Characters and Lore

The Hearts Family is made of several characters with different personas and backgrounds

The Hearts Family

The Hearts family is a group of angels who, for the most part, aim to spread love and compassion across the different planes of existence. Unlike a lot of angel factions, the Hearts family do not follow a particular god or religion. Instead, they are ruled by Archangel Harmony who assigns each angel in the Hearts family an Oath for them to follow. Should an angel fulfill their Oath, they will be rewarded at the end of their life with heavenly happiness, peace, and euphoria.

But should an angel choose to defy the Oath in its entirety, reject the Hearts family, and furthermore defy the principles of love and compassion while also causing intentional harm towards others, they will be punished by Archangel Harmony by being cast down to the material plane as a Fallen Angel. They also lose their Oath and are subject to wandering the plane in unrest with no direction from the Hearts family; they must fend for themselves. Archangel Harmony believes for the ones who cause the most harm, tough love is the best approach to keep their ability to harm at bay and to give them a wake-up call.

This doesn't mean they've lost all hope and chances, though. Archangel Harmony believes in forgiveness, but it takes work. A fallen angel can redeem themselves back into angelhood and the Hearts family if they demonstrate a clear, consistent, and genuine change in their ways for the better, and they have paid all necessary restitutions for the harm they have caused. This feat, however, is very hard to accomplish… but so is getting on Archangel Harmony's bad side as she is usually a very forgiving Archangel.

Lovinity Hearts ❤️♾️

Lovinity is the primary protagonist of the Hearts family. She is also the youngest of all the angels in the Hearts family. She is, what others would say, a culmination of the Hearts family genealogy and embodies a little bit of every type of love. She is a Deva messenger angel with the Oath of "All is Love", which means everything and everyone around us is some form of love and deserves to be loved. She aims to bring love and compassion to everyone, especially those who are feeling lonely and lacking love and compassion. And she believes that love is limitless and unconditional.

She was born of an angelic blood bond from Reese and Liza Hearts from their shared love of each other. Even from the start as a young one, she would always want to be loving and kind to everyone. But she didn't know how to assert herself and her boundaries at first. She believed such was contrary to bringing love. Her father, Reese Hearts, used some of his military background to help Lovinity learn to stand her ground and be assertive without being hurtful. He told her there was nothing to fear, for if one wants to love others, they must first love themself.

As Lovinity grew closer to adulthood, she spent more time with Archangel Harmony who then gave her the Oath and then helped train her on using a special kind of magic: Reiki magic. The magic involves targeting the Chakras of the living body and strengthening, affirming, and purifying them. Archangel Harmony believed such a tool could be used to help Lovinity in her quest to bring love and compassion; she could use Reiki as a secondary ability to help strengthen others' peace, joy, self-confidence, sense of love / empathy, communication, intuition, or connection with the Universe. While a majority of the process takes place through meditation, the actual "magic", which enhances the Reiki, comes from her necklace, which was specially made by Archangel Harmony.

Regarding personality: Lovinity used to be quite shy of an angel, but she has since warmed up significantly to other people and to strangers (especially after receiving assertive training from Reese). Generally, her personality is what one would call "chill", with a side of bubbly and upbeat. She likes being charismatic, and she especially likes flirting with others (in a friendly way). She loves being outdoors and will often go to parks, gardens, or bodies of water to meditate. She also likes to go hiking through forests and woods. She adores animals and anything cute. And she hate hate hates having to wear clothes; you will often find her wearing just a simple sundress or a robe (and her shoes, because she has sensitive feet)… or sometimes aside from the necklace and shoes, she may just ditch it all (sorry but that won't happen on stream ;) ). She can get stressed or overwhelmed easily which is why she meditates on a regular basis. While she's dexterous, she's also a little clumsy, so sometimes she might lose her balance a bit, especially in flight (landing in a tree is not all that uncommon for her).

Reese Hearts 💜🛡️🔥

Planetar Angel; Lawful Good; Oath of Loyalty and Protection

Reese Hearts

Reese Hearts is the father of Lovinity. He is a Planetar angel capable of combat and defense. He is frequently turned to for protection, determination, and motivation especially among the Hearts family. This is ironic because he suffers from his own self-esteem challenges which reduce his own sense of determination and outlook on life. However, he is fiercely loyal to those whom he cares about and will make sacrifices for them even at the cost of his own well-being.

He grew up in a not-so-ideal environment with violence and a sense of not being able to do anything right. This led him early on to take a combative and defensive approach to life. He believes one must be assertive and stand their ground to maintain independence and not let anyone take away their joy. While he doesn’t like to be violent himself, he will use combat as a defense, and only as a defense, if it is necessary. But he much prefers to work things out diplomatically.

He is very self-critical and sets high standards for himself. He also sets high standards for others too, but he is much more forgiving towards others. Due to his past, he doesn’t believe in mistakes being acceptable (for himself) because mistakes always brought him consequences. Sometimes he will avoid doing something just so he won’t run the risk of making a mistake.

His outlook on life grew more positive when he met another angel, Liza. He fell in love with her and adored her personality, her desire to help others and lift them up, her “god is love” value, and her seemingly endless smile. Together, they shared an angelic blood bond, and Lovinity was born.

Liza would unfortunately not stay in the picture for long because she had a special assignment opportunity for which she could not pass. Despite Reese keeping his head high, that was still a blow to his heart. And combined with his growing disdain for how the world is treating love over time, he started going down the path of rejecting love. Lovinity tried really hard to convince him otherwise, but she did not succeed. And due to their values growing more distant, their father-daughter relationship has grown a little more distant. They still connect and do things together sometimes, though.

Archangel Harmony Hearts 🤍☯️

Archangel; Neutral Good; Oath of the Heart of Harmonics

Archangel Harmony Hearts

Archangel Harmony Hearts

(Click to enlarge)

Archangel Harmony is the ruler of the Hearts family and the one who assigns each member an Oath. She is also the enforcer / keeper of the Oaths and responsible for giving out the rewards and punishments for keeping or breaking them. Aside from that, she plays a big role within the universe. She is, as her name implies, the Archangel of Harmony. She is responsible for maintaining harmony across each plane of existence. She does that through a much more global and powerful form of Reiki than what Lovinity uses… a kind which utilizes vibrational frequencies. When the frequency of a plane or an element falls out of harmony, she uses Reiki to establish a counter-frequency to put the plane or element back in line with the frequency at which it should be vibrating. This is an enormous responsibility; if just one of these planes or elements falls too much out of their designated frequency, then it can tear the fabric of the universe apart and shatter everything as we know it apart. As such, the Hearts family members each take a minor role in helping her maintain harmony. And they do that through what they do via their Oath.

Archangel Harmony doesn't look like an Archangel at all. In fact, one would argue she is the most minimalist appearing of all the Hearts family members, choosing not even to wear shoes (so she can remain grounded with the universe). She believes that excessive display of rank or anything that focuses on materialism is a big distraction for her and will impede on her ability to establish universal harmony. The only notable thing that she wears which may draw attention is her golden Celtic cross necklace. She adores the traditions and celebrations of the Celts and Pagans.

She is the most intuitive and psychic of all the Hearts angels. And she is often able to see into the futures of others. She uses this gift to guide others into knowledge and awareness. She has a very calm and soothing voice and persona, although over the years she has grown a little more irritable due to the Earth plane slowly falling out of harmony (and she has yet to figure out how to get it back in harmony).

Not much is known about Archangel Harmony’s past. She hasn’t discussed it much with any of the Hearts family. But she established Archangel status through her journey towards becoming a Reiki Master. She mastered the art of Reiki and harmonics, successfully using them to avoid a near-catastrophe when the Water elemental fell out of harmony, threatening to usher in months of flooding rain and seas (similar to what happened with Noah’s Arc, except not by choice of a Divine being). She stopped the catastrophe from happening and got the Water elemental back in harmony, resulting in the shores returning to normal and the seemingly eternal rains clearing up.

Dakota Hearts 🩶😵‍💫🧠

Fallen Angel; Chaotic Evil

Dakota Hearts

Dakota Hearts

Dakota Hearts is a fallen angel. She’s a distant cousin of Lovinity’s. While she is not physically powerful, she is a very charming angel (think saleswoman) and will use that charm to try and “sell” contradicting and negative values to others. She likes to use psychology to mess with people’s heads and get them to turn against their own morality. Her motto is “take control or be controlled”.

Dakota used to be a Deva angel and a respected member of the Hearts family. She was much like Lovinity and wanted to spread love and compassion to others. Unlike Lovinity, however, she did not have a parent figure in her life to teach her assertiveness. As such, others would use her kindness against her. This slowly drove her towards a breakdown. And finally she snapped one day when three mortals tried to use her to establish a pact with a few demons as part of an inner scheme. Her mental state collapsed, and she took revenge on the mortals, smiting them off of the planet. She also tried to smite the demons, but she ended up getting trapped by them in Hell and called upon Archangel Harmony to rescue her.

Archangel Harmony managed to free her from the depths of Hell, but she was not happy about her smiting the humans in revenge for their bullying. Murder was not acceptable within the Hearts family, and so she was cast down to the material plane as a fallen angel with her Oath stripped away. Archangel Harmony chose the material plane because that’s where she committed her sin. Therefore, she had to live among those whom she wronged and, if she wanted any chance of redemption, had to prove her worth.

Unfortunately, this did not go as planned. Dakota had no interest in reforming and still doesn’t to this day. Therefore, she roams the plane and picks fun with other people’s psyche to amuse herself and make her feel like she has a sense of control and power. Sometimes she will even do that to Lovinity when she’s on the material plane. One time, she managed to get Lovinity to turn against herself for a while. Archangel Harmony and Reese had to snap Lovinity out of the “spell” so she would return to her normal self.
