Extremely rare anomalies, Angels are humans that have resisted the demon virus. Where others fall to corruption, their souls not only survive the infection attempt but come out stronger. The chance of this happening is roughly one in two hundred million, making Angels mythical in rarity. Angels retain their humanity while gaining powers and longevity to rival demons. Unlike demons, they do not hunger for souls nor lose their emotions. To the Catholic Church, they are living miracles, though their existence is hidden from the public, as closely guarded as the truth of demons themselves. Angels: - Draw strength from their own soul, not the souls of others. Their energy is self-sustaining but finite. If overused, it risks exhausting their body or will. - Retain their emotions and sense of self, unclouded by corruption. They remain fully human, even while wielding powers beyond humanity. - Cannot be turned into demons, their 'Angelic Energy' is a natural counter to the demonic. - Do not need to eat, drink, or sleep, though unlike demons, they suffer no cravings or phantom hungers. - Live for centuries, aging slowly or not at all once their nature manifests. While a demon could live forever with a steady intake of souls, angels are still just one person relying on their own energy. - Exhibit unique powers that vary by individual, often mirroring or countering demonic abilities. - Are unimaginably rare. Most people with the potential to become angels have lived and died without any contact with demonism. ![[Pasted image 20250828124012.png]]
