Filforth

[Character name] is...[description here].

Powers
It's difficult to assess the full range of Filforth's total abilities. The following are just some of his more known expressions of power:


 * Enhanced intellect:


 * Tetradimensional existence:


 * Tessenation:


 * Invisibility:


 * Nigh-invulnerability:


 * Plant manipulation:


 * Astherding: Also known as "asteroid shepherding," or "meteor summoning."


 * Matter phasing: Due to tessenation, as well as the spirit self of Filforth as an Apthalan being able to operate even without his Humanoid Manifest Construct physical form, tasks like walking through walls are effortless for him - even without utilization of the Marlquaan. This gives him the ability to exploit relative tangentialness with far less trouble than even the Gray Champion or Sarah Ruben, and without a need to rely on the Marlquaan.


 * Humanoid Manifest Construction: Similarly to Cherinob, Filforth may, God willing, assemble a massive mud ball. He may then shape it to create a golem avatar for his spirit self to occupy, chemically altering it until he becomes a sort of physical alien being - one capable of mimicking human physiology and appearance to a limited degree.
 * Also like with Cherinob, assuming a physical form comes at the expense that these physical constructs are capable of being destroyed, if they take enough of the right kinds of punishment.
 * While this does little to damage Filforth as a spiritual being, destroying his HMC slows him down slightly, as any task requiring him to construct a new body for himself in order to perform it will delay him.
 * Filforth's constructs are similar to Cherinob's, in that they make exceptions to their human mimicry insofar as to minimize the perversion potential of any human captors who might somehow successfully capture them.
 * However, his constructs are not entirely immune to physical damage, and can therefore be "killed."
 * Humanoid Manifest Constructs are only as strong as the angelic spirit (or God) allow them to be, circumstantially. As such, the endurance of Filforth's constructs may vary widely, with no way to scientifically measure their integrity with any consistency.  Some may survive an impact with a tungsten rod from space, while others may be easily decapitated by ordinary human weapons.


 * Shapeshifting: The truest "true" form of Filforth is hard to grasp or know. But in ethereal form, he can twist spatial reality around him to assume any of a number of different appearances, any given one of them barely comprehensible to any human brain unable to think in enough spatial dimensions to grasp what is truly happening.  He is not limited to just his Starfish Island and Humanoid forms.


 * Desire clarity insight induction: Filforth, via instruction from the Holy Spirit, can sway human subjects in a direction of questioning their own desires, and can create a conscience effect as a deterrent to the pursuit of corrupt desires. He especially utilizes this to dampen homosexual desires.  However, his ability to erase such desires in fallen mankind are not absolute, due to the Volition Dilemma Paradox (see below.)


 * Healing touch: In addition to destructive power, Filforth can also use his God-granted circumstantial command over nature to heal the sick and injured rapidly.


 * Pride punishment via reality warping: While not as talented at this as Ferrymen like Maurice, Filforth has been demonstrated as capable of imbuing punishments on targets equal to the greatness of the sin in their hearts. His methodology is not too different from that of Arbustombre or Extirpon.  However, he is able to do what he does more efficiently, since he doesn't need to draw from the Marlquaan.


 * Armor generation: Filforth is able to summon his suit of armor at will, often manipulation atoms of air around him to manifest physical constructs of his armor. He utilizes the 4th dimension as a vent, to minimize the explosive nature of the nuclear and chemical effects that might otherwise ensue from how he forces such armor into physical existence.

Weaknesses
As a member of the Angelic Army, Filforth has very few known weaknesses. Most of his weaknesses are those common to every Apthalan.


 * Demonic energy blasts: Corrupters of the Natural Order will actively seek to undermine his influence, and can damage him in direct battle. This usually only slows him down; but he can still feel spiritual pain.


 * Volition Dilemma Paradox: If the hubris of a human subject is great enough, they can overcome or defy his sway, succumbing to corruptions of imagination and sexual desire, and remaining in perversions. As such, his sway is not always enough by itself to completely remove homosexual tendencies.  He can influence someone to dampen sodomite desire or tendencies; but he cannot erase free will enough to eradicate such desire by way of pure force.


 * Penditula: If Filforth isn't careful, a sufficiently-powered Penditulum can imprison him inside its internal 4D prison walls. Conversely, he may trick whoever is wielding a Penditulum into capturing a demonic adversary inside instead.  If trapped inside, only a reopening of the Penditulum from outside (or an infiltration by God) may free him from it.


 * Sigil detectors: Filforth can never disguise himself completely to look 100% human, as that would involve deception. However, his partial disguise may be enough to fool some.  That, or his alliance with God may still be questioned.  These weapons can force him to project a sigil onto the nearest wall, or onto the space immediately above him.  Anyone who doubts that he is Filforth, Defender of the Natural Order, may know for certain that he is.  However, he rarely gets close enough to anyone with such weaponry to become a target.  He also has a tendency to identify himself to whomever need be concerned, minimizing the need for anyone to use such a device on him.

Equipment

 * Suit of armor: Filforth is able to summon his armor at will, flawlessly. This makes him more resistant to attacks from Biroot adversaries, and also makes him look slightly less human.  He is most often depicted with his armor on, as he has less need to blend in with humanity than some other angels, such as Cherinob.

Character bio
It's difficult, given his multiversal relevance, to pinpoint Filforth to a singular continuity nor a singular biography. That being said, Filforth is able to be defined by his most prominent appearances in the following media:

In Stationery Voyagers
Some early Stationery Voyagers artwork depicted him as having been present for the Annunciation of Gabriel to Mary about the Coming of Christ, mentioned in the Book of Luke - even though Luke's first two chapters never once specify Gabriel having any angel assistants with him when addressing Mary. An episode titled "Essentials of Nativity" would have shown both the Angelic Army and an ancestor of Liquidon Ethereteel battling the Mantithian political, Drismabonian, and supernatural adversaries that were all obsessed with assassinating Mary to prevent the birth of Christ.

Filforth was later to appear in an episode of the third season of Stationery Voyagers, a season titled Surfaces and an episode titled "Choice After All," in which Filforth rescued the Bindaf 3000 envoy Oceanoe Hendlebin from a mob of...

Development
Filforth was originally developed alongside Levío the Nullifier, to be one of the angels that was secretly guarding over the Bindaf 3000 crew and its mission in Stationery Voyagers. He was later repurposed to be a multiversal singularity in the Abrujanian Continuity Family of Timelines, also known as the Dozerfleet Megaverse. As such, he is the same entity in every rift of the Divergency, be it the original Anna Ford's pocket dimension, be it Cataclysmic Gerosha, the Eccentriaverse, the Dromedeverse, or any other timeline to which he needs to be relevant.

Little was known about his appearance at first, except that his power was nature-themed, and gave his armor green lights and trims instead of the golden yellow ones that Levío had. It was only once he started being included for Cherinob media that he was given more defining traits; such as his Eldritch form of being a giant island starfish monster with multiple eyes; or his non-armored humanoid manifest construct form, where he resembles a bearded "hippie" garbage truck driver.

Trivia

 * Filforth derives his name from a time when the Dozerfleet founder, very sleepy while the family was headed north to Michigan along I-75, misread a sign as "Filforth." It is possible the sign was actually for Florence, Fort Wright, or Fort Mitchell.
 * Filforth is stated repeatedly in Dozerfleet lore to be one of the angels involved in the destruction of Sodom. Therefore, he is possibly intended to be the Archangel Raphael.
 * Since the Bible itself never specifies Raphael, it's speculative if Filforth and Raphael are truly the same.
