%%* RuleOfFun: In spades, along with RuleOfFunny.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Both Archangels and Demon Princes are split into several bickering or even [[EnemyCivilWar outright hostile]] factions.%%[[spoiler:JustAsPlanned]].%%Why?

The game is extremely tongue-in-cheek, full of pop culture references and very fun to play.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Many angels and demons are former mortals who were "promoted" in the afterlife. Most notably, Eve, Archangel of women, is ''the'' biblical Eve.

* CelestialBureaucracy

* CouncilOfAngels

* DeadBabyComedy: More often than not.

* DumbMuscle: Bifrons, Demon Prince of the dead, is this for TheLegionsOfHell - one of the most personally powerful and brutal of the lot, and commands legions of TheUndead to bolster Hell in addition to his demonic host, but incredibly stupid and easy to manipulate. On the angelic side, ArchangelMichael, Archangel of war, has very little skill in anything not related to kicking ass and taking names.
