### Offspring

Unnamed Daughter

**Barachiel** is the True Archangel of Lightning, Thunder and Blessings as well as being one of the members of the Seven Archangels.

## Overview

Barachiel is the prince of the guardian angels. As the prince of the guardian angels, he is prayed for all the benefits a guardian angel can provide. God assigned him to watch over and assist the converts, who are called the adopted children of God, with their lives.

Barachiel is also seen to visit Earth on many occasions along with Sandalphon with or without God's express permission.

## Appearance

Barachiel's main appearance is very similar to and almost identical to that of Michael just with longer hair. When Barachiel is in Heaven, he is seen wearing a silver armour like outfit, with his sword of lightning and staff, with the sword beings able to turn into a pen whenever he wants when on earth.

## Personality

Barachiel is seen as an immensely friendly but cold angel who grudgingly follows Michael's and God's orders. He is also seen to bear some respect towards Jesus Christ while it is only slightly. He is seen to deeply care and be extremely overprotective towards Uriel and Jophiel, as he loves them both deeply. Barachiel is seen to be very friendly and respectful towards Ophis, and has a similar way of describing people. They describe people in a sometimes rude and honest way. He is even more brutally honest to people that have been complete assholes towards him and/or someone he cares about. He also can’t stand when people enrage him just for the fun of it and when they talk bad about his siblings and God.

The only part of Barachiel that is remotely similar to that of the Michael and Raphael is that Barachiel's anger is as swift as Michael's and he doesn't tolerate insubordination and people who don't show him respect. He keeps his promises that he makes with humans, as he doesn't outright hate them but sees them as prideful, arrogant, and greedy beings created by his father God. He protects the humans that he does care for and if anyone was to ever attack, rape, insult, bully, etc they would face his wrath and be done for, as they would be completely obliterated with no trace of them left.

Barachiel's anger is extremely merciless towards evil, wicked, filthy, scum, and unhonorable people, as shown when Barachiel outright stated that he will show no mercy to anyone who shows disturbing, inappropriate, lewd, sexual or blasphemous acts just to obtained their selfish and worthless needs. His anger is also quick, yet fierce and frightening, while maintaining his calm and level-headed composure. He visibly shows a strong disdain and hate towards malevolent people, especially those who tend to manipulates others for their own selfish gains. He also hates when people falsely use "justice" to carry out hypocritical unjustified acts themselves.

## Powers and Abilities

As the Archangel of Lightning, Thunder and Blessings, Barachiel is seen to be slightly less powerful then Michael, almost like Khaos and God difference. Barachiel as an Archangel is seen to make even the deadliest and blood-thirstiest demons and monsters, to shiver in fear, terror, and uneasiness with just his presence alone. Barachiel is also seen to be the second fastest archangel, being equal to Michael and second only to Gabriel as he uses lightning level speed to move around. Barachiel has also been seen to be able to wield the sword of Michael on rare occasions, however, he is only seen doing so if Michael allows him to.

Barachiel's power is so great that he can completely obliterate a Great Old One in the blink of an eye. Gabriel himself stated that Barachiel power is roughly equal to that of Michael himself, or even stronger than that of Michael. It is stated by Lucifer that Barachiel anger is so terrifying that most if not all of Heaven do their absolute best to keep Jophiel with Barachiel than keeping him alone.

Barachiel possesses the to be able to perform galactic levels feats of strength.
