Homebrew Angel Species Details
"We had fought for ages in defense of the town. Day by day passed as our enemies withered down our defenses. Friends died left and right. After breaching our walls, our enemies attacked a temple. It was their first mistake, and their last. As they entered the cathedral, they laid eyes upon the treasures gathered upon the altar with greed, and suddenly the sound heralding their defeat came through the air as clear as a bugle, and five legions of angels descended from the heavens. By the end not a single one had fallen, and yet, only a single soldier lived, to tell the tale of the vengeance of the heavens. For us, it was a sign of our God's favor."
Created to Serve
Angels, inevitably, are the servants of gods, created by the god in question. They typically take after their gods in personality, enabling a wide range of an angel's personality. Their interests will always be in line with those of their gods, and it would be dangerous to question otherwise.
The Perfection of Man
In many legends, humans think of perfect people, with immaculate bodies, deified strength performing gargantuan feats, who stand at near 7 feet in height, some even taller. These feats are not performed by the normal man, but by the servants of the gods themselves, carrying out their masters' wills.
