Homebrew Fallen Angel Species Details
Once revered as divine messengers, Fallen Angels were celestial beings who defied the laws of their pantheon, either through acts of rebellion, compassion for mortals, or forbidden love. Cast out of the heavens, they now exist as broken remnants of their former glory, their wings tattered, their radiance dimmed, and their purpose shrouded in sorrow. Their once-pristine forms are marred by scars, their eyes flickering with a mix of celestial light and shadow.
Fallen Angels are driven by a complex mix of guilt, longing, and defiance. Some seek redemption, hoping to reclaim their place in the divine order, while others embrace their fall, vowing to carve their own path free from celestial authority. They are often solitary wanderers, though some form uneasy alliances with mortals, fiends, or other outcasts. Their culture is steeped in rituals of mourning and defiance, with songs of lost paradise and tales of forbidden love.

Now blackened like charcoal and tattered from the fall they are no longer able to fly as faster or high as there purdier breathren.
Fallen Grace
While most of their holy magic has been stripped from their bodies there is still a small bit inside of them allowing for them to do minor blessings and holy fire. while major blessings are impossible to them the small act that they can do send them on the path of redemption.
Shadowed Soul Resistance
While most of their divinity has been stripped from their bodies the little that is left allows for minor protection against holy attacks. But the fall has made them venerable to the corruption of the unholy.
Desperate Resolve
While immortality is no longer an option for fallen angels there are points when they are close to death that the seal on their immortality weakens just enough to give them the strength heal their wounds but the energy that it takes makes the magic weaker to the point that it is near being gone.
