The Malakh

The **Malakh** or **Mal'akh** (literally **Messenger**) in Hebrew, aka **Malakhins**, are the studious angels of Heaven, responsible for studying the cosmos and the origin of things. They are the lowest class of Angels, being at the very bottom of the hierarchy due to their extremely low amount of power, which doesn't mean they should be underestimated, as their knowledge and intelligence makes them incredibly dangerous and threatening.

## Overview

The term "mal'akh," which translates to "messenger," is used in the Old Testament to refer to beings who act as messengers of God. These beings are depicted differently in the Bible compared to how they are often portrayed in art and media.

In the biblical accounts, malakhim (plural of mal'akh) do not possess wings and typically have the appearance of ordinary humans, although they are more awe-inspiring and impressive than regular humans. When a malakh interacts with humanity, they often shroud themselves in cloaks and only reveal themselves to individuals chosen by God. Their presence is so overwhelming that it often elicits intense reactions in humans, including shock, fear, and astonishment.

Despite their role as messengers, malakhim are described as powerful and resolute beings in the Old Testament. Two notable instances highlight their strength: one malakh was responsible for striking down 70,000 Israelites, and another singlehandedly killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. These accounts emphasize that malakhim are not to be underestimated, and they can carry out significant actions on behalf of God when necessary.

## Description

To record the flow of the Megaverse and the history of Creation, God created the Malakhs, studious and reclusive angels who, within their libraries, would keep sacred manuscripts and notes. They were given the Sixth Heaven, Daqua. They rarely get involved with the other choir and almost never leave the Sixth Heaven, much less the exercise of their duties.

Because of their impartial and reserved character, they hardly come into conflict with other choirs and have superior motivations, which keep them away from politics and wars. They also spend most of their time in the Celestial Library, studying the world and re-studying the cosmos.

### Strains

The choir is divided into three strains, or classes, which vary among their functions. They are:

* **Scholars**: Always studying the Megaverse and the human race, secluded in their sacred libraries. Described as introspective and perfectionists.
* **Scribes**: Responsible for translating the Scholars' notes, immortalizing them in beautiful words.
* **Kãla**: Malakhs archaeologists, this strain roams space seeking information from places unexplored by angels.

## Known Malakh

## Quotes

*"Mal'akh are the lowest-class of angels in the angelic hierarchy, barely ranked higher than a Guardian Angel or even an angelic spirit. They mainly serve as servants and/or assistants for the higher-ranked angels, as well as the cannon-folders for the Heavenly Host. Despite this, they are still some of the more powerful supernatural beings, capable of phenomenal feats some of us can barely achieve." - Unknown.*

Sometimes these forms angels take are minor minor alternations from there lower or hidden in forms, merely gaining holy light, a halo, aura and/or the wings of an angel.

**Angelic Wings:** The Malakh have/or possess the ability to manifest or generate two or multiple pairs of powerful wings on themselves at will as a natural feature of the divine/celestial species. Flight is an angel's wing's main function; however, it is not their only purpose as they also enable angels to teleport and travel to other planes and dimensions, possess healing and magical powers, aid in combat and are said to contain their angelic powers and immortality. So, if their wings were removed, they could be rendered a mortal human in certain worlds/fantasies. Angel wings, depending on the situation, can also be regenerated if removed. This, however, varies per fantasy world and mythology itself.

**Feather Wing Manifestation:** The Malakh have or can form feathered wings and use them from transportation to offensive and defensive purposes.

**Angelic Force Manipulation:** The Malakh with this power possess and are able to use strong angelic power. This ability not only grants the Malakh great strength, abilities, and control over numerous variations of holy energies, but also allows them to overwhelm weaker angels as well as rival that of powerful sacred entities.

**Divine Force Manipulation:** The Malakh 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 Malakh are completely considered worthy of spiritual respect, allowing them to achieve feats that are impossible to be reached by mere mortals.

**Demonic Slayer:** The Malakh can kill demons/demonic entities of any form, being able to go toe-to-toe with even the strongest of demons and gain resistance to their demonic powers and demonic corrupting effects.

**Enhanced Condition:** The Malakh possess all their capabilities, attributes and aspects at an advanced level, beyond that of the peak members of their own species. This means the Principalities aspects (E.g., beauty, charisma, character and physique) attributes (E.g., physical and mental condition) as well as capabilities (E.g., potential, feats, skills and abilities, be it natural or supernatural) would be beyond that of standard individuals.

**Super-Condition:** The Malakh possess supernatural capabilities, attributes and aspects that are beyond what is naturally possible. With their condition alone, they can dwarf most beings in their respective universe, being virtually supreme in their existential aspects and attributes. With their superhuman physique, they can move buildings, run at the speed of light, survive nuclear explosions unscathed, and remain active for days to weeks untired. With their mind, they can amass knowledge and information about everything, allowing them to invent and create things beyond the grasps of regular humans. They can master languages and subjects in mere days or even hours too.

**Semi-Immortality:** The Malakh with this ability never age, and as a result, they stay young forever or at least never suffer the ravages of aging. Because of this, the Malakh will always be at their physical prime. The Malakh will also be immune to aging abilities, such as Age Acceleration or Reversal.

**Immortality:** The Malakh possess immortality, a state where one has eternal life and is undying. They never age, are completely self-sustaining, free from all bodily necessities, and can survive virtually any kind of harm, remaining immune to all forms of decay. Any damage done to the Malakh would either be regenerated or simply remain non-fatal. As a byproduct of having everlasting life, the Malakh may have an infinite reservoir of life energy that fuels the dynamic system of their immortality.
