背景特征（Backgrounds）（3p）：
盟友 7+1（1p） 以西结/伊泽凯尔，与约翰共享化身，寄宿于和约翰面貌相同的濒死者躯体中的古老恶魔
化身 0+1（1p）或许是由于同时与两个存在相互联结而分散了力量的缘故，约翰和以西结的化身力量非常微弱，存在感也很低
教徒 0+1（1p）邪教...我是说，先知怎么能没有信徒呢？这五名教徒（一名和蔼的老太太，两位辛勤养家的中年男士，还有一男一女两名年轻学生）平日明面上都是和他们的教主一样的遵纪守法模范好公民，行事也都很低调。约翰目前就以远方亲戚的假身份住在其中一人家中蹭饭。
优势（Merit）（6p）：
Avatar Companion (7 pt. Merit) From lifetime to lifetime, you share a bit of your Avatar with a companion who follows you through incarnations, recalling more about their details than you do. Although he’s not as powerful as you are, and lacks the metaphysical prowess of the Merits: Twin Soul or Shattered Avatar (above), this companion knows a great deal about your reincarnated self… quite a bit more about it than you do. This loyal (if not always agreeable) character literally follows you for life, typically ending his life when you do; in the meantime, he provides insights, advice, information about previous lifetimes, and whatever other forms of aid he can possibly offer. Like the Merit: Guardian Angel , the Avatar Companion is essentially a walking boost from your Storyteller, subject to her whims but acting in your best interests… for the most part, anyway. Unless it’s purchased in addition to the Background: Allies , your companion isn’t anything special; he could be a person or animal, but not a vampire, a werebeast, or some other Night-Folk entity. Your Avatar Companion could also be a Ward , the focus of True Love , or perhaps an embodiment of a Manifest Avatar . Treat him badly enough, and he might become an Enemy . (See all appropriate entries for details.) As with all other character-based Traits, this companion has his own personality, desires, and so on. He may be loyal, but he’s not suicidal, and isn’t likely to be thrilled if the mage decides to abuse his loyalty!
Jack-of-All-Trades (3 pt. Merit) You know a little about a lot. When attempting to make a roll using a Skill (not a Talent) that your character does not possess, you don’t suffer the usual penalty. (See Skills , Mage 20, p. 279.) If you’re trying to use a Knowledge your character does not possess, you can still make the roll but with an addition of +2 to the normal difficulty. (See Knowledges , Mage 20, p. 283.) Because Talent Traits represent innate gifts honed by practice, this Merit does not grant access to Talents that your character does not possess.
Regal Bearing (1 pt. Merit) Aristocratic charisma is your birthright. Although you might not actually hail from a noble family, your presence radiates dignity. Posture, features, tone of voice, aura of dominion – you’re got them all. People defer to you as a reflex; subtract -2 from the difficulty of your Social-Trait rolls whenever you’re trying to make an impression, and while certain folks will want to take you down a few pegs on general principle, most people are inclined to respect you even if they don’t necessarily like you.
Sanctity (2 pt. Merit) Although you might not actually be innocent, you project an impression of purity. People trust you even if you’re not trustworthy, and they’re inclined to think of you as some sort of paragon. Naturally, this can be an almighty pain in the ass too. When you get in trouble, though (and you will), the authorities will almost certainly go easy on you, friends will aid you, and even strangers may come to your defense because you couldn’t possibly be guilty of what you’re accused of doing!
缺陷（Flaw）：
Driving Goal (3 pt. Flaw) Even by Awakened standards, you possess (or are possessed by) a cause so intense that it drives every aspect of your life, up to and including your beliefs about, and approach to, magick and Ascension. This goal, sadly, is almost impossible to achieve on an individual basis: the collapse of the Technocracy, the return of the Old Ways, the fall of the industrialized era, and so forth. As a mage, you actually could gather enough influence to lead a larger movement that shifts Reality toward your goal. More likely, you will break yourself against that goal, as so many other mages have done before you… but hey, if a cause is as worth fighting for as yours is, then it’s worth whatever cost you must pay. As a Flaw, this Driving Goal inspires roleplaying choices and informs your character’s focus, allegiance, magick, Path, Resonance, Seekings, Paradox backlashes, and pretty much everything else you can imagine. You can take short breaks from your crusade (usually by spending a Willpower point in order to take a different road for a while), but eventually this obsession brings you back to the goal you must pursue at all costs until you finally accomplish it or destroy yourself trying.
具体内容：探索上帝与天使消失的真相，探查路西法的去向，探求人类与恶魔进化的道路
Dark Secret (1 pt. Flaw) A skeleton or two is hanging rather precariously in your closet. If (let’s be honest – when) it slips out and clatters to the floor, your life will get even more difficult than it already is. Did you steal something precious that was in your trust? Or live on the streets for a while? Maybe you came from a family you would rather not discuss (see the Flaw: Family Issues , below), were involved with a criminal organization, Awakened into a rival faction, or had a child or lover you’re trying to forget about. In any case, you’ll be in trouble unless you manage to keep that dark secret hidden… a feat that, in a world where reading minds is damned near entry-level magick, can be difficult indeed. (Note: Although this Flaw is traditionally worth only one point, Dark Secrets with potentially deadly consequences might be worth more points, at the Storyteller’s discretion.)
Primal Marks (3 pt. Flaw) You’ve been marked by some god, spirit, myth, or other metaphysical entity… and the mark is not a pleasant one. Maybe you share Papa Ghede’s nasal voice and crude sense of humor, or Coyote’s grotesquely huge cock, or Christ’s bleeding stigmata. Essentially, this Flaw is the flipside of the Merit: Mark of Favor ; in your case, though, the mark complicates your life, twists your body, and alerts people who understand the significance of that mark. In certain circles – say, being marked by Satan while living in a deeply religious region – a Primal Mark can be a life-threatening affair. Such marks can also indicate the profound displeasure of the entity in question, like the Mark of Cain (in a non-vampiric sense, anyway) which set the First Murderer apart while sparing his life for a long-enduring punishment. But even if the entity in question likes you, this particular mark is more of a burden than a blessing. If, for instance, you stink like a goat and have
the heavy, hairy features of Pan, that’s not going to make you terribly popular with the ladies… especially not if you’re female to begin with! This disconcerting legacy might come through as animalistic features that reveal your connection to a totem spirit, as described in the Totem Background entry and the appropriate section of Mage 20’s Appendix I. (See pp. 326-328 and 633636.) Or the “mark” might involve some physical manifestation of your inner Avatar. You could share the archetypal “look” of a notorious family, like the Borgias or Romanovs, even if you’re not actually related to that bloodline; or bear an uncanny resemblance to some sinister beast even if you’re not a shapechanger or totem-friend. Maybe you just look like what people think of when they say wizard, shaman, or witch – which, in many cultures, can be rather unhealthy for people so identified. In short, you look weird in the literal, uncanny meaning of that phrase, and people notice. Obviously, you should define the appearance of this feature, and decide the sort of reaction people have when they notice it. Because this is a Flaw, of course, that reaction should be negative in some way – the “primal mark of the Jolie-Pitt Clan” is not exactly a Flaw unless you’re dealing with paparazzi. The “mark” could also be a tone of voice, a distinct way of moving (birdlike, catlike, Papa Legba-like), or a certain vibe that nearly anyone can sense. Whatever their source and manifestation, these Primal Marks are obvious, and they tend to carry over even when a mage changes shape. People recognize you even when you’d rather not be recognized, and that sort of distinction can be rather unhealthy too. This Flaw goes well with Backgrounds like Blessing , Destiny , Legend , Past Lives , and, as suggested earlier, Totem . It could be taken as a genetic Flaw for Enhancements , or as a reflection of an especially potent Avatar . For extra fun, you might not even know why you’ve been so marked, who marked you, or what may come as a result of the mark. As with so many elements of a mage’s life, these Primal Marks could be mysteries whose answers lay at the end of a long and winding Path… if, indeed, those answers ever reveal themselves at all.

背景：
“所以为什么会这样呢？我从没见过任何古籍或传说中解释过如此不可思议之事...”
“此番异象确乎令人称奇，但时间必将揭示其中所蕴含的深意。”
“所以参与创世的天使也有不知道的事情咯？”
“我自叛出伊甸之时就早已认识到，这世上并无全知全能的存在。”
“你们天使就不能大方的说句‘我不知道’吗！”
约翰的幼年记忆是混乱的，这或许是觉醒的后遗症，不过他怀疑自己本来就不记得多少。而他最早的记忆，则是被某个又老又疯的神父所收养。那神父有一套被他说的头头是道的异端理论和一万个所谓的确凿无疑的证据，还自称曾经见过天使，为它效过劳。约翰常怀疑他到底是不是神父，更别提他的那些离奇经历了。老神父为他取了名字，单名一个约翰，没有姓氏，因为“你必要做宣教的人，宣教的人不为自己把东西留下”，然而他自己又从未和约翰提过自己的名字，别人也都只管他叫老头儿或者神父，对于约翰的疑问，他只说“传道的人并不都将有东西留下”。从此约翰就在他那儿长大，学习阅读各式的玄学读物，听他讲着各种离奇的故事，并在神父的默许甚至支持下和那松散的地下教派厮混。在约翰十三岁的时候，老神父失踪了，尽管约翰多加调查，也没找到他去向的任何踪迹，唯一的线索就是老头在失踪前几天提到过，自己可能又要蒙神召为天国效力了。约翰也就继承了他的资产（不要问我继承手续是怎么办的以及老头留下的身份记录（如果有的话）上写了啥名字），依旧每天专研那些叫人半懂不懂的书，和各路地下教派交流心得。
有一天，一个和他素来相熟的狂热分子告诉他，他们将要在近期举行一个将天使召唤至凡间的仪式，并且邀请他参加。约翰自然跳着就去了。
仪式的形式颇为典型，教徒们围着不知焚烧着什么的熊熊祭火站成一圈，一边颂唱咒语一边以整齐划一的迷之步调移动。约翰参加过好些次这类仪式了，从没碰到过哪次明确生效的，虽然他对此并不着急，但心下也不免开始怀疑自己平生所学的这些玄学玩意儿到底都有没有用。
在仪式进行的过程中，他不经意的望向对面那个人的面孔，而他发现，一双与他别无二致的面孔也正注视着他。
然后仪式就崩溃了。
约翰至今仍在好奇那场仪式的崩溃是不是出于自己和那人的分心，以及对方到底是什么人，不过他也没什么机会知道了。剧烈的能量在房间中炸裂开来，约翰被震飞了好几米，眼前闪过各种仿佛濒死之人才会看见的幻象。这样的情景持续了仿佛有几个世纪，不过约翰最后总算是成功的回到了活人的世界，在地上挣扎了半天才从爬起身来。
房间里一片死寂，其他在场者都消失了，只有正中央熊熊燃起的祭火发出的噼啪声大破寂静。
而之前的那副面孔则在祭火的对面沉默的看着他。
约翰抬起手，觉得自己最好及时说点或做点什么，好保住自己刚才鬼门关前捡回来的姓名。
就在这个时候，对方抢先打破了寂静。
“吾名以西结，深红军团之传令者，第一王族的叛军，引导荣光之人。”
“哦，你好啊以西结，我是耶利米。”
尽管性格大相径庭，所道之事也荒诞不经，但是在对任何不可思议之事都抱着种戏谑般姑且一信态度的约翰面前，以西结的天方夜谭却得到了接受，或者至少是容忍。它声称自己正是他们所寻求的天使，只不过它早在几千年前就为了人类的启蒙而背叛了上帝，成为了伊甸中的蛇。而它们与人类共同反抗上帝的愿景则在天国的军势席卷他们最后的堡垒时宣告破灭，没人知道上帝如何发落堕落者的首领，路西法，而余数则被尽皆投入地狱，永世监禁。
远离它们一切所曾珍爱之物的时光逼疯了许多恶魔，在它们每个人身上留下了不可磨灭的印记，而即便地狱的大门也未能逃脱时间的磨砺。不久之前，一场来历不明，规模空前的巨大风暴席卷了地狱，而的地狱与凡世之间的无形隔阂则在这场异变之中被削弱到了让许多恶魔（如今它们的名字已经成了这个）足以从中逃脱的地步——以灵体的形式。他们必须附着在濒死的凡人身上才能存在于凡世，而这一过程也大大削弱了他们原本的力量...（详见恶魔核心书（划掉））
听起来真够扯淡的。
换成别的人，可能一个字儿都不会信，甚至在听到第一句时就拒绝再将这无稽之谈继续听下去，但约翰不是别的人。他能感受到自己身上的变化，感受到这个自称天使的存在身上的异质之处，以及在他们两人之间的某种特殊的链接...他接受了以西结的这番奇谈，和它一同离开了这个其他成员都已失踪的房间（他们事后调查过这些人的去向，但一无所获，以西结认为他们有可能被传送到地球上的其他地方乃至其他界域了，可怜的人们（并不）），回到老神父留下的那堆文献里开始调查刚才发生的事件...出乎他的意料而又在意料之中，他现在能够理解其中一些无法理解的符号与图样说的都是什么了...看起来，似乎约翰在之前的仪式当中觉醒了自己的某种潜质，成为了也被称为法师的觉醒者的一员。这些觉醒者能够操弄世界的基础原理，凭借一己之念改写现实...他还发现，这些觉醒者和一种名为化身的存在息息相关，就他手头的信息来看，约翰和以西结似乎是享有着同样的化身...这种事情在法师中非常罕见，但并不是没有过先例。文件里没有解释这是为什么，更没有提到恶魔为何也会有化身...好吧，无论如何日子还得照过，约翰也开始试着和这个叫做以西结的恶魔相互交流...
他的发现是：“原来恶魔的三观可以和人类这么同步吗...”
在逐渐适应现在的状态（并莫名迅速的结下了深厚的羁绊）之后，以西结劝说约翰前往罗斯威尔寻找一些古代的遗物，但关于那具体是什么，它也记不清，只记得那十分重要。
约翰在罗斯威尔募集信众的要求极高，他和以西结多数时间都在默默观察，找出那些品行卓越，头脑开放的人。他们清楚自己现在的能力尚不足以启蒙感化众生，因此他们决定先培养品行优良，心地纯正的成员，然后再依序带动感化心境较次的人们...以西结见过对凡人无差别教化甚至强制灌输思想的后果，而它绝不愿在眼前重蹈覆辙。
约翰的教义或教派并没有什么特殊的名字，其基础教义也很简单，不外乎向他们灌输各种初级的神学理论教学以及神秘学文献，同时也并不否认科学。这是因为约翰和以西结认定他们的教导应当循序渐进，逐渐步向真相...约翰这么说：“我不会给予你们真实，我也无法给予你们真实。能给予你们真实的唯有上帝，以及你们自己的探寻。而我所做的，只能是引导你们接近真实，为你们指出真实的诸多可能，而非僭越属于上帝与你们自己的权力。”
简化版：一个疯疯癫癫的异端老神父收养了孤儿约翰并为他命名，并教导他各种玄学知识，直到他突然消失并留下一堆神秘的信息，从那之后年轻的约翰就正式过上了与各式异端教徒厮混的日子。有一天一群教徒邀请他一起参加一个召唤天使的仪式，约翰参加了，并在仪式中看到了一个和自己外貌相同的人。仪式最终失败了，而约翰发现自己成为了一个觉醒者，也就是法师，那个与他有着相同 的人则被他们召来的堕落天使所附身。这名与约翰有着迷之连接的堕天使讲述了一系列关于过往历史的令人难以置信的故事，而决定走一步看一步的约翰则决定权且半信这些怪话，先弄清发生了什么再说。随着时间的流逝，两人逐渐熟络友好起来，而以西结在协助约翰传教之余则劝说他前往罗斯威尔寻找某些古代残留...
观念与态度：
天国颂歌的神父：我可没有把别人打成异端的习惯，我们之间总会有很多共同点和话题的。再说了，光凭 的势力之大，我就该谨慎相待...
印第安萨满们：啊，万物有灵，我一直很喜欢这个理论，和真相也并不矛盾。尽管以西结和我对这方面都不太熟，但没理由不和他们进行些友好的交流，我又不是那些拿着把枪就像把信仰强加给别人的的殖民者...
科联技师们：科技很“合理”，这点无可否认。虽然科联的行为剥削了其他法师的意识场，但是科学本身并没有错，它只是对原初规律的一种体现...以西结甚至还蛮擅长这个的。不过我们还不至于把这么值得研究的现实干犯者样本送上门去...希望有一天我们能有所交流达成共识吧...有梦是好事，哪怕不现实。
华人医师丹华子：我对中国人没什么了解，他们有着自己的一系列宗教。虽说并非所有华人都是这样，但这一位看起来并不像是会接受十字架的样子...虽说需要的话，以西结能治愈大多数伤势，但有机会还是去和他接触一下吧。
