Homebrew fallen angel Species Details

Creatures of beauty in both mind and body, crafted to form the ideal form of beauty by their creator. They served their deity following their tenants. Usually of similar or standing taller than that of a human, despite their other shared features. Holding the grace of their deity, they had wings of a snow white image, now they are tainted black to mark their betrayal. Other than the pair of black feathered wings on their backs, they are nearly identical to humans with a large variety of eye and skin colors.

History
Created to serve their lord, these divine beings were once creatures of purity & lawful goodness, until something brought them to clash with their god & they were struck down. Fallen from grace, they began to change from being in the mortal ream for too long. They often strive to return to their lord's graces, others seek retribution, and others strike out to become their own person, accepting that they may never be allowed back.

Society
Most do not wish to communicate with one another as many come from different gods, leading to most living in seclusion or mending into other society. They live their lives peacefully until they die or find retribution. If they do gather, it is to strike at a god and thus makes them more of an army than a real society.

 

fallen angel Traits

You are an Angel, Banished to the mortal Plains. You have a choice to make, but what path will you choose?

angelic immortality

You were forged in the form of an Adult with the appearance between 19-45 years of age and will not age past the form you were forged in. You don't need to eat, nor do you need to drink in order to survive, but sleep now curses your body as a need like everyone else. You do not require air as breath isn't needed to live, however, you will suffer the same pain and stress as mortals would during suffocation, and prolonged suffocation causes you to fall unconcious. While you are untouched by time and not affected by illness or diseases, you can still be poisoned or murdered. Though this is true, because of your divine nature, the only thing that gives you the final blow is the damage of radiant or necrotic nature along with weapons of Very Rare, and Legendary status, or even an Artifact. If you are not killed by the required damage, then you will simply be rendered unconscious until properly destroyed, or until you've successfully recovered from the encounter.
