The Seven Levels of Creation

The First, and the higher creations, use different names for each other and themselves. The Temple of Enoch created the naming system used here and most of the information is also from them.  

- Seraph - The First Creation

  There are only twenty-six known seraphs still in existence out of the original one hundred. They have corporeal bodies of a sort, but bodies they can change at will. Some still use their original bodies created by The First, others do not. They appear as demons, angels, and more animalistic looking beasts when not in human form. They all have a preferred non-human form they use while in the celestial plane. Seraphs cannot completely erase their physical existence, doing so would extinguish them.   Their power and energy are not equal to The First’s, and they have limits. They, however, have significantly more power than the other creations. Over time, The First has limited their abilities through external means. The barriers between the planes of existence being the most significant change. When they travel to the earthly plane, seraph lose a significant amount of power, however they regain it once they return to the celestial realm.   Because they were created as similar beings to The First, they also have the power to create. Their ability drains their energy in a more significant way. They also cannot create beings of equal power. There are worlds, in other planes, created by Seraph. Some stay in their realm unless called on by The First or one of their peers.   When the seraph first discovered they had this ability, The First wouldn’t allow it. She was the creator, not the seraph. Angry, he destroyed the first few who tried. The seraph became angry with her, and she relented. She also decided to make a new creation.   While the seraph is not as powerful as The First. They have banned together to create a council to protect themselves, and the rest of creation, from their creator. They hold a truce of sorts that limits The First’s impulsive destruction. The seraph will destroy him, even at the risk of ending existence, if he commits a sin large enough.  

- Cherub - The Second Creation

  These creatures are all humanoid shaped angels and demons, designed after The First’s favorite seraphs. They don’t look identical to those seraphs, only similar in design. The angel and demon labels are not simply good and evil archetypes. Instead, it’s based on appearance and order of creation. Angels are creatures of light, demons are not. The First created the demons, then the angels. Partially through her creation, she wanted something a little different. She let the already created stay.   Angels were created with a little more power. The change isn’t significant enough for them to easily destroy a demon. The First gave them the ability to create a physical world of their own, an ability the demons don’t have.   Cherub’s have no sex, but some have taken on human gender. They are more bound to their bodies than the seraph, but can still change their form with some effort. Once they shift, they can stay in that form as long as they like without spending energy.   Cherub’s have some ability to manipulate the atoms around them and create some things, with the previously mentioned difference between angels and demons. Though demons can’t create on the same level, they still have some ability. Neither can create entire galaxies and planets like the seraph. Some angels have painstakingly created their own world over large amounts of time. A few have destroyed themselves in this endeavor, exhausting all of their energy. Others have asked seraph for help, and some have made empty worlds for them to play on.   A few cherubs have made Earth their playground, creating creatures often dubbed as cryptids by humans. The Temple of Enoch maintains a database of cryptids thought to be real.   The First created her second creation at a slower pace and didn’t stop until she destroyed Levite and angered her creation. The exact number of Cherubs is unknown due to the different planes of existence. It’s estimated that there are around four hundred and fifty left.  

- Nephilim - The Third Creation

  The last of the beings created before the earthly plane of existence was made. These look more humanoid than the first two, though they are still larger beings. They do not require substance like humans and their bodies do not change size or weight. When they were created The First removed even more creation power. However, the nephilim are able to create by using their own atoms. It weakens them greatly, but some have been able to have children, of a sort, in this fashion. They don't grow and develop like human children. They are also less powerful than their parents.   The nephilim were given their own plane. Cherub and Seraph can move to it at will, but nephilim an not go up without permission. It is a plane with physical creatures and a physical world. Some descriptions of heaven, or the world after death, have come from nephilim traveling to the earthly plane. Because of their ability to create more nephilim, there are haf a million, or so, nephilim living in their plane. However, they have, over time, grown weaker. The original are strong and not easy to kill, but it's also not impossible. nephilim created by other nephilim are always weaker than those who created them. There are nephilim who can't create offspring at all because they're too weak.   Weaker nephilim are also trapped on their plane and unable to move to lower planes, unless summoned by humans. If someone calls them down, they are trapped until sent back by a person who knows how, or a being with the ability to transport them.  

- Mythics - The Fourth Creation

  Before creating mythics The First made the earthly plane. Instead of living beings she experimented with the physical world. Something the creator did with her first plane, but to a lesser degree. On this plane she made a million different galaxies, creating strict rules of existence, a level of physics that doesn't exist on the other planes. She continued until she eventually created the milky way. She made a few more, but the milky way was the one she liked best. She manipulated time and the elements until she had a planet with water. Then she gave it the seeds of life.   Mythics were created when the planet was very early in its evolution. There were only tiny multicellular animals, sponges, and other animals in the Ediacaran period. Evolutionary life was primarily in the ocean and mythics roamed life-less land. The First had experimented with beings less confined to a solid body. Semi-corporeal beings made of atoms and given a form of thought. What they're made of depends on the being, their level of thought varies as well. Some are mostly single minded, others are able to create more complex thought. How many were originally made isn't known. But, they to have lowered in number. Some self-destructing, others destroying another, or each other, as they move around and experiment with their existence.   Mythics are difficult beings to pin down and record. Their existence is only known due to information given to the Enochs by visiting seraph and cherub. They can sense them if nearby, but The First created them in a way that makes it impossible for even the most powerful seraph to track them as a population.  

- Nymphs- The Sixth Creation

  These creatures were made to protect and manage the natural biomes of the Earthy plane, to make sure everything stayed in harmony. They don't have gender and their physical form depends on where they're placed. They are meant to blend in and be nearly invisible. When passing into a space with a large enough human population they naturally develop a human appearance, somewhat like a chameleon. They have a little control over their appearance, but it's limited. They choose what gender and general age they want to appear as. If they return to their home, they'll reset into their old form and can return looking like someone new.   Staying in their human form drains them. Some of the earlier creations have found ways to help support their bodies and let them stick around longer. Nymphs have a drive to care for something, whether it be environment or creature. If the they have nothing they care for they will fade a way. Some nymphs have survived the destruction of their habitat by transferring their care to one of the first three creations, who have the ability to help keep them alive. They have to perform some sort of care, however. Even if their bodies are physically kept alive, they'll mentally break down without it.   There is a finite number of them and they can't reproduce. However, they have souls that are tied to geographical areas. If their area is restored by humans, or anyone else, the nymph that was connected to that area will be restored. It has to be a space without a dense human population, however. Otherwise they'll be forced into a human body which will slowly drain them, instead of existing in their natural form.      
When God created the world, he tried seven times before he reached his perfection.

The First uses multiple pronouns as follows:   it/its - reference to itself as a physical being they/them - reference to themself as a mental being she/her - reference to herself as a creator he/him - reference to himself as authority
