Thank you @mellowscrolls and @metallic-scaled-scarf for rejuvenating my motivation for this little story, even just a bit. Here’s the angel brothers doing some shenanigans — Michael is not the best baker…

Also, these all relate to the angels we know in present-day. In AHOS, not all of these Choirs existed before the Fall of Lucifer.

The 9th, 8th, and 7th Choirs make up the Third Triad. The 6th, 5th, and 4th Choirs make up the Second Triad. The 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Choirs make up the First Triad.

ANGEL

Common angels who make up the 9th Choir. They deal with human affairs more often than any other angel. Guardian Angels original in the this Choir. They are closest to humans, and so look the most like them. Their name “angel” is also used as a blanket term for all nine Choirs. They can shift their forms to look like humans in order to carry out tasks on the materia world without causing a panic.

ARCHANGEL

Highly Rare angels who make up the 8th Choir. They act as famous messengers and mentors to humans. They’re usually depicted with tools/weapons specific to each archangel. There are only four archangels today: Saint Michael (shown), Saint Raphael, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Uriel. All but Uriel are deprived with white wings. They consider each other blood brothers, similarly to how humans view their own siblings. They can shift their forms to look like humans in order to carry out tasks on the materia world without causing a panic.

PRINCIPALITY

Uncommon angels who make up the 7th Choir. They lead the entirety of the Third Triad. They’re the governors of heavenly states and are sometimes seen passing guidance to the material world, but not as often as angels or archangels. They’re usually depicted with crowns and scepters to represent their leadership positions. They can shift their forms to look like humans in order to carry out tasks on the materia world without causing a panic.

POWER

God Power - Common angels who make up the 6th Choir. They’re warrior angels with a focus on strength and teamwork. They keep balance by deterring demons from both the material world and Heaven. They’re much larger than most other angels. They can fly by shifting their legs into streams of light that propel them.

Daystar Power - First created in mass by Lucifer during the Rebellion in Heaven. They focus on speed and agility. Due to the speed at which they needed to be created for the war, they were designed to be much smaller and mute, focusing on individual prowess rather than teamwork. All Daystar Powers Fell with Lucifer, and many have been killed since then, leaving only a few remaining and classifying them as Highly Rare. They can fly by shifting their legs into streams of light that propel them.

VIRTUE

Uncommon angels who make up the 5th Choir. They maintain physical balance in the universe by governing elements, weather, the movement of planets and stars, and the basic cycle of life. Much of their body is made up of materials/elements found on Earth, like fire, water, clouds, and glass. They work quietly and don’t speak much.

DOMINION

Uncommon angels who make up the 4th Choir. They lead the 2nd Triad, invoking wisdom from higher Choirs to pass on further below. They maintain incorporeal balance in the universe, like governing time and space. They often take somewhat frightening forms, with exposed bones, claws, and hollowed chests. Sand can also be seen falling through their bodies. Much of their representation symbolizes the passage of time. Dominions can also assist in recalling memories.

THRONE/OPHAN

Plural, “ophanim,” these are rare angels of the 3rd Choir. They’re the Judges of Heaven, holding grand knowledge of all ages. They often give both material and incorporeal gifts to saints and angels in Heaven and on Earth. They can shift into numerous forms, though are usually depicted with metal rings, human eyes, and wings in various patterns. Their souls are liked with the rest of the Triad.

Depicted (left) is Metatron and other Thrones. They’re they Protectors of the Door of the Father, which is a gateway into a holy room where God’s presence resides. They act as a locked barrier, allowing and refusing the passage of souls to God. Their tears are consumable, allowing the unenlightened (demons and souls in Purgatory) to see God in His fullness without complications.

CHERUB

Plural, “cherubim,” these are rare angels of the 2nd Choir. The standard Cherub depicted in scripture and seen in present-day were created after the Fall of Lucifer. They’re chariot bearers and the Watchers of Heaven who grant courage to saints and angels alike. They protect specific places in Heaven, such as Eden and Heaven’s Castle. They’re usually depicted with four wings (two to fly and two to cover their feet), multiple heads (both with animal and human characteristics), and are quadrupedal. Despite their looks, they are fully sentient and capable of speech. Their souls are linked with the rest of the Triad.

Depicted (left) is Lucifer, the first Cherub and the only one of his kind before his Fall. He was the highest ranking angel of his time, as Seraphim hadn’t been created yet. He was a highly regarded leader of all of Heaven, Prince of the Archangels, and Master of Music. He was depicted with four white wings to show his authority.

SERAPH

Plural, “seraphim,” these are highly rare angels of the 1st Choir. They were created after the Fall of Lucifer and were dubbed “The Burning Ones” to symbolize their closeness to God as His closest protectors and worshipers. They re Arely leave God’s holy room, but can and do on special occasions. They’re usually depicted with six wings (two to fly, two do cover their faces, and two to cover their feet). They were given six wings to represent their authority over Cherubim in an effort to humble the Fallen Lucifer. They are usually in constant praise and song. Their souls are linked with the rest of the Triad.

Depicted (right) is Seraphiel, the Prince of the High Angelic Choir. He is the leader of the Seraphim and he teaches them new songs and means of worship. He often communes with Saint Michael on a range of matters.

//or just to gossip, shh don’t tell anybody

More Michael! Man I LOVE actually sitting down and drawing complex armor/clothes. Takes a LONG time but it’s fun. Also I understand that he needs a helmet, I just can’t draw them for the life of me waaaa - one day, someday, I’ll do it

You won’t see other angels wearing heavy armor like this, as they wouldn’t be able to fly due to the weight. However, because of his special God-given strength, Michael is able to fly easily while wearing it

And then some more clothes designs. These were moreso just for fun, but fun they were. I also had a thought that Mrithun would be Raphael’s personal guard in his late-Heaven phase. I also just wanted to draw their height difference accurately for once eee

Some lore for archangel tools

Stuff is written out but it could be hard to read on tumblr so I’ll retype it, with some extra stuff not featured in the pic

ARCHANGELS’ TOOLS

Specific tools are assigned to individual Archangels, but these tools can also be shared among other people. In that case, the tool will gain new characteristics based on the wielder.

MICHAEL

His tool is a sword that glows brightly and sports a blue hue. It’s cut is usually explosive, and the sword grants him extra courage. He is usually never seen without it, unless on Earth.

Uriel enjoys wielding the same sword. For him, the sword has a red hue and the blade bursts into flames at his touch. The fire consumes things at a rapid pace, as if they were covered in flammable oil, and Uriel can use it to call storms.

Before the sword was Michael’s, it belonged to Lucifer. He only had it when he was an angel, and this was before a time when all archangels were given specific tools. As an angel, the sword acted the same as it does with Michael now, the only difference being that it had a golden hue. Now, should Lucifer wield the sword, it drips with angel blood—which is particularly ironic, as angel blood is painfully effective against demons.

RAPHAEL

His tool is a large staff that grants him extra power when he uses healing magic. Raphael is known to be a healer, and can do so on his own, the staff only gives him extra perks. He also has the ability to create shields of light with it, and cast an area of healing effects.

People other than archangels are able to wield tools, too. For example, when Mrithun uses the staff, it transforms into a spear with a red-hued blade. Like Michael’s sword, cuts become explosive. It cannot double as a healing tool in this regard, unless returned to Raphael.

GABRIEL

Gabriel has a few symbols to his name, but his tool is a shining lantern that hangs at the end of a staff, usually sported by a bouquet of lilies. When wielded by him, it glow brighter as he speaks with praise and good news, and dimmer if he brings negative news. However, ever since his vow of silence, the lantern no longer burns and the lilies stay closed. He still carries it with him in many places, but the aura of righteousness has disappeared from it.

When others use it, it typically acts as a truth-seeker, burning brightly when the speaker tells the truth and dimly when they don’t. While it can transform into other things based on the user, a truth-seeker is the most common iteration.

URIEL

While not used by him often, his tool is a scroll of wisdom. It’s mostly used to indirectly serve humans, acting as an automatic translator, a paper mirror for symbolism, or even a way to speak to God and other saints/angels directly, where their thoughts are transmitted onto the paper.

Some more Minecraft doodles

First pic are some design ideas for His World’s Herobrine, Enity, and Alex. Still working on Alex’s and Steve’s designs but I’m p happy with Hero and Entity so far :)

Second pic is just more Entity and Steve.

Some fanart UзU

First pic is of Aloy and best man Erend from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Second pic has a few things. Top row is a concept for Tumor, a voidan character in Epilogue. He has an eye in his mouth, but should he need his mouth to attack, he’ll bite down on it and destroy it, rendering himself blind. It regenerates after a while. Then there’s a little Mrithun to the left, the main three from COTM at the bottom, and in the middle is an SCP security guard wiht 096 to his right.

A few things that didn’t go together

First is a general synopsis of COTM, or what it used to be. All of it is getting rewritten so none of that is really canon anymore.

Second is Raphael, Mrithun, and a God Power interacting and being bros

AHOS doodles

First pic shows the size difference between Daystar Powers and God Powers. While Daystar Powers (Mrithun) are smaller and speedier (and also can’t speak), God Powers are bigger and beefier.

Second pic has a little brotherly love, with Michael and Lucifer hugging—something they rarely ever do in-canon. Then Uriel and Luce acting how they always would in-canon. Uriel’s line is from Left 4 Dead 2.
