Each angel has a human form and an angelic form. They can only choose one or the other unless they are an archangel. For example, Latvatiel, an angel of punishment, can either take the form of a phoenix or her human form while Hemah, an archangel of punishment, can take the form of his angelic form, his human form, or just bits from each one like his human can have a cat tail or canary wings.
Angelic forms are never just their human body with wings. In fact, most of the forms are quite disturbing.
All archangels are either seraphim, cherubim, or thrones. These three types of angels all have set angelic forms, which you can read below.
Some angels and demons have the ability to read thoughts or make people tell the truth. This only works with humans.
Most angels have a name that ends with el, iel, or ael, because el means "of god"
There are a series of four choirs in the Angelic Order, the first one having the most interaction with god while the fourth has more interactions with the earthly realm
First Choir
This choir rarely ever leaves the heavens and assist in divine acts. They have no human form.
Supernals
These angels are viewed as a large orb of gold light and are known for assisting angels in becoming aware of the wisdom of all things
Celestials
These angels are viewed as a large orb of silver light and are known as the connectors of Divine Thought and Wisdom
Illuminations
These angels are viewed as a large orb of iridescent light and are known for accomplishing emulations of divine light and wisdom throughout the physical realms.
Second Choir
Seraphim
These angels are viewed as six wings of light with eyes in their angelic form. However, only the Lord and Michael can look upon them in their angelic state. Some of their angelic duties would be keeping divinity in perfect order, carrying positive energy in the physical realms, and guarding various universes.
Cherubim
There are many varieties of angelic forms within the cherubim. The first of which is a humanoid bull with four wings. They may also have an eagle or sphinx (lion) humanoid) form. The other form the cherubim may have is a peacock feather bearing a host of eyes. Cherubim hold the knowledge of Heaven and have been known to enlighten lesser orders of angels, watch over galaxies, guard fixed stars, keep the Celestial records, and protect God's creations.
Thrones
These angels are viewed as great wheels covered with many eyes and glowing with light. Some of their duties are bringing justice, keeping higher more expanded energies, and channeling and collecting incoming and outgoing positive energies.
Third Choir
Dominations
These angels have no set angelic form, but they are always seen in green and gold in their human form. They are basically the middle man and "rule" over all the angelic orders while regulating the duties of the lower angels.
Virtues
These angels are large, shadowy beings that generate lots of light in their angelic form. Some of their angelic duties are to commune with the stars, bestow grace and valor to the worthy, move large amounts of spiritual energy to the physical realm, and preside over the elements and heavenly bodies (stars, planets, etc.). They also love go-getters.
Powers
These angels are basically the police in the Angelic Order. They were created during Lucifer's rebellion and unable to fall. They are led by Uriel and seen in the colours of green and gold, usually wielding a flaming sword. Some of their other duties include gathering information, keeping human history, guarding heavenly paths, and organising religions.
Fourth Choir
Principalities
These angels are known to become patrons of whole areas, cities, or counties and become guardians over large groups and continents, countries, cities, United Nations, etc.
Archangels
All archangels are also part of the second choir, and they are able to mix their human and angelic forms together.
Angels
This group has been known to commune with various life forms in the physical world and inspire thoughts and ideas.
Guardian Angels
A subgroup of the Angels, guardian angels join us at birth and pass messages to relevant parties as needed as well. They can also be assigned to places and nations as well.
