Category:Angels

Angels are messengers and servants of The Creator. They are broken into three types, with specific jobs being given to each individual angel. These types, in order from most to least powerful, are Archangel, Seraphim, and Cherubim. Angel’s posses the powers of the lower types but not the higher types. For example the Seraphim have all the powers a Cherubim posses but not all the powers an Archangel posses. Archangels and Seraphims have their power imbued with in them and wont lose most of their abilities if they fall from or lose connection to heaven, while Cherubims get their power from being in connection with heaven.

Main Types:
Archangel: 

7 Archangels exist in creation although only 4 have been named and showed up in the story so far (Michael, Gabriel,Azrael, Lucifer). These seven are the oldest and strongest of all the angels, rivaling Major gods of the pantheons. Each of these archangels is given a special weapon to carry out their assigned task (I.e. Michael a sword and Azrael a scythe). They have all three tiers of powers.

Seraphim:

Seraphim are the seconds strongest of the angels of heaven. They rival the Minor gods of the pantheons. Seraphim usually serve the Archangels as lieutenants. The have medium and low tier powers with some high tier powers being granted to them based on the archangel they’re serving.

Cherubim:

Cherubim are the weakest type of angels but the most numerous. Despite being weaker then their Seraphim and Archangels brothers they can still hold their own against most mortal and supernatural creatures. They are comparable to the lesser gods of the pantheons. These angels are more of the blue-collar workers of heavens. Most of the Cherubim’s power comes from its connection to heaven; if it loses that connection it loses most of its power. The Cherubim can only access the low-tier of abilities with some medium-tier abilities being granted to them.

Other types:
Nephilim:

Nephilim are the product of an angel and a human. While not technically an angel they still possess the superhuman strength and endurance that an angel does while possessing the mortality of a human

Fallen Angel:

If an angel falls either through their own will or through their actions, depending on their type they may retain some of their powers. Their wings appear as broken and plucked. Any level of angel can become a fallen angel. (I.E. Lucifer is an archangel but also the first Fallen Angel).

Specialized Angels:
Reapers:

These are specialized death angels who work specifically for the archangel Azrael. They act as guides, helping the dead cross over. They are mainly Cherubim with a handful of Seraphs in the mix. In addition to the powers granted by their type they have Death Touch, which can kill a mortal creature just by touching them.

Cupid:

These angels are the matchmakers. They are all Cherubim. While they play matchmaker their only real task is to make sure special bloodlines cross in order to keep to the “Bigger Picture”.

Low-Tier Powers (Cherubims, Seraphims, Archangels):
Human Form: By ripping its own wings out an angel can enter into a human form. In this form they gain amnesia that prevents them from remembering their angelic past. They can only revert to an angel if they take enough damage to kill a human but not enough or in a way to kill the angel out right. They are given the most of the same powers as their angelic forms however these powers are greatly restricted

Astral Projection - Angels can project shadowy forms of their wings onto surfaces at will.

Dream Walking - Angels can appear in people's dreams, they usually use this to communicate, when they can't find the person they're looking for, or want to talk privately.

Immortality - Angels do not age and cannot be killed by diseases or Earthly weapons. Most angels have existed since the beginning of time.

Invulnerability: In their angel form Angels have an enhanced resistance to human weapons and most forms of damage. However archangel weapons and angel weapons can still injure them normally.

Localization - Angels can localize any human who is not protected by warding sigils.

Regeneration – An angel heals faster than a mortal human even in human form

Reality Warping - Angels are powerful enough to bend reality to their will. The more powerful the angel, the greater their capability.

Smiting - Perhaps an angel's most versatile and terrifying weapon, smiting allows the angel to kill almost any demon, monster and even humans with a touch. Smiting is often exhibited when angels place their hands or palms on their adversaries' face, forehead, or mouth.

Super Stamina - Angels never tire, and they do not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain them.

Super Strength – An angel even in human form has far greater strength than a normal human. The strength depends on the type of angel with Archangel being the strongest.

Super Senses - Angels possess an acute sense of smell. Their sense of smell is heightened to the point where they can identify people by smelling their body, bone or by their blood. Angels can also identify people by sniffing their genes and hormones as well. Because angels operate on a different plane of existence, they can see atoms and ions which are impossible for humans to see. Angels can hear a humans conversations miles away from them, and they are somehow able to locate any human on the planet and find them, but they can't locate people if they are protected by an warding  charm or symbol. They also have an amazing sense of taste and are able to taste every molecule in a piece of food. However, while in human form these senses are toned down far more.

Supernatural Perception - Angels are able to see almost all-supernatural activity around them. They can also see Demons and Hellhounds.

Telekinesis - Angels are able to telekinetically move beings and objects with their mind. They are able to use this power in a more aggressive manner like demons, but are often not depicted as doing so.

Flight – Angels can fly if not in their human form

Temporal Awareness - Angels are capable of becoming aware whenever any alteration occur within the time-stream, allowing them to discern alternate timelines and the like.

Protective Charm - An angel can protect an individual from most forms of physical damage. This degree of protection is linked to an angel's power.

Pyrokinesis – Angels are able to make objects burn super hot or even start fires using their mind

Terrakinesis – Angels can control earth often through tremors and earthquakes

Mid-Tier Powers (Seraphims, Archangels):
Advanced Smiting -Higher angels are able to smite beings with less effort and stronger than common angels. When higher angels, fell from the grace, they don't lose their ability to smite.

Biokinesis - Higher level angels can render a man blind with just a touch.

Vessel Locking - Powerful angels can hold a demon in smoke form as if it was tangible and force the demon to return to its vessel.

Advanced Pyrokinesis -Powerful angels can generate and manipulate fire. Archangels are able to do it to the point it will kill another angel, suggesting a physical and supernatural element to the fire

Soul Reading/Channeling - Angels are able to read a human's soul, but it is a painful experience for the human. They can also use the soul as a source of energy, but the pain is even greater for the human, and there is the risk of an explosion if the angel is not careful.

Power Negation- Powerful angels such a seraph is capable of removing psychic powers from human beings permanently. However, the process is very painful and can leave the person mentally damaged.

Holy White Light - A particularly lethal power, some angels can unleash a highly concentrated blast of pure energy from their palms to destroy targets. The level of destruction can be controlled.

High-Tier Powers (Archangels):
Cosmic Awareness - All archangels have a superhuman knowledge of the universe.

Thermokinesis – Archangels are able to control heat. They can either cause things to be super hot or super cold.

Electrokinesis – Archangels can control electricity

Implosive Smiting -A more powerful version than a lower angel's smiting. This could obliterate powerful beings such as archangels themselves.

Shapeshifting – An  obvious power.

Weather Manipulation – Archangels can manipulate the weather even to the point of causing massive storms

Terrakinesis - Archangels are able to create severe quakes and can do so at greater levels then normal angels.

Mental Manipulation – Archangels are able to implant memories and knowledge into people.

Greater resistance: Archangels are more resistant to damage. To the point where Holy Fire burns them rather than kills them.

Weaknesses:
Archangel weapons: When they were created, the archangels were each given a weapon that was specific to their job. If struck lethally with these weapons they will be killed outright. This includes archangels. (Azrael's Scythe is an archangel weapon)

Angel Blades: Most angels carry small daggers with them. These daggers can kill Seraphims and Cherubims however these angel blades are nothing more than plastic knives when used on Archangels

Holy Fire: Holy fire is the result when Holy oil is lit on fire. This can burn the angels causing them to severly burn and even possibly death

Ancient/Magic: Cherubims and Seraphims can be greatly effected by ancient or dark magic. Archangels are effected on a lesser scale.

Imprisonment: Imprisoning Angels is a good way to neutralize them. The only way to imprison an Archangel is through the use of Lucifer’s cage.
