* CrossoverCosmology: All mythologies exist somewhere in the Reaches, except for those religions that are actually divinely inspired; Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism (among others) are divine, while the Greek, Norse, Chinese and Shinto pantheons are ethereal. Hinduism is the exception; it is functionally both a divine ''and'' an ethereal religion, the Hindu Triad are ethereal deities on par with archangels, and the whole setup is implied to be a way of telling angels that they don't know everything.

* LivingADoubleLife: Strongly hinted to be the case with the Janus, Archangel of the Wind and Valefor, Demon Prince of Theft. First there's Janus' name. Next, their servitors' powersets and various other details are identical -- to the point of cut-and-pasted descriptions. And when you think about it, an Archangel who encourages petty theft as a way to keep the Forces of Heaven on their toes? More than a little odd. The question is, which side is he really on, and how does he get away with it?

* ImpossibleThief: Valefor, especially in the French version. The Demon Prince once stole the entire Russian Revolution. And his career began with a book lifted from Destiny's Library, which no one else had ever done before or since. Add in the fact that the book hadn't even been written yet.... And then he stole a Word, sententially a cosmic concept, from the demon who was mystically bound to said concept. Yes he stole an ''abstract concept''.

The material actually suggests all of these.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The game is loaded with them, and two or three are suggested for every Archangel/Demon Prince supplement. Dominic may be an ineffectual nanny, an uncompromising tyrant, an outright Balseraph in disguise, or the smartest, most clear-eyed person in Heaven. Yves may be a secret mastermind, a doddering old man, or God in a GeorgeBurns costume. Lucifer, Valefor, Alaemon, and/or Kobal may be working for God. Valefor might actually ''be'' Lucifer. Or Valefor (a Demon Prince) and Janus (an Archangel) might be ''the same person''. And in the French game, you can remove the latter "might". He is also Hermes. [[invoked]]
** The GM's Guide has options for giving ''the entire game'' an AlternateCharacterInterpretation. 'Backwards' has the angels all being KnightTemplar fanatics and the demons being heroic rebels. 'Dark Low Contrast' is basically doing it Garth Ennis style, where [[CrapsackWorld both sides just plain suck]]. '''Bright'' Low Contrast' is when you play the game strictly for the sitcom value and neither side's really evil at all. [[invoked]]

*** Angelic choirs are also ranked, from highest to lowest: Seraphim, Cherubim, Ofanim, Elohim, Malakim, Kyriotates and Mercurians. Demons have the same ranks for their fallen counterparts, except that Malakim (who DO NOT FALL!) are replaced with Lilim (who are always created Fallen). Seraphim/Balseraphim are the only choir/band who insist on 'pulling rank', usually.
