Homebrew Angel Species Details

Angels are spiritual beings created by a lawful good deity to act as servants, messengers and warriors.

Angels are benevolent and dreadful, but not infallible; for they strive with each other, and their deity has to make peace between them. Most of them serve either as intermediaries between the outer plane and the material realm, or as guardian spirits. Some are here to protect, some are here to destroy life to open way for new life. Innocence is their nature to a certain degree. It is rare that they bring themselves to tell a falsehood, as dishonor such an alien concept to them.

Angels are referred to in connection with their spiritual missions; as for instance, the "angel which has redeemed", "an interpreter", "the angel that destroyed", "the messenger of the covenant", "angel of his presence", and "a band of angels of evil".

Exquisite Form

Angels have the shape of humanoids of extraordinary beauty, halos, and light. They stand taller than the average human. Some have fair hair ranging from white to light brown, whilst others are bald. They have blue and gold eyes of many shades from light to dark. They are slim and muscular. Angels have large feathery wings that span equal to their height and can be white, brown, silver or black, the average angel has one pair of wings but rare angels can even sometimes have two or three.

Some ranks of angels take the form of immaculate male or female humans or other humanoid race. Other angels have androgynous bodies of transcendental beauty.

ANGEL BACKGROUNDS

Angels do not interact with mortals unless instructed to do so by their deity, as they are such fragile and innocent souls, but few in the past have chosen to wander the material realm learning how the beings live. However, there are times when the world below requires the presence of an angel to deal with a problem. An adventuring angel is weighed down by the material realm, unable to maintain their full divine power. Over time, they can learn to tap into their true form.
