Homebrew Blood Angel Species Details
Mixed Breed
Blood Angels are a rare race, born of a tiefling and an aasimar. Often being hidden from the world, their very existence being a contradiction, Blood angels are brought up by one, or both of their parents in seclusion. This choice is often made with knowledge that both Deorum, and Purgatory might take actions to prevent the growth of blood angels, or because of the stigma around a Blood Angels war potential, brought about by the actions of the earliest Blood Angels. None of this is helped by the fact that Blood Angels are often stronger than their parents, with a larger range of skills, and a natural inclination to combat. Whilst being a mix of both Devil and Celestial can often cause a Blood Angel doubts about their purpose and their existence, it can be said with ease that they are no doubt stronger from the fact.
