Where did God and the angels all go? Did they make a new earth with humans and stuff?

Angels went back to their plane of existence and their job currently is to maintain everything and keep it going - scattering souls to the stars, ensuring blessings and miracles are given to the right people at the right time, etc.

God on the other hand has moved on to some other part of the universe to start some new project with a few of his most trusted angels (Michael, Uriel, etc.). Whatever they're doing isn't known to anyone other than them...

How would you describe the void and heaven's location in relation to earth? Are they in a different dimension or in the sky or something else?

They all exist in the same universe but on different planes/dimensions. Humans can't access either the Void or Heaven, but mimics and angels can pull aside the fabric of reality to enter through to the physical plane where Earth exists.

Whilst in the Void/Heaven, a mimic/angel can see into the physical plane though it looks a little different. They can see more than a human can. For example, an angel is able to see the additional glow in the stars that signifies a dead human's soul that was scattered there. And a mimic is able to see strong negative emotions if they're powerful enough - they hang over people/places like a thick black miasma. Once in the physical realm, mimics and angels can still see these things but they take a bit longer to come into focus and they have to be specifically looking for it.

what's michael doing in heaven? does she like to gossip or is she all serious? any hobbies she do during her free time, if any? how did michael create Roomie and for what reason?

Michael is pretty serious and is pretty much The Angel in Heaven since Lucifer was thrown out. She upholds the word and virtues of God and doesn't suffer fools lightly. Angels don't really have 'free time', they're pretty much always working! One of the aspects that Michael is in charge of is determining who gets a miracle and who doesn't. God doesn't hand them out freely or easily so it is her job to divine who is important to God's 'Plan' in some way and ensure that they get a chance should anything unfortunate befall them.

As for that AU, angels pretty much 'reproduce' for the sake of populating Heaven so they have enough celestial bodies to work all the jobs required, there's no real parental bond involved, but some angels do stay in contact with their offspring, especially if they happen to be working in the same area as them. Usually though, the hierarchy determines that those at the top (Archangels like Michael) don't really talk to those beneath them unless it's to give orders.

AHEM *cracks knuckles*

So like how do angels work. What’s the hierarchy. What’s the powers. Would it be possible for em to go down to earth and just see what humans are up to?? Has any of em ever done that before?? Are they into gossip.

Angels used to come down to earth, but it doesn't happen anymore and hasn't since Archangel Gabriel went missing. They would go down to give premonitions/messages from God before He further distanced Himself from His creation. Sometimes they would just go to covertly oversee events and document their happenings (like wars and the tower of Babylon, etc.). When God called all His angels back to Heaven, they stopped visiting, but they sometimes still influence goings on - like the miracle granted to Mark in Part 6 - but only when God gives the order for them to.

Currently, Lucifer is the only angel still on earth which is where he was banished to by God and Archangel Michael after his Fall

Is there a hierarchy of archangels? Also what jobs/tasks do they have and do they have different jobs?

There is a sort of hierarchy, but it's more based on the age of the angel and the type that they are as it affects their capabilities. Angels like Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer, and Uriel are all Seraphim which were the first kind of angel God created and thus some of the most powerful, so they have the title of Archangel to reflect that.

There are three other types of angel: cherubim, ophanim, and standard angels.

Ophanim are just behind the seraphim in terms of age and they tend to hold the title of Powers and Dominions.

Cherubim are the next youngest and hold the Virtues and Principalities titles.

Standard angels were the last to be made and more often than not hold no titles, though some have worked their way up to the title of Orderly through being recognised for significant positive contributions.

Whilst Heaven and the angelic hierarchy won't be explored in depth in the main HTB story (though it will appear in Lucifer's backstory in Part 6), I might revisit it at a later point with a short story/spin off story set in the same universe? :D

What was daily life like for the angels before that one time in the garden of Eden?

Each angel had a set job to do - God didn't make everything all by Himself as He allocated a lot of the work to keep the angels busy whilst He worked on His important personal project (creating humans). For example, Lucifer's job was to craft the stars and constellations: he loved hiding pictures in the stars for people to one day find and map out. Gabriel, his twin, assisted him for a while and, together, they ensured that God's will was done by making a beautiful space for souls to go when they die (human souls are cast out to the stars upon death, they don't go to Heaven and Hell and Purgatory don't exist, they're just human inventions lol). After a while, when there were only a few bits and pieces left for Lucifer to do, Gabriel was called to help with the Eden project instead by guarding one of the gates. There are a vast number of angels and all of them had different tasks to fulfil, Uriel had the job of documenting everything that happened, how it happened and when it happened down to the nanosecond. And these are just a few examples of the thousands of tasks that needed to be done and are still being done! :)

Where did heaven go after they left :C

Heaven still exists! But it's only accessible to God and non-exiled angels.
