Countless Past Lives

Whenever a Deva dies, they return to the Astral Sea to be reincarnated. A Deva will sometimes experience sudden flashes of their past selves, showing often times giving enlightenment on a tricky situation. When Devas grow very old, they will oftentimes be able to exercise some limited control of these flashbacks, sometimes going into meditative states to gain counsel from their past selves. This control is severely limited when not in the Astral Sea. Unlike Demons and Devils, even if a Deva is killed in the Astral Plane, they are still reincarnated.

Moral Beings

A Deva is constantly in a state of flux between good and evil. When a Deva accumulates enough negative energy, they will not be reincarnated as the divine being they once were, but as an evil Rakshasa. Due to this, Devas live their lives very carefully, ensuring that they do not go down the wrong path.

Servats of the Gods

Long ago, Devas served the gods in the Dawn War as their foot soldiers. Battling alongside Planetars and Solars, the Devas were the weakest of the angels, yet still incredibly powerful. Devas remember snippets of the Dawn War, yet most of the time that has fallen into myth and legend, among all but the gods and their most powerful servants.
