Homebrew FALLEN ANGEL Species Details

**Fallen Angels**

Fallen Angels are cursed beings. After living their lives as angels, they made mistakes. They hurt others. Hurt themselves. Did something to hurt the gods in ways that they only understand.

After being sworn to silence for their mistake, their wings are not cut like the legend says. Instead, they are cursed. Given a symbol they can never forget. Branded with black wings and dark eyes, and given horrible scars across their body. Forever a symbol of their mistakes and misfortunes.

Fallen Angels are often loners, outcasts, and rebels. They have dedicated themselves to the gods, only to ruin it by selfishness and ignorance. The gods punish them for their crimes, and cast them out in the world to be ridiculed and seen as the very mistake they committed.

The gods keep them alive. Any attempts to end their suffering leave them with just scars and memories.

They are on the taller side, with large black wings and red or black eyes. They are seen by others, humans, and other races alike, as the very curse that haunts them. They are often ridiculed and face a horrible life for their crimes. Often taken in as slaves, maids, second hand people, murderers for hire, and executioners. They are often feared, people avoiding them on the street and hiding their children away from them.

**Their secret**

When an Angel commits the crime that makes them a Fallen Angel, they are sworn to secrecy. They are to never talk about their crimes. Forever letting it fester in their very being.

**Appearance**

Fallen Angels are typically tall beings. They are normally muscular with harsher features. They have black wings, scars across their body from the torture they experienced as punishment for their crimes, and black or red eyes.
