I have a bit of trouble thinking of a small MECHA that fits our theme as a smart machine who belongs to the highest choir. you might want to make your own plan, 'cause I have trouble thinking about how our powers and traits would fit into a non-support character within the themes of MECHA.

This picture have me an idea, a bad idea.
I will throw this here anyway since it's fun.
But I like to have a bit more direct influence.
[] Plan: The last outsider.
-Name: Hazael; God has seen
-Sex: Does it really matter?
-Appearance: A huge rusted clockwork with long handle beneath it.
-Personality: We came before the Time the void and the chaos that followed. We desired to protect our new home, but I am the last. The rest have never been. Let me guide you so that you may never know the things we fought.
-One Unique Thing: We influence what goes on within time with our power, but we can only get inside if someone within it causes a paradox. Only those who can stand above or besides time are able to recognize us or even reach us.
further Thoughts:
We stand by the gates.
Guarding thy fates
Our brothers forgotten by time
I Have now forever been the only one.
These scars of mine
The prove of our life
is rust
Okay, rough sketch here. As a reminder, we are one of these:
You are an Ophan, also known as a throne. Thrones are living symbols of the Most High's authority, being cold, mechanical creatures of logic over the more organic forms of the other choirs. Ophanim are the last line of defense for Heaven, being the giant robots that are brought out once the foot soldiers can't deal with things. Similar to powers, they too prowl the universe, gathering information and combating the most potent threats in neutral territory. Ophanim are where bizarre angelic features such as wheels covered in eyes start to show up, but these machines have been built for a variety of purposes and a few are more humanoid.
With this selection of magical abilities:
Time S
Arcana S
Order S
Divination S
Life S
Conjuration S
We are stupid-good at those 6 things. So, we want to lean into that, yeah? But we need style, too. We need definition.
[] Plan Angelic Warmind Machine Of Glorious Feathers, Eyes, and Doombeams
-[] Name: Pyriel; The Gaze of Time's Judgement
-[] Sex: Vaguely feminine in voice but otherwise genderless.
-[] Appearance: An enormous construct-angel composed of jade-coated steel body, thick, enormous wings of shining bronze that are a fusion of "feathers" and "machinery, a featureless helmet-head with a single glowing white eye, and dozens of mechanical eyes that glow with bright orange inner fire positioned all over their body and wings. The undersides of their wings and all around their forearms bear slots that lead to larger spaces than they first appear, which deploy their signature weapon.
Within the core of this huge form is a smaller-but-still large form that is sleeker, swifter, more subtle. If the outer body is destroyed it is of little consequence to Pyriel's survival, for this inner form will continue. This form bears human-like proportions with the addition of wings, and bears a staff of purest gold.
Within the core of this form, is a wingless being of metal, with its chest bearing an eye design much like the great and terrible ones upon the largest avatar that Pyriel presents.
Pyriel's deepest, truest "core self" is the eye set inside the chest of the human-sized avatar, bearing two simple wings upon its sides.
Pyriel often manifests "drone selves" that appear as simple bronze teardrops with four small wings to propel them, which emit beams of power. These drones are their signature weapon.
-[] Personality: Pyriel can see the entire history of anyone, of anything, with but a glance. The eyes of Pyriel can gaze forward and backward in time, and most often look backward to judge a soul's life and worthiness. This leads many to thinking that Pyriel is without mercy, without compassion, caring only for judgement and burning truth. Those who say such things are only half-right; Pyriel's heart-soul longs to show mercy, but their place is to observe, catalog, and pass initial judgement. Eons of doing this have caused Pyriel to layer their desire for mercy, for anything other than JUDGEMENT, inside armor of detachment and JUDGEMENT. Yet Pyriel persists in their duties, because someone must, and it is their purpose. The fact that this means they are able to work out aggression on the occasional demonic invasion is just a bonus.
-[] One Unique Thing: Pyriel's soul/existence/nature is a bit more mutable than some might think. It is most heavily rooted in knowledge, perception, and observation. Thanks to their delving into the magics of Life and Conjuration, they can at any point split their mind into a hive-mind, controlling all the conjured Drones without any effort. Further, thanks to those same magics, if even one Drone, or the in-most Core of Pyriel, survive destruction, Pyriel is fine. Pyriel can use their magic to reconstruct all layers of themselves and be back in perfect condition astonishingly quickly.
Notes: So yes this is a Maristrhoyka Doll Mecha with bits of the Drone Swarm that @WallFlower liked, but Gundam stuff I liked. I'm imagining the drones firing beams of super-fast aging magic, raw arcane energy, debuff beams, and even healing beams for allies. Wherever their drones can reach, so too can their magic reach.
I tend to wait for a majority or let some time pass to see if a potential gap remained unclosed before updating. But uh, for now, this will stay open until one of us figures how to start the story.
