| Description | Dominatios appear to be beautiful humans with feathered swan wings. Orbs of light don their sceptres or swords. Their feet never touch the ground. |
| Procreation | As permitted by their leaders, only with each other. |
| Esoterica | All angels gain power from the Divine they serve. They are made of heavenly light, and therefore, all of their powers are filtered through that energy. Dominatios are imbued with pure heavenly light and the Divine might of Benevolence. Other powers vary and are limited in their uses, but unholy powers are impossible. |
| Special Powers | Each kind of angel has special powers based on their function in service to their Divine. All angels have a holy aura. For dominatios that aura is pure heavenly light that repels evil. All angels also communicate directly to the souls of the faithful or those who have not been wholly corrupted. |
| Scribe | Scribe dominatios have powers that aide them in the administration of their domains. They have a pen made from one of their feathers, called a stylus. A dominatio's stylus has the power to script justice for one soul. They have an oculus power that allows them to see on the metaphysical level. They also have an aspectu, which is their power to see and understand the consequences and intentions behind an action with a glance. All scribes understand any non-evil language and have the power to understand their Divine's judgment of a mortal and inscribe it upon the scrolls of Heaven. |
| Herald | Herald dominatio's powers aide them in spreading the Word of Benevolence. They bear a trumpet called a lituus, which brings joy to the virtuous, pain to the sinful, and both to most mortals. Their cross, or crucis, obliterates evil beings if it touches them. And their scrolls bear the Word, which instill benevolence in those who read or hear them. Herald dominatios have a capio, or required task, which requires them to spread benevolence among mortality. As they do this, they become stronger. Their oculus allows them to see on a metaphysical level, and their infundere allows them to infuse virtue into the souls they can see. Heralds can appear anywhere, though if they appear in unholy areas, it can hurt them. They speak all non-evil tongues. No one who hears their words, or voce, will ever forget them. |
| Warrior | Warrior dominatios have powers that aide them in fighting evil. They bear a sword called a gladius and a shield called a scutum (though their appearances to not necessarily match those terms). Their gladius burns with heavenly fire, and their scutum extends protection from evil to all who stand behind the angel. The shield can be sacrificed to bind evil beings into a single form. Their oculus allows them to see on a metaphysical level. They have a presence called a coram, which repels evil. Warriors gain power through service. For every 1,000 beings of pure evil they destroy, they gain a new power, capping at twelve:
The more evil a foe is, the more attacks a warrior has per round, capping at twelve. |
| Guardian | Guardian dominatios protect innocents and followers of Benevolence. Those they protect cannot see them without esoteric intervention. If their ward's soul is in incredible danger, they can intervene at the cost of their existence. Guardian dominatios have a power called teneo, which allows them to absorb sin to protect their ward. Their oculus allows them to see on a metaphysical level, and their augere power allows them to increase the altruistic impulses in their ward, if need be. Once in the life of their ward, they may physically intervene to protect them, surrounding them with a holy barrier that repels evil. |
| Lord | Lord dominatios are the most powerful of all angels. Their very presence exudes power. This is called coram. For lord dominatios, their presence is one of holy dominion, allowing them to dominate and command all the righteous within their presence. Every lord angel gains power both from serving their Divine and from being served by lesser angels. The gain a new power every Age they exist in service, capping at twelve:

| Weaknesses | Power it takes to instant kill: Infernum 25 |
| Service | Dominatios serve Benevolence. Scribe dominatios administer the work of Heaven. They keep track of the sins and virtues of all mortals and followers of Benevolence. They do all of the minor tasks that make the realm of Justice, Light, and Kindness work. Herald dominatios spread goodness and benevolence in the world. They leave Heaven and spread the Word, seeking out those mortals who will do great works of goodness in the world and empowering them. They also carry messages for Benevolence between Her and other Divines. Warrior dominatios are the army of Benevolence and Justice. They oppose evil in all its forms and serve as Heaven's defense against the powers of the Infernal. They are a rigid, disciplined army led by their Queen Muriel. Guardian dominatos protect the innocent and followers of Benevolence. They exist as protectors. Holier beings sometimes have more than one guardian. They cannot leave their service to their ward, or they fall. Lord dominatios run Heaven and see to it that all other dominatios are doing as they must. |
