Angels

**Angels** are robotic-servants created by Humanity, designed to maintain and defend the various Habitats placed around Narus. Various Angel varients exist, with each being assigned to a specific task. The Angels are revered by followers of Precursorism as "holy attendants of the Precursors", and are treated as holy relics to their religion. However outside of Precursorism, Angels are seen in a generally negative light due to their aggressive nature towards those that do not worship Humanity.

The exact number of Angels roaming Narus isn't known, as the codices of Habitats do not catalouge them. Desecrated wrecks of Angels are commonly found, implying that they once roamed the planet in greater numbers.

## Types

### Seraph

Seraphs are the highest ranked of the Angels. They were created by Humanity to directly oversee the opening of the Habitats and their subsequent awakening. Because of their duty, Seraphs possess the highest intelligence of the Angels. Very few Seraphs were built, and present-day only two are known to still be active: Hosanna, currently in service of Abdiel, and Samson, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Seraphs are silver in colour and made of metal, composed of a main body which contains its "eye" as well as two "wings". Their main body is slender, with a sharp point at both the top and bottom of it. The wings don't actually enable them to fly, with that instead coming from a hole at the bottom of its main body. Wings are not attached to the body, and instead hover in place through the use of some kind of field. The outside edge of the wings is jagged, given the appearance of feathers. Their main eye is their only weapon, capable of firing a castlight beam. Seraphs are capable of flight at quick speeds, and constantly hover above the ground at about 4ft.

### Cherub

While the Seraph's were made to oversee the openings of the Habitats, the Cherub were made to protect them. As they were designed purely to kill, what a Cherub has in firepower it lacks in intelligence. One Cherub, Eliakim, attacked Leosians in the Awakening Era and was ultimately destroyed by the Chasans while protecting Habitat 000.

Cherubs are similar to Seraphs in appearance, only substantially larger. Eliakim was said to be the size of around 6 Leosians (~36ft), and the measuring of other Cherub wrecks corroborate this. Their main body is smaller, and their wings float above it as oppose to beside it. Cherubs have a castlight beam in the centre of their body, and smaller weapons on their wings. Their "eye" is shielded by two small retractable wings when in combat. Cherubs are capable of slow, inaccurate flight, and usually hover above the ground at around 8ft. When not in combat, Cherubs burrow under the ground. When emerging they emit a loud horn.

### Thrones

Thrones were made as knowledge keepers for each Habitat, knowing its inner workings, the history of its region, and what species it carries, among other subjects. Thrones were what informed the folk of Narus about Humanity, and were instrumental in the adaptation of their technology as well as their rapid intellectual evolution. As they were designed to self-destruct a set amount of time after their Habitats activation, all Thrones have likely been destroyed.

Thrones are composed of a central "eye" which is assumed to hold their knowledge. The eye is surrounded by 3 wheels, which constantly rotate above and around each other. They act to both protect the Throne, and assist it in moving.

### Virtues

Some decades prior to the Habitats opening, Virtues were released en masse to prepare Narus for Human resettlement. Long since shut down, the wrecks of Virtues are a common sight across the planet.

Virtues are quite small compared to other Angels, averaging about 4ft in length. Virtues are single structured, composed of two sharp rear "wings" and a central, long body.

### Archangels

Archangels are the primary combat robot built by Humanity. Released alongside the Virtues, Archangels were built to protect Humanity from the wild once they were released. Present-day, a large number of Archangels roam the areas around Habitats, attacking all on site. Archangels guarding opened Habitats were typically shutdown by Thrones, allowing the released folk to peacefully leave the area.

Archangels have a humanoid shape in their upper body. Their lower body merges into a point, which allows them to hover. Their head is oval shaped, but has no facial features and is instead flat. The top of their head is cut off, with a ring of Human script constantly rotating and hovering above it. Attempts to translate it have failed, as the castlight that emits it shuts off when the Archangel is killed.
