| Description | Hafaza appear to be flower-covered angels with three wings, always in pairs, always at the shoulders of those they appear to. 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. Hafazas are imbued with radiance, hope resonance , and the Divine might of Redemption. Some have Elysian energies. 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 hafazas that aura is redeeming radiance that empowers the meek. All angels also communicate directly to the souls of the faithful or those who have not been wholly corrupted. |
| Scribe | Scribe hafazas 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 hafaza's stylus has the power to write the redemptive path of any who has fallen. They have an oculus power that allows them to see opportunities. They also have an aspectu, which is their power to see and understand the history of a person 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 hafaza's powers aide them in spreading the Word of Redemption. They bear a trumpet called a lituus, which instills hope in the meek, innocent, or righteous, and absolution in the fallen. It will deafen the irredeemable. Their cross, or crucis, fills those who see it with confidence if they are meek and repels the unjust. And their scrolls bear the Word, which inspires a need to redeem themselves in those who have fallen or sinned if they read or hear it, and heartens those who have not. Herald hafazass have a capio, or required task, which requires them to spread redemption. As they do this, they become stronger. Their oculus allows them to see esteem, and their infundere allows them to infuse hope and ability into the rightfully esteemed. 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 hafazas 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 can strike down the corrupt, and their scutum shines with hope's light. Their oculus allows them to see emotions. They have a presence called a coram, which empowers those near them. 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 hafazas protect the meek and followers of Redemption. 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 hafazas have a power called teneo, which allows them to absorb corruption to protect their ward. Their oculus allows them to see despair and temptation, and their augere power allows them to increase the hope 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 empowers the meek and weakened. |
| Lord | Lord hafazas are the most powerful of all angels. Their very presence exudes power. This is called coram. For lord hafazas, their presence is one of liberation, allowing them to destroy any bonds that hold down the meek, hurt, or innocent. 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 28 |
| Service | Hafazas serve Redemption. Scribe hafazas administer the work of the Gardens. They keep track of the corrupted, the meek, and the redeemed of all mortals and followers of Redemption. They do all of the minor tasks that make the realm of Hope and Grace work. Herald hafazas spread redemption in the world. They leave the Gardens and spread the Word, seeking out those mortals who will do great works of redemption and empowerment in the world and empowering them. They also carry messages for Redemption between Her and other Divines. Warrior hafazas are the army of Hope and Liberation . They oppose evil in all its forms and serve as Hope's defense against the powers of the Infernal. They are a graceful, capable army led by their leader Idabea. Guardian hafazas protect the meek and followers of Redemption. They exist as protectors. Holier beings sometimes have more than one guardian. They cannot leave their service to their ward, or they fall. Lord hafazas run the Gardens and see to it that all other hafazas are doing as they must. |
