hawke + anders (+ castiel)
His name is Castiel, and he's... somewhat of an abomination. Where he comes from, angels and spirits work much the same way, but there's no original human living in his brain anymore. (He didn't kill him, since I know you'll ask.) His grace -- like a soul -- doesn't quite fit him, and it's burning him out from the inside.
I've tried to feed magic into his grace to strengthen it, but all that seems to do is make a bit of a boom, so at this point I'm just trying to heal his internal injuries faster than they're being caused. It's not really a long-term solution, however. The hope is that he'll survive his grace burning out when that inevitably happens. He's been without it before and it's made him human, but he was never graceless with so much damage. It's hurting him, but it's keeping him alive now; grace will run a body no matter how injured it is, until it runs out of energy on its own.
He's a good sort of person. Checkered past, as you do, works with the homeless, helps where he can. He has family here. I can't say I'm not fond of him. I worry my healing is more of a bandage than a solution.
