Angelic Sentinel of Haat'Tar by
Info:
First picture of Angelic Sentinel from the world of Haat'Tar.
Some of them act as guides and mentors. Others guard "Sanctuary shard" and the seat of godly power in mortal realm, Elion's Palace. Yet a lot of them form the legions, an army, ready to deter almost any foe in a time of need. They are tall, if someone is interested, towering over most mortals and even some smaller dragons :) Skin mostly has a silver hue.
Almost every Angelic Sentinel was once mortal being. To prevent being bribed or bending the laws in a favour of old friends, they hide true identities. There are dozens of clothing variations, but tens of thousands of Angelic Sentinels. Masks are magical, they are changing shape to represent mood and display emotions. (Guess, this particular Sentinel on the picture, just ended his watch and feeling extra mischievous).
Yet there's a tragic fact about them. Unfortunately, most of Angelic Sentinels are created from the souls of martyrs. Given a choose between facing judgement and getting possibility of afterlife... or becoming an Angelic Sentinel, many of them choose the latter. Time, how long they live and serve isn't limited. Some can grow tired of upholding the laws every day, others perish during conflict with other beings.
"Death" works for them not like for simple mortals. Once physical form can no longer sustain their spirit, it departs from body to the Endless Line of Souls. That's guarded by... the same Angelic Sentinels, colleagues of the one that just perished... So, if there were no serious crimes done and their demise aren't a part of Divine Punishment, one last question remains: Do they want to continue serving Elion, "Sanctuary shard" and balance? If "Yes", in some time shock from ending up dead is calmed, and Angelic Sentinel get their physical form restored. So, there's no way to dispose some of them if caught in the act and getting away with it just by simple (or complicated) murder.
Don't be fooled by their looks, most Angelic Sentinels are hardened veterans with hundreds of years of experience. Even during their mortal life, they were warriors, healers or just heroes, some even paladins.
Most of the time even one is too much for simple mortal to handle. Angelic Sentinels often acting selfless in combat, throwing themselves in harm's way to protect others, less powerful beings. They know that their form can be restored after demise, so it's common for them to acting zealously, sometimes overzealously.

Interesting ^^ So they're sorts of... omnipresent guardians keeping justice ?
But then, do they face any wrongdoer in any cases, like some sort of super policemen ? Like, if someone steal an apple they would face them ? Or it's more "region" or "world" level threat that need their implication ?
I like the origin of these sentinel ! Them being normal people before and reincarnating ^^ Do they keep their memory by the way ? Or a part of their old personnality ?

Let's get back to our world: Haat'Tar is the name of the planet (that's missing a continent) with "Sanctuary shard" (missing continent) floating in space above it.
Angelic Sentinels are close to being "omnipresent" at the "Sanctuary shard" just because their large numbers there, but they are rarely crossing the barrier to reach the planet itself.
They are indeed trying to keep things running according to the laws and keeping justice. But that's laws from Elion and Council, rather than laws of mortals.
They don't face any wrongdoer, as there are wars on the planet, that aren't stopped immediately and can take a lot of time to resolve.
Never considered Angelic Sentinels being "super policemen" - their functions are different, that includes regular army, guard duty, keeping spiritual forms from escaping the Endless Line of Souls, peacekeeping and law enforcement (at least at "Sanctuary shard"), being guides and mentors to other beings, acting as priority messengers and delivering important information.
Stealing an apple? Well, if that happens on "Sanctuary shard", worst case - being warned, reminded of the laws and lectured... Donig something worse can get mortals to be restrained by divine shackles, confined or imprisoned, brought to the Council for judgement and punishment, collared and marked as 'Sinner' assigning them to taking penance... and that often means forced labour. In extreme cases, "wrongdoers" will face Angelic Sentinels in combat... usually resulting in finding themselves in the Endless Line of Souls.
Angelic Sentinels keep most of their memories after reincarnating and have most of their old personality, a little bit polished in good way. Yet some traumatic past is being sealed away. In some cases, another Angelic Sentinel will help with that. If not, Luna, Celestial Dragon of the Moon is capable of healing the minds and souls.

I see ^^ So, they're more like an army of divine guards, keepers of the divine rules and laws.
That's interesting, is there a limit at which they have to go out of the Sanctuary shard to go up against someone or something on the planet itself ? I guess if there's a direct opposition to gods they have to be there.
Seems like it's quite a difficult task they have ^^

Angelic Sentinels can go out from the "Sanctuary shard". But their powers outside are limited.
About how powers and magic works:
Common mortal beings can have innate abilities, learn elemental and arcane magic. They use mana and life force for creating magic.
Priests, Paladins and Champions of gods can have a spark of Celestial and Divine powers. Their powers are gifted and can't be replenished without will of beings that granted such gift.
Angelic Sentinels have potent Divine powers, but limited in how much potential they have to project powers outside the "Sanctuary shard". Once they are drained, they need to return and rest.
Celestial Drakes have Celestial powers that work in similar ways, once potential pool is spent, they need to return and recover.
Celestial Dragons have both Celestial and Divine powers. They regain the potential over time but recover much faster while back in the "Sanctuary shard".
Even if task of Angelic Sentinels looks difficult, there are many of them, often working as a team or assisting a Celestial Drake.
As for "a direct opposition to gods"... when we talk about mortals, it's just dealing with being stubborn and defiant. Sometimes playing politics.
Some real "opposition" can only be seen from Eldritch and Demonic beings... well sometime from beings fallen from grace. But that's another story :)

Hmm seems like there's plenty to uncover indeed !
Very curious about these demonic and eldritch being you talk about, especially since it's something divine and celestial creatures seem to prepare themselves agains, at least that's what it feels to me ^^
But as you said, it's for another story =p
