Homebrew Flügel Species Details

As the Flügels were created to kill gods, their very body can easily break physical limitations. Using their magical skills, they were said to teleport into anywhere they can see, or where they have visited. Also, their strongest attacks are formed by stealing the energy of nearby Primordial, or Elementals.

Created for War

The Flügels name in celestial usually reads as construct angels or divine messengers, but many note that they are more alike to demons, as they hold powers of mass-destruction and have massacred countless beings during ancient wars.  After the demise of their creator, a now unnamed Old Deus, the race is all but nearly extinct the only remaining ones being sealed or destroyed. The Flügel killed numerous celestials and fiends in the past, so they share a hatred for the Flügels, which are known as angels of death.

Flügel appear as mostly beautiful humanoids with wing-shaped ears, and have a large, rotating, circular halo above themselves. The halo rests with a translucent multicolored pattern imprinted on it. As a Flügels emotions become more pronounced, so does the specific color of their halo, changing in density, hue and translucency with their mood. Some are even documented to have fiendish features like tails or horns.

An overly calm Flügel will have a soft, powder blue or silver with a decent amount of translucence retained, while an angry Flügels halo will be a deep red or black, with almost no translucence. The specific colors and their meaning are still in the process of being documented.

Flügels usually have unique colored hair and eyes that can go across all spectrums, and their eyes can even be heterochromatic.  Their Irises can be a mix of either symbols, shapes, or colors depending on the Flügel, which usually tells others their fighting style. Flügel's also have two, large, heavily feathered wings. Which will be white, or black which many celestial creatures at the time favored. The God of War created them using various parts of other Deus's creations and perfected them to a singular purpose.

 

Thirst for Knowledge

Due to their nature, Flügels tend to have violent thoughts and are condescending towards other races below them.  However, due to an unspecified number of years sealed away, they can quickly become excited at the prospect of mystery or the outside world.  Some have devoted their entirety to gathering knowledge to add to their personal library of information. 

Trivia or History

The Flügels are known to have collected the skulls of their slain enemies and display them in their homes. Being weapons of war, the Flügels are believed to not possess the emotion of love (or rather not truly able to grasp its meaning). They do seem to have the rest of the wide range of emotions (Mostly bloodlust and curiosity). Flügels have no sense of shame, and often in battle even if they lose their equipment they will continue to chase or fight their enemy without any hesitation.
