About
A race of angels specializing in combat that were created personally by the gods. In order to increase battle capacity during the "Ragnarok" incident that plunged Asgard into chaos, the gods distributed flesh from their own bodies and created the Grim Angels by further imparting their wisdom. After "Ragnarok" the gods were destroyed, so no further Grim Angels should be born, but there are rumors that someone is perpetrating secret experiments in the hopes of creating manmade ones.
They are irregular existences for angels, and in contrast to their high physical specs, they have the handicap of being unstable life forms, and they have the trait of possessing short periods of operation. Because of this, they are ordinarily kept in a deep sleep in the angels' mausoleum, and awakened in times of need. However, it seems that there are many Grim Angels who never awaken again once put into stasis.

Diviner
Weapons concealing divine power that can only be used by Grim Angels. In order to control their Diviners, Grim Angels must all sacrifice something. Also, the names of Diviners are customarily derived from the names of the first Grim Angels to wield them. However, the Toolus series of manmade Diviners do not necessarily hold to these rules.
