Archangel Physiology

"Archangels are fierce. They're absolute. They're heaven's most terrifying weapon."

― Castiel to Dean Winchester (Supernatural)

"He's a King-Angel of the Cherubim Alpha Battalion. And if that doesn't mean much to you - Imagine a being whose every heartbeat is a thousand Hiroshimas, whose gaze can strip flesh from bone. Whose blood is the universal solvent, an acid ten thousand times purer than any on Earth. If you can imagine that, you just about imagine Asmodel."

― Zauriel (DC Comics)

"That given name is not mistaken, either. I do also correspond to the symbol of angel…I am, at the very least, far closer to the real thing than those romanticized ideas whispered of on the streets, of an extraterrestrial intelligent life-form, Holy Guardian Angel, or the Secret Chief of modern western magic cabals. My existence, however, differs in concept from the angels described in extant holy books. Therefore, if one wanted to refer to me in a more accurate fashion, one should choose a term from among the following."

― Aiwass (Toaru Majutsu no Index)

The power to have the traits and abilities of archangels. Variation of Transcendent Angel Physiology. Opposite to Archdemon Physiology.

Capabilities[]

The user can have the traits and abilities of archangels (literally chief angel), angel lords who herald other angels. They possess incredible supernatural power and dominion over other angels and at times given charge over a specific area or function. On top of their gargantuan personal power, they usually rule over their own divine plane and its legions of angels as chief princes/princesses, making them some of the most powerful defenses against the unholy legions.

Beings similar to archangels are found in a number of religious traditions (including Zoroastrianism); but the word "archangel" itself is usually associated with the Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
