Angel Appearences - Tumblr Posts
Sorry :"D Oh shit, I was trying to think of and think through an extension of my thought [angels dbs "eldritch space creatures" that Zeno called Leviathans (that's not the biblical fire-breathing sea serpent that's usually in legends) just because it sounds cool and intimidating, also something rare and powerful] (although the leviathan form from Final Fantasy looks interesting, I admit) I mean the angels' actual cosmic form is an indescribable shit, galactic cosmic shadowy "mass"? It changes constantly (also at their will), can open a large number of eyes over on body and around body, forms the likeness of an animal's paws and tail??? A real brain and eye game. We need to think about this a little more so we don't turn the Angels into Marty Sue.
Gods of destruction sometimes see the true form of angels, and even if they've been familiar with it for a long time, somewhere deep inside themselves their brains react to it as an unholy creepy horror that transcends time and space and it all the same partially scares them
Perhaps I've taken too much for this, and should I just write "stellar shadow mass/stellar shadow body or astral mass" without details in my possible fanfic so readers can imagine for themselves what angels are?
lol, even I can't explain the visual appearance of angels properly, It seems that this is how it should be And lol, the 2Universe thinks the leviathan Daishinkan is very beautiful, it looks funny. It's literally Heles squinting at the GP's "form" trying to see the details, comparing it to Sour open form and just going: "well, I don't know what's in front of me now, but I'll admit that your father looks handsome and elegant"
What I would say that having some details revealed would be good to show more of the mystery of the Angels' appearances. So to introduce them as "stellar shadow mass/body or an astral body" with some details such as physical features (e.g. many eyes, many hands), an aura or how their eldritch form effect the environment for example, does their appearance make it much colder, the objects became blurrier, another dimension could be made so it does not damage parts of the universe? "It changes constantly (also at their will), can open a large number of eyes over on body and around body, forms the likeness of an animal's paws and tail??? A real brain and eye game." is a perfectly fine description of the angels' appearance, I got chills reading that, you got this.
Teasing the reader with an established base like this so their imaginations about the Angels' appearence can fly. If the destroyers/hakaishins could barely comphehend and handle the Eldritch form, it is beyond what a mortal could understand, their lifetime is not enough to understand the small percentage of it.
What could also help is to explore how their appearence impact others and what are the others' feelings about it. Like at least the destroyers won't go too mad with power over their universe and subjects in that universe/domain and don't get too far as the image of the angels true form in the back of the mind. It's perfect that is to prevent destroyers seriously fight to the death.
I believe the Angels can have multiple forms developed over millions of years and some, billions of years, perhaps they could still form their new ultimate form, hidden away unless ordered by Daishinkan and Zeno to reveal it or allow them to use it in some circumstances.
One of my idea of their true form is they are a host of multiple deities under their control, most of them are former destroyers when they retire from their duties. Longer the angel been in duty as a guide angel, more of the former destroyers they collect and inherit their abilities as well, as part of the ritual of how the mortals become the destroyer. The exception to that is when the destroyer gets killed or get erased by the Grand Minister/Zeno that is when the angels deactivated and will not able to collect any more destroyers, they keep what destroyers they have in their form. An interesting bond for an exchange for godhood. That explains we don't see any former destroyer around.
You are right it's hard to describe the visual appearance, it's truly beyond us hahaha. Oh yeah, Heles after meeting leviathan Daishinkan may or may not forget next time she sees him and her universe could adopted some leviathan elements in her universe, Sour approves xD
