Homebrew Angel Species Details
Angels are holy beings created by a deity in the multiverse. The Angel's main purpose is to be a warrior, messenger, and diplomat to their god. Angels are extremely loyal to their creator and to their companions. Angels mostly reside in the home of their creator, and as such rarely leave their home. There are certain circumstances that force the Angels out of their home to the world of mortals such as fighting in a war to tip the favor towards their god, or other times, to balance out the scales of good and evil.

Age
Angels are immortal, living from the day they were created until the end of time. If an Angel dies, bright divine light shines out from the eyes, mouth, and wound. The light is too blinding for mortals to look upon, and as such can cause temporary blindness if within 10 feet, unless a successful constitution saving throw of 15 is made. As the light fades, people can see a blackened outline of the Angel's wings burned into the surrounding area, extending from the body.
Immunities
Angels are immune to diseases and are unable to be charmed as well as being resistant to radiant damage.
Alignment
Angels are holy beings created by a deity in the multiverse. While their god may be of the evil side of the balance, the Angels tend to stay toward the lawful side of things.
Winged Beings
Angels are warriors, messengers, and diplomats to the deity they were created from. They help in all the affairs of their god and as such their god needs them to be able to reach their destination as fast as they can. Thus, their creator(s) gave them wings to help them reach distances far away in a timely fashion and to aid them in their affairs. The wingspan of the Angel is 20ft tip to tip. The Angel's wings are invisible to everyone, except the Angel, and are only visible when willed to be. Angel wings vary in color, though mostly, they are of the purest white. Angels have a flying speed of 40 feet.
Speed
Your walking speed is 35ft.
