Wow, it's been a while since I did a character profile on here for any of my O.C.s, but I've been working a lot with this particular character, so I thought now would be a good time. Hopefully I get a drawing of him done soon to go with all of this

So to start, Yuki Renaldi is a Nephilim (half angel/half human), and part of the Sapphire clan. To explain, in my world of stories, there are three families of Nephilim that exist and protect against things that come over from the other side of the Veil shielding the mortal world from the spiritual one. They are the Sapphire, Violet, and Emerald clans. Hopefully that gives some insight to some of it. If anyone's interested, I'll explain more about them in another post.

Anyway, Yuki is a male Nephilim and a third generation Nephilim. He's kind of cynical by nature, and has a sister that's a year younger named Hayden (whose much more happy and outgoing). He's a loner by nature too, although a lot of that comes from the fact that Yuki has an immense, dark power within him. This ability is called "Nightmare", and basically, it consists of Yuki being able to bring about an incredible darkness and create monsters from it. He never takes this ability lightly because for a long time he had trouble controlling it, and that actually resulted in it actually killing his mother, which he carries tremendous guilt over. This ability was actually passed to him from his grandmother, who was consumed in life by darkness and corruption after a horrible childhood experience.

Yuki had considered running away when he was living with just his father and sister, but never could completely do it. He'd take off for a few days and come back. He stops doing this after meeting the rest of his family and feeling mostly accepted, although he does end up moving away from them to strike out on his own. Another big distinction that sometimes troubles him is the fact that he also isn't "straight", and though he's never been judged on it by his family, he doesn't speak much about it. However, after meeting Peyton Martell, a Nephilim from the Violet clan (with a lot of issues as well), Yuki opens up more about it and accepts himself for who he is. (For those wondering, I ended up with three of my characters being homosexual because it just fit who they were and I believe in the diversity of the world and acceptance of such things).

For appearance, Yuki looks to be in his late teens to early twenties. He has messy dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. Like the rest of his family, he has a very beautiful appearance too. Like I said before, I'm eventually planning on drawing him once I can really sit down and do it because I like his design that's been in my head. He's definitely one of my favorite characters, both for appearance and back story :)
