Guardian Angel

Now you have been called on by your deity, who has sent you to the mortal plane, as a Guardian Angel with the objective of protecting a singular person who plays a greater part in the grand scheme of the universe.

Suggested Characteristics

Guardian Angels aren't born, they are made. When good people do great deeds, they earn a place in their afterlife, with their deities. Not because they deserve it, but because they earned it. They are almost exclusively Lawful Good but their races can vary.

Their personalities usually tend to be good and their desires are often good-natured, such as protecting those who need it.
