Homebrew Aengel Species Details

There are legends of angels falling from grace, thus losing their birthright and becoming something else. Such stories generally tell the tale of the most extreme of situations, but this is not always the case. Sometimes an angel starts to believe that the greater good can only be achieved outside the confines of heaven. Such angels don’t fall but are removed from heaven’s hierarchy. As a result, their granted powers gradually grow dim, and they become aengels.

 

Lıfe wıthout Blessıngs

It takes some time for most aengels to grow accustomed to a life without the blessings of deities and the protection of heaven. As aengels lose their clear perspective of the heavens, their memories of heaven start to fade. They lose their grip on magic, their excellent awareness, and their legendary capabilities. In fact, in the instant they leave heaven,they feel naked, disoriented, and lost before they start to adapt to their new life.

 

Looks of an Aengel

Aengels are genderless, their bodies may resemble a woman’s, or a man’s; both or neither. Their skin is perfectly smooth and varies in shade from dark green to dark orange. Their eyes have a slight glow, mostly white or light blue. They still carry the wings of an angel on their backs, but these wings are smaller than before.

 

Aengels ın Socıety

Aengels seek perfection in everything and are hence disappointed in the imperfect world that they are banished to. Because they are used to perfection, their criticisms of other creatures or their surroundings may sometimes be a bit harsh. As a result, they don’t get along well with others and are mostly forced to live a life of solitude. 

 

Aengel Names

Aengels almost always continue to use the names they had as angels. In some rare cases, they adopt new names, in accordance with their new earthly experiences.

Original Names: Aoriel, Duvrael, Tivreel, Uminiel, Zeradel

New Names: Fartraveler, Justblade, Mindboggler, Skyseer, Swiftarrow

 

Aengel Traits

I had never seen such a variety of colors in one place. At least a dozen buckets were filled with hues of nature. He was dipping a massive brush in those buckets, dancing across a wide boulder, painting it with precise brushstrokes. My curiosity bested me and I approached him to ask what he was doing. He said that he was painting the enormous boulder as an expression of his feelings about being removed from heaven’s hierarchy, so it could be seen from the heavens. I took him in and sheltered him from the evil that lurked outside the temple walls. Eventually, his curiosity about the world got the best of him, and he chose to leave this protection behind. I’ve missed him ever since. I sincerely hope that he can see the gray amid the black and white; that he can differentiate law and evil from all that lies in between. - Saint Orea
