Angel Physiology

"We are natural laws, Matthew. We were once waves and quanta. We danced, not on the heads of pins, but in the orbits of electrons."
― Gaviel (Demon: The Fallen)
"When the god an angel serves dies the angel ceases to function until the next god appears."
"An angel? So Whis is an angel? But he's got no wings, and his butt's not hangin' out."
― Shin and Goku (Dragon Ball Super)
"♪ Others say that in your needy hour
There's no substitute for pure angelic power! ♪"
― Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel)
"I thought angels were supposed to be guardians. Fluffy wings, halos—you know, Michael Landon. Not dicks."
"Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier."
― Dean and Castiel (Supernatural)

Capabilities[]

Users possess the traits, attributes, characteristics and/or abilities of angels, a being connected to and serving Higher Powers. They achieve this either through full or partial transformation into angels, choosing to mimic certain aspects of angelic beings, or simply already being an angel in the first place. Most commonly angels simply manifest wings, an inner glow, and/or a halo, which is the usual form of which angels are imagined, but several kinds of angels are far less humanoid, some ranging from strange to surreal.

For practical reasons angels can be divided into three groups defined by what they are formed from:

  • Physical Angels aren't necessarily solid matter, but they are material/energy beings with relatively defined/stable form and often at least somewhat human-like mind. Most users that aren't originally of angelic stock have this variation. Note that angels of this group aren't necessarily any weaker than those of the other groups, they are simply more "solid" in mind and body.
  • Spiritual Angels are completely spiritual beings, and thus far less bound to the "Material World". Many of them think in ways that are only tangentially relatable to humans, and their forms are both transient and often downright surreal.
  • Ethereal Angels are often both the most powerful and ancient angels, in some ways closer to sentient concepts than anything else. As such, relating to them in any way is most likely impossible.

Variations of Angels[]

Given the vast variety of powers Angel have available and the variety of their duties, some of the possible and known positions/variations include:

Many Angels have different interests and/or they are created for different purposes, so many have additional abilities, like Angels of Health or The Seven Knightly Virtues, just to name few.
