Aba

In order to fully comprehend the scope of human sexuality, Aba identifies with all human genders and none of them. This means that many of Aba’s vessels are viewed as being feminine or effeminate. However, this is not really an accurate description of Aba. Yes, they are feminine and effeminate, but also macho and manly, fat, thin, cybernetic, and just about anything else that might impact how an individual and those around them interact sexually. As the angel of Human Sexuality, Aba must walk a fine line. They support all physical expressions of human attraction, even ones that their angelic peers find abhorrent. At the same time, as an eloah of Gabriel, Aba must punish those humans who delight in inflicting emotional harm. To Aba this is about accepting and preserving all that is holy within love’s physical manifestation by actively rejecting and removing the social and emotional evil that can come along with it. Many of Eli’s servitors in service to Gabriel coordinate through Aba, as do angels of other Superiors who are planning raids against Andrealphus. The angel of Human Sexuality is one of the few who engages in such raids frequently enough to be considered an expert. Unfortunately, Laurence cannot stand Aba’s acceptance of sexual behaviors rejected by the Catholic faith ~ so Aba is frequently left out of the Sword’s plans.
== Aba's Shadow ==
If you could distill the things that Dominic distrusts into a single celestial, you would probably end up with someone like Aba. Their Word is dangerously close to the infernal word of Lust, their Superior is too unstable to provide “proper” oversight, and they are a close collaborator with the apostate archangel, Eli. As a result, Aba is accompanied at all times by a cherub of Judgement. One who is almost as critical of human sexulity as Aba is accepting.
== Shades of Grey ==
Don't tell Dominic, but Aba has a dark side, one that has caused them to, occasionally, flirt with Falling. Conflicts in their nature easily produce someone passionate, mercurial, self-destructive, and highly discordant. Even if Aba is stable, they can be presented as dark at any given moment simply by rejecting any rules you and your players have about sex and sexuality. Do you consider pederasty to be beyond the pale? Aba doesn’t. Snuff films? Aba is fine with them as long as the death is “humane.” Voyeuristic stalking? If a stalker never makes their target aware of their presence, Aba embraces the practice. So long as there is no emotional harm, the darker side of Aba is okay with the utter extremes of any kink.
