Homebrew Angel Species Details

Physical Description
Angels stand taller than the average man. Their hair can range in shades even though they tend to have lighter colors between white and light brown. Angels have blue to green and gold to hazel eyes that range from light to darker tones. They are naturally slim and muscular, forming an ideal body. Angels have large feathery wings that span equal to their height and can be white, brown, silver or black, the average angel has 2 wings but higher level or particularly blessed angels may have 4 or even 6.

History
Angels avoid interacting with the mortal world as their Gods do and the short lives of most mortals as well the darkness of their fragile and innocent souls leaves little for such beings of purity and light to desire there. However, few in the past have been given permission to wander the material realm and in times when the world requires the presence of an angel to snuff the flames of evil.

Society
Angelic society is largely unknown and largely dependent on the god the Angel serves. A general consensus is that Angels are the guardians of the heavens and tend to the souls of the dead after they have passed into the afterlife but beyond that, not much detail is known about the specific day to day life of an Angel that isn't on a mission from their god.
