I will attempt this; it may prove to be good writing practise.

Username: Helios
Name: Arcterael, Archangel of Hope
Gender: Male
Race: Angel
Colour: White
Weapons:
Dawnbringer, the Sword of Hope. Perhaps one of the most famous blades of Heaven ever forged, its very name inspires hope and kindles hearts of good, but terrorises the evil and the unholy whom cannot abide it. Under normal circumstances, it shines with the brilliant aura of a pure blue Light of Heaven, but its physical form may change should the wielder find himself in an exceptional time of desperation (refer to Special Abilities section). It is essentially a physical representation and manifestation of Hope itself and of the glorious, holy wrath of Heaven.
Lightbearer, the Shield of Hope. The second primary component of the Archangel's set of weaponry, the shield is wrought of a material known only to the greatest forgers of Heaven; in appearance, radiating its own blue Light, it is as beautiful as crystal, but in combat, it is more durable than the toughest of metals. Suffice it to say, it has guarded Arcterael well through millennia of fighting experiences.
The rest of the Armour Set of Hope donned by Arcterael include the Helmet, Breastplate and the Arm and Leg Guards, all composed of the same material as the Shield.
Abilities (ranked in reverse order of power):
Natural Affiliation with Light: Being a Light creature, Arcterael is naturally able to manipulate that element. Being one of the greatest Archangels in Heaven, he possesses a formidable amount of control, and may use it offensively (damaging, blinding enemies) and defensively (shielding, healing), etc.
Holy Light: The touch of an Archangel usually suffices to heal any wound; Arcterael can summon forth his inner Light of Heaven to perform this task upon himself or wounded allies.
Elbereth: Using the powerful Light within, Arcterael provides Dawnbringer, Lightbearer and his entire Armour Set with even greater power. In this state, they become significantly more powerful, shining even brighter with the concentrated essence of the Light of Heaven in its purest form: white.
Divine Intervention: Arcterael may call upon the aid of the heavens in urgent times of need; hearing the plea of the Archangel, Heaven shall respond by illuminating a large portion of the field with Light, while providing succour in terms of protection and healing to himself and allies and blinding and damaging enemies, with an especial effect against the unholy. This skill may be used for a limited amount of time, lest it drain too much energy.
True Form of the Archangel: All Angels are very well aware of the power limitation barrier which exists at the boundary between Earth and Heaven. Those of the Higher Realm whom choose to enter the mortal plane must suffer a substantial decrease of their actual power while they linger there. However, as a final ability, Arcterael may restore himself to his True Form. Though he can actually never completely be the equal of himself in the Upper Realm, in his True Form, he approaches and almost attains that point, being as close as he will ever be to a true Archangel of Heaven while on Earth. In his True Form, Arcterael, though already substantial in terms of height, will grow even taller while his inner Light will shine at its brightest, providing very large enhancement and improvement to every aspect of his being (damage, protection, efficiency of skills, etc.) Unfortunately, Arcterael may only maintain his True Form for a limited amount of time.
Description:
In his normal form, Arcterael almost attains 190 cm in height; intermittently glowing smooth white-silver hair, compassionate blue eyes that may turn piercingly fierce in his wrath against any enemies who dare defy Heaven's Light. Two white wings spread magnificently behind him while his Armour Set completes his impressive physical appearance.
Arcterael is an unwavering champion of the Light, but especially of its aspects regarding Justice and Hope, dealing the former to unholy enemies while inspiring the latter in the good and the innocent by his very presence. He is sometimes known as an idealistic dreamer, which has proven to be an unfortunate attitude to hold when it brings him disappointments. However, his faith has always been as constant and eternal as the Light.
Biography: Birthed in Heaven many thousands of years and several Ages ago as son of the incumbent Archangel of Justice, Arcterael's ideals were established and cemented from a very early time.
He was an active participant and combatant in Heaven's interventions upon the mortal plane during a Golden Age when, at the height of its power, the Upper Realm regulated conflicts on Earth and preserved peace. When he was eventually promoted to Archangel of Hope, Arcterael began to lead some of these interventions, though his were often of a different nature from the majority. While his close friend, the Archangel of Justice led interventions to impose Heaven's Law and Will upon the mortal plane when its inhabitants transgressed, and the Archangel of War commanded Heaven's hosts, his own travels consisted more often of providing Hope and blessings and such assistance to the good people of the mortal plane when they were in need, as opposed to punishing the wicked.
He was wandering the mortal plane on another mission of Heaven when he was taken by the Grandmaster.
