Angels

""The Angels are a species of spiritual beings. Created by God and Goddess, they were residents in Heaven to guard the realm against the forces of Evil, until Satan's transformation into the Dragon and Lucifer's rebellion, which caused a civil war that split the Angels in two groups, one that was still loyal to God and its laws, while the other was banished in Hell, the realm of the damned.

Characteristics
The Angels are often described as powerful and strong beings that have received divine power from God himself; they are considered one of the most powerful species to be ever existed and they are the physical incarnation of all the values that God rapresents. However, they are also quite self-righteous and even if they do help humanity, they see them as inferior next to them. As such, they can be quite blind in regard of the world and even have a black and white outlook toward everyone, in particular the half breeds, who they hunted down for almost eight millenia just because of what they were. As such, the Angels were also blind toward Lucifer, not realising that he was changing until he rebelled with all the Grigori aiding him.

Society
The Angels are organised into something between a militar organisation and a religious order, where everyone is treated as a sibling with equal right, but obedience and respect are also excpected. In particular, the Angels must highly respect the Archangels, who are regarded as God's greatest warrior and a force that is wise not to mess with, because they can become quite dangerous if someone tries to push them too hard.

Archangels
Although the Archangels are the oldest of Angels they are much different from the rest of them, in particular because they are primordial species, meaning that they were bestowed with a higher level of power and unique abilities among them, making them the strongest beings in Heaven. The Archangels are as different from the Angels as different they are from humans, indicating a clear distinction amng the ranks.


 * Satan (formely) - Satan was the first and oldest Archangel created by God and Goddess. He was originally charged as the guardian of the Underworld, but he was corrupted by the evil of Abaddon until he was beyond redemption and was twisted into the Dragon, an evil incarnation of everything that Abaddon incarnated. He was responsible for Lucifer's rebellion, for the birth of the half breeds and as such he was imprisoned for all time deep down in the core of Hell itself, bound forever to the Frozen Throne.
 * Lucifer - Michael's twin and the second Archangel ever created, Lucifer was known as the Lightbringer and he was described as the most beautiful and more powerful of all God's Angels in Heaven, second only to Satan himself. Lucifer was God's favorite son until he rebelled against him and was banished by Michael in Hell with all his followers.
 * Michael - Lucifer's twin and the strongest Angel, Michael was the leader of God's army. With his older siblings rebelled and his parents vanished, it's up to Michael to keep Heaven in check and he is the ruler of the realm.
 * Gabriel - Also known as the messager of God, Gabriel is the fastest of all God's Angels and she is the oldest female Angel to exist. She is known for being highly sarcastic and closer to humanity than any of her siblings.
 * Uriel - Uriel is the other female Archangel and she is the gretest archer in Heaven. She is also the most skilled of her siblings in magic and she became quite powerful in it, being more skilled than even Satan himself, although not as much powerful as him.
 * Raphael - Raphael is the youngest and is the greatest healer to have ever existed. As the youngest sibling, he often feals overshadowed by his older siblings, but they still greately appriciate him for his healing skills, which they consider uncomparable among them.

Powers and abilities
As spiritual being created by God and Goddess, the Angels have many supernatural powers that are far beyond those of most supernatural beings. Depending on their rank, power and experience, the power of an Angel can be greatly different, however, most of them displayed the following powers.


 * Cosmic Awareness - Because of their vast lifespan, the Angels have a vast knowledge of the world and their advanced systems allow them to be aware if there are particular events in the world. Additionally, they seem to possess some kind of supernatural sense that makes them feel if there are major events that require their personal attention.
 * Elementukinesis - As spiritual beings in a humanoid form, Angels have a deep affinity into using the natural elements such as fire, water, earth and air. Because of this, they are capable of affecting the weather around them to a vast scale when they want to.
 * Sancti-Ignikinesis - All Angels were able to generate the Holy Fire, a more advanced form of fire, which was infused with their inner godness and allowed them to create a powerful weapon. The Holy Fire was mostly gold and it was extremely lethal for beings of Darkness and Evil, however, the most powerful beings, like the Eldritch Horrors and Satan were vastly unaffected by it and only a being as powerful as an Archangel could harm them successfully. The Holy Fire could also be used to purify the soul of demonic presence and it was also used to forge most of the heavenly weaponary.
 * Immense Combat - Since the Angels were created to be enforceres of good, they have natural fighting skills that they have gretely enhanced through the millenia, making all of them increadibly skilled warriors that are feared by every creature. Angels displayed a natural affinity in many martial forms, using both medieval and modern weapons and excellent fighting instincts. According to Michael, all Angels had a natural affinity for combat that made for most of them almost impossible to relax.
 * Immortality - As spiritual beings with a physical form, Angels were immune to aging, as demostrated by the fact that some of them have existed for billions of years. Unless killed or stripped from their wings, the Angels were meant to exist forever, since their physiology also protected them from most injuries.
 * Nigh-Invulnerability - As spiritual beings, the Angels could not be killed by any human weapon and they could only be hurt with magical objects. Additionally, they were completely immune to any human disease or injure, because their physiology protected them from both; they also do not require sleeep, food or drinking to survive, since they are spiritual creatures. In fact, the Angels are also quite durable and capable of taking a vast amount of blows with little sign of injure, however, they can still received lethal injuries if challenged by more powerful and stronger beings, to the point where it would require them some time to heal.
 * Super healing factor - Thanks to their healing powers and supernatural physiology, the Angels were able to heal from a large scale of injury that would have killed many other beings. However, they were unable to regrow their wings and as much as advanced their healing factor is, if an Angel is beaten down by a much stronger being, it could require a large amount of time for the injuries to cure properly, with some cases being impossible to heal completely on their own.
 * Photokinesis - As the children of God, all Angels have a high level of control over light that is unmatched by most of other species; their entire body radiates light in their true form and even their wings are completely covered by it, so much that in fact they have to use a vast deal of power to prevent humans from seeing their light. They are capable of using their power both as an offensive and a defensive weapon, using its power to obliterate many dark creatures, in particular the Old Ones, who can be affected by this power to a very high degree.
 * White Light - The Angels can generate the unique White Light, a powerful form of white energy that is lethal and can completely destroy everything on its path, however, at second of how much strong they are, the Angels can manipulate a certain amount of power without risking being destroyed. In fact, if an Angel use more power than what he can afford, his entire body could be possibly destroyed by the pure amount of power directly generated.
 * Resurrection/ Healing/ Purification - The Angels were created as enforcers good and as such they wer imbued with the power to heal, purify and even resurrect the souls of those that were affected by dark and venomous energy. As such, they are able to heal others from injuries that are not beyond their reach and they can even resurrect deceased beings.However, they can only restore those that are not beyond their reach an only if they are not protected from more powerful beings.
 * Shapeshifting - The Angels had very advanced shapeshifting skills, in particular between their human and angelic form. While they were in their human aspect, the Angels looked like ordinary humans, although they were more beautiful and more muscled than humans; they had a natural grace that most humans did not have. The Angels were able to assume their true visage, were their all body was covered in golden light, wearing full armors and with huge bird like wings on their back. The Angels were also capable of revealing a partial part of their true nature, showing only their wings or by illuminating their body.
 * Super Speed/ Agility - The Angels are rather fast and as such their reflexes, speed and agility is much higher than most beings, to the point where is rather difficult to catch them off guard, because they can move so fast that most people would never even see them coming. Whenever they are flying or showing their true form, all their speed is vastly augmented and they are capable of facing hordes of weaker monsters rather easily.
 * Super Strength - The Angels are physically much stronger than most human beings and as such they are capable of incredible feats of physical might. Even the youngest and new created Angels are capable of effortlessly lift an outgrown man with no visible sign of fatigue and their physical might makes them capable of throwing lethal blows to their opponents to the point where some of them are able to kill their enemies with a well placed blow. In addition, most Angels are able to imbue their strength not only in their body, but also in their wings and they can use them to toss aside many beings rather easily.
 * Telepathy - As spiritual beings, most Angels developed a telepathic link that made them able to comunicate with each other though their minds.
 * Telekinesis - The Angels have displayed a high level of telekinetic power and they were able to use this skill both to paralise their opponents and to defend themselves against minor attacks. Some Angels also relied to this power to fly without attracting too much attention. They were also capable of using it to inflict injuries on their opponents from afar, avoiding direct contact with them.
