidic, purple liquid beam composed of a cluster of flesh-eating bacteria), rashes inducement, paralyzes (for a couple seconds), muscle cramps, vomiting, etc.
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.
Kian wants revenge against his elf family and the entirety of the Sun Elf Tribe by turning them into the thing they hate most by force with an infectious agent so powerful that even their children will become more horrific mutations and so on. But he wants the virus to be pure perfection.
Humans and elves have strikingly similar biology. They would work as test subjects.
Throughout his scheming, his plan began to contort and it now became a crusade to end racism amongst humans as well. He believes that if everybody just looked the same. Every face is a horrifying visage, then there would be no need for comparison, and everybody would learn what to truly value about a person, and what’s important.
His twisted ideals is what leads the events of “Pestilence”

MERTICORE
Meet Ian. Ian is an IT consultant who accepted a supposedly impossible job for an incredible amount of money. However, he quickly learns why his colleagues avoided that gig like the plague. Ian now hates his job, and wants to be fired to get severance pay. However, things don’t go as planned when he downloads MERTICORE, a mysterious program that popped out of nowhere. After that, the life of Ian has changed drastically. Gone are the days of drinking bad coffee while staring at a screen. His days are now filled with magic, fighting weird creatures and even weirder people. Let’s not even mention the comrades he collects along the way, which are more often than not worse than the (numerous) enemies he makes as he bumbles through alternate dimensions.

8 143Silver, Sand, and Silken Wings
In the opinion of the common storyteller, Sylph did not exist. Frustrated and deceived by her mothers hiding the truth of her parentage, young dragoness Sylph heads out looking for answers along with a childhood friend, a young human alchemist. From the sky high walls of Carthia, through the winding, lively streets of Halfhill, her journey leads her all the way up north to the picturesque nightmare of snow where she hatched. And yet, the answers lie buried in the desert sand on the other side of the continent. In a world of cruel slave traders and a ruthless, self-proclaimed queen, Sylph uncovers the answers she seeks and realizes her grave mistake of ever leaving home. A singular misstep in the hostile city means death, or worse, and the guards are hot on her haunches after blundering her way through the gates. The draft for this work is finished. I am editing the chapters and putting them up. Updates every 14 days because I am tangled up in work.

During the final rewrite, the plot changed so much that it was nothing like this one. So I posted it as a new story instead. Please go read that instead.
