Archangel

Archangels are a type of angel created by Elais. Within the angelic army, the archangels are given the role as military commanders and political leaders, both of which possess potent powers and abilities. Outside of their standard operation, they are often tasked with more specialized roles like observation and watching over others.

Characteristics
Archangels are a higher-tier of angels, often placed in command of their lesser kind or leading the defences of angelic strongholds. When not on their regular duties, archangels are placed within specialized tasks such as assassinations or as those who watch over important enough mortals, claiming their souls after death.

Their power is enough to allow them to deal with demons and other creatures with little effort, only being surpassed by higher demons and other divinities.

Powers & Abilities

 * Superhuman Physiology: As a type of angel, the archangels are gifted with physical strength that surpasses that of mortals and other non-divine entities. They do not require any form of physical sustenance, only the light of Aithos is required to keep them active.
 * Immortality: Archangels are immune to ageing, disease, and most forms of physical harm. They have the potential to live forever if not killed through violent means.
 * Pyrokinesis: Archangels can generate fire that is capable of cleansing the corruption of demons or to be used as a weapon against other threats.
 * Memory Manipulation: Archangels can manipulate the memories of mortals into forgetting their presence or a specific event. They can also undo this.
 * Telepathy: As commanders of lesser angels, archangels can communicate telepathically with those in their charge.
 * Light Manipulation: An archangel can conjure weapons composed of divine light and use it to strike their foes. Beings of chaos and darkness are the most effected by them, particularly demons. Although weapons are most common, they can conjure light-based objects like restraints.
 * Flight: Through their ability of light manipulation, archangels can conjure or dissipate wings that allow them to take flight and attack other with should it be necessary. However, should their wings become damaged, they will be damaged permanently and prevented from flying.

Weaknesses

 * Higher Beings: Archangels can be relatively easily killed by beings of equal or greater power, such as gods, dragons, demons, and demigods. They do not require any special weaponry to do so.
 * Magic: Potent enough magic is capable of stopping or wounding an archangel, killing if done through divine magic.
 * Divinity: Those mortals who possess either divine magic or weaponry can wound or kill an archangel.
