Israfil

Siblings: The True Archangels

**Isrāfīl**, in Islam, the archangel who will blow the trumpet from the holy rock in Jerusalem to announce the Day of Resurrection. The trumpet is constantly poised at his lips, ready to be blown when God so orders.

Though not mentioned in the Qurʾān, Isrāfīl is known from Hadith and *tafsīr* literature. He is usually conceived as having a huge hairy body that is covered with mouths and tongues and that reaches from the seventh heaven to the throne of God. One wing protects his body, another shields him from God, while the other two extend east and west. He is overcome by sorrow and tears three times every day and every night at the sight of hell. It is said that Isrāfīl tutored Muhammad for three years in the duties of a prophet before he could receive the Qurʾān. Isrāfīl has no clear counterpart in the Judeo-Christian tradition, though some scholars have drawn connections to Raphael, Uriel, or Seraphiel.

## Powers and Abilities

**Absolute Invulnerability:** Israfil with this power is immune to any/all kinds of damage, be it physical, spiritual, psychic, or even conceptual giving them a complete and perfect form of infinite defense. Israfil is also completely immune to Damage Manipulation on an unrestricted basis since no kind of damage would even affect them.

**Air Manipulation:** Israfil can create, shape and manipulate air, the common name given to the layer of atmospheric gases and various compounds (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity, and possibly wind movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and include breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, tempests, and hurricanes.

**Aura Manipulation:** Israfil can create, shape and manipulate aura, a form of life-force that exists as an invisible etheric phenomenon/emanation produced by and surrounding a person or object.

**Causality Manipulation:** Israfil can manipulate causality, the relationship between causes and effects, allowing them to decide what happens and what doesn't, when and how. There is no need for a "why" however, as the why of something is determined by causality itself, which is at Israfil's command, making it one of the few powers that reasonably don't need a reason.

**Divine-Angelic Physiology:** As an archetype, an angelic god is a character that possesses the powers of both gods and Angels. This type of being can either be born from a union between a god and Angel, be a fusion between a god and Angel, or is an Angel/God that somehow possesses angelic/divine powers.

**Divine Metal Manipulation:** Israfil can create, shape and manipulate holy divine metal that's highly effective against the supernatural, such as Demons and/or Angels. The effectiveness, in question, can range from trapping and/or immobilizing to outright banishing or killing supernatural threats. Furthermore, divine metal itself is nigh-invulnerable by normal means like; melting, corrosion, etc, and may have other properties and abilities, such as healing, Resurrection, summoning Angels and/or spirits of the deceased from Heaven to the material plane.

**Flawless Indestructibility:** Israfil with this power is absolutely immune to any/all kinds of harm, having no physical, spiritual, and mental weaknesses, giving them a complete and perfect immunity to everything that can harm or affect them. To give an illustration, Israfil is immune to any kind of destruction, including from True Oblivion and Total End. They are unaffected by space-time alteration of any caliber and will always remain in perfect condition. Their indestructibility transcends normal physical limitations and boundaries to metaphysical scales becoming independent from reasoning and understanding to such a great point that they can be completely independent of paradoxes, logic, and predeterminism of any kind, essentially making them absolutely immune to anything and everything.

**Light Manipulation:** Israfil can create, shape and manipulate visible light, commonly referred to as light, is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

**Love Inducement:** Israfil can induce love into others, including the love for Israfil or love for another person. Effects will vary depending on Israfil's skill and power: those subjected to this ability may develop a strong infatuation for somebody but will remain in control of themselves, or they may feel so much love for somebody that they have an intense desire to make them happy, becoming completely submissive to them. The effect is usually instant, but in some cases it may slowly take effect the more the victim meets Israfil/another.

**Music Embodiment:** Israfil becomes a physical manifestation or personification of music. As a result, Israfil has limitless control over it. They might also be an embodiment of a specific song and it's lyrics.

**Nigh-Omniscience:** Israfil knows almost everything bar certain details, or is limited in some other way, such as being able to see one timeline or universe or have just small patches of information that are missing or blocked out. More simply, they may be in possession of such a vast reserve of knowledge that they can be regarded as "practically omniscient."

**Omnifarious:** Israfil has complete and absolute control over their own *physical* being, allowing them to manipulate their shape, density, size, quantity or to be solid, liquid, gaseous, or pure energy. They can spread their form into smaller segments that keep their ability to transform and recombine as they wish. Israfil can take any form that they can imagine, independently from the laws of physics and logic.

**Omni-Healing:** Israfil can heal/restore anything/everything to optimal condition/health, including people, objects/locations, environments, abilities/powers, defensive powers, souls, worlds, natural forces/concepts etc.

**Restoration Embodiment:** Israfil becomes the living embodiment of restoration and gains the ability to feed off of the healing and restoration of everything in existence. Israfil possesses all the powers of healing, repairing, restoration, resurrection, curing, etc. Israfil becomes stronger when anything is returned to normal.

**Resurrection:** Israfil can bring oneself and others back to life. While this power is similar to necromancy in that it raises the dead, resurrection is different in that it fully restores a creature's body, mind, *and* soul to full health.

**Sephirot Empowerment:** Israfil gains access to the various emanations of the Sephirot of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, allowing them to tap into the primal, undiluted forces of creation and the divine.
