Angels

Angels are a type of powerful existential entity. They live on the Astral Plane and are fully divine. In fact, there is little difference-- sometimes no difference-- between angels and deities, though they may have different kinds of magical powers and attributes. Angels see themselves as pieces of the great unifying energy that connects all of existence (sometimes called "God"), though they are individuals in their own right. They cannot "fall," because they cannot disconnect from Spirit. The closest they can come is incarnation, and although angels can incarnate, this happens very rarely. Angels can somehow have hybrid children with humans, which happens more often.

Angels are technically sexless and incorporeal, though most choose a gender and a physical form when interacting with humans and demi-angels. An angel's most common physical form among demi-angels is that of a winged humanoid, and they are distinguished from demi-angels by their auras, which are always visible.

Contrary to popular belief, angels do not have any kind of hierarchy. The concept of superiority is more or less foreign to them. However, there are different types of angels with varying levels of vibration. The most powerful are the Seraphim, or the "burning ones," fiery beings with spectacular cleansing power. They are very rare, and come to Earth so infrequently that there is only one demi-Seraph in existence. The next most powerful angels are the Cherubim, who are guardians and record-keepers of the Astral plane and other sacred realms. Other types of angels include Virtues (controllers of the elements, miracle-workers, and givers of inspiration), Powers (warrior angels), and billions of Guardian Angels (who attempt to help humanity in any way they can, though their amount of control over the physical world is limited).

Archangels are particularly powerful angels who are prominent and respected individuals among angels and humans. "Archangel" is more of a title than a specific type of angel. The most famous one is Archangel Michael, a Seraph. Other well known archangels include Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Azrael, Cassiel, and Metatron.
