I've been thinking of updating my angel ocs. Its been 84 years since I've thought of them, mostly because I haven't been working on any modern worlds. But lately, I've been reading quite a few modern settings, so here we go!
Maliel is getting renamed to Malrim. They were an angel of creation with the sole task of guarding frogs. Specifically, the free toed species known as Coqui. They may have had a hand in making them. But it was so long ago as to be forgotten. Mal just takes the duty of frog protection very seriously.
Osriel used to be an angel of destruction. Tasked with bringing the end times, but unable to bring themself to do it. They fell in love with the world, and that is what led them to falling. Now, they serve as a protector for humanity. Taking odd jobs to help people in their time of need. They run a private investigator agency called "Against the Wall," In which they solve weird crimes that no one believes are happening or the police won't touch. They often have to work between other fallen angel networks like "The Hand that Feeds" or "Devil's Advocate."
The Hand That Feeds
A network of free moving angels tied to no gods. They work for themselves in order to help themselves continue to be free. Usually, keeping to the shadows and having eyes on agents of gods. For example, keeping track of their movements and collecting any tips fallen angels may need to stay hidden. The Hand doesn't want gods to know they exist, but also doesn’t support extremists like demons going against the gods. The hand sells information, divine technology, runes, halos, and divine upgrades for a price. Any fallen angel knows that gold, silver worldly coins, have no real value... but memories. Memories are the threads that tie a person to a place in the world. Buying and selling moments in time are the most valuable things to an angel or a demon. Sometimes whole people's place in the world can be bought and sold. Souls, as mortals tend to call it, are the most valuable thing to a fallen angel just trying to survive.
Rumors among extremist groups are that the hand is actually run by a god.
Devil's Advocate
Fallen angels that are aligned with Demons. They deal in the sale of souls and contracts between humans and the fallen. They are outworldly the most classically Devil like. They seem to show up when a mortal is most desperate for aid. Silver tongued with promises of the impossible made possible. Be sure if you signed their contract you will get what you want.
But don't think it doesn't come without strings attached. In fact, it is highly likely The Fallen orchestrated the whole event from the beginning, all in a rouse to get you to sign away your soul. Particularly the Fallen who have been at the game for a long time and can manipulate many people at once. This is often why demon "hauntings" tend to have no proof around them.
They can be considered the arms dealers of the underworld. Buying and selling parts of souls to demons to secure their place in the Devil's future.
Still have more lore coming!
