Angels and demons

Angels and demons are one of the metaphysical beings that are created directly by a God or a Disciple. The creators of these beings are the God of Good and his corresponding Disciples for the angels and the God of Evil and his corresponding Disciples for the demons.

## Appearance

Angels and demons typically have one or more pair of "wings" behind them. Angels have a glowing halo on their heads while demons have horns sprouting on their heads.

## Abilities

All abilities mentioned here are universal towards angels and demons. For specific abilities, see Types.

### Metaphysicality and immortality

Angels and demons, since they are metaphysical, are immortal and thus cannot die. They are also capable of wandering in between the metaphysical realm and the physical realm at ease.

### Changing form

All angels and demons, being metaphysical, don't have a definite form or shape. And so, when going to the physical realm, they usually change in form to blend in with their surroundings or stand out if need be. In Utopia, they usually use their winged human form. Though all can do this feat, it doesn't mean all of them do.

### Flight and teleportation

Again, due to their association with the metaphysical, angels and demons can float freely in midair with no mind to physical factors such as gravity. They can also teleport from one place to another.

### Mindreading, communicating through and blocking away telepathy

Angels and demons can also look at another being's thoughts and emotions. Many Godsend angels and demons use this to persuade or tempt lesser sentient beings to do their bidding. Angels and demons also communicate without the need to talk and can block away others' attempts at telepathy.

### Possession

Angels and demons are both capable of possessing a living being, imparting power or, in extreme cases, taking over the body of a living being. There are cases where an angel or demon is willing to use itself as a life force for a living being.

## Types

There are many types of angels and demons, with the two main classifications being the Godsend type and the Acolyte type.

### Godsend angels and demons

These beings are created directly by their respective Gods, with the task of keeping Heaven or Hell intact with no souls wandering away from these places. Some of these angels and demons also function as messengers to planets.

All of these beings are granted the ability of persuasion over lower sentient beings. Godsend angels and demons can sway living beings through manipulating their thoughts, to the point that they don't need to possess them to do their bidding. These angels and demons are further divided based on their respective appearances and representations.

#### Godsend angels

* Varakies
* Casashas
* Yrmis
* Amparems
* Menthes
* Zeals
* Micalihs

#### Godsend demons

* Asmodens are demons of lust with no coverings found all over their bodies.
* Belchegors are demons of gluttony with mouths all over them and a never-ending hunger.
* Mamuns are demons of greed decorating themselves with gold and jewels.
* Avandons are demons of sloth. Their exhaustion does not cease and always sleep.
* Seethens are demons of wrath that always exhibit a strong wrathful aura and fire.
* Zebavels are demons of envy that stalk around, sulking in envy.
* Lucidis are demons of pride that clothe themselves in extravagant and eye-hurting armor.

### Lesser and greater Godsends

The Godsend angels and demons are split into two groups: the lesser Godsends and the greater Godsends.

Lesser Godsends are more human in terms of personality, capable of feeling stronger emotions and desires. These Godsends are the type that can have their powers significantly reduced and become the Fallen type.

Greater Godsends are more godlike in terms of personality, sticking to their purpose and goal. These Godsends cannot be swayed through persuasion and cannot become the Fallen type.

### Acolyte angels and demons

These beings are created by their respective Disciples with tasks depending on which Disciple they're assigned to. They have specific roles which could involve intercepting with the physical realm.

Their abilities and appearances are also dependent based on the Disciple they came from.

#### Acolyte angels

* Razimets are angels assigned to Bonne, the Disciple of mind and thought.
* Balachs are angels assigned to Lewis, the Disciple of life and body.
* Astrals are angels assigned to Setareh, the Disciple of light.

Acolyte demons

* Sothlus are demons assigned to Ifel, the Disciple of mania and instinct.
* Azarii are demons assigned to Theodore, the Disciple of death and soul.
* Tenephs are demons assigned to Tarnen, the Disciple of darkness.

### Fallen angels and demons

When an angel's or demon's power is significantly reduced, they fall and become stuck on a planet. Although their powers are reduced significantly, hints of their power can shine through.

## Interactions in Utopia

### The War that Shook the Heavens

It is unknown when, how, and why this universe-spanning war came to be. However, Utopia's people know of its existence due to the marks it left.

For one, there's a barren place in the Secluded Plateaus known only as the Deathsoot Range where nothing could thrive in its lands, perhaps due to some powerful force from an attack from these beings.

Another mark this War left are the Fallen--angels and demons that now live in Utopia and can't come back due to their crippled status.

### St. Bianchi the Messenger

In a time after the War of Dragons of Men, Saint Bianchi wrote his books of Paradisium and Pandaemonium, telling of his journey through Heaven and Hell. In these testaments, he provides vivid descriptions of angels and demons in a form as seen by Saint Bianchi.
