Angels

"We are not fluffy feathered little people that dance around the clouds in their birthday suits. We are warriors of God and our duty is to protect humanity and fulfill his will, even if it means killing shedding blood that is seen as a casualty." ― Cassiel explaining about angels to AlexandraAngels are entities of the light, created by God as their children. Their task is to watch over humanity and guide them, as well as protecting them from outside threats. They are responsible of guarding Heaven and the righteous human souls that inhabit there.

Angels by far are one of the most powerful entities in existence with only certain species or individuals being able to outmatch them.

Characteristics
Angels are among one of the strongest supernatural species in existence, as they are warriors of God and safeguard their creation, and are responsible for caring for the human souls that occupy the sky. Therefore, they are superior to being mortal in power and intelligence.

While Angels appear as human beings, they can mingle by hiding their feathery wings back to the body. Your eyes may also glow in different colors. This helps to differentiate them from humans, however, reveals that their human appearance is merely a cover or a means of protection from not walking the earth in their true appearance, which can be harmful to mortal beings except individuals. selected by heaven as prophets.

The true face of an angel rises from the height of a skyscraper to a mountain. Ordinary angels are tall as skyscrapers, while high angels in the Heavenly Hierarchy are as large as mountains. Archangels may look as large as mountains, but in reality they change size to walk the planet, because the true maximum size is as large as the planets, and the seraphim and cherubim are as large as the stars. Many descriptions of angels differ, for example archangels or seraphim have six wings, while cherubim have four wings and the rest have only a single pair of wings. The basic feature is that they all have two animal heads on their shoulders, known to be their sacred animals. They are skeletal bodies and come in a variety of colors. They have a glowing sphere inside the ribcage of the same color as the body and wings.

Angels have varying amounts of personality and emotion, depending on the class. Angels and thrones show very little or no personality. Archangels begin to show emotions, though simple, such as nervousness and joy, and become more complex as the Degree increases.

A similar emotion that all angels feel, regardless of Degree, is intense loyalty to the Father, God. Loyalty is an angel's greatest emotion and will replace any other feelings he has, as well as God's orders, if he feels he is in danger. Although this did not prevent Lucifer and a third of the angels from turning against God.

Cassiel described angels as committed, emotionless beings who will accomplish their task no matter the cost. They do not understand the understanding of free will, which means they act as if they have no choice and follow the "Will of God," something they cannot assume, for no angel has no idea what he really wants or needs. While angels seem robotic, those like Cassiel, Anael, some ordinary angels, Higher Angels, and Archangels exhibit emotions and feelings capable of feeling happiness, anger, and sadness. It may be due to spending much closer to humanity than the lower angels, so that they can rebel and think for themselves.

Celestial Hierarchy
Angels are classified in a Hierarchy. Each one is assigned a different role and it determines the class of angel and powers they wield. Here is a hierarchy comparison of the one from Christianity and from the Fanon story.

==== Christian Hierarchy ==== First Sphere
 * Seraphim


 * Cherubim

Second Sphere
 * Thrones
 * Dominon or Lordships


 * Virtues or Strongholds

Third Sphere
 * Powers or Authorities
 * Principalities or Rulers


 * Archangels


 * Angels

Seraphim
Seraphim are six-winged angels of the highest rank, embodying the sun and the love of God. Seraphim are the strongest angels in heaven, whose colossal power can compete with the entire universe and personify fire. She has the power to command all God's armies, as well as the right to punish any creature, including even angels. Their task is to serve as the caretakers of God's Throne.

Cherubim
The cherubim are one of the highest ranks of angels in the Christian hierarchy of angels, second only to the seraphim. Their position among angels is uncertain, but they serve as an angel who judges other angelic beings, protects the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. And they are always classified in the First Sphere. Some believe they are an order or class of angels; others consider them a higher class of heavenly beings than angels.

Cherubim represent the four domains created by God : wild animals (lion), domestic animals (ox), humans (man) and birds (eagle). Further to this, each represents the chief of their repective domains. The lion, known as "King of the Jungle", chief of wild animals and umatched in courage; the ox, chief of domestic animals with its dignified strength; the eagle, most majestic of all flying creatures, far seeing and swift; mankind, chief of all creations, is a chief of chiefs and so represents a king of kings, made in YHVH's image and so posseses love and free will.
 * Courage in pursuit of Justice (Lion)


 * Tremendous Power (Ox)


 * Love out of freewill (Man)

They may also be representative of certain other traits i.e. the lion of royalty, kingship or ruling, the calf or ox of serving or sacrificing for others, the man of humanity, and the eagle of majesty or divinity.
 * Far-sighted Wisdom (Eagle)

Archangels
In the nine orders of angels in Christian teachings, archangels are among the eighth, making them second in the third hierarchy. Archangels are one of the few bodies of angels that contact those on the material plane directly and are the ministers and messengers between God and mankind.
