like xrafstar, angels need a human to possess. that is the rule of the universe: no 'monsters', only humans. I'm sure the rule has violations, or “thing that was human but no longer recognizable as such”, but generally things must swim through flesh, must choose or be tricked, must be “in play.” I also doubt the existence of angels as a separate entity which is merged into a human. angels have no souls. it is more of an infection, an “angel flora”. what is the difference between Manichaean light particles and bacteria?

in keeping with the Iranian influence, angels have peacock feathers. interestingly, Ahriman created the peacock as a flex to show he could make beautiful things, he just chose not to. which makes it a beguiling and ambiguous symbol. and of course peacocks are a very alien being which does not correspond to any known animal. angels are the only being which has “feathers”, which are a type of crystalline hair?

people who become angels grow allergic to sin and their genitals begin to disappear. this can be very distressing.
the difference between “angel” and “fairy” and “xrafstar (whether fly, bee, wasp, etc)” can be distorted by history, folklore, etc.
were the flies angels? did they torture, kill, and replace them? or both?
