Angels are the guardians of the Sky Palaces in the Heavens. Angels can send forth lightning and have durable bodies with extreme stamina and strength. They can also fly, create heal bonds*, summon orbiters**, and create Skyhounds***. The problem is, without their wings, Angels cannot do any of those things, and become mortal. After Mortalification****, the only thing they have is their extreme durability.

*Heal bonds allow Angels to gain strength form any nearby Beings of Light
**Orbiters are spheres of electricity that zap anything that approaches.
***Skyhounds are large dogs with fluffy, poofy fur that when ruffled, becomes darker and full of high voltage.
****Mortalification is when a powerful being transfers to mortal form.

Rogues, also known as Angelic Rogue or Deserters, are just what they sound like: An angel that has deserted his or her job. Rogues usually come from low-class workers who are tired of their labored life. The other large fraction of Rogues are high-class and are somewhat bored with their uneventful lives. Rogues usually travel to the mortal world in mortal forms to blend in. Other times, they are obtrusive and stir up myths*. Rogues are not always disgraced by other angelic beings. For example, some famous rogues deserted in times of war as a means of protest.

Angelic Fiends, unlike Rogues, are usually disgraced and hated. These are the angels that do not follow the rules of all angelic beings. Angelic Fiends are declared untrustworthy by the High Emperor, and are hunted down by other angels. Angelic Fiends most of time end up as Rogues (The hated kind) because they want to escape from the Heavens.

*Thus many myths about angels coming from the sky and giving prophecies or precognitive speeches. These were all blabbermouths who said anything to get away.

Archangels are any type of high-ranking official in the Heavens. In fact, some Archangels are not even angels. Some can be dragons! However, Archangels are normally angels. Archangels include the High Emperor, known as the High Archangel, or less commonly as the Archemperor.

Archangels, unlike normal angels are always seen in armor. These powerful angels cannot take off their armor without Mortalizing*. Archangels take a vow while wearing armor to justify their dedication to the good of the heavens. An Archangel's armor can only be taken off by the Archangel themself, anyone with permission, or the High Emperor.

*There is an exception to this however. If an Archangel's wings are ripped off, they Mortalize. However, it is very hard to rip off the wings of a normal angel, much less an Archangel.

Air Raiders are skyfaring pirates who call themselves noble warriors. They believe they fight for a higher cause. Most Air Raiders believe angels are as bad as demons. Air Raiders are split into four groups. The Northern Air Raiders, by far the largest; The Eastern Air Raiders, possibly the most mysterious and most pacifist; The Western Air Raiders, very small after an attempted attack on a Demon Dwelling*; and The Central Air Raiders, who actually work for the King Silvan**. The Southern Air Raiders disbanded after unknown reasons, leaving only four groups left.

*A Demon Dwelling is a designated area where two to eight demons reside. A demon by itself is just a solo. Demons living in groups more than eight live in a Demon Kingdom.

*King Silvan is the current King of Palsarog

Finally, they are here: the terror of Porphyrus. They dwell in Avarog, and the only entrance is through a series of tunnels that are guarded by the Crimson Dragons of Avarog. The safest way to gain entry is through permission.

Demons come in all shapes and sizes; they can be monolithic and enigmatic; they can be gargantuan and terrifying; they can be of infinitesimal size; the possibilities are endless. Many have some features of other creatures. For example, some demons may have the head of a boar. Others may have the mane of a lion or the face of a human.

Demons are usually peaceful, but their origins are unknown. Many mortals speculate that they crawled out of the underworld and began terrorizing human settlements. However, this is simply not true. Most Demons do not want conflict or tension. This can be an exception with angels however, who have a longstanding feud with Demons. Angels are beings of purity and Demons and beings of corruption. Demons bring darkness and destruction where they go. Angels bring light and purity where they go. Naturally, conflict would form between the two groups.

Demons, like Dragons, are shrouded in immensely powerful magic. Their literal being is formed of magic. Irritating a Demon is not a wise action, as it could potentially cause pain for you and your loved ones. Demons have a wide arsenal of spells, curses, and charms that they can use easily. Never trifle with Demons.

Dragons are very much like Demons, but their only nonphysical difference is that Dragons are more majestic and less likely to smash small creatures*. Nonphysical differences aside, Dragons are also larger and have wings. Dragons have strong, magically fortified scales, and often breathe fire or other dangerous things (lightning, poisonous gas, fast-moving beams of sound, etc.).

Dragons have a somewhat larger amount of magic within them than Demons, so they are potentially more dangerous. Dragons are immortal and can only be killed through combat with other dragons, or destruction through a Dragonslayer**. Normal poisons***, and other mortal-killing objects just won't work on them.

*Yes, Demons like to smash small creatures. It's not out of sinister motives or intentions. They just do it to do it.

**A Dragonslayer is a mortal that has killed a dragon. No immortal creature can have the title of a Dragonslayer. Thus being a Dragonslayer is very hard indeed. Few have the ability.

***Normal poisons will not kill a dragon. However, poison created through supernatural means or from a dragon could possibly kill one.
