[Shortly after the tragic falls from grace- the Ether was sent into a state of great disarray,] humanity was only barely blooming and 1/3 of the angel population was severed either willingly or unwillingly from the heavens. Lady Eden could not manage her domain all by herself, when push came to shove- she decided that it would be best to form a team of 8 to watch over her realm by her side, speak as her voice, and to ensure that all is well not just from the Ether, but also upon ARA as well.

   [THE COUNCIL consists of 8 angels,] more specifically- 4 Archangels, 3 Thrones, 2 Cherubs, and 1 Seraph. This group of high ranking angels are the representatives of the angelic population, they serve to protect and banish evils that target the wellbeing of the mortal planet. Lady Eden is a very busy woman, she cannot do her job alone- of course- but she entrusted this group to serve as the face of morality and to also serve angels, ensuring their safety and preparing them for anything.

   [Metatron]is the [SERAPH], the head of the council itself, they are merciful and jolly- holding the alias as [THE SHEPARD], and more often called [Shepard] than their given name, they lead the population, they serve as Heaven's face: expressing warmth and love,,,even if they may really be less than tolerant and slowly bubbling with rage, they might snap tbh,,,

   [Hannibal] and [Baraqiel] are the two [CHERUBS] that speak words of wisdom, these two are like the sun and moon: [Hannibal], the [BELL BRINGER], is soft spoken and elegant, she may not speak much but when she does she has a point to it. [Baraqiel] is the [STORM DANCER], lively and in tune with angels all around, they are energetic and bombastic- creating a space of comfort for the civil servants and understanding their point of view. These two do an excellent job at speaking for the people when bringing the population's opinion to meetings, they also are not shy to bringing in insightful quips when the time comes. They serve as Heaven's heart: security in the form of fact and feeling.

   [Prudence], [Equity], and [Judgement] are the three [THRONES], sitting at the table- often their job is to ensure that there is order and impartiality within the heavenly loft, listening to issues and serving what Eden would see fit and just, not only that- but they decide whether an Angel is suitable to rise the ranks, determining if they have fallen from grace, determining if a law is passed or not, etc. These three are Heaven's mind: Casting judgement in the name of what is best and what is good.

   [Uriel], [Michael], [Gabriel], and [Raphael] are the four [ARCHANGELS]. They are the warheads- generals of war and often flocking to ARA to carry out their work, blending in with mortals and getting a firsthand look of the land and surveying if there are any [DEMONS] to exterminate. [Uriel] is a renown swordswoman, she is the [GATE GUARDIAN], laid back but always on guard with a flaming sword. [Michael] is the [FAITHFUL KNIGHT], Lady Eden's right hand and unwavering follower, he is strategic and always striving to becoming stronger. [Gabriel] is dubbed the [MESSENGER] as he oversees a postal service on ARA, but this isn't for anything niche, this is in the name of surveilling the planet as angels act as postal service workers, not only that- but he himself assigns missions to choirs form Eden herself. And finally- [Raphael], the [HIGH PREIST], he is the youngest of these four and the younger brother to [Michael] and [Gabriel]. Best known for his advanced miracles and tactics in healing, he teaches lower ranking angels how to better cast magic. These four are Heaven's hands: carrying service to the mortal planet and protection as they lead wars against the infernals.

   [Carefully picked and adored by heaven,] they do their best to listen to the needs of their fellow angels and bring peace to the planet and their realm.
