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 height 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.
