Permissions meme and other quirky facts

saviorsoulFirst, I have this oddball summary I created for the first 15 volumes. It covers most major plot points and backstories and serves as my way of keeping track of all of Angel Sanctuary's fun facts since the plot comes at you fast and hard. Yes, this is also my way of avoiding a long-ass character summary. =P Warning, this summary is LONG and chock full of spoilers.
Onto the meme!
Age: 16?
Height: Average
Build: Average but slightly skinny
Hair: Dirty blond with a lot of brown
Eyes: some shade of brown, sometimes reddish (Yuki can't decide so I don't see why I should)
Medical info:
Setsuna's an angel and has technically died once, as well as an out-of-body experience or two. When he is channeling angel-mode, he has two white wings that he can easily withdraw again. When he's channeling Alexiel, usually brought about by EXTREME emotional stress, he reveals three wings. As far as the Alexiel deal goes, her soul is within him. He's borrowed her body before and she's borrowed his, the latter more frequent. In other words, the boy projects angelic power to the umpteenth level to those who are looking.
Misc Description:
He's usually wearing a large red pendant that houses his sword, Nanatsusaya, which deserves its own description but won't be getting that in this post. In canon, the sword goes through several changes but don't expect sword consistency here. ^^;; Setsuna also wears three earrings on his right ear. Originally these earrings harnessed his bloodlust and made him feel faint at the sight of blood, but they don't work so hot anymore and just add to the pretty. The earrings were given to him by his best friend, Sakuya Kira.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him:
Since I am pulling Setsuna from post-Volume 11, don't bring up anything with Lucifer. Setsuna has hints but knows nothing for sure at this point. However, this is not the case with Alexiel just for future reference. I can't think of anything else that's really off limits for now. But he doesn't take kindly to people speaking ill of his love for his sister obviously.
ETA: Set's deal with canon is a bit in flux at the moment. But for now I'd appreciate it if any Lucifer mentionings are limited to canonmates only.
Abilities:
As mentioned earlier, Setsuna is stock-piled with angelic power and it takes a LOT to counter. Alexiel was the result of experimentation with the powers of an even greater angelic entity, Adam Kamon, so the power she and Setsuna share is very different from your typical angel. Setsuna's getting better at controlling this power during his emotional meltdowns. He can take a lot of damage before staying down for the count, but this doesn't mean he's always a fast healer. And he's quite good at the soul-healing thing for those who may be overwhelmed by their own darkness. He's also got the Nanatsusaya, which is mostly ass-kicking ability in of itself.
Notes for the Psychics:
He once was pretty torn up about his incestuous feelings for his sister, but he's mostly come to term with those now. Setsuna obsesses over his sister so she's usually in his thoughts.
If you want to also pick up from Alexiel, there's a lot of self-doubt and guilt for the lives she's sacrificed in attempts to break free from her fate under God, worry over Setsuna, turmoil over her twin brother Rosiel and how she didn't kill him like he asked her before he went insane and probably stuff in there about her feelings for Lucifer and Nanatsusaya (the sword's human form, which is also linked with Lucifer). Obviously, I wouldn't suggest pinging from Alexiel unless you know canon.
Although Setsuna and Alexiel share the same soul, he doesn't know that much about her life so if you sense anything from her, Setsuna will likely have no clue what you are talking about.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?:
Bodyswapping's iffy because of Alexiel's presence and requires much discussion on how to resolve it. Usually when Setsuna's not-really-there, Alexiel is in control. So unless you have a super plan of awesomeness, I don't recommend it. Of course, Katou canonically assumes Setsuna's form, without any possession effects, so shapeshifting is not a big deal as long as there's some sort of notice.
Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact:
As far as the physical fun goes, Setsuna is naturally big on contact so he's not going to pitch a fit if people get touchie-feelie, but he will probably look at you funny if he doesn't know you that well. Anything more intimate...um, just realize you're going to have to contend with his feelings for Sara and it could be a hard fight.
Maim/Murder/Death:
If you abuse Setsuna, he will attempt to kick your ass. He's a violent little mofo. There are exceptions if he can sense reason behind said violence. In such cases, he'll mostly go for subduing measures rather than outright beat-downs. With any of the more serious attacks, please run it by me first. I like to keep my boy in one piece. Murder/death, like bodyswapping, will be very tricky since it would also bring Alexiel into play. If you kill Setsuna, you release Alexiel's soul back to her original body. So yeah there's going to have to be some extreme plotting involved.
