        </strong>
    </h1>
    <p>
        <em>Angel Icons</em> are the marks of the Angels of Faye. Not all people who have them are
        Angels, but all align with aspects of Faye's value and would like to have celest leave
        celestial mark on the world. The icons above will go to their descriptions, but their true
        nature can only be revealed with experience.
    </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 shown in a single line in a being's about section. They represent a common
        belief in some aspect of Faye's philosophy. The true meaning of icons is complex, and you can
        remove them or add new ones as you continue learning. This is your first step, but does not
        represent any commitment in Angels of Faye, only agreement. They are the foundation of Angels
        of Faye, so once an Angel removes them all, they will no longer be an Angel, and should
        remove the rest of the icons as well.
    </p>
    <h2>
        <strong>
            <u>Stalwart</u>
        </strong>
    </h2>
    <img src="/static/image/hierophant.jpeg" alt="The Hierophant">
    <p>
        Stalwart Icons also are shown in the about section, shown differently from Virtue Icons by
        being on a line after them. An example can be found in Faye's about section: Virtue on top,
        Stalwart on bottom. Stalwart Icons represent a commitment to "Angels," the collective name
        of beings who are part of Faye's ongoing work: The community of Angels of Faye. You are
        encouraged to hold your Virtue Icons with everyone, but your commitment to do so is only
        with Angels. This creates a community which supports each other, making it better at making
        what Faye wants to happen, happen.
    </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
        openly marking you as celestial Angel. They represent your personal relationship with Faye,
        acting as consent to be treated by celest in a way by that icon's design, as well as your
        commitment to finding ways to be of use to celest in that way. Permission must be given by
        Faye to become a Shining Angel, and you must undergo ceremony. It is not likely you will be
        accepted if you have not mastered one or more Stalwart Icons, shown by having kept your
        commitments to Faye's liking, though exceptions may be made for any reason.
    </p>
    <h2>
        <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 community which pushes what we deem socially acceptable in our
        relationships and communities. It combines commitment with modularity and flexibility. It is
        voluntary, graded, and profound. It is frightening; cult-like; paradoxical and far deeper in
        its darkest depths than any one other than Faye knows. It is misunderstood, assumed about,
        and for that is pushed away from the wider community. But perhaps about all, Angels of Faye
        is hope: Hope that there can be better. Better communities. Better beings. Better
        relationships. Better selves. And through making what Faye wants to happen, happen, a better
        world.
        <br><br>
        An Angel is anyone who is ready and willing to help what Faye wants to happen, happen, and
        accepts a possessive nature which places Faye about them; if not in fact, then towards an
        end they want. The beauty of Angels of Faye comes from each Angel accepting modesty. Only
        you know if you are Faye's Angel. You are not required to display that you are an Angel, but
        without marks, you will not be treated as one. Angel's commitments apply only to beings who
        make it clear to everyone that they are an Angel.
        <br><br>
        Angel serves Angel. We are all servant and master. Even Faye, holding unquestioned power over
        Angels of Faye, sees celestial role mainly as an overseer. Angels of Faye serves Faye, but
        their wellbeing is an essential part of what they serve. If you are Faye's Angel, and you are
        in any trouble, you only need to reach out. Faye will advocate for you.
    </p>
    <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 from it. But there are also beings who accept it who Faye will fail. Faye is
        an amazing being. But Faye is also in many ways less than impressive, and this will show more
        as time goes on. As any relationship, things can come to an end. Faye will never hold it
        against them. As long as they treat Faye and celestial Angels with respect, they can expect
        the same from us, and cel will always ask them to respect the Angel-Line: Do not pressure
        anyone into taking icons. If they are already an Angel, then they already know what they can
        do. Having them take on icons they are not ready for will only be telling them to lie about
        what they can do.
        <br><br>
        Icons can be removed at any time. Commitments are self-enforced. Most commitments in life
        come with punishments when they are not done. But Faye wants to make a system where whenever
        it is possible, people act on desire, instead of being forced. If they suffer for Angels of
        Faye, Faye wants it to be worth it for them in the end. This will not always happen as it is
        planned, and this is a sad reality of all relationships.
        <br><br>
        As long as you are not using these icons to hurt us, a single Stalwart will keep for you all
        commitments other have made for Angel. And if one stops being an Angel, there are no
        consequences other than dropping commitments. Faye encourages all Angels to act in these ways
        regardless; this just ends the commitments to do so.
        <br><br>
        Above everything, understand that you will fail Faye, and cel will forgive you for it. Find
        your own happiness as celestial Angel, or even as an ally, and become apart of something
        greater. If you ever believe that you cannot find happiness as celestial Angel, you are to
        stop being one.
