#1 error is the names of the fallen angels. Lucifer is litarally translated as liar and does not turn up in historical documents in the church until after Paul. ie you want Satan or Sin. Simple info, hard to get. You wouldnt want to be called by some one elses name either right? Also Not sure when Damien/on appeared but it is loosly translated as childlike behavior. (try hebrew/anchient)
Will of the word. The word of god is Jesus, are you sure this is the right concept you wish to depict? Only until the Messiah, ie Jesus, were angels unwashed into heaven. (? not sure if i am stating this correctly.) All others that become angels through thoughts and deeds this is the imperitive parts that the religiose forget to point out. They think you get it from the start.
Right on the money on this one! good job!

Alright i read it good job i must say, and believe it or not you have to actually go to the Vatican to get the complete list of angels. They do have a book they do not allow it out. I am not sure if i got lucky when i was allowed to see it or not Good start though.
In the modern Christian dogma of many sects, Lucifer and Satan are the same being. Lucifer was an Archangel in charge of heavens choirs. He was renamed Satan after he was cast out. So I am going from that angle.
As far as the angel names go. I am not making any effort to research accurate historical, or religious names. There are a few I am using that are commonly known, especially the Arch Angels, but as far as the rest go, including the main character, they are entirely fictitious and made up from my own imagination. I am using the iel, which in essence mean "of God" as in Light Of God, or Strength of God, or Glory of God, and so on and so on. When you do research the names of angels they mostly use that suffix. Jim has said something similar in his use of angel names for the Denarians.
With the Will and the Word, again, many modern Christian sects believe in the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. They are all one and the same and have existed since time began. The Son, Jesus, was the one who was born into the world. But in the dogma mentioned above, he still existed in the beginning. So in the dogma of the universe I am creating in my book, the Will is the Father, the Word, is the Son, and the Action is the Holy Spirit. The Will decides it will be done, the Word states it will be done, and the Action does it.
It is an uncommon modern concept that humans become angels after death. In my particular faith, humans do NOT become angels. And I supposed I could even be accused of heresy for suggesting that angels could be born into the world AS humans. Angels can take human form, but again that is different than being born human. Angels were created by God to be the instruments of his will. To work in creation according to his plan. They were created beings with full knowledge of God, filled with his power. And as such didn't need the type of faith humans do. The KNOW God exists, and KNOW his will directly. So their sin of rebellion is even more serious, as they chose to rebel in full knowledge of the sin of their actions.
Part of my inspiration is the Prophecy movies with Christopher Walker. There is a line in there that still inspires/haunts me. "Did you ever notice in the Bible that whenever God needed to punish someone, or make a point, or a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a being like that must be like? Your whole existence spent in praise of your creator, but with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever, truly, want to meet and angel?"
I am not trying to start a theological argument, but working with a concept that I have had for a long time, and trying NOT to offend the Christian world anymore than I have to. Lord knows I am likely to get blasted anyway... :-)
