Seraphim


Written by Drackzahn
Some may call them gods, as they rule over the creation of a whole universe. They alone decide who lives and what will be. The Seraphim are who govern in the name of the far higher being.

Career

Qualifications

A Seraphim must be strict, but also merciful. They must have the will to destroy to protect the bigger picture, a big heart, and a strong love for all life. Never should a Seraphim strive for war, as war is not what they do. A Seraphim should be a householder, protecting all the little critters that live within it, and throwing out those that disturb the delicate balance. Nearly all Seraphim are Angel, but this is more of a typical happening due to their status as the protectors of the multiverse and not a must-be for any Seraphim.

Career Progression

Each Seraphim is selected by hand by Gaia. Typically, they were Archangels before and have proven that they can make the necessary decisions, but it is not a necessity. To be able to pull Gaia's attention to themselves, they either have proven themselves worthy enough to be in the pool when the next universe is created or a position becomes free, or they have doomed themselves with foolish actions.

Other Benefits

Seraphim are often seen as gods, which is not far from the truth. The supreme goddess can only negate their word Gaia and it decides about the life and death of whole galaxies. There are only very few positions in the multiverse that holds more power than them and it is not uncommon that the primitives of the universe worship the Seraphim as part of their pantheon. Being a Seraphim also means having trust and direct contact with Gaia. This alone is payment enough for many angels, as they see Gaia not only as their ruler but also as the mother figure of their whole society.

Perception

Purpose

Seraphim govern a universe and are the ones deciding its fate. They must fulfill the will of Gaia and hold the peace for all life in their given universe. They decide how their given universe should be, how many species are allowed to exist in each galaxy, or which one becomes a threat to life and must be exterminated. Their word is final for their universe and can only be negated by Gaia herself. The profession is mostly one of making the final decisions and overseeing the work of their chosen Archangels. Altogether, the Seraphim form a council that advises Gaia on more significant questions for the multiverse.

History

After the War in Heaven, Gaia reformed the Fallen Angel Empire society and with it, founded the new government system. Overseeing the whole multiverse was impossible for Gaia, even as a goddess. She chose to select trusted angels, who would govern in her name and these became the Seraphim. With each new universe created, a new Seraphim position needed to be filled. In rare cases, a Seraphim may have proven that they are not able to fulfill their given task and were removed from their position by Gaia. This happened only a very few limited times.
