Angels are entities of the light, created by God and Goddess as their children. Their task is to watch over humanity and guide them, as well as protecting them from outside threats. They are responsible of guarding Heaven and the righteous human souls that inhabit there.

Angels by far are one of the most powerful entities in existence with only certain species or individuals being able to outmatch them.

## Characteristics

Angels are among one of the strongest supernatural species in existence as the are warriors of god and safeguard his creation, as well as being in charge of being caretakers of the human souls that occupy in Heaven. Because of this they are superior than mortal being in power and intelligence.

While Angels do appear as human beings, they can blend in by concealing their feathered wings back into their body. Their eyes can also glow bright in different colors. This helps differentiate them from humans, however it reveals that their human appearance is merely a disguise or a way of protection of not walking the Earth in their true visage, which can be harmful for mortal beings except for those who are angelic-half-breeds, carrying their blood, or special individuals selected by Heaven such as prophets.

The true visage of an angel stands up to a height from a skyscraper to a mountain. Common angels actually reach tall as a skyscraper while those of higher ranks of the Celestial Hierarchy are big as mountains. Archangels may appear big as mountains as well but in reality they alter their size to walk the planet as they true maximum size are big as planets.Many description of an angels differs from each other for instance Archangels or Seraphim have six wings, while Cherubim have four and the rest only have a single pair of wings. The basic trait is that they all have two animal heads on their shoulders that are known for being their sacred animals. They're bodies are skeletal and come in a variety of colors. They have a glowing orb within their rib cage that is in the same color as their body and wings.

Cassiel described angels as emotionless and committed beings that will fulfill their task no matter what the cost. They lack the comprehension of understanding free will, meaning they act like they do not have a choice and follow "God's Will", something which they cannot assume as no angel has no idea what he truly wants or needs. While angels appear as robotic, those like Cassiel, Anael, a few certain common angels, Higher Angels, and Archangels display emotions and feelings, capable of feeling happiness, anger, and sadness. It may be due of spending much closer to humanity than lower angels so they can rebel and think for themselves, however Cassiel is the one that rebels than any of her siblings as she was willingly refuse to kill a Nephilim child and disobey a direct order from a supervisor.
