Description

P03A00 function as a combination gang and cult in service to PRE03. They originated as a mundane gang who named themselves the Timberwolves for their territorial and aggressive nature prior to being taken over by a member of P03B00 and converted to a religious organization. P03A00 still retain aspects of a gang of that nature, including violent actions, territorial behavior, and the manufacturing and sale of illegal drugs, including creating and selling new designer drugs of their own (e.g., "Bliss," "Archangel Dust").

Members of P03A00 tend to be openly hostile and violent. Targets are usually those PRE03 is itself targeting, though members of P03A00 may also attack others with the aim of defending their territory or out of a general proclivity for violence.

 

P03A00 often use shared symbols to identify themselves to non-members and claim territory. The most common example is an icon of two triangles overlapping or two hourglasses side-by-side (the "Seal of the Archangel" or "Twin Triangles").

P03A00 also commonly use the phrase "embrace the Archangel." However, this particular phrase is not only a calling card but a command to become one with PRE03, either by serving it in life or by joining it in death.

P03A00 are among those who believe PRE03 to be the afterlife itself. Accordingly, they worship and serve PRE03 the same way that a Christian might want to enter Heaven after death and attempt to ensure they will by following what they believe to be the commands of their God.

Much like an ordinary gang or cult, P03A00 often recruit those who are vulnerable and have no other place to turn to, such as those experiencing depression, financial instability, or the recent death of a loved one. They offer clear goals and rules to those who feel unwanted, unmotivated, or uncertain. They offer a framework that explains what is wrong with the lives of potential recruits: the world is sinful, and that sin must be cleansed so that when PRE03 enters the world in its fullest form, it will not reject us, but embrace us.

Another trait P03A00 share with a mundane cult is their tendency to convince members to cut ties outside of the group, making them lose perspective of the outside world, making it so others can not convince them to leave P03A00, and making them feel like they have no other sources of community or guidance if they begin to doubt the group.

P03A00 are led by P03B00 ("the Apostles"), who are thought to be personally chosen and guided by PRE03. P03B00 act as channels through which PRE03's goals can be understood and carried out by P03A00. The relationship is not wholly unlike that of P04A00 (those of us in the Archive) and P04B00 (the Gifted); one group of servants is handpicked by their patron PRE, while the other trusts their PRE and, by extension, those they have chosen personally.
