## Origin and Status

### Classified as

Spirit

**Angels**, also known as **Malakim**, are the divine celestial beings that appear in every Abrahamic religion (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) as manifestations of God's will and to rule and protect Creation from all beings that seek to destroy it. The word "angel" means "messenger" in Greek. Angels serve as a link between God and humankind. They are also sometimes referred to as "servants."

## Overview

Other roles include protectors and guides for humans, and servants of God. Abrahamic religions describe angelic hierarchies, which vary by sect and religion. Some angels have specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). Those expelled from Heaven are called fallen angels, distinct from the heavenly host.

Angels appear in many parts of the Bible and other scriptures. Both in the form of holy white light as well as considerable power. Angels can also be classed as warriors, and as such they are usually depicted as having celestial armour. Their true form is nothing less of holy righteous beings which are beautiful as well as hazardous, overwhelming, and terrifying all at the same time; ranging from two to six (maybe more) large feathered wings on their backs, four animalistic heads with halos of light around them, eldritch bodies, several eyes that can be found on their either their bodies or wings, and heights as tall as skyscrapers, Araphel's true form's visage killed an Japanese God.

## Description

The number of wings on an angel depicts their rank in power within the Celestial Circles of Heaven. A normal angel has three sets of wings. While in battle, the wings not only serve as a power of flight, but also seals for their power. When an angel releases its first pair wings, their speed increases. When the second pair of wings are released, their agility and reflexes are increased. When the third and final pair of wings are released, their strength also increased.

While they are seemingly immortal, they are not eternal. For at the end of the universe, when the stars, suns, and galaxies are extinguished, the angels shall fade away as well. Furthermore, because angels were all created at the same time, their numbers are always the same. God does not create angels continuously. The quantity of angels that exist today are the same that existed at the moment of creation itself. Even though many angels perished during the War in Heaven, other angels were created to replace their numbers, however, these numbers did not exceed that of their former ranks. However, with the threat of the Outer Gods escaping their prisons, God had to create a system that creates angels (with or without a mind) without his interference.

With how powerful and useful angels can be, other creation deities and king of gods had and are able to create their own angels even if these angels are not as powerful as God's creations.

When an angel leaves their divine role for their own sake, they become fallen angels, beings with less divine power than other angels, but who are not evil, they were just removed from the heavenly armies and their wings became black as night. However, when the fallen angels totally surrender to the darkness and decide to become abandon all the moral laws of God and even humans to surrender to evil and do what they want, the angels undergo a transformation and become a demon, because they were rejected by God as his messenger and accepted by Ayin as one of her slaves. This effect also occurs with humans, but so far very few humans have become demons.

## Powers and Abilities

Angels, depending on their ranking in the hierarchy of heaven, have varying levels of superhuman capabilities.

* **Angel Physiology**: Though they are just as beholden to God as humans, angels were created superior to humans. As such, they are immensely powerful and wise, making them one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the entire supernatural universe.
	+ **Super Strength**: While possessing a human, the angel's presence within a vessel dramatically increases their vessel's strength to far surpass that of a human, vampire, werewolf, demon, and even their own kind. Their strength ho,wever, varies from angel to angel. Higher-ranking angels are stronger than low-ranking angels. Archangels far outclass other angels.
	+ **Super Stamina**: The various mystical energies flowing through Angels' bodies augment their musculature so that it generates virtually no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, Angels possess almost limitless superhuman stamina.
	+ **Super Speed**: Angels can travel on foot around the earth seven and a half times in one second. They can out-move vampires without effort.
	+ **Enhanced Senses**: Angels have heightened senses that allow them to see through darkness and perceive things that humans cannot.
	+ **Super Reflexes**: Angels possess extraordinary superhuman reflexes and vast reactionary speed.
	+ **Super Endurance**
	+ **Super Durability**: Angels in human form have a high tolerance for physical pain. They can withstand the pain of injuries that would kill a human simply through pain alone.
	+ **Super Agility**: Angels can cling to sheer surfaces and move with flawless grace, balance, and dexterity.
	+ **Immortality**: Angels are beyond age, illness, and most forms of physical harm in the mortal realm. They can, however, be harmed by other supernatural beings and strong mystics. Also, being exposed to the Ring of Hades can instantly knock out an angel.
	+ **Nigh Invulnerability**: To date, the only things capable of killing angels are Angel Blades, Holy Fire, a stronger angel, Death, God, Amara, and Leviathans. Archangels have even fewer weaknesses, as Michael wasn't killed by Holy Fire, and they can only be killed conventionally by Archangel Blades, as an Angel Blade was unable to kill one. It has been stated that Death's Scythe can kill angels.
	+ **Holy-Photokinesis**: Every angel (except most fallen angels) has this ability but its strength depends on the angel's current power and energy. The colour is different from angel to angel but this has no effect. This ability is thought to be an extension of the angel's true form or a sudden burst of power from inside. It is bright enough to burn a human's eyes out of their sockets if they witness it, and is powerful enough to kill weaker demons within seconds or banish them from their human hosts. The damage it does to more powerful demons depends on the angel's strength. There is a risk of it harming others around them and destroying the angel's surroundings.
	+ **Regeneration**: If an angel's vessel is damaged, it will repair itself nearly instantly unless the wound was caused by angelic weaponry.
	+ **Smiting** - Perhaps an angel's most versatile and terrifying weapon, smiting (sometimes known as the Killing Touch) 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. This is among an angel's most lethal abilities. By touching the head or face of any human, demon, or demon-related creature (vampires, werewolves, witches, etc.), the angel can flood the creature's body with its celestial light, destroying any demon and making the body uninhabitable to the souls of living or un-dead creatures. This practice is often called "smiting".
	+ **Astral Perception**: Angels are able to see almost all supernatural activity around them (he/she). Michael could even see Reapers, which remain invisible except to those they are seeking. They can also see demons and Hellhounds. They (he/she) can also sense any location, being, or object not protected by Enochian Symbols. This perception also extends to electromagnetic waves, and can decipher radio modulation signals.
	+ **Intangibility**: As spiritual beings, angels have no substance and can pass with ease through solid matter. They retain this power in their human form.
	+ **Holy-Pyrokinesis**: The power of fire is harnessed by all angels. Some other demons also have this ability but an angel's blazing flames matches the destructive force and heat of the sun.
	+ **Invisibility**: They can make themselves (or simply their wings) invisible to humans, although rare sensitives (four or five millions of them on Earth) may still see them (or the wings).
	+ Many angels can generate illusions and compel humans to obey their will and inflict pain to themselves. Powerful angels can even "switch off" humans for a limited amount of time, with potentially dangerous effects (such as miscarrying for pregnant women).
	+ **Healing**: By touching a person, angels can cure any bodily wound or disease.
	+ **Teleportation**: They can appear and disappear instantaneously into and out of thin air without occupying the space in between.
	+ **Apportation**: Angels were able to apport humans and monsters when they (he/she) had wings.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Angels can move objects without physical contact.
	+ **Telepathy**: Angels can communicate psychically as well as hear and read minds and thoughts and also possess a telepathic union among themselves called "angel radio" which they can access and block out at will. They can also experience the dreams and emotions of others.
	+ **Empathy**: Angels can sense another beings emotions and experiences related to pain.
	+ **Multilingualism**: Due to their age, angels are proficient in most, if not all, languages ever spoken on earth. Cassiel proven to be proficient in Latin and Ancient Canaanite, both dead languages, and Michael succeeded to quote a verse from the Koran in perfect Arabic.
	+ **Angelic Possession**: As disembodied spiritual beings, angels can inhabit the body of any living creature and use it as their own. However, they must have the vessels permission, basically, they need the vessels to say 'yes'.
	+ **Localization**: Angels can localize any human who is not protected by magic spells.
	+ **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.
	+ **Power Granting & Negating**: Powerful angels such as a seraph is capable of removing and granting psychic powers from human beings permanently or temporarily. However, the process is very painful and can leave the person mentally-damaged.
	+ **Shapeshifting** - Lucifer was able to take multiple forms while not in a vessel, and while in vessel, Gabriel could also do this; most fallen angels lose this ability therefore they can only possess humans.
	+ **Magic**: Angels can use this magical energy for various effects only a few which have been shown. Known abilities include the ability to project fire bolts, hape-shift. They can also summon celestial armor and burning swords at will. Being from a higher plane of existence, Angels have performed feats that can only be described as magical in nature. The ashes of an Angel's wing can bind a Heavenly soul to anything,c suh was the method used by Etrigan to bind Asmodel's soul to the Spectre.
	+ **Divine Weaponry**
	+ **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.
	+ **Voice Mimicry** - Angels can perfectly mimic the voice of mortals.
	+ **Celestial** **Hand-To-Hand Combatants**: The Angels have trained in and battled for Heaven since the dawn of creation.
	+ **Memory Manipulation**: Powerful angels are able to erase, restore, alter, and fabricate memories in the minds of humans.
	+ **Flight via Wings**: The Angels possess large bird-like wings that protrude from their (he/she) backs, who allow them (he/she) to fly at incredible speed, and defy the laws of gravity. It has been shown that angels can fly with their (he/she) wings on show, so they (he/she) may be symbolic.
	+ **Wing Projection**: Angels can project shadowy forms of their (he/she) wings onto surfaces at will. If one is killed by Angel Blades, its wings are burned onto the surface on which they (he/she) died.
