Ah Angels....guardians of love and peace and goodwill....wait no, that's not this. 

WHAT IS AN ANGEL? 
Angels are powerful celestial beings of light created by God to serve as his attendants and messengers, but also as his soldiers and warriors in his war against Lucifer and his demons. They are native to Heaven and are imbued with considerable power.
Angels are one of the most powerful entities in creation. Angels speak using Enochian in Heaven, on Earth they use their vessel's language.As warriors of God and agents of fate, angels are extremely powerful beings in the supernatural world. They are superhuman beings superior to mortals in both power and intelligence. Their true spiritual forms or visages prove overwhelming to most mortals; however, some 'special' people can view their true visages without suffering lasting effects; demons also can't look at them in their true form without damaging their hosts ( though that particular part is blocked due to the spell placed on Mystic Falls)

ARE ALL ANGELS CREATED EQUAL?
Nope. There are certain Angels who were created first, those are called Archangels. There are about 50 in combined various religions give or take that we'll allow ( though the supernatural world only lists four). Next you have regular Angels and then Cherubim. 

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? 
Although not physically seen as they have no physical presence or being of their own, an angel's presence has been seen or manifested on earth as a brilliant white light (or a bluish luminous smoke if they have no wings). Respectively, angels in their true form do have large swan-like wings on their backs which can range in number anywhere from two to six. On Earth they must take a vessel and only with the permission of said human. Archangels need particular hosts who have been made for this role, if they are unable or unwilling the Archangel must use a normal human who they would begin to " wear through" until the host could not hold the essence of the Angel physically anymore. When they are in their vessel they retain full and absolute control. 

WHAT ARE THEY LIKE? 
You could describe most angels as being emotionless, not permitted to have feelings or free will. Similar to marble statues, in the sense that they're both cold, loyal and have no choice when in Heaven. Some Angels take a lot of time to develop their own sense of self once leaving Heaven and some adapt more quickly. Cherubim are shown to be very cheerful, emotional, and love giving hugs as opposed to handshakes. To be more accurate, angels are very much capable of both human emotions and flaws of character, rather the majority of them choose not to show or admit to having emotions as emotions are considered doorways to doubt as well as a weakness, and they are not permitted to display emotions for the same reasons.

DO THEY LIKE HUMANS? 
That depends on the Angel. Some have a strong disdain for Humans, some are much more loving and protective. It really just depends on who you're asking. 

POWERS AND ABILITIES: 
Archangels:
Cosmic Awareness - All archangels and Metatron have a superhuman knowledge of the universe.

Electrokinesis - Able to manipulate and control electricity
Highly Advanced Chronokinesis - Ability to transfer anyone anywhere at any point and time for as long as they like. 
Highly Advanced Reality Warping - Like some Angels and Seraphs, Archangels can alter reality, albeit to a greater degree. This ability is better demonstrated by the archangel Gabriel, who can create anything he wants out of thin air and can even put people in a TV universe.
Immunity - Michael has displayed a limited immunity to holy fire as it only hurts him rather than being fatal. Lucifer has displayed immunity to the Colt, however it did cause him temporary pain. He could also only be temporarily contained by a combination of warding and holy fire. Angels are also immune to exorcisms.
Molecular Combustion - Archangels are able to render beings, including lower angels, down to their component molecules, causing them to explode.
Thermokinesis - ability to manipulate and control temperature
Weather Manipulation  - ability to manipulate and control weather 
PLUS......
Angels
Astral Projection - Angels can project shadowy forms of their wings onto surfaces at will. If one is killed by an Angel Blade, its wings are burned onto the surface on which they died.
Dream Walking - Angels can appear in people's dreams, they usually use this to communicate, when they can't find the person they're looking for, or want to talk privately
Electronic Manipulation - Angels can manipulate electrical appliances.
Flight - When angels are disembodied on Earth, they can fly anywhere they desire, usually in the form of bright smoke or pure light.

Immortality - Angels do not age and cannot be killed by any ailment or mortal damage. Some angels have existed since the beginning of time.
Invulnerability - To date, the only things capable of killing angels are Angel Blades, Holy Fire, a stronger angel, Death, God, The Darkness, and Leviathans. Archangels have even fewer weaknesses
Localization - Angels can localize any human who is not protected by enochian sigils.
Protective Charm - An angel can protect an individual from most forms of physical damage. This degree of protection is linked to an angel's power.
Pyrokinesis - the ability to manipulate and generate fire.
Regeneration - If an angel's vessel is damaged, it will repair itself nearly instantly unless the wound was caused by angelic weaponry.
Reality Warping - Angels are powerful enough to bend reality to their will. The more powerful the angel, the greater their capability. Even angels cut off from Heaven possess this power to some extent, examples include breaking and repairing objects by pointing at them, removing a persons lungs with no incisions or assembling a board game by shaking the box. Archangels possess this power to the greatest extent, being able to conjure items and beings out of nothing.
Sedation - Angels are able to render humans unconscious with a touch.
Smiting - Perhaps an angel's most versatile and terrifying weapon, smiting (sometimes known as the Killing Touch) allows the angel to kill almost any demon, monster and even humans with a touch. Smiting is often exhibited when angels place their hands or palms on their adversaries' face, forehead, or mouth.
Super Stamina - Angels never tire, and they do not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain themselves.
Super Strength - Once possessing a vessel, angels use their power to dramatically increase the physical strength threshold of their hosts. Their strength varies from angel to angel, depending on their position within the celestial hierarchy
Super Senses - All angels enhance their vessels senses to superhuman level. Angels possess an acute sense of smell. Their sense of smell is heightened to the point where they can identify people by smelling their body, bone or by their blood. Angels can also identify people by sniffing their genes and hormones as well. Because angels operate on a different plane of existence, they can see atoms and ions which are impossible for humans to see. Angels can hear a humans conversations miles away from them, and they are somehow able to locate any human on the planet and find them, but they can't locate people if they are protected by an Enochian charm or symbol.
Telekinesis - Angels are able to telekinetically move beings and objects with their mind. They are able to use this power in a more aggressive manner like demons, but are often not depicted as doing so.
Cherubium:
Matchmaking - Certain types of angels in the Cherub class, e.g. Cupids, use a special sigil called a Cupid's Bow to bring couples together. Couples touched by a cupid have their hearts marked with an enochian sigil.


WEAKNESSES:
Angel Banishing Spell - There is an exorcism chant to expel angels from their human vessels and send them back to heaven.
Angel Banishing Sigil - This sigil is capable of banishing angels, even an archangel.
Angel Depowering Sigil - A sigil capable of depowering an angel. Archangels are significantly weakened though not fully depowered by this.
Angel Imprisoning Sigil - It could temporarily imprison them. When imprisoned, they can lose their powers temporarily. The sigil also block any sound from inside of the warded room to be heard by any angels in outside of the room.
Angel Proofing Sigil - It prevents an angel from entering a room, or listening sounds coming from inside.

Angel trap - It's another way to trap angels besides Holy Fire.
Angel Suppressing Sigil - It is used to give control of a vessel to the human the angel is inhabiting.
Angel Ward - Angel wards are enochian-based symbols that prevent the entry of an angel from a certain location.
Enochian sigil - When Enochian sigils are placed on human rib cages, they prevent any type of angel from detecting and finding them. They can also be used to prevent angels from entering a building, capable of weaken the angel and they can also prevent an angel from hearing a conversation of those in a warded room.
Grace Removal - An angel's grace is what supplies it with Enochian magic, and therefore if it is removed they will be rendered powerless and mortal. Grace can be removed by slitting their throat with an angel blade and drawing it out of their vessel and/or spirit. The grace can then be consumed by any angel or placed inside a vial.
Hand of God - These items contain a portion of God's power and it can harm an archangel to a certain degree.
Hexbag - Hexbags can used to prevent angels from detecting and finding someone.

Holy Fire - Encased in a circle of flames created from Holy Oil, the angel is trapped. The trapped angel still can use some of their powers. Touching the flame will kill the vessel and the angel. However, it cannot kill Archangels and often it will only be a matter of minutes before they can get out. 
Hyperbolic pulse generator - It is capable of exorcising an angel, including an archangel from their vessel.

Lucifer's Cage - This cell can hold any angel without any internal means of escape.
Magical Brass Knuckles carved with Enochian sigil's - These magical knuckles can weaken, hurt and prevent an angel to use their powers temporarily.
Angel Blade/Sword - Any angel with the exception of archangels can be killed by stabbing him or her with an angelic blade or sword in a vital area of their vessel.

Archangel Blade - An archangel's blade is even capable of killing an archangel.
