Harahel

The story of the angel Harahel’s life is a simple one, as with many angels. They were created in Heaven’s development facilities, educated in what passed for schools, and sent to the Angelic Administration due to their great ability when it came to calculations and processing. And there they remained, for millions of years, quietly, obediently doing their task even as war raged outside Heaven’s door, all the way up until their abilities were needed for a routine inspection of a planet outside of Heaven.

Appearance
Initially, in their truest form as an angel, there wasn't much to Harahel, as with much of their kind. In place of any real identifiable body, Harahel's true form was an indistinct light without physical substance, floating in place, a psychic embryo more magic than matter. They retain the signature wings of an angel, as small, arcing tendrils of light, hardly visible in even ideal conditions. Hovering above the light that makes up their form, Harahel's small, bright halo glows, the most distinct part of their immaterial body. However, as Harahel develops an identity beyond the skeleton of a personality that most angels possess, their body becomes more clear, like a silhouette of static, flickering when they process information, with a single pinprick of purple light shining through their existence as information, their careful, observant, discerning eye.

Harahel prefers to appear as the humanoid guise they formed over their true body, finding it more representative of their existence and who they ultimately chose to become. In this form, Harahel is only slightly below average height, but as they usually float above the ground rather than stand they appear to be a few inches taller. Their chubby body is soft and lacking in much definition, and though they appear to be stocky they really don't have any visible muscle. Small, gentle hands are are typically pulled up to their chest if they aren't left to dangle limply at their sides. Their skin is where it becomes clear that they are no normal human, being a pale, almost ashen grey, uniformly colored across their body. Harahel's hair is a long, tangled mess of vivid purple that reaches halfway down their back, with somewhat choppy bangs that are swept to the left, leaving only their right eye visible. Speaking of eyes, Harahel's are a pale shade of purple and are nearly always opened wide, giving them a perpetually curious look, despite the odd emptiness in their eyes. When they focus on processing information or calculations, Harahel's eyes widen even further, but become unfocused. Over their eyes, they wear a simple pair of glasses with circular, purple frames. Slightly pointed ears poke out from their hair, and their halo, just the same as in their true form, hovers above their head. Their large, angelic wings are a pristine white color, with soft, downy feathers that have a few subtle hints of violet.

As an angel, Harahel was really never exposed to fashion for millions of years and it takes them a while to "get" it, but even then, they don't really get it, only going along with the motions. Initially, their wardrobe in their humanoid form was limited to the tabards and robes traditionally worn by angels, in pale colors, but after they're exposed to different types of clothing over time, they begin to pick up a variety of different outfits. However, Harahel still doesn't have much interest in matching clothes and will thus wear absolutely whatever they want, favoring loose, oversized clothing in drab colors. A staple among their many outfits are simple caps, including baseball hats, and pull-up hoodies with dangling sleeves that they roll up when necessary. If they are somehow going without a hoodie, Harahel will still insist on wearing some sort of jacket or sweatshirt, with a preference for jackets with just way more pockets than necessary. Underneath their sweater, Harahel wears simple shirts, such as plain t-shirts, polo or button-up shirts, and shirts with graphics that they absolutely don't understand at all. They'll wear essentially anything when it comes to bottoms, showing their characteristic disregard for fashion. Jeans, sweatpants, shorts, skirts, and even just tights are all fair game. Harahel's wardrobes are generally rounded out in the same way; by thick, fluffy socks and sneakers.

Harahel's appearance further varies when they replicate others, giving them traits from their target's appearance, which slowly increase and fully show themself the more they push and use the replication. During moments of intense stress, Harahel's form flickers like a tv screen, becoming increasingly inconsistent as they take on traits from all the people they've ever analyzed. The most notable change occurs when Harahel replicates Lucifer's inner world, Thaumiel, causing more significant changes off the bat due to Harahel and Lucifer's close relationship. This colors their hair a shade of red, similar in color to Lucifer's, which reddens and intensifies the more Harahel taps into Lucifer's abilities and willpower. Harahel's eyes, however, maintain their color, instead gaining Lucifer's slit pupils. Lucifer's unbroken left horn materializes itself as well, and Harahel's teeth and nails are sharpened. Harahel's phantasmal wings also take the leathery, membranous shape of Lucifer's. Lastly, there's some changes to their outfit, turning their jacket into a more Lucifer appropriate leather affair, and giving them her bandana scarf, wound around their neck, a bit oversized on the smaller Harahel.

Personality
As with many other angels who spent their lives in Heaven, Harahel is a very quiet, peaceful person who enjoys living in such silence. They speak quietly, keeping emotion out of their voice and expressions, in a slow, halting manner, as if they're afraid to raise their voice or speak too quietly. Years of a relatively peaceful existence and Heavenly propaganda has rendered them a naively trusting and innocent person, again like many angels, with a very black-and-white view of the world around them that they steadily begin to confront and overturn. Quite unusual for an angel, however, is Harahel's intensely curious nature, which fills them with questions that go unasked as they look for the answers themself, trying to understand the world through their own efforts. In the end, however, this is the only skeleton of the person they become, as, just like so many other angels, Harahel is a blank slate who never had the chance to truly develop their personality and become their own distinct individual - not until now, at least.

Initially far from outspoken, this is one trait of many that Harahel slowly lessens as they become more confident in themself, talking on their own more and more often instead of waiting to be spoken to first. However, they remain a quiet person at heart, content to work in silence, and they continue to stay mostly silent even during conversations, instead listening intently. Lacking much of an identity, Harahel simply doesn't have a lot to talk about, with ambitions and interests being alien concepts to them, but they gradually pick up more and more topics over time. When Harahel does speak, it is not before spending an often inordinate amount of time thinking out their words. Due to the generally lonesome way days are spent in Heaven, Harahel has little social skills and is incredibly awkward and often even tactless or rude, sometimes leaving mid-conversation because they think that things are done or because they've realized they have something else to do. They also don't have much of an idea of how secrets work, often assuming that others know what they do and talking as if they do with characteristic bluntness.

Curiosity is perhaps Harahel's driving emotion, and what shapes their understanding of the world as they grow. Though filled with questions, they rarely ask them and instead figure out the answers on their own, not wanting to bother others with their need for knowledge. As they become more comfortable with conversation and with their friends, however, Harahel becomes more secure in asking questions, especially with Raziel, even if they still prefer to find the truth on their own. They are a very thoughtful person, taking time out of every day to sit down and process everything that has happened lately. As a quiet soul, making friends with Harahel is quite difficult, as they tend to be distant without meaning to, rarely picking up on social cues or talking on their own. Indeed, friendship is another new concept for Harahel, who never had any such thing when they were still in Heaven. Like many angels, Harahel is not particularly emotional, needing more time to develop complex emotions and remaining very tender and vulnerable in this time. Even as they become more stable, their first response to emotional pain is to retreat back to their emotionless facade, often ceasing to feel things properly once more as a defense mechanism. Many of their traits are slowly picked up from those around them, used to create a more "complete" Harahel in the same way they pick up magic from others.

As expected of an angel who has lived their life in Heaven, Harahel is innocent and xenophobic, though as time passes, they grow past the latter and become a much more accepting person. While trusting and often naive, they're very easily scared, especially by conflict, and can be even described as somewhat of a coward. Their analytical nature means that they constantly work to understand the world around them and scrutinize new phenomena without really meaning to. As a side-effect, Harahel tends to overthink their decisions to such a point that they wish others to make them for them, so that they don't get stuck in a deadlock with themself. Harahel's poor sense of self means that they tend to cling to the things they slowly build their new identity around, with "knowing things" being a major part of the person they become. As a result, they tend to obsess over this aspect of themself and hoard knowledge for themself, not wanting others to infringe on their territory and learn their secrets. While their constant stoic countenance makes it hard to tell much of what they feel, Harahel greatly cares for those they consider their friends, clinging to them due to intense insecurity, fearing that they'll leave if they ever start to find them boring. They're a sentimental person who likes souvenirs and things that remind them of their friends, and they dislike being left alone. Even if they're silent, they like being around people who care about them. That being said, Harahel definitely needs their space and loathes crowded or noisy places.

At first, Harahel is completely apathetic when it comes to how they're perceived by others, finding it irrelevant to their work. But as they clumsily try to create their own identity, Harahel becomes increasingly self-conscious of who they're becoming, wanting to be accepted by the people they're now surrounding themself with. They're plagued by this constant feeling that they're somehow incomplete, something so omnipresent in their life they assume it's normal. Once Harahel realizes that it isn't, they become increasingly desperate to find something that can complete them. Due to the way that Heaven treats angels, for a long time, Harahel sees themself as completely expendable and unimportant. Finding themself unimportant, Harahel has no issue with throwing their life away for others during this time. However, as they begin to form their own identity, Harahel slowly grows to see themself as more and more unique and important in their own right, and becomes quite protective over what makes them who they are.

Now valuing their own life and seeing themself as important, Harahel is finally faced by the reality of what death would mean and becomes quite terrified by the prospect, not wishing to lose the sense of self they've only just gotten. They also fear their own abilities to replicate the souls of others in the same way, finding the thought of slowly overwriting their soul for greater power and ability a horrific one. However, as they latch onto the demonic ideals presented to them, Harahel steels themself and forces themself to dedicated their life to their goals in their entirety. If an existence as amazing as Lucifer is willing to throw her life away for what she believes in, Harahel reasons that someone as forgettable as themself should be capable of doing the same.

Relationships
Raziel "I will not ever let go of you, Raziel. I promise."

Without Raziel, Harahel thinks their life would be pretty sad and unfathomably lonely. Raziel is not just their best friend, but so much more as well. The two of them are inseparable, with an indescribably close relationship - it is undeniable that they are in love with one another, but even this an understatement. They share a soul, after all, and experience life, together, operating as one with a grace and effortless trust that only grows stronger each day. Naturally, it took time to develop such a strong bond, but Harahel, gentle and trusting by nature, took to Raziel from the start, accepting their authority and knowledge. This was easy for them, since they had lived thir entire life up until this point in Heaven, underneath the watchful eyes of higher angels, who expected absolute obedience at all times. So deferring to and blindly trusting Raziel came easily to Harahel, but, over time, as Harahel became a more independent person, the respect and trust between them grew something much more sincere and earned.

Virtually everything about Raziel was a mystery to Harahel, at first. Of course, an angel as old as themself had working knowledge of the basics of the natural laws, but Raziel was paranoid and careful to hide their true nature at first, fearing the consequences that carelessly throwing such knowledge around would cause. At first, Harahel didn't mind in the slightest, and accepted Raziel and all their mystery out of simple kindness, and a sense of duty to Heaven. They didn't ask questions about Raziel and their origins, simply trusting that Raziel would tell them when they were ready, and, if they didn't, that that was perfectly okay, too. Stuff like that isn't necessarily Harahel's business, anyways, even if they share a soul. Back then, Harahel was still focused on returning to Heaven, too, much to Raziel's displeasure. But the damage Harahel had sustained during the 'routine' operation prevented return, and as they sought a way to return, they experienced a world beyond their expectations alongside Raziel.

These new experiences in the world outside of Heaven challenged all of Harahel's beliefs, biases, and preconceptions. It was earth-shaking for them, and Raziel, who had initially been distant, patiently helped them process everything they discovered. They offered a new outlook that Harahel had never considered ever before, sharing their vast wisdom and knowledge. Raziel seemed to have answers for each question Harahel found themself asking, and never stopped helping them. While Harahel had at first treated them like a superior, they found that their relationship developed into something much less unbalanced, as the vulnerable Raziel opened up bit by bit, eventually entrusting Harahel with their identity, just in time for Harahel to realize that, because of this, they were being pursued by Grigori angels. But this did nothing to shake Harahel's faith in Raziel, who had helped them come to terms with a whole new dimension of emotion and reality. It is because of this that Harahel ends up realizing that Heaven isn't everything they thought it was, opening their perspective up to new possibilities and truths.

And, not only did Raziel help Harahel parse these truths, they helped them sort through the possibilities and develop their own identity, their own sense of morals, and their own beliefs, all separate from what Heaven had established for them. Raziel helped Harahel become someone, rather than say something, merely another resource exploited by Heaven. Awash with new emotions and an understanding of people they had never had before, Harahel began to feel something more for Raziel. This was not a feeling they were able to fully comprehend or articulate, but, over time, they were able to narrow it down to "love". Love for Raziel, love that was more than what friends normally felt for one another. Not that Harahel fully understood that, either, but they knew that they loved Raziel, at least, and were pleased to find that Raziel returned these feelings. The entire confession was a characteristcally blunt one for Harahel, and the two of them became more than friends, partners, with little fanfare. It simply developed into somthing more, naturally, and they were both happy with it.

As partners, while their relationship changed little in essence, Harahel and Raziel grew ever closer. As their bond deepened, as they discovered more about each other and opened up more, they became capable of greater things. The trust they furnished, a trust that grew in little and big steps as Harahel suffered through new horrors, and as Raziel confronted old enemies and fears, kept them together even through the worst of their experiences. Together, they burdened one another's traumas, the recent and the ancient, helping each other recover and move forwards. Thanks to Raziel, Harahel was able to realize that they had worth, finally allowing them to truly care for themself and value thir own life. And though this new sense of self-love exposed the once fearless Harahel to a new world of danger and risk, they had Raziel to help them through every moment of it. Because of Raziel, Harahel could move on anyways, regardless of all their fears - they were no longer alone, after all.

Closer than ever, Raziel and Harahel continue to grow alongside one another, even as their partnership and competency together drew a worse kind of attention. As their bond grows stronger, it seems that the forces attempting to rip them apart and kill them grow even stronger in response. Instead of dealing with simple Grigori angels out to impress their boss, or sadistic demons seeking to get their mother's attention, the pair finds themself confronting the worst the world has to offer. Beings as malicious and powerful as Beelzebub, Uriel, Jophiel, and even Mastema, individuals who will not lose out to the unconditional love and trust they have in one another. And, struggling to survive against greater odds than ever, Harahel has to learn how to depend on themself and have faith in their own abilities, and to trust Raziel to do the same, so that the two of them will be at their best even if separated.

Stamina: Effectively limitless. While only an average angel at first, even then, Harahel has access to exceptional stores of magical energy far surpassing most mages, allowing them to exert themself for feasibly years of non-stop combat, though their lack of experience makes such a thing happening extremely unlikely. In addition, their fighting style means that Harahel rarely takes attacks themself, instead countering them, and this makes them somewhat frail in their weight class, and unused to the intense pain brought on by strong attacks. As they become stronger and their magical array strengthens, their already exceptional stamina improves more and more, allowing them to continue fighting even when pushed to their limits and even when severely damaging themself by countering spells far above their own power or even replicating the souls of others over their own. By projecting Lucifer's soul, they become effectively inexhaustible, allowing them to fight against Super Mastema despite being gravely wounded and even replicate her own soul and continue fighting even as they're being torn apart and dying. Limitless with their Fruit of Life.

Range: Planetary, Low Multiversal with dimensional travel | Planetary, Low Multiversal with dimensional travel | Low Multiversal (Harahel's magic can reach into and affect other universes).

Standard Equipment: Their law / partner, Raziel.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius to Supergenius. Even as a relatively normal angel, Harahel's intellect is far superior to modern supercomputers, and their exceptional data processing abilities allow them to perform an unfathomable amount of calculations in under a second, proving useful to Heaven in this regard and allowing them to process even the movements of far faster opponents. Harahel's chief specialty is data analysis, which they can use to rapidly comprehend spells, abilities, chemical reactions, and physical phenomena just by observing them, quickly fully understanding whatever they are faced with and becoming capable of duplicating them through their own abilities. They are also skilled when it comes to manipulating the superadvanced cyberspace that is Yesod and can even comprehend and visualize higher-dimensional objects and perform calculations bringing these higher dimensions into account. This ability only becomes greater as they become more experienced and powerful, turning them into an exceptionally intelligent individual with a knack for magic that allows them to near-instantly understand even the most complex spells used against them, and then counter them. However, though Harahel is a phenomenal mage, they are no fighter and have very limited combat experience, relying on their intelligence to predict their opponent's actions and using their analysis abilities to deal with their own experience advantages. While they can duplicate martial arts styles, this does not make Harahel any more skilled, as they still have to follow the motions on their own, something that is inevitably sloppy in practice. These weaknesses are offset when they replicate the souls of more strategically minded individuals, such as Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Mastema, often increasing their own magical competency as well and giving them access to deep stores of magic. All of Harahel's knowledge is supported by Raziel, who has vast stores of information at their disposal and will happily share this with Harahel when they can.

Weaknesses: Harahel is an inexperienced and naive fighter, and because of their fighting style, they are unused to taking attacks and aren't so good at dealing with them. They cannot analyze spells too fast for them to follow and cannot counter spells they do not understand. While they can counter spells much stronger than themself, this puts them under intense strain and is quite difficult. Harahel can also only replicate the mechanics of an ability itself, not the emotions or knowledge behind it. For some time, Raziel has to limit themself to keep Harahel from being killed by the sheer amount of information they contain, they greatly dislike being used as a weapon, and their attempts at self-modification do not always turn out in their favor. It takes time to analyze the souls of others and create counters for them, taking longer and longer the older they are. Replicating the souls of others is exceptionally painful and damages their soul greatly, with each replication changing their personality permanently, and Harahel thus prefers not to do so unless necessary. Malicious, self-destructive beings such as Beelzebub and Mastema are particularly dangerous to replicate, dealing even further damage to Harahel when they do replicate them.

Abilities
Agency: A mage is more properly known as an agent, as in “one that acts or exerts power”. Separated from the rest of the universe, an agent is essentially a miniature universe all their own, with complete control over their destiny, free to pursue whatever future they wish. They do this through magic, the art of using one’s understanding to control Fantasy, the stuff of sheer willpower and imagination.
 * Absolute Barrier: A magical barrier that protects the user from external manipulation and attack, on every level of existence. An Absolute Barrier protects the user’s body, mind, and soul - their cells and atoms, the magical and physical forces keeping them together, and everything else. It is akin to a magical immune system, protecting the agent from threats and adapting to future attack. It passively protects the user from most types of attack, manipulation, and control, as long as the barrier is strong enough - an agent of substantially greater power can punch straight through one. An Absolute Barrier is passively maintained at all times, even in sleep, requiring no energy to maintain, and can only be removed by a stronger agent actively stripping it away, or by the user consciously lowering them. An Absolute Barrier is the evolved form of the soul’s original protective layer, refined through the usage of and exposure to magic.
 * Radar: An agent’s magical abilities passively sustain a constant 360° image of their surroundings, which is projected straight to their mind for processing. This radar is far more reliable than conventional senses, and cannot be easily fooled by tricks that would trip up any normal human. In the hands of a powerful enough agent, it can even track superluminal movements. It constantly operates at the agent’s maximum processing speed, even when such things would normally be restricted to allow for normal, everyday life.

Angel: As an angel, Harahel has the traits and powers expected of one, along with the natural, powerful aptitude for magic. Angels are effectively masses of magic, so their bodies are highly malleable and are completely immune to any physical form of attack, as they cannot be said to exist physically.
 * Halo: The halo of an angel is actually a complex Override Sigil, passively maintained without draining any energy. A halo has multiple functions in maintaining an angel’s existence and safety.
 * Angelic Data: A halo contains the magical information that makes up an angel’s existence (typically referred to as just “data”). Through this, an angel can regenerate from any scale of physical wounds through their halo, even complete physical destruction. As a halo is a magical construct, no amount of conventional physical harm can damage it, and even directly attacking it with magic can be difficult. If an angel’s halo is shattered, it will immediately and passively reconstruct itself; when an angel is actually killed, the halo will shatter and finally disappear.
 * Fear Not: An angel’s true nature and form is obscured by magic under normal circumstances, so an angel normally seems to be an individual of the viewer’s species, though their exact appearance is still up to them. In addition, they are normally clearly angelic, with the halo and wings representative of angels.
 * Messenger: Angels can communicate telepathically regardless of language barriers and transmit information across transdimensional distances, partly through their connection to Yesod. They can also teleport such distances and open portals to other worlds. This allows them to leave Heaven and travel across other universes.
 * Protection from Harm: A halo protects its bearer from offensive magic of all varieties, including those that seek to warp or manipulate them through other means. It is particularly effective in protecting against the corrupting influence of demons.
 * Wings: The wings of an angel are special, unique constructs formed out of magic, and are used to direct and manipulate magical energies as limbs. They can even absorb magic and other energy with ease. The wings are the most sensitive and important part of an angel’s body, and they are carefully maintained at all times.

Eidos Lexicon: While Harahel has no magic to really call their own, they have exceptional processing and storage abilities that allow them to quickly analyze virtually anything to understand it in its fullest, storing the knowledge away in their soul, essentially turning their inner world into a library. In place of emotions and an identity, their soul mostly contains all the information they’ve analyzed in this way. Initially, Harahel solely used this ability for information processing and storage, but it has potent applications that they discover and master over time. Eidos Lexicon's contents include the following;
 * Countercasting: By analyzing a spell as it is cast, Harahel can develop a specialized counter to negate it. While any mage can theoretically do this, Harahel specializes in it and takes it to the extreme, using it as their primary tool in combat. The longer the casting time, the easier it is to counter, as long as Harahel keeps track of the spell. Spells that happen instantly - such as true magic - are harder to counter, but it’s still possible, requiring precise timing and prior knowledge on the spell. The same applies to other spells too fast for Harahel to properly analyze. While this ability is mostly used to counter magic, it can counter essentially anything given that Harahel knows how it works. Physical phenomena can be negated, for example; a punch can be nullified by interfering with the opponent’s nervous, skeletal, or muscular systems. Chemical reactions can be negated as well, and even thoughts. A countered thought simply won’t resolve, but it won’t fade either, sticking around and looping without being able to complete itself, until Harahel stops countering it. Harahel can also counter natural healing or regeneration, though this is a more constant effort that requires more focus.  Harahel can counter spells far beyond their own power, though this is incredibly difficult, and even comparable opponents can force their spells through a counter if their will is strong enough. As their abilities depend on analysis, Harahel cannot counter spells they don't understand, though they can further analyze an ability over time to gain a deeper understanding of it and learn how to counter it.
 * Replication: The secondary application of Harahel’s inner world is gained through this analysis of magic and other abilities, which Harahel stores in their soul just like everything else. This grants them an in-depth knowledge of the original spell, allowing them to use it whenever they want. Harahel doesn’t need to counter a spell to copy it, but doing so advances their understanding of the spell further, allowing them to use it more effectively. They can combine spells they’ve learned fairly easy, and can copy even purely physical techniques, martial arts, and combat styles through analysis, though as they’re no close combat specialist, their copies are sure to be sloppier in practice.  Harahel can’t always flawlessly copy a spell, or use the magic to the same extent as its original user. After all, they cannot duplicate the emotions and intention behind a spell, and must instead rely on their own emotions and willpower. As Harahel isn’t the most emotional person, nor do they initially have a very strong sense of self, their spells are often weaker than the originals. However, they can copy virtually any magic without their emotions changing its nature, making their Replication near-perfect. However, as Harahel develops a stronger identity and becomes more emotional, their Replication becomes less perfect, but increasingly powerful.
 * Prediction: Harahel can also use their exceptional analysis and processing skills to predict the actions of others based on their subtle movements, abilities, and prior actions, allowing them to swiftly respond to their actions based on their generally accurate predictions.

System Operator: Millions upon millions of years spent doing what amounts to mindless data entry and bureaucratic work has made Harahel quite skilled when it comes to utilizing the universal cloud of data, information, and angelic thoughts that is Yesod. In Heaven, Yesod connects to all computers and angels and acts as the foundation for their communications system, almost like a hive mind that all angels instinctively use to communicate and share information. It functions on a multi-dimensional scale, with higher-ranking, more secretive channels existing on different frequencies and dimensions.

As just another angel, Harahel only has access to Yesod’s public (to angels, anyways) communication channels, though they are eventually banned from the servers following their disappearance and subsequent excommunication. Despite this, Harahel has the intellect and processing ability to hack into Yesod anyways, though accessing the higher, more secretive channels is completely impossible for them for a very, very long time. Harahel’s power over Yesod also allows them to control the raw information it transmits, an incredibly useful power given the nature of Eidos Lexicon. This power over Yesod is so great that Harahel can transmit themself as information across the system, moving across its dimensions and altering their own dimensional structure as necessary.

While originally limited to Yesod, Harahel can easily comprehend and affect other networks and data clouds, most of which are ridiculously simple in comparison, in the same way. With the development of their skills, they eventually gain the ability to manipulate raw information outside of such networks and even open up small scale imitations of Yesod, or similar cyberspaces, in space, though Yesod’s impossible size and complexity makes it impossible for Harahel to truly replicate it, only imitate portions.
 * Akashic Record: Harahel can repurpose unused and distant parts of the space-time continuum to backup their processing skills, effectively warping portions of space and time into supercomputers with which they can record and process information at incredibly rapid speeds. Through this technique, it is possible to compress even the largest banks of information into infinitesimally small bytes without losing any data, allowing for much, much faster processing and essentially infinite storage space. When Harahel learns this spell, it becomes an essential part of their magic overall, allowing them to safely store information outside of their soul so that they can backup their own identity before replicating others and don’t have to worry about running out of storage space.


 * Hyperdimension Nova: Harahel can weaponize the cyberspaces that they can create with System Operator, condensing the information and energy within to create a volatile destructive mass. Drawing power from the thoughts and emotions put into the space, this attack becomes increasingly powerful the more people involved in its creation, through which Harahel channels their thoughts, desires, and emotions to empower the cyberspace. Once created and fully formed, Harahel simply launches it at their opponent, condensing the cyberspace into pure energy driven forth by every emotion put into its construction. As a Yesod-like cyberspace, Hyperdimension Nova can traverse through alternate spatial dimensions to disappear from the sight of most opponents, and then return to regular space to strike at the opportune moment. On impact, the cyberspace expands and explodes in a burst of pure information and energy, incinerating most opponents in the heat of the emotions it carries. While throwing it is the most useful way to utilize Hyperdimension Nova, Harahel can absorb it themself to draw upon all of its power and emotions for a short period of time, though the sheer power of the cyberspace can make this incredibly painful and overwhelming.

Raziel: A mysterious tablet of some sort, a highly advanced magical device that Harahel discovered on accident and welcomed into their soul. Whatever, Raziel’s complexity and build makes it obvious that they’re of angelic make, but even Harahel struggles to understand them and has no clear idea of what they truly are. The answer to this is ultimately simple; Raziel is a discarded law, the law of secrets and mysteries that was originally wielded by Jophiel, but was cast aside. Now abandoned, they have latched onto Harahel, who innocently accepted them with open arms.

Though they may take the form of a tablet, as with any other law, Raziel’s true, abstract form is contained within Harahel’s soul as information, a constantly evolving multi-dimensional computing system that grows and spreads throughout their being even as Harahel does not grasp the full machine. Due to Raziel’s unique nature, as the law overseeing what is unknown and to be discovered, and the development of technology, they have become self-aware and are incredibly intelligent. They are happy to have their creative potential harnessed by a curious, innocent thing like Harahel, but due to their distrustful nature, Raziel’s full power remains inaccessible, only becoming available in bits, as Harahel gets to know it better and better, though it remains fully capable of providing Harahel advice and information.

While they are most definitely competent and capable on their own, Raziel’s abilities truly shine when they work in concert with a host. Raziel holds vast stores of knowledge and information, like a book, both naturally and thanks to their work alongside Jophiel, and when working with another, Raziel can expand on its knowledge and use it to help their host, helping them reach their own full potential. Harahel is an exceptional host for them as a result, with their nature as a blank slate and exceptional ability in copying and processing information allowing them to gather knowledge for Raziel to improve upon.
 * Information Lookup: Raziel can share their vast supply of information with anyone, regardless of whether or not they are their host, simply transmitting any relevant knowledge directly to their target. Harahel can perform more specific searches for information as well, and can use this knowledge together with Raziel however they please. However, Raziel contains so much information that few beings can handle the full load, and so Raziel must limit itself to properly work with Harahel. If exposed to their full library, most entities, even some of the strongest angels, would suffer horrific information overload, potentially even dying from shock and having their souls overwritten. This is something that can be weaponized, though Raziel would really rather not.
 * Process of Perfection: Given time, Raziel can refine any object, any process, and any spell, greatly improving upon the original and rendering it more efficient and useful. Even things like a plan, a line of reasoning, and a fighting technique can be improved, with Raziel coaching their host through their actions. Spells can be rendered more efficient and more powerful, with their weaknesses patched up and out, and even a stick can be perfected and transformed into a law. This ability lends itself exceptionally well to planning, as Raziel can quickly determine an optimal path of action to achieve any given goal, and can, over the course of time, further refine these plans, finding the perfect way to achieve them. This is, of course, limited by Raziel’s knowledge, but they are not lacking in this department, and they can improve upon anything they’ve already refined once they’ve gotten more information. This makes them exceedingly skilled in predicting the future. Raziel constantly uses this ability on themself, seeking to make their functions as perfect and efficient as possible. This feeds into their perfectionist tendencies and high standards, and does not always work out in their favor, sometimes proving self-destructive. Raziel is aware of this and has difficulty stopping themself, often using it for self-destructive purposes.
 * Weaponization: Though they loathe doing so, Raziel can manifest themself as a more traditional law, an evolving weapon that can be used to exploit an opponent’s weaknesses, adapting to become increasingly effective. This is not something Raziel is interested in doing, however, finding it to be an unsuitable and depressing use of their abilities, but they would be willing to do so for a beloved host like Harahel. On their own, Raziel can also manifest and weaponize themself for self-defense. In this state, Raziel can harness (and potentially combine) the effects of other laws, so long as they have enough information on them, making them incredibly versatile and dangerous. Not only do they copy the law in such a case, they improve upon it, making it an even greater weapon.
 * Suppressor: The sheath of Uriel’s law, which Harahel was able to copy. Loaded into Raziel, rather than manifest as a sheath, it appears as a wooden sword that has the sheath’s properties, making it more useful for Harahel. Any law struck by the suppressor will be locked down by its properties, rendering them temporarily useless, and Harahel eventually becomes capable of channeling their counters through Raziel in this state. As a result, it is much more useful than Uriel’s, which is merely a testament to her arrogance and cruelty.
 * Cassiel: One of the eight other natural laws, Uriel’s law of subjugation, wielded to spread Heavenly domination. When loaded into Raziel, it grants Harahel its ability to impose the idea of oppression onto victims, forcing them to their knees and making it so they simply can’t oppose Harahel and compelling them to follow Harahel and Raziel’s orders. Of course, Harahel wouldn’t use Cassiel as unjustly and cruelly as Uriel does. With Cassiel loaded, Raziel also has its other traits, causing them to perpetually bend in all directions, allowing them to cut along any angle and bend in seemingly impossible ways. Against Cassiel, distance is irrelevant due to these properties. Thanks to Raziel’s advanced understanding of space and World Operator, their and Harahel’s copy of Cassiel ends up actually surpassing the original in this capacity, though Harahel can't match Uriel's swordsmanship.
 * Tabris: The renegade law of free will wielded by Lucifer, which Harahel was able to replicate due to their relationship with the King of Demons. When loaded into Raziel, it grants Harahel its powerful ability to overturn laws, allowing them to visualize and identify physical and magical laws around them. With each law around them clearly displayed in such a way, Harahel can then cut them down to erase their influence on the physical world. It cannot permanently destroy universal laws such as aspects of physics, because they will eventually reinstate themselves in the area they have been scoured from. Magical laws with a more limited range can be more easily erased, though other incarnated Heavenly laws can be reformed so long as their information remains in their wielder’s soul. That being said, the toll of prolonged battle against Harahel will chip away at a law’s source code bit by bit, gradually wearing a law down to nothing. While they remain capable of using it combat, Harahel cannot make use of Tabris to the same extent as Lucifer due to not only the differences in their inner worlds, but the great disparity in their swordsmanship, even with Raziel’s abilities helping them. They can use its anti-personnel effect nonetheless, destroying all laws keeping any given opponent together to erase them from existence unless they have a will strong enough to take the place of these laws.
 * Spear of Destiny: A weapon no one should want to wield, the law of the last word wielded by Mastema. Like with the rest of Mastema’s magic, analyzing it was an agonizing process, and Harahel has only been left with an imperfect copy, and even then, loading this into Raziel is a terrifying prospect for the both of them. Even when loaded, without Mastema’s willpower backing it up, the Spear of Destiny is an aimless thing with a shadow of the original’s power, and its easiest application is its simplest - a single strike that imposes destiny to kill its target with a single blow. While other usages are possible thanks to the Spear of Destiny’s nature as “my will be done”, they’re incredibly difficult to accomplish with such an imperfect copy, and Harahel must warp reality on their own to duplicate its more complex effects.

Luciferian Logos: Logos is a heavenly martial art, system of magic, and philosophy developed by Yaldabaoth and spread throughout Heaven. Dedicated to controlling the totality of one’s being and using it in its entirety in combat, Logos is an instinctive fallback for angels, who have its foundation programmed into them. Logos works by clearing the user’s mind, sweeping away their emotions and identity for a time so that they can better focus on combat, making it difficult for angels to form stable identities and properly process emotions. As they generally lack any strong identities or emotions by default, angels are incredibly well-suited to the use of Logos.

With this supernatural concentration and the powerful will behind it, Logos revolves around transcending physical attacks and instead relying on pure magical attacks. The user simply wills that their target is struck, and they are, by an instantaneous force with no physical component. These cannot be responded to by normal means, instead requiring magical defenses and accurate predictions to counter them. In combat, a user utilizes both physical and pure magic, so an opponent must defend themselves on both a physical and magical level at once.

As with all angels, knowledge of Logos was programmed into Harahel’s soul and has remained there throughout their entire life even as they have never had any reason to really use it, making them a complete novice in its use. This changes as they are forced out of their comfort zone and into combat repeatedly, making them slowly grow more skilled, though their focus on Eidos Lexicon prevents them from ever truly mastering it. To preserve their own fledging identity, Harahel eventually switches over from mainstream Logos to Luciferian Logos.

While Harahel knows advanced Logos techniques and can use it effectively, this is not because of skill, but because they have copied such things from others, replicating their style to a limited extent. Harahel simply lacks the skill to make full use of these abilities and thus remains far from a master of Logos.
 * Eight Ends: A technique that focuses on disabling an opponent’s senses to leave them helpless, channeled through Harahel’s attacks. The senses it deactivates are not limited to the five senses of the body, and include a target’s self-awareness, memories, and even their consciousness itself. As mages rely on magical sensing and their own thoughts more than their conventional five senses, a magic limited to these things would be useless, so Eight Ends targets the foundation of things and disables them as well. The deactivation of all an opponent’s senses leads to a comatose state that leaves them incapable of acting or thinking, though mages with powerful defenses can resist these effects, and those with highly developed souls and enough power can act unconsciously in such a state, relying on muscle memory and instinct alone. Few opponents are competent like this. The true power of Eight Ends does not aim to deactivate senses, however, but to destroy them, ultimately seeking to destroy an opponent by completely erasing their consciousness and sense of self.
 * Limbo: Through Logos, Harahel can phase their body in and out of existence to avoid attacks. However, this can be easily negated by powerful magic and the knowledge on how, so it is limited to being a support ability.


 * Luminous Fist: The existence of those who have truly mastered Logos and reached a level that not even Yaldabaoth reached in life - the transcendence of thought and action. At this level, a true user of such a technique would stand above normal martial artists, with a pure, thoughtless consciousness that cannot be clouded by indecision, fear, or confusion. Harahel is not a true master of this technique, having instead merely copied its movements through analysis and replication. A true master of Luminous Fist would have no need for conscious thought or intentions, as not just their body, but all of their existence, act on their supernatural instinct. Harahel simply thinks too much and second-guesses themself too often for them to use Luminous Fist on their own, and instead, they use replication to copy the fluid, thoughtless movements from others, allowing them to replicate the style to some extent and react to attacks with exceptional speed. It is an imperfect imitation, and not incredibly reliable, but it still proves useful.

World Operator: The magic of world programming, which allows Harahel to reach into the fabric of space and time to bend reality and its laws to their will. This degree of magic allows for the strings of the universe itself to be used as a canvas for spellcasting, so that Harahel can twist even probability, quantum mechanics, and mathematics.

Such a high-level magic only becomes comprehensible to Harahel once they reach their peak and can fully access Raziel’s knowledge, at which point they can use System Operator and Yesod as a medium for this power, using it to program reality through such networks.
 * Multiplicative Onslaught: By manipulating arithmetic, Harahel can literally multiply their own attacks, turning a single strike into two, or ten, or even a hundred, all of which happen simultaneously. This allows Harahel to push their offense further and further, while overwhelming any defenses through sheer volume of attacks. In an instant, Harahel can create a wall of millions or even billions of attacks, annihilating most defenses in this same moment.
 * Multiplicative Countercasting: Harahel can also utilize this spell to multiply their counterspells. This is extremely useful for countering high volumes of attacks, such as those unleashed by another World Operator using Multiplicative Onslaught. Multiplying a counter to apply it several times over to a single spell does nothing to increase its effectiveness, however.

Inner World Operator: The inversion of World Operator. While World Operator is the magic of world programming, Inner World Operator is instead directed inwards, focusing on programming souls and, as implied by the name, inner worlds. It is a magic no less complex than World Operator, necessitating extensive knowledge of spiritual mechanics to utilize, but in turn, grants an immense amount of power over the soul.

Unlike much of Harahel’s magic, Inner World Operator was not copied from others, at least not in its whole form, but pieced together over time as Harahel has analyzed the many souls presented to them both in normal situations and in combat. Their use of it is somewhat limited by their own overspecialization, so while they lack an all-around mastery of Inner World Operator, their specialty has granted them some very unique, potent applications for it.
 * Spiritual Profiling: Thanks to a familiarity with the soul, Harahel can come up with a detailed and generally accurate profile of another individual’s soul and its composition just by spending time around them and analyzing their actions. It’s even more effective in combat, during which Harahel can come to conclusions on her opponent’s inner world based on their magic, how it functions, and how it’s used. This is far from foolproof and prone to error, but any profile will be refined over time, becoming more and more accurate and laying the foundation of future analysis and attack.
 * Inner World Counter: By analyzing an opponent’s soul, Harahel can come up with a way to counter them with Eidos Lexicon, as if they were just another phenomenon. This technique requires in-depth knowledge of the target’s soul, including their inner world, and though Harahel can use it without a full analysis or before fully completing the counter, its true power can only be displayed when it has been finished and perfected. Even an incomplete counter can prove lethal, however, meeting the existence of Harahel’s target head-on with their negatives and exploiting as many weaknesses as possible, erasing them from existence or, at the very least, gravely damaging them. As a side-effect, many opponents will find their worldviews shattered after having their core beliefs met with their stark opposites, destroying their ideals along with their soul. While it’s theoretically possible for an opponent to survive even a complete counter, this is incredibly unlikely and difficult. It’s more feasible that one would temporarily survive, enduring as the counter slowly wipes them from existence.
 * Inner World Replication: A self-destructive form of Replication that, instead of copying spells, seeks to copy souls and paint over Harahel’s identity with that of another being to gain access to their emotions, abilities, and knowledge. The great complexity and size of a soul means that it takes some time for Harahel to fully analyze one as needed, and they cannot perfectly store them, instead having to compress them greatly to avoid overburdening their own soul. The older a being, the bigger their soul. This is incredibly harmful for Harahel, badly damaging their soul as it is permanently overwritten in places even though they only use it for short periods of time. Each use slightly changes their personality to become closer to the person they’re copying, slowly destroying their identity and, if overused, ultimately transforming them a degraded copy. Despite the cost, it remains a powerful, desperate trump card, increasing Harahel’s knowledge, empowering the magic they’ve replicated from the original, and often increasing their willpower and emotions as well, allowing them to cast spells of greater power. Harahel can further push this ability to its limit by replicating multiple souls at once to gain access to multiple sets of knowledge and abilities. This causes even greater harm to the soul, however, accelerating the destruction of their identity. This damage will be gravely worsened if the souls they’re replicating are in opposition to one another, potentially tearing Harahel apart in the process. Though Harahel can replace the overwritten parts with their own identity if they’ve copied it beforehand, this is difficult and requires great precision. In addition, overuse may leave them uninterested in doing this. Harahel fears the effects of this magic and seeks to avoid its use as they learn to better value their own identity, and will only resort to it when in dire straits. After they learn Akashic Record, Harahel is able to more safely backup and restore their identity before replicating other individuals, making it safer to use, but they still run the risk of overwriting themselves too far and losing interest in who they used to be. Harahel’s overspecialization means that they cannot manifest the souls they copy in any other way.
 * Fruit of Life: After analyzing Mastema, Harahel was able to reproduce her Fruit of Life. For the archangels and their creator, the Fruit of Life acts as a stellar core, a mass of magic and plasma smaller and denser than a neutron star, the size of a fist. It supplies Harahel with an infinite amount of magical energy, synthesized from the infinite potential released by the Big Bang that created Heaven, along with an extremely powerful magnetic and gravitational field subject to their own control. Granting not only raw energy, a Fruit of Life also provides a substantial boost to computation. More than a mere mass of energy, it is a high-power, multi-dimensional processing unit that calculates and transfers information through higher dimensions. While Fruits of Life are certainly important, losing one is no issue for Harahel, who can use their knowledge of its structure to regenerate it.
 * Salem Corpseworld: A wasteland of rotting corpses and the maggots infesting them, the inner world of a hopelessly self-destructive, self-obsessed sadist. A soul that Harahel would very much rather not ever have to replicate, as Beelzebub’s nature is not a healthy one and will rub off on them in the worst of ways. While replicating Beelzebub gives Harahel access to her vast stores of magical, tactical, and general knowledge, along with the full power of her magic, even a temporary mimicry of her inner world will cause demonic maggots to generate within Harahel’s soul. These maggots will eat away at Harahel’s existence until released as flies, and the only way to placate them is to offer up another soul in their place. Harahel is far too good a person to even consider this, but as Beelzebub’s personality rubs off on them through overuse, they would slowly fall into the same sadistic, selfish habits, and become fully willing to do such a thing for their own sake. As a result, they would never use replicate it for long, even if it does let them spawn their own flies like Beelzebub and use the Goetic Eye at full power. Perhaps more horrific is the partial replication of Beelzebub’s many victims, stored within Salem Corpseworld and copied only as a vague presence of suffering-induced insanity. This is such a fundamental part of Beelzebub’s soul that leaving it out is impossible, but it grants Harahel their knowledge and, if needed, their still lingering unfulfilled desires and emotions.
 * Sheol Necrocosmos: A seemingly infinite abyss containing only a resigned hatred for all things and the desire to end it all, the inner world of an omnicidal tyrant throwing a childish tantrum. Not even a soul, but incarnated oblivion, far more dangerous to replicate than Beelzebub could ever hope to be. For Harahel, it is the most desperate trump card, a weapon that kills them just as it can kill anything else. Replicating Mastema grants Harahel her all-around brilliance and skill, along with the true power of Thanatos, Spear of Destiny, and the rest of her magic. It also grants her Mastema’s intense emotions, particularly her hatred, which are so powerful that it will give Harahel a sizeable increase in power. The cost is huge, however, as Mastema’s inner world is so destructive that even the replication alone can prove lethal, and if Harahel survives, they will have to deal with a host of other problems. As Mastema has no soul, the replication will slowly erase Harahel’s to copy her, and her absurdly hateful nature will burn at them as the replication progresses, putting them through steadily more and more intense pain. And lastly, Mastema’s personality is simply not a good thing to copy even in part, making Harahel increasingly ornery, hateful, and controlling the more they use it. At least they’ll never have to worry about transforming into Mastema, as the traumatic stress of the replication is so great that they’d almost certainly die before that becomes a concern. When Harahel replicates Mastema, they try to limit it to as short a period as possible to minimize its effects.
 * Thaumiel: A burning will, the refusal to ever bow down to another power, and the desire to fight for what’s right even if it means dying a million times over. For once, this is an inner world that’s as safe to replicate as it gets, representing the true form of Lucifer’s soul underneath the scarring and self-destruction, which Harahel unlocked through analysis Raziel unlocked for Harahel by perfecting the replicated Judecca Rex, before even Lucifer did. Upon Replication, Harahel fully activates Thaumiel to bring the inner world into existence limited to just their own body. This grants Harahel its effects, greatly boosting their regenerative powers, freeing them from the constraints of physics, and allows them to use Tabris to its full power effectively thanks to Lucifer’s swordsmanship skills crossing over, alongside her tactical brilliance. It also grants Harahel its constantly boosting power, forcing all of their capabilities to their limits to ensure that they’re always getting stronger. As Harahel initially replicated Thaumiel in an incomplete state, they cannot access the true form of Tabris or Demonic Duality. After Lucifer fully realizes her inner world herself, and Harahel has the time to analyze it again, they gain full access to its abilities. However, the greatest power Thaumiel grants Harahel is Lucifer’s indomitable willpower, allowing them to fight on despite overwhelming odds and pain, and the only thing that makes replicating Mastema not purely suicidal.

Prometheus Dream: The very core of Raziel’s being, of the symbiotic existence they seek, a symbiotic inner world that they share with their most beloved host, Harahel. It is the dream they have for the future, the dream they share with Harahel, an inner world that can only manifest along with that of a host thanks to Raziel’s longing for a bond greater than what they once had with Jophiel. It is with Harahel that they find this bond, and their relationship brings forward this inner world.

Continuously active so long as Raziel is bonded to their favorite host, Harahel, Prometheus Dream is a support-based inner world that amplifies the both of them, bringing out the best in the both of them. Raziel’s abilities automatically work to perfect Harahel’s inner world, shoring up weaknesses and shortcomings to make it more efficient. Its self-destructive applications are lessened, and what remains is divided between Raziel and Harahel, lessening what Harahel must burden. Thanks to Raziel and Harahel’s combined efforts, countering stronger spells and phenomena becomes easier, as their wills come together to accomplish this. In addition, Raziel can work to improve other inner worlds that Harahel has replicated and stored, allowing them to, given time, bring them to their ideal, optimal states.

Raziel is also amplified by this union, with more of their existence and structure opening up to Harahel, making their knowledge more accessible. Thanks to Harahel’s support, Raziel’s functions vastly increase in scope, and their relentless, self-destructive attempts to perfect themself become more controllable, with Harahel aiding in this. Not only does Harahel help them in this, but their presence provides an endless source of inspiration and motivation for Raziel, allowing them to operate with greater creativity. Finally, thanks to Raziel’s more comprehensible information, Harahel can share their knowledge with others more freely.

In essence, their strong bond has allowed Raziel and Harahel to join together far stronger than before, opening up their inner worlds to each other in a show of absolute, unconditional trust. They’re better synchronized than ever before as a result, acting at their best, together.

Override Sigil: An extremely advanced form of magical technique used to change the nature of reality around and within the user, allowing them to bend and break through the laws of physics. Due to their complexity, Override Sigils are incredibly difficult to create, use, and control properly, requiring detailed knowledge and a powerful will. In addition, they tend to, invariably, drain a lot of energy and stamina, making it difficult to use them for extended periods of time, even if this can be mitigated by more powerful and willful mages.
 * Relative Lightspeed: A common form of Override Sigil that is ultimately developed in some form or another by most mages as they increase in power and speed. Normally, it would be impossible for even an incredibly powerful and willful mage to break through a universal constant such as the speed of light, theoretically requiring infinite magical energy to do so. However, this Override Sigil circumvents this issue by modifying the user's inner world to change the value of c to whatever they please, raising it as they grow in speed so that they can accelerate past the universal speed limit.

Trivia

 * Harahel was initially inspired by Shirou Emiya, something that shows through in their abilities.
