Names

Name are not a common thing among members of this race. Instead they go through great lengths to make their appearance and personalities unique. As travelers to new planes they sometimes earn nicknames from residents which they often cling to for the duration of their stay.

Age

As spirits manifested in physical form the Children of Light are ageless but tend to only exist in one plane without returning home for 2-3 years before complications arise as they grow weak and eventually turn to stone.

Alignment

By nature most children of the light trend towards good. Seeking to help as many beings as they can before they continue their travels.

Creature Type

You are considered to be both humanoid and celestial.

Languages

When the Children of Light speak like a heavenly song and the meaning is often recieved through telepathy. You can read, speak, and write Celestial.

Cloak Wings

As a bonus action you can channel your energy to cause a stream of energy to swirl around you letting you ascend 20ft into the air and begin a glide. (You drop 5ft at the start of each turn and move 20ft during each of your turns until you end the glide by landing or falling.) If your glide would ever be interrupted and you are unable to move 20ft or your movement speed is reduced to 0 before your turn then you fall. You can do this a number of times equal to 1 + your constitution modifier. You regain uses of this ability after a short or long rest.

Cleansing Light

You know light and the produce flame cantrips. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. In addition when you cast a spell that produces light, the radius of bright light is unimpaired by obscuring affects such as darkness and fog cloud as long as the light remains. If the source of light is ever removed while cleansing an obscuring affect the area would fill in with the obscuring affect.

Limited Telepathy

You can telepathically speak to any creature you see provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathy, but it must be able to understand at least one language. This process of communication is slow and limited, allowing you to transmit and receive only simple ideas and straightforward concepts.

Soul Candle

This candle, when you “summon” it as a bonus action, acts as if it has the Light cantrip on it permanently and it cannot be put out by anything normally. This candle shares your hitpoints and will only go out if you die. You can technically throw it as an action, yes, but it will immediately disintegrate into light upon contact, dealing 1d4 radiant damage (this will never scale) if you threw it at someone, causing the light sparks to boomerang back into your hand and reform into your candle. The candle will not set things on fire if used in this manner, but will set things on fire if you light them as if you would with a normal candle. 

Children of the Light. Traits

Reminiscent of humanoid children, these genderless beings come in many different shapes and colors but two things are common among all of them. Silver hair and radiant eyes that match what appears to be a marquise gem centered in their forehead. Giving them an appearance of what seems to be three eyes at a distance. Original made by Flavores.
