so... musing time!

First, I present the subject in question:

Alright, so, I know there's a lot of fan designs for this archangel. The most popular ones that I see are the ones that look more like Luci, but we don't exactly know what Lucifer was. There are accounts that he was an archangel, cherub, or some other high ranking angel. For the Hazbin verse, I'm conflicted. I see aspects of Cherubim in him, but we've seen Cherubim are closer to the bottom of the pecking order, like imps. There's also that Lucifer has six wings and eyes in his angel/demon form which makes me think he was a Seraph at one point. Furthermore, in most depictions of Heaven hierarchy, the archangels are at the bottom, just above common angels. So, why don't we change that?

I'm basing this off of the book of Enoch and the seven angels listed in it as the seven archangels that I've found being Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Saraqael, and Remiel. I know there are others considered to be archangels, but for the time being, these are the ones that I am going with. With Michael being the first and well known, and who you asked for.

First order of business, the archangels have been moved to amongst the highest order of angel, and the most secretive of these orders (or choirs, whatever you prefer). They are pillars of Heaven, the very fundamentals that everything is based off of. I went with a female design because, like the others to come, they will be modeled after the god in TBtR, which is woman in design. So, they will follow suit. It's also why she has eight wings total to show how close they are to the God in this AU. Michael, or Michelle in this case, will be the greatest and strongest of the pillars being justice. She is what Carmilla Carmine (a fallen seraph in this AU) is modeled after, and by extension, the rest of the Exorcists.

Second, I will likely base some of the other designs around the Seraphs, tossing Lucifer in as one of them because fuck it at this point. I don't know which will share Luci's appearance, but I know Ramiel (Ramiela), the pillar of hope, will share one with Emily, and maybe Uriel (Urielle), the pillar of Intuition, will share one with Sera. I dunno, we'll see.

And little more art/concepts
