Cassiel mostly keeps to himself because he wants to stay focused on his goals, but he does allow himself to socialize and associate with others. He doesn't really discriminate against people when he meets them. A simple handshake is really all that he needs to know a hefty amount about the person he has just met, and he knows that people aren't perfect either. It's the reason for his existence. He's typically rather amicable and good-mannered, genuinely enjoys meeting new people too. He's courteous to demons and fallen, if not grudgingly. He may not be a fluffy angel, but he has a heart of gold.
ADVERSARIES
Cas already has a couple of enemies floating around the site, but I'd be up for more people to push him against the tide. Naturally, his job causes him to dislike, sometimes even loathe, people who harm others or commit heinous crimes. He's usually the one around that tells you "no you can't do that", which does land him into trouble. Although he tends to be understanding, there are things that he's completely black or white about and can be pretty stubborn about it. He respects the fallen's decisions to abandon their work, but once they start causing trouble, they become his prey. He's pretty forgiving, but push him too far and things do get messy.
ROMANCES
I don't foresee Cassiel having any sort of love interest, considering that he's probably about as vanilla and asexual as you can get. He's never had a real love interest in all the 1000+ years he's been around for. You're welcome to try your luck though. It's possible that he just hasn't run into the right person that he'd become interested in. Relationships are something that he thinks are sacred and would be incredibly hesitant to get into anything past platonic. It'd be enough to make him insane.
MISCELLANEOUS
Cassiel's been around for a really, really long time. He perceives time and years differently from the average human or creature. It's not a power. He's just... slow. By the time he's learned what #yolo is, the world has moved onto a new catchphrase that he feels he needs to research down to its very roots to fully grip its meaning. He works as a paramedic in Manhattan and is used to sleeping and waking at odd hours, though he finds that he doesn't really need to sleep to keep going. I think the fact that he's pretty old would be a feasible alibi for being somewhat acquainted with a wide variety of characters. He's probably bumped into a few deities causing trouble and stuck around to do damage control for their hijinks in the recent years that he really began his work as an active guardian. Even when he first started on Earth in around 1500, he stayed hidden and kept to himself. He's only recently started milling about in society.

/steals plot virginity
edit:
allies, perhaps? as in, cas gives janus a call when shit goes down. in exchange, janus gets to indirectly save his noncombatant ass (since cas doesn't look very dangerous). an extra pair of eyes never goes amiss when nyc is so friggin huge.
he might be a bit of a flirt if cas acts as virginal as he is. probably not going anywhere serious, though

THAT'S CHEATING.
edit:
I'm up for allies. Cas isn't really built for fighting, more for avoiding conflict or support. He'd appreciate the help, not the flirting. I actually think he's enough of a square to cock block himself one of those "fml no pre-marital sex no pre-marital sex NO PRE-MARITAL SEX MARITAL WHAT I CAN'T GET MARRIED NO" kind of things. Have yourself a very confused Watcher I guess lolol. Considering that he's a paramedic, I think he'd be pretty aware of shit going down so it would be a small price to pay for him.
redox it's not an act he really is that virginal nbd. /shot

lol hyung ur so blocktext'd errywhar
but yeah, if cas does find himself in a fix that sounds like something that janus might be interested in, give him a call. maybe he'll pop into your thread for a bit (if the other rpers don't mind, i mean). i'm not sure if his pride will even see it as a partnership, though. more like a trade, i think. he'll behave civilly at times and humor others in their assumptions of equality, but janus keeps mental tabs on who the sheep are in his relationships

... I like blockquote and justify tags sue me.
I think that Janus would be a last resort anyways, making them something like tentative acquaintances. Like I said earlier, a deus machina is meant as a last resort. I do think that you're right about how he'd assume they were at equality considering it was a trade. I think he'd be pretty wary about it too, considering that he's ambivalent towards all the new deities, what with the fact that his boss is supposed to be the only big cheese in the world.
