And White Chain is one of the younger angels, so it makes sense she'd be less like that.

Don't angels have to be destroyed in the void to reincarnate to their next form? I recall that the prime angels have been in the process of doing that since Zoss chased after them into the void to own them but I'm not sure if destruction of their material form also accomplishes that

I think returning to the void technically IS dying for an angel. 2 Michael "killed" her when she was banished to the void. She just didn't need to wait for reincarnation that time due to the circumstances.

She can't just "reincarnate" into another one, she'd need to get an empty one.

Gonna be real bad for the condo association when a sufficiently powerful angel moves back into a prime angel body that's been converted to housing.

Wait, so the demiurges created the angel's stone bodies, but then how did they interact on Throne before then? Did they have organic bodies like the gods?

SardonicTyrant posted:Wait, so the demiurges created the angel's stone bodies, but then how did they interact on Throne before then? Did they have organic bodies like the gods? IIRC, they didn't. The prime angels had those huge bodies that became transport golems and such, but aside from 2 Michael all the primes are still reincarnating (and Mike ain't the size he used to be). All the current angel characters were originally bodyless, and were tasked to fight against encroaching chaos or somesuch before the demiurges brought them in and built them bodies. I'm certainly getting some details wrong. I forget if this was below the comic text, or if it was something Abbadon posted off site, or what.

there werent that many primes iirc, not nearly enough to account for the number of big angel bodies there must be in use for them to be as commonplace as they are

If you liked 17776, also check out his Tim Tebow's CFL Chronicles. It's not as strong a work but a moment in the first chapter had me laughing for an entire morning and that's a good memory I have
