:: The Missing Blade ::

[jack]

Jack was attacked by the Archangel Gabriel a very long time ago. He was formerly known as Loki, but Gabriel locked him away in another dimension, using angelic magic to take Loki's powers and a physical form. This was how his 'witness protection program' worked. Gabriel then went on to take Loki's name and kill off the rest of the Tricksters (presumably to make sure no one would be able to figure out who he really was).

After Gabriel was killed by Lucifer, his magic that kept Loki in another dimension was released, and he was set free. With everything he had stolen and destroyed, Loki renamed himself Jack. Angry, not knowing who to look to for revenge, Jack hasn't really been doing much. Killing angels for no reason other than what Gabriel had done seemed wrong to Jack.

A good goal that spurred into his mind was to try and stop Castiel. Word got around to Jack that he's the new God in town, an angel given crazy amounts of power didn't seem like a very positive thing. Parts of Gabriel had bled into Jack as a side effect of the 'witness protection program', giving Jack random memories that aren't quite his own. (This is also a small plot I plan on expanding on. Perhaps during this one. I have some neat ideas for this.)

Anyways, one of these memories is of the Archangel blade. Jack assumes that Lucifer took Gabriel's blade, but he finds it unlikely that he would carry around two at the same time. Chances are, he hid Gabriel's blade somewhere. As for how Jack plans on finding it, he might be open to some help. Whether it be other angels, humans, or maybe even demons. He doesn't want to, but he might not have any other choice. He's sort of hoping that he'll be able to somewhat sense where Gabriel's blade is. As the Archangel and his blade have a connection of sorts. And, after all, there is some part of Gabriel in Jack.

To answer the obvious question now of "well, Oddric, I don't think an Archangel blade would actually stop Castiel!" I realize that. And I doubt it too. But it seems to be like the best chance at stopping him. A regular Angel blade didn't work, so maybe making it a bit stronger would do something.

I'm sort of picturing it as the Season 5 mid-finale, where they put a bullet to Lucifer's head, but the Colt seemed pretty much useless. It just stunned him a bit. The same thing would most likely happen with Cas. Nonetheless, it'll be interesting and fun.

Gabriel is now back on the forums. However, that doesn't change much in terms of the blade. There is still a missing Archangel Blade out there (Gabriel was reborn with a new one), and the more weapons the "good guys" have, the better.

Now, I want to know if there's anyone who would be willing to participate? I think there would be a good few threads before actually locating the Archangel blade, so it won't be so simple. (Where's the enjoyment in that?)

Just give me the name of your character, species, (or just give a link to their file!) and what your character might be able to do to help out Jack. Don't worry if you can't think of anything, I'm not too concerned with that.

I'll probably want to talk it out for a bit before starting anything.

Thanks, guys! Sorry if that was a bit long. Go ahead and ask questions if you need to. xD

Shorter Summary!:

Jack is looking for a way to stop Castiel. So he's trying to find Gabriel's old Archangel blade. He knows it might be hopeless, but if there's a snowball's chance in hell, he's gonna take it.

Though, I recommend reading the whole thing. But, there you go. xD

Name: Hadriel
Species Angel
Bio: Right Hurr

So, I think that Hadriel might be interested in helping out with this bit right here. After all, he on Team "CAS, WHAT THE HELL?" at the moment. He's loyal to God the Father and, even though he loves his brother, he sees him becoming a False God. Of course, this is straight-up blasphemy and he's still waiting for their Father to come back from wherever he is. So, if this Trickster wanted to meet up to discuss things, then he might find a listening ear in Hadriel here. That, and it also might drive Hadriel to try to convince Gabriel to use his new sword as well. So, yeah. Let's do this!

[jack]

I can definitely see Jack and Hadriel working together to find the blade.

Jack will probably go to Gabriel on his own time. It might not take the Archangel much convincing, considering that he is totally against Castiel. I want more of a focus on the missing Archangel Blade rather than on Gabriel's.

[raziel]

This could also lead to fun, angel moral dilemmas. Of course, such a weapon would make the bearer pretty darn powerful. It could end up with another slippery slope, since Had only wants Castiel to step down and remember that it is their Father's throne. He'd prefer not to lead a coup or anything, but if he had such a weapon, he might be a bit more tempted...especially if he can get help from Jack and maybe some other angels. But, yeah, finding the sword will definitely be a priority of his.

[jack]

Right, right. The end result of this plot is to hunt down Castiel. Ulimately, I would create another sub plot that branches from this one, to gather a small team to locate and kill Cas. That's a subject for another time, though.

Finding the Archangel Blade won't take one or two threads for Jack. He needs to talk to people, gather a few allies, and then try his hand at using some mojo to pinpoint its location. After all, Lucifer hid the blade. So wherever it is, it's not going to be an easy find. Especially if he left it with someone (a rogue angel or powerful demon, perhaps). Another part of finding the blade is to get Jack to use the small part of Gabriel that lives in his being to accomplish his goal. Using that part of him as a way to connect to the Archangel Blade.

Just sort of rambling on about my ideas.

But anyways, Hardiel being a bit cautious about who gets to wield the blade as well as actually killing Castiel is reasonable. And, like always, a bit of conflict makes for interesting stories and unexpected consequences!

[raziel]

I can see Hadriel being a reluctant accomplice with Jack, mostly because he definitely doesn't want Jack to be the one to wield the sword if they find it. However, he knows he'll need Jack to actually find it. And yeah, if they come across someone who bears the sword ( an NPC of sorts or something ) that could be super fun.

So yeah, let's do this. Perhaps Jack could summon Hadriel? Or some sort of arrangement to meet somewhere? Up to ya.

[jack]

I like the NPC idea. I'll probably utilize that.

Jack doesn't trust angels at all. Especially after what Gabriel did to him. Plus, Jack has no idea who Hadriel is, he's not going to summon a random angel. For all he knows, they could be with Castiel. So a spontaneous encounter is the best option.

Oh, and for anyone else reading this, I'm going to need more than just one person for this sub plot. So, don't be shy. xD

[jack]

Just a bump. Still interested in doing this!

[brooke]

Sooooooo... Brooklyn would wanna help in this if there's a chance at killing Castiel.. She wants revenge on him and Cowley for killing her mother. She doesn't really have a plan on how to find or kill either but this sounds like a good idea to try and take Castiel out.
Also she has a couple of powers that are known to her and a couple she doesn't know of. She doesn't have utter control of them though ((not sure if her powers could be of any help, actually)) but she's willing to do whatever it takes.
So, anyways.. She hates all angels cause of what Castiel did and especially Castiel himself. ;D

Name: Brooklyn
Species: Monster/Human hybrid
Profile: Clickey!

[jack]

Oh, that's right, Doctor Visyak!

Jack and Brook are already in a thread together, so we can see where it goes from there!

Brook must have access to Doctor Visyak's large home and library, right? There's probably plenty of stuff there that Jack and Brook could go through for valuable information.

Also, Brook has a little Purgatory in her, right? Doctor Visyak was a dead monster from Purgatory, so Brook has some connection to the place. Just a thought. Lol.

[brooke]

Mwahaha! My thoughts exactly (:

Yes, of course she does. Since she came back she's living in her mother's house and I am sure she has lots of info they could use. I mean, her mother practically lived through all history so maybe she could also have a journal or something!

Yesh, she does have that too She must have but I don't think she knows it yet but there must be a way to find out if she can communicate with the other side

[jack]

Or maybe there's a way she can communicate with all the souls that Castiel has taken! That would be interesting.

I'm sure Purgatory is pretty empty now. Probably only a hundred souls from what the hunters have been killing since Castiel opened it.

[brooke]

Oh, right ;D I didn't think about that

Yeh, that sure would be interesting.. I am not sure how could she communicate with those souls though.... Hmmm...

[jack]

That can be fleshed out a bit as your character develops. I was just throwing future plot ideas out at you. Lol.

[brooke]

Right right.. lol! I guess I 'll figure that out when the time comes
