IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He will be startled and awkward but sure
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's more used to that so sure, but he can go to extremes sometimes. A punch might not just be a punch, and it'll hit like a literal mack truck besides.
RELATIONSHIPS: Romantic: very unlikely but I'm not opposed. Sexual: less unlikely and again, not opposed. Platonic: yes, he could use more friends. Antagonistic: sure but please let's discuss when it seems like it's going that way.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Castiel is capable of reading very surface-level thoughts without much effort, can move objects with telekinesis (think slamming doors, turning locks, flinging smaller furniture items across a room), can light objects and people aflame with pyrokinesis, and can hear prayers that are in general to God and heaven (moreso if the prayers are directed to him specifically). With more effort, Castiel can dig through someone's memories and thoughts, rip out knowledge, alter or erase months of memories (or memories of specific times/things/people), supplant false memories, and even cause brain damage to the point of coma or death.
For characters reading Castiel, they'll notice that he has a very sturdy wall to discourage anybody peeking into his head. If anyone persists, they'll be treated to a deluge of information from a mind hundreds of millions of years old, possibly in languages or wavelengths they may not be able to comprehend. One psychic in canon was able to converse with Castiel when he wasn't within a vessel, but her eyes burned from her skull when she tried to see further. Another psychic was able to read minds immediately upon sight and discern someone's identity and intent, but stated he could only 'get colors' from Castiel. It's up to the character how to play this out.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Castiel has a vast array of spells, curses, and other magical knowledge crammed into his ancient skull. While his knowledge isn't a complete compendium of every spell or curse, he remembers what he does know perfectly, and can categorize and remember forever anything he's shown once. He of course can also cast spells on his own, though as a holy creature he's limited in what he can do, and can't use magic purely demonic in nature.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Castiel's vessel is like that of a normal human's, except he heals from mortal wounds instantly; he doesn't suffer from exhaustion, temperature extremes, or other discomforts; he doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep; and he cannot suffer from diseases or illnesses. He's immortal and does not age. However, wounds inflicted with an angel blade (like the one he carries) or injuries/afflictions caused specifically by tools, spells, or curses meant to bring harm to a higher holy being can harm and kill him. Wounds that break the skin using angelic weapons will cause him to bleed a bright white light (called grace) until he can rest and recover.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Castiel will probably blank out if he's forcibly restrained, if he suffers any eye wounds, or if he's threatened with being sent back to Heaven. He's kind of delicate right now. For other characters, Castiel speaks very frankly about most things, including some of the most horrifying and/or embarrassing. Thanks to the years with the Winchesters he's learned a little propriety; for some topics of a delicate nature he'll be gentler, but he still will blurt out observations and questions that others would usually sidestep in polite conversation.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Absolutely, I'm pretty slow
THREADHOPPING: Yes to a degree; text/voice/video posts are fine, please ask for action/log
FOURTHWALLING: Reasonably okay, Castiel can suspend his disbelief like nobody's business and has experienced both time- and dimension-travel
NOT INTERESTED IN: Heavily negative CR

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Castiel looks like a somewhat beleaguered and troubled salary man in his late thirties/early forties. Unless a character has abilities that let them see creatures that possess human bodies, he'll look like a normal human. Outside of his vessel, for characters who can look at him without their eyes burning out of their skulls, Castiel is a massively huge creature made up of light; skyscraper-height in terms of size, but his form is capable of changing, folding down, expanding larger. He's made of light so he can basically do whatever.
AURAL: Castiel's voice is pretty rough and somewhat deep. He sounds anywhere from like he's got a bad sore throat to "did someone stab you in the voice box and you miraculously survived?" depending on his physical condition. Outside of his vessel, Castiel's voice will sound like either a.) a high-pitched shrieking screech capable of making one's ears bleed, or b.) the most beautiful orchestral music and chorus of comforting whispers anyone has ever heard, ever.
OLFACTORY: Castiel doesn't have any sort of scent at all, except for when he's using angel mojo. Then he probably smells a bit like ozone, like the air immediately after a lightning strike.
DEMEANOR: Castiel tends to stand just a little too still and stare a little too long. He has that vaguely off-putting nature, as a creature in a human body that definitely isn't human. To those with more animal instincts he might even come off as dangerous or horrifying, dipping into 'uncanny valley' when he takes too long between breaths for it to be natural. To those not paying as close attention, however, he just seems like a slightly odd nobody, who largely minds his business and keeps to himself.
