The Powers

Immanuel, a Power

**Powers** are the sixth of the nine orders of angels, also said to be called **Authorities**.

## Description

They are academically driven and are concerned with ideology, philosophy, theology, religion, and documents pertaining to those studies. Powers are the brain trusts; a group of experts who serve as advisers and policy planners. They are also the warrior angels created to be completely loyal to God.

## Overview

It is said that they were the first order to be created. The Powers are the bearers of conscience and the keepers of history while also acting as warrior angels when the circumstances arise. They are also said to keep watch over the Axis Mundi thereby policing the passages that connect Heaven and Earth.

Due to being warrior angels, they are often thought as the choir most responsible for thwarting Hell's machinations, basically being the force that counteract the demons who relentlessly endeavor to pull the world into darkness. As such they are the choir that make up the majority of the Heavenly Host, defending creation from evil and maintaining order and equilibrium.

Some believe that no Power has ever fallen from grace, but another theory states that Satan was the Chief of the Powers before he fell. Their duty is to oversee the distribution of power among humankind, hence their name.

## Common Powers and Abilities

**Angel Manipulation:** The Powers can create, manipulate, and destroy angels. They can use angels to perform all kinds of tasks.

**Angelology Mastery:** The Powers, either innately or through training, is a master of angelology, the study of angels. They research the behavior, abilities, weaknesses, and anatomy of angels to pursue the documentation and categorization of them.

**Dermal Armor:** The Powers have or can generate an innate armor as a part of their body, which is resistant to attacks, harm or pain, and temperature extremes. The armor varies from obvious, physical defenses, such as scales, thick skin/fur, natural shield, armor or shell, in-organic skin, etc, to bone-nodules below the skin, particularly wide/sturdy rib cage, blubber, or simply dense muscle.

**Divine Force Manipulation:** The Powers have control of anything that is divine. They are able to manipulate divine objects and relics that are connected to the gods or divine power. With this, the Powers are completely considered worthy of spiritual respect, allowing them to achieve feats that are impossible to be reached by mere mortals.

**Hybrid Physiology:** The Powers possess the genetic traits and abilities of two or more different species.

**Transcendent Hybrid Physiology:** This power grants the Powers great levels of power by combining two or more transcendent dna of two or more species possibly including a race of gods. Since the Powers are transcendent hybrid beings, the Powers can control the abilities/capabilities/powers of the species/race/creatures they transcend but on a godly level. Theoretically, being a extraordinary powerful cyborg could also be considered as a transcendent hybrid, of technology and organic material.

**Natural Weaponry:** The Powers possess some form of natural weaponry, including claws, fangs, horns, beaks, clubbed tails, etc., and knows how to use them.

**Physics Manipulation:** The Powers can create, shape, and manipulate the Laws of Physics, everything dealing with matter and its motion and behavior through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force, including momentum, friction, vectors, inertia, etc. They could, for example, change the direction a ball moves and how fast it travels.

**Psychic Entity Physiology:** The Powers "body" is formed from psionic forces and materialized thought making them immune to all forms of physical attacks. Due to being a psychic entity, the Powers would have psionic powers that would appear limitless maybe even god-like.

**Quantum Manipulation:** The Powers can manipulate quantum physics, a branch of physics that explains the behavior of matter and its interactions with energy on a microscopic scale. The interactions in this scale are mostly unpredictable, as particles interact differently in contrast to macroscopic material due to the complexity of quantum mechanics and the universe's fundamental interactions occurring at this level.

**Science Intuition:** The Powers, either innately or through training, are masters of the field of science and all their variant studies, allowing them to intuitively understand scientific information like no other and learn and master any scientific phenomenon with ease.

**Superpower Manipulation:** The Powers can create, manipulate, remove, change, etc., the supernatural energies/properties in all beings that give them their powers, including themselves, thus allowing every variation of superpowers and manipulative ability.

**Transformation:** The Powers can morph into superior, more powerful versions of oneself. At times, the appearance of such forms is merely cosmetic, while in others, the Powers bodies are completely altered.

**Telekinesis:** Telekinesis (from Greek: τηλε- "far off" and κίνηση "movement") is the ability to influence/control/manipulate matter or another aspect of a physical system with the ‘mind’ or through other non-physical means. Commonly, the most fundamental trait is to move or otherwise interact with objects (or to generate and apply physical force on a target, or potentially, an area) both from a distance and without physical contact.

**Omni-Manipulation:** The Powers can manipulate anything and everything. This is can be physical (matter, energy, the space-time fabric, etc.); or metaphysical (soul, mind, life, death, logic, aspects of reality, and even concepts). The Powers have complete control and precision over absolutely everything and whatever is beyond. They can manipulate the totality of all things to the highest degree; there is nothing imaginable and unimaginable that the Powers cannot perfectly manipulate.

**Telepathy:** The Powers have telepathy, the ability to receive and transmit information with one’s mind without physical interaction. However, many other mind-based abilities fall under telepathy due to those powers overlapping with the core concept of telepathy, allowing a telepath to interact with their own mind and the minds of others in a variety of ways. Some of the more common abilities also considered telepathy would be perceiving the thoughts of others and detecting the presences of other minds through extrasensory means. The Powers can influence or completely control the minds of their targets and manipulate their thoughts, memories and emotions at will. Potentially, they even control Psychic energy from their telepathic abilities, strengthening their previous powers and maybe even gaining new ones.

**Teleportation:** The Powers can teleport; moving instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between or transfer matter (beings/objects, including themselves) or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. This can be achieved by various means, including causing the atoms/molecules to travel at light-speed, warping the space, or use quantum superposition, in which the Powers teleport by spatially rearranging the subatomic contents of a system.

**Meta Teleportation:** The Powers can teleport absolutely *anything* to literally *anywhere*: any place and time they desire, including physical locations such as: in a locked room, in Space, in Heaven, or in Hell, as well as metaphysical places such as: inside a dream, inside a heart, inside thoughts, and even inside people or yourself.
