Summary of Psychological Changes:
In canon, due to the loss of his "grace" (angelic power) and abandoning of the Earth by his fellow angels, Castiel went through a wild personality change in "The End." Over the course of five years, he became addicted to sex, drugs, and alcohol and used these crutches as forms of escapism to avoid how depressing his apocalyptical life was. He was self-described as "hopeless" and when confronted with reality, laughed to avoid crying.

With a different future ahead of him at the end of "Swan Song," Castiel is radically different. He uses his angelic powers to keep himself distanced from humans (like Dean and Sam), but allies with humanity, ostracizing himself from his fellow, more relatable, angels. However, even among angels Castiel is described as rebellious and odd. He lacks a strong sense of humor, is awkward in interpersonal situations, and while he's coped by drinking on occasion, it takes an impractical amount of liquor, so he generally just tries to avoid or endure bad situations. Because he has his grace and fellow angels, he remains stubbornly optimistic and had enduring faith in God.

These two personalities clash. While Cas has learned some social grace in the bad end timeline and in Deerington and Deer Country, with the return of his grace and fellow angels, the defeat of Michael and Lucifer and the avoidance of the apocalypse, he'll have his head back in the game, a returned sense of shame and optimism. The revival will clear the drugs from his system and he won't see a reason to imbibe (because of a lack of despair and also because they won't affect him like they did), so being sober will also contribute to a return to his more reserved and awkward nature. Most strikingly, he'll no longer be content to live out his days in Deer Country, as he'll be anxious to return to his home universe and continue seeing through the restoration of Heaven, now lacking its favorite archangel Michael.

Deer Country Attributes

• Canon Powers: With the return of Castiel's grace, comes a host of angelic powers. There's a complete list at his wiki, but notably:
- Teleportation
- Healing (including self-healing)
- Telekinesis
- Time-travel (limited)
- Invulnerability to injury/sickness/death, except by extreme causes (like being stabbed in the heart with an angel blade, being exploded by an archangel, or whatever big bad magic Deer Country wants to throw at him)
- Super strength
- Telepathy / dream-walking
- Resurrection
- Invisibility

• Blood Type: Paleblood
• Omen: A wolf-dog with four eyes.
• Blessed Day: November 5th. Has no significance to Castiel, but OOC it's the day the episode "Despair" aired. (That link has major spoilers for Season 15, and the end of Supernatural.)
• Patron Pthumerian: The Tower. Cas is going to be pretty indifferent to his patron until he finds out about the tragic love story, and then he'll be sympathetic. He still won't trust The Tower, but if things go well instead of badly, it might inspire him to try to be a little less destructive and more creative.
• Blood Power Manifestation: Paleblood powers combined with Castiel's former angelic powers, only ever to be used with permission from all involved parties:

• Prophetic vision. At its weakest, Cas will have a sort of "spidey sense" or bad feeling in the minutes before something dangerous (as dangerous as someone being killed or "dangerous" as a glass shattering) happens in the vicinity. With practice, he will be able to "see" what's going to happen, lengthened the warning time from minutes to hours/days/years, and be able to see non-dangerous events (such as someone telling a bad joke or buying themselves something) as well.


• Possession. This ability will initially be restricted to dream-control, but with enough practice, Cas will be able to take over someone's physical body while they are occupied inside their own mind in a dream-like state. He will be able to control their physical actions, including access to whatever blood-related powers they have. The longer he has control of someone, the more physical damage it will do to the body of the person he is possessing.


• Psychometry + Supernatural detection. By touching a person or an object, Cas will be able to sense and understand the memories, emotions, or physical traits of the person/thing as pictures delivered into his head. This will initially be very painful for him and the images will be disconnected and flashing, but with practice, he'll be able to see, understand, and interpret the images put into his head more easily.
