Celestial Roll Call

Well i figure since the demons have one <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s --> *stolen*

If you believe yourself a celestial tell us a little bit about yourself here.

I'm Prince (high Prince >.>) and I'm a Seraph Weaver (or Weaveraph hence my old user name). My understanding of what I am has changed slightly over the last few months. Many believe that angels of a specific choir have jobs, I'm not sure what mine is but I think I'm on the right track to figuring it out (could have something to do with the weaverness...not sure) I've known (on and off) that I'm Seraph for going on 7 years now, and Jesus rocks! (literally, I have a poster with him ricking out with an electric twanger <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> )

Hope to get to better know my fellow celestials. *places cookies on topic, with anti-cookie demon measures already put in place...those being more cookies placed several elsewheres* <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->

I'm Ashaiel, also called Iophiel, which means "beauty of God". I'm a cherub, supposedly the "angel of beauty" -- which I don't necessarily buy, but anyway -- and was an assistant to Michael in battle, along with my twin brother, Zadkiel. I had/have a paramour: Israfel, the angel of music.

I did find the name "Ashaiel" in the Biblical book of Second Kings -- I believe that's it, anyway. Apparently, Ashaiel was a Levite priest of some kind, if I remember correctly; and it's very possible that he was one of my own incarnations, and the name stuck. Of course, I was still called Iophiel in my angelic form, and am to this day.

I actually prefer "Iophiel" to "Ashaiel"; I just go by Ash here because I feel as if I'd be making too big a deal about being Ioph if I went by that name.

I dunno my angelic name, I don't even know if I have one and I don't care. Just call me Elze. Or Brook. Or Bird. Or M. Or...yeah, I have too many names.


I'm something in between an angel and a faerie, and bit of neither. I'm old, but I'm surprisingly young for my age...and I'm just trying to do my job, really...

Join the club! xD. But seriously though, that kinda stuff you mentioned, that takes time. No rush, stop and enjoy those cookies! No need to scarf them xD. Glad to see you here *hugs*

*waves*
i've been called a few things since my awakening started, but seeing as how i see most names as titles anyways, i'm fine with that.
i don't fit into any particular choir, actually. being a Protoangel, i had a very long stint helping Alaha build creation and stuff and fighting chaos, then my soulmate (Sahra, she'll probably stop by later) jumped in between me and a chaotic entity i was fighting and got pwnt. this fluxed up my head quite a bit, and by the time my current job finished, i was basically catatonic, and i didnt remember anything that happened, or would remember what did happen later on, until...last fall, when i reunited with Sahra and her brother <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s -->.
unlike the other 3 Protoangels and all the "chimerics" under them, i wasn't fit to join a regular choir. so, Alaha was just like "Go now, and Be," and i went all Peter Pan and spent my days just playing around in Heaven, diving in and out of Eden (much to everyone's confusion/dismay), skipping to the front of the line to see Dad, pissing off Michael, spying on the eshnahai, etc etc etc.
so...ya. HAI! i r be here naow

Vant, Whats a Protoangel?

*Note: what follows is a brief explanation of an aspect of my world-view, and therefore is NOT up for argument, only discussion and explanation. it's what i believe, remember, and understand, and what i have faith in*

the term "Protoangel" is a term that Sahra and I have given to the four beings originally created at the outset of the creation of the universe we currently inhabit (as in, this 'world,' Alaha's latest project, "The Next Big Thing," etc.).
the term is just something we settled on, and the extended version is "prototype angel." there were four, right at the outset, two male, two female. we were created as pure aspects, and gifted with a balance of order and chaos, something that was unique to the four of us (for the most part.)
Alaha cannot touch chaotic energy, but he needed a way to get the stuff out of the way as he spread his Light and built Creation. each of the four were created to help in this aspect. we cleared the way, he filled in the space behind us, effectively bringing order to the chaos.
only problem is, when Alaha showed up, the chaotic energy started to change DRAMATICALLY. this chaos was, as i can best describe it, the stuff that oblivion is made of. you know...chaos energy. it took one good look at Alaha and started to take shape, becoming sentient and HUNGRY. due to this, the four of us had to actually fight the stuff back and protect Alaha even as we cleared the way for His work.
once His work was done (all the Heavens built, enough blank space ready for the planets and such), the four of us parted ways. Sahra became a Messenger after she was struck in battle, though the chaotic residue never left her. i explained what happened to me. the other male, Helel, became one of the big three head honchos in the Aerie, the other two being his most promising students (Michael and Samael). the other female, Anael, later became Eve.

there's MUCH more to it than that, and Sahra can word it better than i can, but yeah...that's what a Protoangel is. it's a word to assign to the earliest phase of existence for Helel, Anael, Sahra and myself. the true title, if there is one, is lost to us, and it wasn't permanent either, really. Helel became an Archangel, Ana a psychopomp, Sahra a messenger and me...a hobo.

Really you too? We should start a club xD. Seriously though I've had like one task that I can remember, the rest of the time was me wandering around...annoying people :3.

Heh, thats a great explanation. Thanks <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s -->

*rofls* thats the thing though, that WAS my task! i was so mentally screwed up from losing the only lover i ever had and having to face the Unnamed without her nearby that i was incapable of anything but simply enjoying all of existence, something that most angels were unable to do, due to their tasks and duties. most angels were so busy that they were unable to "stop and smell the roses." my job was to make sure that those "roses" got sniffed, and were paid the proper love and attention they deserved.

because i was unable to do anything but exist, love and be the embodiment of the compassion that no one had the time to fully exercise, thats what i was then assigned to do, you know? kinda like, "well, the kid's so messed up that he can do nothing but play pinball...so lets pay him to do it!" (Pinball wizard reference...the kid the song talks about was catatonic...or something or other. i'm not sure of the proper term for it. like, i was awake and conscious and everything, but nothing processed like with everyone else. like, when Sahra talks about the one time i pissed off Michael for some reason or the other, and he knocked me down and almost back-handed me across the face. she stopped him, but i had no idea what was going on. it wasn't even "why is he angry," so much as it was "why does his face look different? it's all scrunched up and red and stuff...like a rose before it blooms, but ugly.")
