        💜❤️Angel Icons🖤💙
      </strong>
    </h1>
    <p>
      <em>Angel Icons</em> are the marks of the Angels of Faye. Not all who bear
			them are Angels, but all align with aspects of Faye's values and wish to
			have celest leave celestial mark on this world. The icons displayed above
			will lead you to their descriptions, but their true depth can only be
			revealed with experience. Be inquisitive and explore.
    </p>

    <p>
      There are three standard ways to use an Angel Icon:
      <br>
      <strong>Virtue</strong>, <strong>Stalwart</strong>, and
			<strong>Shining</strong>.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <strong>
        <u>Virtue</u>
      </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/hermit.jpeg" alt="The Hermit">
    <p>
      Virtue Icons are displayed in a single line of one's bio. They represent a
			shared belief in some aspect of Faye's philosophy. The true meaning of
			icons is complex, and you may find you remove them or add new ones as you
			learn more. This is your first step into the light, but does not represent
			any sort of commitment or participation in Angels of Faye, simply
			solidarity. Still, they are the foundation on which Angels of Faye stands,
			and so should an Angel remove them all, they will cease to be an Angel,
			and should remove all other icons as well.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <strong>
        <u>Stalwart</u>
      </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/hierophant.jpeg" alt="The Hierophant">
    <p>
      Stalwart Icons also appear in the bio, distinguished from Virtue Icons by
			being on a later line. An example can be found in Faye's bio: Virtue Icons
			on top, Stalwart Icons on the bottom. Stalwart Icons represent a
			commitment to "Angels," the collective name of those who are part of
			Faye's most important ongoing work: the community of Angels of Faye. You
			are encouraged to exalt your Virtue Icons with everyone, but your
			commitment to do so remains only with Angels. This creates a foundation
			for a community which supports each other so they may better bring about
			Faye's will.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <strong>
        <u>Shining</u>
      </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/lovers.jpeg" alt="The Lovers">
    <p>
      Shining Icons appear in your display name representing your specific
			commitment to Faye, more overtly marking you as celestial Angel. They
			emblemize your personal relationship with Faye, acting as consent to be
			treated by celest in a way particular to that icon, as well as your
			commitment to finding ways to be of use to celest in that way. Permission
			must be granted by Faye in order to become a Shining Angel, and you must
			undergo ceremony. It is unlikely you will be accepted if you have not
			mastered one or more Stalwart Icons, indicated by having maintained your
			commitments to Faye's satisfaction, though exceptions may be made.
    </p>

      <strong>
        <u>What is an Angel, exactly?</u>
      </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/star.jpeg" alt="The Star">
    <p>
			Angels of Faye is a voluntary association of those who wish to subsume
			themselves to the whole, who wish to take on responsibility in the name
			of Faye. It is flexible, it is understanding and empathetic. Take as much
			burden as you wish, take none if need be. Angels of Faye is deeply
			misunderstood and shunned, but when stripped down to it's raw essence, it
			is a project to rebuild the world anew according to the ideals of Faye.
			To create a world of better, a better world, a better community, a better
			relationship, and a better self.
			<br><br>
      An Angel is anyone who is ready and willing to exist as an extension of
			Faye's will, and acknowledges a possessive nature which places celest
				above them&mdash;if not in fact, then towards an end they desire. The
			beauty of Angels of Faye is derived from each Angel accepting such
			humility. Only you can know if you truly are Faye's Angel. You are not
			required to display that you are an Angel, but without marks, you will not
			be treated as such. Angels' commitments apply only to those who make clear
			to all that they are Faye's Angel.
			<br><br>
			Angel serves Angel. We are all servant and master. Even Faye, holding
			absolute dominon over Angels of Faye, sees celestial role primarily as an
			overseer. Angels of Faye serves Faye, but their wellbeing is an
			indispenable part of the will they serve. If you are Faye's Angel, and you
			are ever in any sort of trouble, you only need to reach out. Faye will
			advocate for you.

    <h2>
        <strong>
            <u>Angels of Faye's End</u>
        </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/death.jpeg" alt="Death">
    <p>
    	Angels of Faye is not for everyone. There are many who will reject Angels
			of Faye who would have benefited greatly from it. But there are likewise
			those who accept it who Faye will fail. Faye is an amazing being. But Faye
			is also in many ways far less than impressive, and this will become
			apparent in time. As any relationship, things can come to an end. Faye
			will never hold it against them. So long as they treat Faye and celestial
			Angels with respect, they can expect the same in kind, and cel will always
			ask them to respect the Angel-line: do not pressure anyone into taking
			icons they are not ready for will only be telling them to take on a lie.
			<br><br>
			Icons can be removed at any time. Commitments are self-reinforced. Most
			commitments in life come with penalties when violated. But Faye wants to
			make a system where whenever possible, beings act in desire and virtue,
			not coercion. If they suffer in the name of Angels of Faye, Faye wants it
			to be worth it for them in the end. This will not always happen as
			planned, and this is a sad reality of all relationships in his life.
			<br><br>
			So as long as you are not using icons under false pretenses to exploit our
			good will, a single Stalwart will maintain for you all commitments other
			have made to Angels of Faye. And if one ceases to be an Angel, there are
			no consequences beyond dropping of commitments in turn. Faye encourage all
			Angels to behave in these ways regardless&mdash;this simply ends the
			commitments to do so.
			<br><br>
			Above all, understand that you will fail Faye, and that cel will forgive
			you for it. Seek your happiness as Faye's Angel, or even simply an ally,
			and become part of something greater. If you ever believe that you cannot
			find happiness as Faye's Angel, you are to cease being one.
