Homebrew Fallen Angel Species Details
Fallen angels are angels that have fallen from the grace of God, or whatever higher power, due to having "impure thoughts" that divert them from the purpose of the higher power.
Despite being cast out of Heaven, fallen angels and their subordinates have been known to occupy churches and use them as bases. However, they go out of their way to destroy all of the religious icons in these churches in the process out of spite for their former leader.
After falling from grace, the angels recouped in churches, taking them over and amassing power among the humans. Although, because of their black wings, priests and others deep in their religion resent them for betraying the higher power.
The fallen angels have very close relationships with those who are close to them, but since they were banished by the deity they have many trust issues with strangers. The fallen angels will do anything for those very close to them. However, for strangers or mere acquaintances, they will not hesitate to leave them to die unless there is a sure reward that is worth it. Fallen angels love to tempt fate, as they do not believe it truly exists. Thus, they also have a tendency to like gambling.
Many fallen angels have been known to align with good, evil, or neutral.
Although Fallen tend not to trust strangers that does not stop them from trying to manipulate them for their benefit, Using their cunning wit or lovely charms to get what they want. Stories and rumors of fallen angels have always painted them in a bad light, with most shunning gods and being called heretics by the churches. While most of the fallen have rejected the gods. There are still some few exceptions who wish to try and redeem themselves in their god's eye.
