The True Archangels

Michael, a True Archangel

The **True Archangels** are the highest rank of Angels who are the closest to God's magnificent light.

## Overview

The True Archangels are the first angelic beings to be created by God. They are known as Heaven’s most fearsome wrath and the strongest angels. They receive the same honor from humans as the pagan gods. As the angels who stand before God Himself, they are called the "Rav-Malakhim" or "Malakhim-Panav”. Unlike most other angels, the True Archangels can directly contact the human world. Because of that, they are responsible for delivering messages from God to mankind. The most famous True Archangels, Michael and Gabriel, appear in the Bible. However, only Michael was called an Archangel.

Michael and Lucifer were created first, with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel in two. After the first five, many more True Archangels were created, with Sandalphon, Azrael, Raguel, Anael, Camael, Jophiel, Zadkiel, and Barachiel being the most famous. They treated each other as siblings and often interacted with God.

The True Archangels are known as the primordial angels as they were created before all other angels. They are endowed with incalculable power, holy light, and immense strength surpassing the likes of most beings in creation, including demons, deities, and all the other angels. They are described as Zariel and another angel as fierce and absolute and the only angels to have personally seen God.

According to the primordial deities, the first true archangels to ever be created (like Helel/Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel) known as the primordial true archangels, are at least equal or rival many of the lesser Outer Gods in power, so much that they managed to battle and destroy some them along with their Arcuthas brethren, that they strike fear and light in the hearts of their enemies at the time, and even at least rivals some of the primordial deities and cosmic entities, that they we're known and feared across creation.

Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Lucifer, and Uriel are the most well known among the True Archangels as well as the most powerful. In the aftermath of the War in Heaven, the Seven Archangels, which consisted of Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel, Camael, and Zadkiel, were formed with the purpose of countering the Seven Princes of Hell.

## History

The True Archangels were created some time after the Primeval Wars with the purpose of replacing the Arcuthas, who were corrupted by Therion. Then, God finally began to create the Megaverse and tasked the True Archangels and Primordials to protect it alongside him.

When the Great Old Ones made themselves known, God tasked the True Archangels with destroying them. Although the True Archangels successfully destroyed some of them, many turned out to be nothingness itself and therefore are unable to be destroyed. Therefore, the True Archangels imprisoned them. In the aftermath of their battles against the Great Old Ones, the True Archangels commanded the deities to watch over the Great Old Ones’ prisons to ensure that they would not rise again while they repair the damage caused by their battles against the eldritch beings.

## Quotes

*"The Archangels. The strongest, greatest, and most feared forces in all of Heaven. Neither Demon nor Angel can be equal to them. Their very arrival can cause Demons and monsters to flee in terror. They would even rush bravely to the Outer Gods. Believe me, you do not want them as your enemy." - Lucifer.*

*"They are God's personal and heavenly princes. And if that doesn't mean much to you - Imagine a being whose every heartbeat is a thousand Hiroshimas, whose gaze can strip flesh from bone. Whose blood is the universal solvent, an acid ten thousand times purer than any on Earth. If you can imagine that, you just about imagined a True Archangel." - Azazel.*

## Trivia

* The True Archangels, more or less, are similar to the Aeons of Gnosticism. Aeons are emanations or concepts that fragment themselves from the Singularity of the Bythos after eternities of contemplation/silence.
* There is a theory that all True Archangels in reality were once one Angel, and that the fusion of all of them would result in the one true Archangel, also known as The Child of God.
* As he did with all the Angels, Lucifer renamed the caste of the True Archangels, giving them the name **Luciferiel**, obviously in his own honor as he was the only True Archangel to rebel against God (Satanel does not count because no one knows his real caste).

**Omnipotence:** Omnipotence (from Latin: *Omni Potens*, lit. "all power") is a quality most commonly attributed to deities in monotheistic religions. The concept of omnipotence has been represented in a myriad of vastly different ways - Pantheism: where being omnipotent is synonymous with being one with everything, Agnosticism: which postulates that God and the omnipotence it possesses is incomprehensible, Monotheism: where there can only be omnipotent being, etc. - all of which have differing views on the attributes of omnipotence and hence their 'level of power'. Some philosophers claim that omnipotence can do that which is only confined within the realms of human logic, while others claim that omnipotence can do anything and everything, no matter how contradictory.

**Omicron:** The True Archangels are Omicrons: a supreme version of their kind who possess both the qualities and status of an alpha (self-exceeding species) and an omega (superseding host), making them the most powerful beings in the universe above both versions. They are inherently multipotent power users.

It allows True Archangels to burn or alter anything, even non-flammable, incorporeal, or conceptual things like time and nonexistence. They also have the ability to manipulate the underlying foundation of the concept of fire and concepts associated with it. Fire Immunity and/or Heat Immunity provides no protection from these flames as they will be completely bypassed due to its sheer potency and primeval nature. In many cases True Archangels will be able to override any other forms of Fire Manipulation as fire is the domain of the True Archangels.

They can master languages and subjects in mere days or even hours too.

**Pinnacle Condition:** The True Archangels possess a pinnacle condition; an ultimate mind that possesses incredibly perfected qualities that can transcend the physical and mental limitations and boundaries they may have had, being capable of anything related to their conditions.

**Absolute Condition:** The True Archangels have all their capabilities, attributes and aspects at a maximum and limitless level. At the most basic level, True Archangels have a supreme and absolute physical and mental condition, with absolutely nothing being able to surpass them in those attributes. For example, with their strength, they could lift multiverses or punch so hard reality is distorted. With their speed, they could travel infinite distances/execute infinite actions within a finite amount of time and go everywhere and everywhen faster than instantly. With their intellect, they could outsmart the smartest cosmic beings effortlessly.

**Perfection:** Perfection is a state, variously, of completeness, flawlessness, or supreme excellence. The True Archangels are in the condition, state and quality of being free from all possible forms of flaws or defects. If the True Archangels were not perfect from the beginning the traits and actions to achieving perfection must be flawless, the process of improving something until it is faultless or as close to faultless as possible, whether it be from magic, divinity, science etc. With perfection, there is nothing the True Archangels can't do or achieve including rejecting logic to improve themselves, despite having a flawless and limitless condition.
