| Description | Malakhim appear to be children with a candle on their heads and the history of the world on their souls. Their lips are uniquely indented. 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. Malakhim are imbued with radiance, sound, and the Divine might of Euphony. 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 malakhim that aura is pure radiant sound. All angels also communicate directly to the souls of the faithful or those who have not been wholly corrupted. |
| Scribe | Scribe malakhim have powers that aide them in the administration of their domains. They have a pen made from bits of their candles, called a stylus. A malakh's stylus has the power to write beautiful, perfect music. They have an oculus power that allows them to see sound itself. They also have an aspectu, which is their power to see and understand the textures and components of sound with a listen. 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 malakhim's powers aide them in spreading the Word of Euphony. They bear a trumpet called a lituus, which brings unity and connection to those who hear its clarion beauty and deafening pain to those who seek to disrupt community. Their cross, or crucis, sings euphonic songs that ring out forever. And their scrolls bear the Word, which inspires song and dance and love in those who hear or read it. Herald malakhim have a capio, or required task, which requires them to spread harmony and togetherness. As they do this, they become stronger. Their auditus allows them to hear everything, and their infundere allows them to infuse musical skill into those they can hear. 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 malakhim 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 sings and dances of its own accord and reverberates with radiant sound, and their scutum lets no disruption or disconnection pass its barrier. Their auditus allows them to hear perfectly. They have a presence called a coram, which repels discordance and washes away silence. 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 malakhim protect innocents and followers of Euphony. 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 malakhim have a power called teneo, which allows them to absorb discordance to protect their ward. Their auditus allows them to hear perfectly, and their augere power allows them to increase the harmony 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 sends a wave of powerful, beautiful sound. |
| Lord | Lord malakhim are the most powerful of all angels. Their very presence exudes power. This is called coram. For lord malakhim, their presence is one of euphony, allowing them to fill the world around them with beautiful song and bring people together. 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 31 |
| Service | Malakhim serve Euphony. Scribe malakhim administer the work of the Gardens. They keep track of the communities of all the voices and followers of Euphony. They do all of the minor tasks that make the realm of Music and Harmony work. Herald malakhim spread harmony in the world. They leave the Gardens and spread the Word, seeking out those mortals who will do great works of song and dance in the world and empowering them. They also carry messages for Euphony between Her and other Divines. Warrior malakhim are the army of song and harmony. They oppose evil in all its forms and serve as Euphony's defense against the powers of the Infernal. They are a unified and beautiful army led by their Leader Soroliel. Guardian malakhim protect the innocent and followers of Euphony. They exist as protectors. Holier beings sometimes have more than one guardian. They cannot leave their service to their ward, or they fall. Lord malakhim run the Gardens and see to it that all other malakhim are doing as they must. |
