Homebrew Fallen Angel Species Details
Fallen angels are those who fell and lost the majority of their angelic powers, and begin a new life with or without memories from the past.
Falling From Grace
An angel needs to experience an extremely traumatic event to fall from grace. They cannot be born with evil in their hearts, and this purity is also why they become fanatics of their new cause if they fall. They do not know how to feel evil naturally; they learn, they taste it inordinately. Once an angel takes a sip from the cup of evil, they want to embrace it completely. They may become Fallen instantly, or may experience an interval of suspicion and denial before it fully happens.
Angelic Ancestry
Angels were created in the heavens by the pure powers of law and good, and even the ones who resist Worshiping them cannot fully escape their influence. Although they can stop being good creatures, most of them can’t stop being lawful. They tend to be calm, they act wisely, and most of them become zealous protectors of their new ways.
Beyond their alignments, their origins and past never abandon them, or leave them alone. They are sought by other angels, for either atonement or retribution.
A Lonely Life
Many fallen angels generally live lonely lives. They may pass the time trying to win the battle they have started against their pasts or pursue their goals. On their paths to reach the end of their quests, they can be a part of an unholy adventuring party or they can form their own cults or organizations.

Angelic Enemies
Although you lost some of the Angelic powers you had before, you know that you still possess the powers bestowed upon you when you were created. This is also known by your former allies. They do not want you to become a servant to an archdevil or to lead undead armies. They want to hunt you down. They may want to capture you, or consecrate you, or directly put an end to your existence.

You have resistance to necrotic and poison damage, and vulnerability to radiant damage. You also have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.
Words of The Fallen
Once you spoke the most peaceful words of creation, your voice put crying babies to sleep. Now, your very existence brings pain with it, and your words make all who hear them tremble in their bones. You can use these words on a target who can hear you within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or it is frightened for 1 minute or until it takes damage (DC is Charisma-based). Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Celestial. You can also choose one more language appropriate to your new goals or deity, at the GM’s discretion.
