Archon (AR-kon)

Archons are ancient Celestialian beings, existing even before gods. They hail from Heaven. Archons prioritize the greater good, understanding that individual desires may need to be sacrificed against chaos and evil and though sometimes seen as authoritarian, they are compassionate towards good beings and even tolerate lawful evil creatures. Only those who disregard both law and goodness are considered irredeemable. Within Celestia and Arcadia, they train spirits and find joy in their work and camaraderie.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Archons arise in three ways: created by heavenly deities, transformed from chosen mortals, or born from Heaven's pure essence and mortals who answer the archons' call become champions of justice after pledging an oath. These chosen ones rise through the ranks, mirroring their progress in the structure of Heaven itself. It should be mentioned that powerful mentors guide them, spreading goodness across the multiverse, with a focus on the Material Plane. Most new archons start as "ring archons" and evolve with acts of purity and good deeds. This evolution isn't linear, reflecting their unique personalities.

Civilization and Culture

Average Technological Level

Archons build impressive, symmetrical fortresses on Heaven's peaks, representing order and permanence. Lush farmlands and organized settlements surround these fortresses. Most archons reside on the second and sixth levels of Heaven. There are many Outposts exist beyond Heaven, strategically placed to confront threats directly.

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Archons are ideal soldiers, working seamlessly together, recognizing each other's strengths, and fulfilling their roles without complaint. They do prefer inspiring mortals to be virtuous, believing a prepared populace is the best defense against future threats. They sometimes disguise themselves as legendary knights to inspire those around them. Against pure evil like Demons and Devils, they fight directly, leading armies of thousands.
Their battles are honorable but not reckless; commanders have clear goals and avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

Common Taboos

While paragons of good, archons struggle with those who don't follow their strict morals. They believe justice and law are essential for genuine good to flourish. This often puts them at odds with the more chaotic good azatas, despite their shared dedication to good.

History

The first archons emerged from Celestia itself, calling out to worthy mortals to join them in a heavenly utopia.

Average Physique

Archons come in diverse shapes: some resemble winged humans, others are animalistic or even abstract forms. This variety can be confusing to outsiders. Their forms can appear unnatural or frightening to mortals, reflecting their otherworldly nature.
