Despite having not made an official appearance in canon yet, Michael has quite the role in this AU. I dare say his story in this AU is one of the most disturbing and tragic.
Michael suffers from power sickness, but his struggles don’t end there.
Michael is the most powerful Archangel and leader of the Celestial Realm’s legions, making him Father’s most powerful weapon of war. However, as we have seen thus far, the Celestial Realm isn’t satisfied with the power it has and is seeking more. As such, Michael wasn’t enough. He needed to be improved. Upgraded.
In his attempts to turn Michael into the perfect supersoldier, Father created an abomination. Michael’s form was warped into what could be compared to the most terrifying of the biblical angels. Two golden rings of eyes circled around his head, replacing the now nonexistent eyes on his completely smoothed-over face. More eyes peered out from between the feathers of his four wings, wings that were now permanently set ablaze. Smaller golden rings of eyes encircled his hands and ankles like shackles, and he has four arms instead of two. There are also disembodied eyes floating all around him, which he can move at will, using them almost like camera drones. Despite his mouth being smoothed over with skin like the rest of his face, Michael can still somehow speak, in an echoey and ethereal voice that brings chills to those who listen, a feeling that they are hearing something they shouldn’t. But no, Michael can’t eat, which as you could imagine is absolutely devastating to someone like him.
Despite his shocking appearance, Michael’s mind has remained unaltered. He is still the same person, the person who doesn’t want to fight Lucifer and his brothers. He is ashamed of what has become of him, and isolates himself from the other angels whenever he can. He is only really seen when he’s fighting in battle, and even then it’s hard to get a good look at him. He flies high in the air, keeping a distance from his fellow angels who cannot fly high anymore due to their scorched wings. He never speaks to his fellow angels anymore, having Raphael give orders in his stead as Michael himself focuses solely on fighting the opponent. When not in battle, he hides himself away in a dug-out cave underneath the camp. As the only person granted access to Michael’s hideaway, Raphael is the only soul that has heard him speak in a long time.
Due to being able to see (really well, given all the eyes he has) and the unimaginable level of power he has been imbued with, Michael is a very important soldier in the war and does fight on the front line. However, he only does so out of necessity, because he needs to protect his fellow angels and because he’s afraid of what Father will do if he doesn’t follow his orders. Michael dreads the day he encounters Lucifer in battle, and has grown to doubt Father after all he has done to him.
Imagine both sides of the war initially overlooked the destruction of their worlds because “well, we’ll take over the opponent’s land soon enough and use that while our homeland heals” and by the time they realized the enemy’s homeland was also too destroyed to even be worth taking over anymore it was too late

Solomon: [Michael, New York City has just been flattened. I went to take a look, and found strong traces of both demonic and angelic magic at play.]
Solomon: [Maybe “traces” isn’t the right word. It was too strong for that.]
Solomon: [Did you and the Demon King himself duke it out down here? Because that’s what this strength of magic is indicating to me.]
Solomon: [Actually, no. No offense, but I’m fairly certain neither of you could physically handle exerting this amount of power at once.]
Solomon: [I really think we need to have a meeting to discuss this. The humans are freaking out.]
Solomon: [Michael?]
So, in this AU, a large percentage of angels have been blinded. If not completely blind, with significant impairment. This may raise the question of, how can they be effective soldiers in the war? There’s a lot that blind people can do that can be surprising to a sighted person, but regardless, it’s hard to imagine being able to withstand the heat of battle without even being able to see your opponent. And if your comrades can’t see either, that makes it even harder. So I figured I’d delve a bit more into how the angels work around their limitations.
Like most blind people in real life, I imagine angels do a lot of compensating with their other senses like hearing. However, angels also have another sense that we don’t see in the real world: magic sense.
We’ve seen some indications in canon that angels and demons can “sense” magic. Many characters have pointed out sensing odd energy from a cursed object, and things like that. I think this ability could be extremely useful to blind angels.
Any angel or demon likely radiates some kind of magical energy or aura. Their very existence is entwined with their angelic/demonic magic, after all. So, an angel who can sense magic can figure out some pretty important things. Where other people are in relation to them, whether these people are angels, demons or humans, how magically powerful these people are, etc. They could also detect the casting of spells and possibly determine what the spell is without actually seeing the effects with their eyes. This sense would be extremely useful for blind angels to engage in battle, dodging spells and honing in on an opponent, as well as being useful for socializing with each other because they can be more easily aware of each other’s location. This magic sense is still extremely vague and doesn’t help with everyday, non-magical objects, so other workarounds are needed there, but nonetheless this sense is extremely helpful. In some ways, it’s even more helpful than vision- they can sense magic beyond things like walls that one couldn’t see past, helping to detect ambushes.
I also imagine angels began using some form of braille. This actually works to the angels’ advantage; not many abled humans know braille, much less demons. What started as simply the most accessible form of communication for disabled angels ends up becoming code language that is extremely important for conveying information from angel to angel without enemy interception. Braille has likely become the primary method of communication among angels, as there is such a small percentage of sighted angels that non-blind-accessible forms of communication have become obsolete.
It’s also important to note that whatever advantage the demons may seem to have over the angels due to their eyesight isn’t actually all that great. The demons’ eyesight isn’t perfect either anymore. Though the demons’ eyes were not physically damaged, they were drenched in complete and utter darkness for a quite long period of time before moving to the Human World. That inability to use their eyes to see anything for so long has done some damage, and some demons seem to “forget” how to see. Things like depth perception, visual discrimination, and distance determining become difficult for demons who have grown accustomed to not using their eyes, and it’s easy to visually overwhelm a demon who has only recently moved to the Human World.
Figured since some people are waiting on character files, I’d give you guys an idea of where I am in developing them.
So far, the only character file that has been released is Simeon’s.
I have a few others that I’ve already planned out in quite a bit of detail, but just haven’t released yet. The reason why is simple: I’m spacing out my posts so I don’t run out of content. It’s my way of keeping the blog alive and running.
The ones I have planned but are “on hold” for this reason are:
-Luke (in my drafts)
-Diavolo
-Michael (in my drafts)
-Satan (in my drafts)
-Raphael (in my drafts)
Then there are the ones who I, quite frankly, have no idea what I’m doing with them. Recommendations are very much welcomed.
-Lucifer
-Beelzebub
-Belphegor
-Mammon
-Leviathan
-Asmodeus
-Mephistopheles
-Thirteen
-Solomon
-Great Witch Maddi
I have some ideas for Mephistopheles in this AU, but I don’t know enough about him just yet to make a full character file. Will say this though: his little brother died when the Devildom was darkened. Haven’t decided whether it was from freezing, starvation, falling to his death in the darkness, or being cannibalized by other demons, but he’s definitely dead.
-Raphael to Father
So I've been reading some of @obeymearmageddonau 's Armageddon Au and decided to write a drabble for it
But first let's make some Characters for it
-There will be several OCs present in this
Arc(Archie)- He can be considered the 'MC' of his area.
He is one a several newly discovered hybrids (Human, Angel, Demon in that order of what genes are more dominant)
Like most hybrids in this and any future drabbles he has health problems originating from the conflicting DNA
Unlike the MC in the game the connection to the three realms doesn't have any effect on any of the realms but is instead destroying him from the inside out
He has access to a pair of wings and horns with a tail
These are considered his angel and human forms
He is the vice leader of a survivor group
Arch(Archelle)-Can also be considered the MC
She is Arc's older sister and the second hybrid known to their survivor group
Unlike her brother the Demon genes have fully suppressed her angel genes leaving her healthier in most aspects but with the drawback of having violent seizures and internal bleeding when coming into prolonged contact with angels
She has horns, wings, a tail, and darkened skin along her forearms similar to elbow length gloves
She is the leader of their survivor group
Angel-A side character of this story
The youngest sister and adopted cousin of Arc and Arch
While she is high school aged for most of this she is physically a child due to her demonic genes suppressing her human genes
Even though her demon side is dominant she has an incredibly weak angel (but still stronger that human) form
For her safety her other forms were sealed away the second her siblings found a way
This has a negative impact on her health but is still safer than Arc's situation
I am trying very hard to cut this. Sorry for the length
-Lucifer to Raphael
Imagine Michael knowing the war is about to break out before it actually happens and he keeps saying really weird things like “I don’t trust Father anymore” and “the Celestial Realm is going to burn” and Luke is just like “HUH??? EXCUSE ME???” but Michael won’t elaborate
And then a few weeks later, Michael suddenly isn’t talking to anyone anymore
