Cherubim

**Cherubim**, or **Cherubs** for short, are a higher warrior class of angel, above the Middle and Lower Sphere of Angels, but lower in status than Archangels and Seraphim, thus they are the lowest members of the Higher Angels. They've worked under the command of the Archangels since the dawn of their creation.

The Cherubim are a whole other type of Angelic being, who rank higher than Second and Third Angel Spheres. They are immensely powerful celestial beings who can overpower all lower angels and middle angels. Additionally, though the pose no real threat, they are however strong enough to fight Archangels, at least for a short time. They possess incredible powers, such as Holy White Light and advanced Biokinesis.

Cherubim function as liaisons between Archangels and Middle to Lowe Angels.

## Early History

### Creation

Following the creation of Oracle and the seven Archangels, God then creates other classes of angels, starting with the Cherubim. Upon being taught how to be warriors, the Cherubim then became the lowest members of the Higher Angels and served under Oracle and the Archangels as well as the Superiors to the Middle and Lower Sphere of Angels

## Characteristics

As the third highest-ranking angels of Heaven, Cherubim are very powerful, terrifying and intimidating, as their mere presence can cause even the Powers some form of fear. The Cherubim possess a pair of two, gigantic feathered wings, which are larger than the wings of the Powers, as the Cherubim are their superiors.

## Powers

As a higher class of angels, Cherubim are one of the strongest and most powerful angels in the Heavenly Host, innately possessing all the commonly standard powers and abilities of all angels, only at a higher level. Cherubs are endowed with a great amount of stronger angelic powers. They are endowed with greatly advanced powers - including healing, resurrection, teleporting, smiting, and middle level reality-warping - while retaining all common ones. They are more powerful than lower and middle angels. At full strength, they are capable of fighting off and defeating three powers and are also capable of killing entire groups of Malakhim.

* **Extreme Power:** Though they are neither omnipotent or even nigh-omnipotent beings, the Cherubim are extremely powerful angels. They possess an incredible amount of astounding supernatural powers and abilities that allows them to be stronger and more powerful the Malakhim and Powers, making them one of the most powerful angels in creation.
* **Extreme Knowledge:** As one of the Higher Angels, the Cherubim have an immense understanding and knowledge of the Universe, possessing knowledge superior to that of even the Powers. However, even the Cherubim's knowledge is inferior to God, Oracle, and the Archangels.
* **Immortality:** Cherubs, like any and all celestial angelic beings, by nature, can live forever, don't age over time, are not subject to disease and old age, are immune to disease and can't die by any natural means of death. They are impervious to arrows, knives, blades, swords, and any other conventional human ways of killing. They never tire, and do not need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe to sustain themselves.
	+ **Invulnerability:** As angels, there are very few things able to kill Cherubs as they have shown to be impervious to most forms of harm. Cherubs are invulnerable to anything earthly and can only be hurt or wounded by supernatural means. They possesses accelerated healing abilities that allow them to heal wounds that would kill a human in seconds, if not instantly. They are unharmed by extreme temperatures. They are immune to all ailments and is immortal, able to fully heal from any non-supernatural wound regardless of its fatality.

### Physical Abilities

* **Superhuman Stamina:** Cherubs never tire or get fatigued. As such, they do not require food, sleep, or oxygen. They can remain active for eternity.

* **Enhanced Superhuman Strength:** Nothing can get passed a Cherubim. As being a higher class of angel endowed with greater strength, Cherubs exhibit higher levels of physical strength than a Malakhim and Power, making them extremely strong. They can lift at least 1 ton with little difficulty without effort, are able to rupture a stone wall just by merely touching it, and are physically much stronger than and are more than capable of overpowering and destroying humans and even their low-tier lesser angelic brethren with greater ease. However, although they are incredibly strong in their own right, against the Archangels, Cherubs are inferior against them and are no real threat to them as well.
* **Expert Swordsmen:** While not physically the strongest of angels, Cherubs are highly skilled in swordplay with angelic blades, being able to defeated several Malakhim angels, despite being outnumbered.

### Spiritual/Magical Abilities

* **Teleportation:** Cherubs possess the ability to teleport/transport themselves and others to any location anywhere from one place to another instantly as long as the area is not protected by enochian sigils, traveling from one place to another instantly. Like with all angels, whenever they use this power, this is accompanied with the sound of their wings flapping and a sudden rush of air can be heard. But they can Teleport without hearing sound of flapping wings or a rush of air when teleporting short distances.

* **Advanced Smiting:** As all angels, Cherubim are able to burn out the eyes of other beings, killing them simply by touching the forehead of their victims. However, a Cherubs angelic killing touch is much more powerful than a Malakhim or a Power. They can and are able to instantly kill several demons and other beings like monsters with a simple touch with great ease by using this ability. When this happens, a strong white light appears from the eyes and mouth of the victim and burns them from the inside out. It is revealed that this power burns out the eyes of the being it is used on and liquifies all of their organs. However, more powerful beings, such as the archangels, are immune to this power and could also extend this protection to lesser angels.
* **Reality Warping:** Cherubs possess mid-level reality warping abilities. They are able to, in one instance, alter reality to some extent. They can even change it from night to day with a snap of their fingers.
* **Weather Manipulation:** Like with other angels, Cherubs can cause lightning storms.
* **Advanced Holy White Light:** Cherubs are able to emit a powerful, glorious holy white light from the palm of their hand in a similar fashion to that of an Archangel and a Seraphim. This blast if powerful enough to kill a room full of Hybrids and blast a locked door open.

* **Advanced Telepathy:** Similar to Archangels, Cherubs can and are able to easily read the minds of humans and other lower-level Angels.
