Weeping Angels
Weeping Angels were a powerful species of quantum-locked humanoids. They were known for being murderous psychopaths, eradicating their victims “mercifully by dropping them into the past and letting them live out their full lives, just in a different time period. This allowed the angels to live off the remaining time energy of the victim’s life.
Biology
Angels are almost as old as the universe itself. Weeping Angels that were converted from ordinary statues appeared as they did before being taken over. Other Angels resembled stone statues of winged, humanoid women. Baby Angels resembled cherubs. Baby Angels possessed the same traits as adults except when they aren’t seen their footsteps and child-like giggles could be heard. Angels could even take the form of even bigger statues like the Statue of Liberty. When showing ferocity, Weeping Angels would bare their fangs and claws.
Due to their unique nature, they often covered their faces with their hands to prevent trapping each other in petrified form for eternity by looking at one another. This gave the Weeping Angels their distinct weeping appearance.
Weeping Angels grew weaker from starvation causing the stone to wear away over the years. The wearing could become so severe that they might not look like their original forms anymore. They could regain their appearance if they fed, which usually would take only an hour.
Powers and Abilities
It was said that Weeping Angels had the ability to turn ordinary statues into Angels. It is also known that the kiss of a Weeping Angel had various abilities including transforming kissed people into complete duplicates of other individuals which died after a matter of weeks. An Angel’s kiss could also suck the life energy from a victim, reducing them to dust.
Angels could move their victims back through time with a touch. They would then consume the potential energy from the lives the victims would have had. The Angels could choose whether or not their victims were sent through time.
The Angels could also feed on other types of energy such as radiation given off by a Galaxy class Star Liner or the electrical energy in electronics. They could also feed on the energy of a time paradox.
If an Angel was sufficiently fed, they would kill by sneaking up behind their victim and breaking their neck. The Angels were very strong.
Angels had a unique and nearly perfect defence mechanism, quantum-locking. This caused them to turn into stone when being observed. Nobody knows what an Angel looks like in its unfrozen and natural state because they cannot move when being observed. When not being observed, they could move incredibly fast. Due to quantum-locking meant that they had to cover their eyes when in their stone form since if they saw each other they would be trapped forever. This also applies in the instance that an Angel were to see itself in a mirror
Anything with the image of a Weeping Angel also gained the abilities of an Angel and would eventually become an Angel. When a victim looks an Angel in the eyes, the Angel could infect their visual centres and create an image in their mind. The victim could them be mentally influenced by an Angel until the image becomes fully grown and escape the person’s body, killing them.
Angels couldn’t communicate vocally although they could produce horrific screeches as a form of laughter. The Angels could take the consciousness of someone who had died and speak through it. They also possessed the ability to communicate with each other over long distances which implied that they had some telepathic abilities.
Due to their defence mechanism, they were very hard to kill and were immune to all kinds of weapons. They could starve to death if left without time energy for too long. They could also be defeated by forcing two Angels to look at each other. The only other way to kill them would be to cause a paradox which would poison the time energy they used to feed.
