Angelic Saga, I

The souls of good honest people or creatures. The reason you give for your Valour is what allows you in the ranks. You can be forgiven and pardoned for small deeds. The ideas of religion has changed so to what was once assumed to be what was minor or larger crimes. You don't have to be god fearing to be a honest god person. In some way, you no longer have to be at either. You can be really bad for your deeds but mean good intentions (And still be allowed among).

Lower creatures and learning angels are blank slates - they loose the concepts of emotions. They can be actually creepy if you weren't aware of this fact. It's the teaching by older angels is in order to teach the fledglings what is the right response to situational problems.

Every angel has traits that they are skilled at, and this hues their wings. Bold coloured are the highest of the department they manage. The shading of wings is treated separately, how light or dark wings are is sort of judging how innocent you really are. The pure white ones (which don't exist) are the lower hands of graceful god and goddesses.

Angels are the armies for every god and goddess or tend to be the dwellers of realms outside of living belief. Not all angels are humanoid. Everything that isn't a 'god, demon, undertaker or living' are named within the Compendium. Even soulless are recounted in this book, as being soulless is just as close to being a fledgling as it gets. This isn't a physical book or a physical anything. It's more like an attachment to whomever can access it. It will manifest into a readable thing or just be sudden knowledge in their mind. Only the highest of ranking have this, those whom proven to best pretend to be emotional or give suitable learnt responses to a action.

So becoming an angel isn't exactly what souls dreamed it being, which is why falling to hell is so tempting. Living down there seems nicer with those that retain enough personality from converting into a fledgling. Archangels tend to be these types that hadn't fallen. Their wings are multiple colours and many shades for different colours. The judge of innocence is to how large the birth marks tattoo their skin but these marks appear a little later in developing. They take longer to get wings.

Fledgling have a period to learn what they need. Like wisdom teeth, their wings will grow. They stay children sized until the day of their wings. In tradition, they are also given their rank, jobs and names. They will live for as long they are needed, for as long as their kept their duty or that their wings give in. A old dying angel will have melting wings. Rank changes also cause feather shedding, a messy ordinal. Angels whom been accused for breaking laws or have been damned by gods will be clipped. They must relearn like a new-born to gain their wings again. If the law was so great, they will fall down to hell. To prove they are worth forgiveness is to crawl out of hell's trials. Angels that been around a long time will have many wings or large wings. Some will complete loose being a angel and are converted into a realm creature.

So the Biblical angels as humans wrote in the bible, are canon. Have fun looking that up. I am still a little weirded out.

Angels have a uniform, which isn't something demons do. It will suit to the Era of current living standards or the standards their previous life was normal. They wear their weaponry. It can be converted into necklaces, bracelets, bangles, belts and other accessories. The standard is a sword belt, a necklace bow and ten ring arrows. Every arrow used is to be a rewritten account detailing why it was needed. Extras are a ranking bonus or a department tool. If you are a gardener, then you would have all you garden shed to wear.

'Angels' tend to be clean up crew. If a battle among the living has happened and the place was damaged. They are sent to repair it enough to convince the living that nothing was changed. They do not have the grace abilities as undertaker do (which will be explained in the undertaker section). Angels have nothing to do with living beings. They will heal the injured even if they have the abilities to. Use of such miracles is another long winded written account.

Reasoning is everything. Being honest is just what they are, no sugar coating anything. A lower angel has no ability to lie, they have no emotional need or cause for. Someone higher would have to tell them to in order to for them to lie. Not making it their lie. A loop hole in the system really. You reason for your deeds are what ranks you. You change jobs, you change wing colours. Simple as.

Angels do convert into other creatures, thus stripping them from being included among ranking. No one really has every bothered to work out why some angel melt and others alter. The assumption according to death gods conversation, that the soul of the angel is the only true differ factor. A soul will always retain things it always had or marked for itself. No soul is the same in spite of angels starting the same. Undertakers and Death gods will mock folks as fledglings to insult another's ability to learn.

Overall the angels are just one large go to army for everything. Every colour wing as a purpose and skill to do that purpose. Each colour is managed in a rainbow laddering. indigo are culture or localized nesh odd jobs. Blue being water based jobs. Green is plants or stationary lifeforms. Yellow / golden hue are spirit jobs (the highest are the gods and goddess of life). Orange is soil, stone and earthy jobs. Red is flames, lava and burning based.

There is a another third ranking system that only happens away from living perspectives which is regression of souls. Feather can be revered into scales. As reptiles are a bird ancestor. This isn't visible in living visitation and have never be confused for demons. The soul being cycled back among living will go through this phase. They are no longer sighted as angels or bird people but as a proud dragon race. Dragon folks can't not cross into living worlds without loosing what made them different from living animals. So no fear of them anymore. A accident has happened before which is why humans find dinosaur bones, as accounted by another death god.
