Celestial Prince

Sigil of the Seven Princes

### Summary

The first creations of God. They are entities of nigh-absolute authority, with power over the entirety of Creation and beyond.

The **Celestial Princes**, also known as the **Seven Princes**, are the first creations of the Abrahamic God.

They are exceptionally powerful primordial entities who are only beneath their Creator in terms of powers, possessing nigh-absolute authority over both existence and nonexistence.

## Summary

The Celestial Princes are the most ancient and powerful Angels created by God before the [Birth of Existence] and the [Dawn of Creation], known for being the primordial personifications and embodiments of different forces/aspects of existence.

It is said that when they were born, their sheer brilliance created the **Ein Sof** - The Primordial World which is the In-Between Realm of Everything and Nothing - from the ancient emptiness that existed before their creation. Other than that, no one truly knows their history or origins, about where, when, or how they came to be, as they have been in existence for eons before the concepts of "history" or "information" came into existence.

## Appearance

Their corporeal forms may vary from one Prince to another, as they are mere the appearance they had chosen on a whim. Because of this, their appearance often varies from one to another. Regardless, no matter what form they take, they always possess a supernatural beauty exceptionally greater than even the most beautiful of gods, capable of capturing the hearts and minds of all those who look upon them disregarding their gender, sexual orientation, and relationship.

## Characteristics

The Celestial Princes are primordial entities who exist in a stage beyond comprehension, encompassing all the aspects, concepts, elements, and ideas that they embody. Despite this, even if everything and anything associated with the forces they embody are completely destroyed beyond nonexistence, they still possess their all-power and nigh-omnipotent powers. This is because these forces originated from *them*, not the opposite, and they can simply recreate or even create a new aspect, concept, or primordial force to embody as easy as breathing.

Due to their immense powers, they have been forbidden by God to appear in the four worlds of Creation in their true forms, prompting them to create corporeal forms of themselves using an infinitesimal portion of their power. Because of this, they aren't able to access their full powers while in their corporeal form, and thus often appear as mere shadows of their true selves, possessing only a microscopic portion of around 1/1000100 of what they estimated to be "a single atom in comparison to the entirety of infinity".

They are powerful beyond the comprehension of gods, monsters, and humans alike. They possess absolute divine authorities, and raw, infinite and limitless powers over the numerous domains of both existence and nonexistence. Even their weakest powers are infinitely powerful beyond the imagination of any being. Because of this, the Progenitors and Outer Gods who know of their existence have come to call them the "Absolute Powers" as there is virtually no way to defeat a Celestial Prince without the assistance of other Princes.

According to Gautama Buddha, no matter how many qualitative steps one takes, one can never possibly reach their level of existence even if they are in their weakest of moment, even if they spend an eternity trying to. They can alter and destroy any and all matter at a quantum scale, manipulating their given concepts and laws which govern over all of reality and beyond, as well as reform even if they suffer absolute conceptual death. And in addition to this, they are also capable of birthing entire multiverses for their own personal entertainment, as well as erasing them effortlessly when they get bored.

Despite their nigh-omnipotent powers and authority, they aren't undefeatable or unkillable, though doing so is an futile attempt as they are able to instantly regenerate their physical body back into its prime, though there is a single exception to this rule: In the year 33 AD, the Celestial Prince Azrael was killed by one of her fellow Princes, whose identity still remained unknown. Her "death" was what ignited the Great War between the Three Factions, causing an all-out war between the groups led by the Princes: Heaven, Purgatory, and the Underworld.

## Trivia

* The Celestial Princes are based on the *Endless* from DC Vertigo.
* They are, more or less, similar to the Aeons of Gnosticism.
	+ Aeons are emanations or concepts that fragment themselves from the Singularity of Monad after eternities of contemplation/silence.
* Despite being known as Angels, they are more similar to angelic creatures rather than actual Angels.
* All of the Celestial Princes' personal realms are named after a concept associated with their primordial domains.
	+ **Diegesis** (διήγησις, from διηγεῖσθαι, "to narrate") is a style of fiction storytelling in which the narrator *tells* the story, presenting the actions (and sometimes thoughts) of the characters to the readers or audience.
	+ **Apatheia** (ἀπάθεια, from *a-* "without" and *pathos* "suffering" or "passion") refers to a state of mind in which one is not disturbed by the passions, and is best translated by the word equanimity rather than indifference.
	+ **Hylemorphes**, or **Hylemorphism** (from the Greek words ὕλη *hyle*, "wood, matter", and μορφή, *morphē*, "form"), is an Aristotelian philosophical view in which every natural body consists of two intrinsic principles, one potential, namely, primary matter, and one actual, namely, substantial form.
	+ **Entelecheia** (ἐντελέχεια, from ἐντελής, *entelḗs*, "complete, full, accomplished", and ἔχειν, *ékhein*, “have, hold”) is an Aristotelian term meaning a kind of completeness, whereas "the end and completion of any genuine being is its being-at-work". The *entelecheia* is a continuous being-at-work when something is doing its complete "work".
	+ **Anamnesis** (ἀνάμνησις, "reminiscence", or "memorial sacrifice") has two different meaning:
		1. A philosophical idea developed by Plato, in which humans possess innate knowledge (perhaps acquired before birth) and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge from within.
		2. A liturgical statement in which the Church refers to the memorial character of the Eucharist or to the Passion, Resurrection and Ascension of Christ. It is a key concept in the liturgical theology: in worship the faithful recall God's saving deeds.
	+ **Metempsychosis** (μετεμψύχωσις), in philosophy, refers to transmigration of the soul, especially its reincarnation after death. It is similar in nature to the Kabbalistic concept of Gilgul and the concept of the *Saṃsāra* in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism.
	+ **Ataraxia** (ἀταραξία, "imperturbability", "equanimity", or "tranquility") is a philosophical term for a lucid state of robust equanimity characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry.
		- In non-philosophical usage, the term was used to describe the ideal mental state for soldiers entering battle.
