	Angels are assigned different ranks depending on their age and given purpose; that position '''rarely changes during their lifetime'''. Such events are extremely rare and mostly the doing of an archangel promoting their kin in times of dire need. As of late, the '''creation of new angels has dwindled''' to a fraction of what it once was, causing the overall population to decrease for the first time in history.

Excluding Lucifer, the former archangel of Humility, the archangels are: '''Michael''' (Justice), '''Barachiel''' (Patience), '''Raphael''' (Charity), '''Uriel''' (Temperance), '''Gabriel''' (Diligence), and '''Haniel''' (Chastity). Their responsibilities are divided equally between Earth and Heaven, and thus, they are '''rarely seen by their kin'''. They are recognized by their '''six wings and monstrous true forms''' as they enter battle, in addition to '''unique, symbiotic weapons'''. These weapons cannot be handed to anyone else, defy the laws of physics, and radiate holy light.

	==== Invisibility ====		==== Invisibility ====
	Angels aren't meant to be seen and, thus, are gifted with the ability to turn and remain invisible. While invisible, they take on a semi-ethereal form and can move through solid objects or other living creatures. An invisible angel can only be seen by their kin, the ~~Deadly Sins~~, and any primordials. If an angel passes through a mortal, they may feel the divine as a passing feeling of ease and comfort; to demons, the effect is the opposite.

	==== Healing ====		==== Healing ====
	Angels possess the most powerful healing potential of all creatures without an equal. Their power allows them to cure illnesses, undo injuries, remove scars, and restore lost senses. However, using these powers on mortals is forbidden without explicit permission; whatever is intended to happen has to happen; such is the natural order. As an angel's ability to heal is tied to their wings, some have figured a way around the ban by leaving their feathers for humans to find. ~~Archangels~~ possess the ultimate form of healing: resurrection from the dead.

	Cherubim (singular "Cherub") are warriors directly under Seraphim ~~commands,~~ '''~~protecting~~ the heavenly realm ~~from attacks~~'''. They act as guards in times of peace, waiting for the next call to action. Compared to the much more hostile Seraphim, Cherubim are '''specialized in defense and healing''' rather than more aggressive abilities. They '''rarely leave their assigned posts''' and are often stoic in nature, provoked into action whenever they sense a threat.

	All but the youngest Ishim have access to their true form, where an angel is at their most powerful. The forms range from beautiful to terrifying, from the size of cars to the height of mountains, able to be seen across the horizon. They are as unique as animals on Earth, varying from celestial dragons to uncanny, human-like creatures. Not two forms are alike, nor are there characteristics every angel shares. Finding out one's true form is even more meaningful than settling on a name, which is why all Ishim look forward to receiving their wings and transforming for the first time.

	Not so much a weakness but a direct threat, primordials have the upper hand against any angel. Even if all the Archangels combined their powers, they would barely stand a chance against a single, weakened primordial. The archaic principles are powerful enough to directly damage an angel's true form, crippling and incapacitating their opponent without much effort. It is better to stay clear of primordials or, at the very least, avoid provoking them.		Not so much a weakness but a direct threat, primordials have the upper hand against any angel.

	Angels are not as altruistic and selfless as stories like to tell. Rather than messengers of peace and love, they are a breed of '''soldiers forged in the holy fires of Heaven'''. Comparable to sentient units of a universal hive mind, their greatest strength lies in '''cooperation and strict, absolute authority'''. If an angel questions their higher-ranking kin, they could risk losing their wings or life. Unforgiving and unrelenting, angels are fierce opponents, fearless guardians of their domain, '''recorders of the world's history''', and guardians of the lost.
