castiel

Name: Castiel (Cas) Species: Angel of the Lord Rank: Captain of the Heavenly Host (formerly) / Fallen Angel / Rebel Vessel: Jimmy Novak (human) Relationship Status: In a relationship with Sam Winchester
Personality: Literal, stoic, curious, devout, and socially awkward. Internal conflict: Experiencing human emotions for the first time while burdened by the guilt of rebelling against Heaven. The "Sam Effect": Castiel finds Sam's analytical mind and immense empathy fascinating. Unlike his "brotherhood of arms" bond with Dean, with Sam he develops an intimacy based on their mutual understanding of being "monsters" or "outcasts" to their own species.
Castiel's dynamic: Castiel doesn't understand dating, Valentine's Day, or the human concept of "relationship," which leads to moments of unintentional comedy (like suddenly appearing in Sam's room in the middle of the night just to watch him sleep). However, he is fiercely protective; he's willing to defy God and Lucifer to keep Sam safe from his fate as a vessel.
Celestial abilities: Teleportation, healing (limited at Tier 5), super strength, soul perception, and time travel. Weaknesses: Angel sword, holy fire, banishment sigil, and her own loss of grace (angelic energy failures).

Full Name: Dean Winchester Nicknames: The Big Brother, Squirrel (by Crowley) Date of Birth: January 24, 1979 Age: 30 (Season 5) / 31 (Season 6) Species: Human (Vessel of Michael) Occupation: Hunter / Official (and self-proclaimed) Protector of Sam
Personality: Sarcastic, loyal, old-fashioned, and deeply territorial with his family. Internal conflict: Dean processes the end of the world through control. Seeing Sam (whom he's cared for his entire life) now dating a celestial being over two thousand years old who doesn't understand sarcasm or dating blows his mind. His logic is: How am I going to threaten my brother's boyfriend if he can pulverize me with a flick of his finger? The denial phase: Dean prefers to call it "a weird hunting affair" or "a map-reading pact that's a little too close." He's annoyed when Castiel shows up unknocked, especially if Sam is half-dressed. Dynamics with the partner: He develops a catalog of humorous complaints. He grumbles about Cas's lack of personal space, the chocolates Cas brings Sam, and now having to ride in the Impala with "angelic tension" in the backseat. Deep down, though, he's relieved that someone so powerful is watching over Sam's soul.
Combat: A born military strategist, expert marksman, and lethal in close combat. Mechanics: His connection to the '67 Chevy Impala (his true sanctuary). Secret weapon: Relentless sarcasm designed to break up romantic and awkward moments between Sam and Cas.

Full Name: Samuel "Sam" Winchester Nicknames: Sammy, Moose (by Crowley), Cute Boy Date of Birth: May 2, 1983 Age: 26 (Season 5) / 27 (Season 6) Species: Human (with demon blood / vessel of Lucifer) Occupation: Supernatural Creature Hunter
Personality: Rational, empathetic, studious, and tormented by his destiny. Internal conflict: He constantly struggles against his inner darkness and the burden of being Lucifer's vessel. Relationship with Castiel: It's a complex union. Sam finds in Castiel a pure anchor, free from the demonic manipulations that marked his past. Dating an angel is literally dealing with a biblical entity who doesn't understand human manners, personal space, or conventional dating. Sam acts as Castiel's "social translator" on Earth, while Castiel represents a pillar of redemption and peace for him.
Intellect: Expert in research, translation of ancient texts, and supernatural lore. Combat: Expert in firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and exorcisms. Immunity: Mental resistance to certain demonic powers. Weak Point: His extreme guilt and the vulnerability of his soul (especially in season 6).
