Astral Light. . Araquiel has the ability to channel the light of heaven through her body, which can manifest itself as simple light or as a burning fire capable of destruction. Tay-al-Ard. . Araquiel also has the ability to travel instantaneously from one place to another, including from the mortal world back to heaven. Order-Specific Abilities Fire/Light Resistance. . Because the seraphim stand closest to God, they must shield themselves with their wings from his burning light. Similarly, their wings protect them from other fire or light-based attacks. __ P h y s i c a l . . Vision. . She has a higher visual acuity than a normal human, and can also see into the ultraviolet spectrum to a certain degree. She is also unaffected by any but the strongest of blinding lights. Strength. . She is approximately 1.5 times stronger than the average human of her size. Speed. . Her reflexes and muscles are capable of moving about twice as fast as those of a normal human. Resilience. . Araquiel is capable of surviving some injuries that would normally be fatal to a normal person. She is also incapable of being turned into a vampire, lycan or any other beast whose curse is spread contagiously and has a slightly more effective immune, hepatic, and renal system that allows her to more quickly clear her body of infectious agents, toxins and poisons. This does NOT decrease their effects on her body, it only shortens the length of the resulting illness. |
. . . . . . Wings. . An angel's power derives from their wings. Injuries to them are extremely painful, and losing one is crippling; losing both, however, is fatal. They can regrow a wing as long as they other remains, but it is a month-long process during which they are extremely vulnerable to infection and very weak as well. This crux is a closely guarded secret among angels, something no angel would likely ever disclose to a non-angel. Polarity. . While a fallen angel may hold a moral stance of any range, from lawful good to unlawful evil, an angel's power is polar in nature; it has only one of two sources: heaven or hell. As such, the more neutral an angel becomes, the less power they can derive from their source. In order to utilize the full force of holy power, that angel must be purely holy; and in order to utilize the full force of unholy power, that angel must be entirely unholy. Entering a grey area weakens the angel, because the amount of power they can call upon is directly related to their allegiance to the source. An entirely neutral angel would be unable to call upon any supernatural power. Similarly, they are strongest in their native environments; a holy angel is strengthened in a holy environment, and a demonic angel is strengthened by a malevolent environment. Spirituality. . Being primarily spiritual beings, they are particularly susceptible to spiritual assaults; more so than physical ones. A very powerful magician or priest can force them to appear before him or her and do their bidding--at least for a time. These deals always require a sacrifice on the magician's part, but tend to be more beneficial for them than for the angel. Similarly, any sort of magics which drain their spiritual force or which "consume" spirits is particularly devastating for angels. Order. . Along the same lines as their inherent polarity, angels must follow the strict charges of their Order or allegiance in order to continue to draw power from that source. A holy angel who never commits benevolent acts will find themselves growing weaker as their power is withdrawn, and the same is true for those angels aligned with hell. Simply remaining neutral is NOT an option in the war between heaven and hell. A neutral angel receives no "compensation" from either side.
