Seraphim

**Seraphim** are a higher class of angel, above normal angels, but lower in status than archangels. Their exact role in Heaven is unclear.

## Background

Seraphim are angels that possess great strength and abilities. Seraphim can easily smite lower demons, with minimal effort, whereas a regular angel required far more focus to do so.

In Lore, Seraphim also possess four large wings that are said to hide themselves. In lore, it is said no human was able to see what a Seraph looked like or if they did they didn't live to tell the tale.

## Powers and Abilities

As a stronger class of angels, Seraphim innately possess all the standard powers and more abilities than regular angels, even at a higher level. Unlike lower angels, they don't lose any of their powers after they are cut off from Heaven. Like most of the angels, their strength and abilities were highly affected by Metatron's spell.

* **Angelic Possession** - A seraph requires a vessel to manifest physically on Earth. Like all angels, they must bear their consent.
* **Immortality** - A seraph, like all angels, by nature, can't die by any natural means of death. They are impervious to bullets, knives, bombs, and any other conventional human ways of killing.
* **Super Stamina** - A seraph never tires or gets fatigued. A seraph does not require food, sleep, or oxygen.
* **Super Strength** - As a higher class of angel endowed with greater strength, seraphs are extremely strong. They can lift at least 1 ton, and they can easily overpower and destroy most beings. However, their strength is not a match for an archangel. A Seraphs strength is sufficient enough to challenge multiple regular angels in a fight.
* **Biokinesis** - A seraph is able to cure a human turning into a monster.
* **Telepathy** - A seraph can easily read the minds of humans.
* **Pyrokinesis** - A seraph can generate and manipulate fire.
* **Healing** - A seraph can heal others from severe wounds. However, some things are beyond their power to heal.
* **Resurrection** - A seraph can bring back the dead.
* **Invisibility** - A seraph can become invisible to humans.
* **Smiting** - As all angels, a seraph is able to burn out the eyes of humans, monsters, and demons, killing them.
* **Regeneration** - Like all angels, Seraphs can heal from injuries inflicted upon them. However, wounds caused by angelic weapons take longer to heal. They can't heal the damage inflicted by Lance of Michael.
* **Reality Warping** - A seraph possesses reality warping abilities.
* **Mental Manipulation** - A seraph can manipulate, erase or restore a person's perceptions and memories of events.
* **Power Negation** - A seraph is capable of removing powers from empowered humans, however, it can leave them mentally damaged to do so and is very painful to the individual losing the power.
* **Astral Projection** - Like other angels, Seraphim can display their wings in a show of intimidation.

### Former Powers

* **Apporting** - A seraph could teleport a human or monster before they lost their wings.
* **Chronokinesis** - A seraph can travel through time, with greater ease than lower angels, and they are also able to send others either forward or backwards through time, with the same ease. They can send others through time without having to travel with them as well. They can also bend (freezing and speeding up) the time.
* **Teleportation** - A seraph can teleport from one place to another instantly.

## Weaknesses

* **Primordial Entities** - Death can kill a seraph, even when one was enhanced by millions of souls. God, the creator of all angels, can kill and resurrect them at will, as well as block their powers or upgrading their powers. The Darkness has easily killed angels and could even kill archangels like Lucifer as she easily tortured him and stopped his powers before he was saved.
* **Higher Angels** - An Archangel can easily kill a seraph.
* **Angel Blades** - An angel blade is able to kill a seraph.
	+ **Angel-killing bullets** - A bullet made by melting one or more angel blades could seriously injure a seraph or kill them if they were shot fatally.
* **Angel banishing sigil** - When activated, such a mark can temporarily banish a seraph. If the seraph is wounded, it might kill the seraph.
* **Leviathans** - Being older than angels in general, Leviathans are able to possess, kill, and prevent seraphs from using their abilities, and are physically stronger as they have overpowered angels in all fights.
* **Common Angelic Weaknesses** - A seraph is vulnerable against Holy Oil, Heaven's weapons, etc.
* **Lance of Michael** - It fatally poisons any angel stabbed with it, including a seraph, as it was designed by Michael to kill his brother Lucifer, the second most powerful archangel.
* **Nephilim** - A Nephilim can grow stronger than an angel.

## Trivia

* In lore, Seraphs are a type of Angel that are known for continually worshiping and praising God, which they do day and night. Their form is burning and fiery and has six enormous feathered wings, two covering their face, and two covering their feet, and two with which they fly. Seraphs are claimed to be so powerful and holy, that any human that looks upon them in their true form will die. Unlike other angels in Christian lore, seraphs have the ability to purify sin, control and manipulate fire, light, and inflame human emotions and thoughts. Even inflame God's holy love on to a human as well. Along with the Cherubim (which have four faces - ox, lion, eagle and man - and four wings and also cow's feet) and Ophanim/Thrones (celestial wheels with inner wheels covered in eyes and sometimes wings), the Seraphim typically represent the highest sphere of Angels in Christian lore, and it should be noted that although 'Archangel' is the second to lowest rank, Satan/Lucifer has been named as a Cherub and a Chief Seraph in some texts. Judaism, by contrast, ranks Seraphim as fifth in the angelic hierarchy. The literature describes them as beings with six wings: two to cover their face with, two to cover their legs with and two to fly with.
