Old (previous) angels

Mother Iskayah - the man the myth, a bloodthirsty Power whose halo is in liquid form inside him. Most well known for being Ngahs mother, a role he undertook at the brink of death after being brutalized by a group of demons as vengeance. He died within her first year of life, but was popularly known as one of the strongest Powers and a destructive force to the point of liability among the other angels due to his affinity for the art of battle and reveling in being able to kill. He enjoyed many a pleasure in life, though never expressed pain or weakness, and considered his death by the cradle an honorable way to go, and his creation Ngah to be his greatest achievement yet.

Professor Tapestry - The previous holder of Kxxxtrs halos, the high angel of the Archivists at the time. Well known for his teachings and numerous contributions and management of the Archivists, earning him the Professor title. He was a gentle and finely spoken angel with rarely any controversy to his name as he tried to favor multiple perspectives in writing rather than fostering arguing about "Truest" information, believing in the readers ability to critically assess the text - and perhaps more importantly culling constant arguing amongst the scholar angels, something they were extremely prone to do. When it came time to usher in their heirs, Prof. Tapestry failed to create another viable, living angel, which devastated him as he had failed a direct order from the throne. Speculations didn't go anywhere but it may have been angelic equivalent to fertility issues. He gave up both his halos to the throne in exchange for it creating another high angel in return, and thus ceased to exist, making way for Kxxxtr.

Virtue Jheviko - the high virtue who believed in the emotional detachment of all things surface level and earthly, such as emotions and pleasures, and focused on cosmic cultivation and teachings of ascension. Jheviko had a tendency to be fussy, something e worked on during er lifetime, and was ashamed to have Ezekiel, er creation, turn out the way he did - in opposite to er, very fleshy, mortal looking and emotional. Jheviko often created shame around Ezekiels body and instructed him to cover himself up for chastitys sake (how detached and virtuous of er..). E was partly blinded by young Ngah in her rage and grief, in one of her many outbursts. Jheviko lived a relative amount of time after the new generation was made, culminating in er eventually becoming a patch of starry night sky residing in parts of heaven. Most of it has dissipated and spread out since then, no longer holding it's shape.

Imium - mother to no new angels, they were the high guardian of heaven for a notable amount of time. Suspicious of the thrones sudden order to create heirs, they faked being unable to create one to see what would happen and (guilt ridden) stayed by Tapestrys side to support him in his failure. Indeed the cloudborn Imium continued to exist long into Ngahs legacy, living the furthest of the previous high angels though being relegated to a semi unofficial High angel and continuing their work among the guardians quietly. They persisted until Ezekiels banishment, at which point they joined him as many angels disbanded and gave up their physical form to help Ezekiel create his new home and sanctuary, seeing it as the fitting sacrifice and atoning for their disobedience back in the day, wanting to benefit the new generation in a way that mattered.

Mini bio: Iskayah

Iskayah was a Power angel back in the day, and is the mother of Ngah. He was known for his lust for violence and bombastic personality, and though respected he was often destructive to even allies and other angels kept a wide berth when on the field. As vengeance, he was once captured by a group of demons and cut in half with a special sword called The White Blade. He survived this incident long enough to create Ngah and pour the last of his power into her, before passing away. A biological quirk of his is that his halo was in liquid form inside his body, which was a great strength until the halving incident. He deeply adored Ngah in the short time they had together, and urged her to become powerful.

Explaining this post

While they were around at the same time periods Hart and Iskayah never directly met. I just thought it'd be fascinating if Iskayah was magically brought back to life and I've mentally thought about different interactions with different characters for that bc I find Iskayah a fascinating and fun character and I think Hart would be drawn to him and he'd probably use his charms to use Hart for entertainment and closeness while fantasizing about murdering it for the thrill and honor. No, he doesn't care that the war is over. He's a Power angel bc he's full of bloodlust and fame hunger. He enjoys the act of violence and killing. Hart would fall for this but Iskayah couldn't likely bring himself to kill it bc it's too fun to keep playing and dangling the possibility of tantalisingly being able to do it at literally any time bc this FOUL DEMON literally trusts you and doesn't suspect anything. Ect ect

But they didn't have a dynamic in canon. Hart stayed off the battlefield

Interesting and cool objects

The white blade - also known by fancier names such as The angel's cry, The white death and The divine's apology (Or any Mashup of those). It's a lengthy, crescent shaped blade with an ornate, intricately detailed handle. The handle contains things such as prayers, curses, divine commands and profanity. All of this is carved in small text that can only be read in a very certain way, and only by angels (or very specific demons). Decorations on the handle also include a long haired weeping humanoid, whose hair and tears dissolve into an ocean pattern. By shape, the handle is interesting to grip, seeing as how it's bubbly and bumpy, but it adjusts to the wielder. The blade is of course, pure white, and very reflective, being an almost perfect mirror. It emits light when in the presence of angels, and becomes a sort of liquid material that's hard to describe by scientific terms. The way it adjusts to whoever wields it, is not only by size and whatever limb is used to grip it, but also function. While it's most usually a blade, it can also morph into scissors and a meathook for example. The blade was crafted by an infamous fallen angel who switched sides at a certain point in her life and became the Pride district's Judgement (at the time). The blade was forged specifically after falling, and it's primary purpose was a weapon that could truly hurt angels, in the way only an angel would know how. It was also made specifically safe for demons to use, but to wield it you do require a certain amount of grace and knowledge about the blade. Perhaps the most famous case of the blade's use was to cut the angel Iskayah in half as retribution. After that the blade has been lost, demons argue that the angels stole it and the angels argue that it was destroyed during the act. It's current residence is actually in the Void district but only Judgement Hart knows of this. They took it under their care, since the fallen angel was a good friend of theirs.

The sprout of renewal - a slightly larger than average onion bulb, very unassuming and ordinary looking on the surface. It has three small buds emerging from it. It's ambiguous as to what plant the onion is from, most common guesses are leek or tulip. One of the few telling unusual features, is that those who wish to destroy or misuse the Sprout, suffer from it smelling like paralysingly strong garlic. Even if one didn't have a sense of smell, it'll hit your eyes or mouth in some way. Those who wish to use it's powers for good, or are unaware of them, describe no smell emitted from it. The sprout will only grow and flourish in completely dead, barren soil. If planted in normal fertile soil it stays completely unchanged. This is due to it having the power to regrow and revive dead barren lands, and return flourishing flora native to it. Even if planted into a garbage dump, it'll work it's magic and recycle everything in one way or the other, and make it a beautiful greenery. The sprout only has three uses, hence the three buds on it. After that it dissolves into the last place it was used. It'll regrow itself from the resulting plants it caused, but this will take anywhere from 10 to 90 years. If the greenery around it is destroyed beyond salvage during this time though, the sprout will die for good. It's origin is unclear at best. Amongst human legends, the bulb of renewal is considered to be the property of The Slumbering titan Torpor, specifically it's active form, Fervor. Whether she actually owns it or not hasn't been confirmed or denied. The sprout tends to get carted from place to place, obviously due to lots of people wanting to use it.

The Godkiller - a bombastically named scythe, previously known as The golden thorn, and before that known as The rageforged. All the separate names are due to the fact that the scythe has been stolen from user to user multiple times. It's not entirely clear what it's original name and owner was. Although most suspect the original name to be The rageforged, obviously because of the word forged being included in it. It's a relatively short scythe (in scythe standards), which is gold at least in color, material is more complicated to figure out. It's blade is curved a bit at the end, giving it a fish hook shape. The handle ends into a sharp point. A little before the blade begins, the scythe has a row of spikes for extra pain to inflict on whoever it's used, although this also makes it tricky and slightly risky to wield. The scythe isn't known to have any significant supernatural qualities, other than a spell of resilience which guarantees it'll last functional for a long time. The current wielder is the abomination Unjust, who has it attached to her severed arm. She performed the 'operation' herself. She stole it from an entity called Avarice, who is a member of the Dissing order only technically, though not part of the family. Avarice hasn't made significant attempts to get it back, since he also stole it from it's previous wielder, but they have very fiery relations with Unjust. It's more personal, than about the actual object by this point. The current name gives the scythe a largely exaggerated image, since on a large scale it's not actually all that impressive of a weapon, just well known. The reason for the current name is apparently because "It's not telling of what it has done, but it is telling of what it will do".

The shield of neutrality - also known as the Persecutors shield, or more briefly Neutral shield. It's a large, wide shield, possible to be hand-wielded but also attached to the body. It's black in color but has a silver shine to it when light reflects on it. It's not very impressive looking, which is largely intentional. Created to match and combat the staffs hell's high judgements have, to be wielded by the Persecutor. In older times, the Persecutor was partially in charge of governing the neutral district but the practice has been lost to time. The shield remained nonetheless and was in active use up until a few generations ago, where it was lost due to the unexpected passing of it's current wielder. Of course others see it as lost, but High judgement Hart has it in their possession, tucked away and forgotten somewhere. The shield is only slightly newer than the staffs, having been created a bit after them due to political conflict. Symbolically it's purpose and meaning is to shield it's wielder from any harmful biases others may try to inflict on them, to cloud their judgment. It detects lies, or whenever someone is trying to twist the narrative to their benefit. The way it does this is autonomously moving closer to it's wielder, and sort of bucking at the direction of whoever is trying to distort the situation. As if protecting it's user. It can become scalding hot or freezing cold depending on what's needed. It's, quite obviously, a very effective shield against the judgement staffs. Regardless of the wielders strength or ability, it cannot be broken by any of them. It's not invincible of course, as a shield it physically has it's limits, but it specifically will not take a scratch of damage from the judgment staffs. If it detects it's wielder to be injured or unable to move it on their own, it moves by itself at least for as long as the Persecutor is alive. A few stumbling blocks to the shield is that it tends to detect most all biases, harmful or neutral. The Persecutors have been trained extremely carefully to detect which is which (according to whatever code of honor they've had at the time). But oftentimes it's really not up to the shield to decide what perspective should and shouldn't affect the Persecutors decision, unless it's something actively malicious or destructive. Nonetheless it works as a tool to aid the so called Neutral Judgment, and not only to make sure justice occurs for the doomed souls, but also the inhabitants of hell itself
