Ascended Seraphim, BB Variant (3.5e Race)

Ascended Seraphim, BB Variant

An Ascended Seraphim, BB Variant is beyond the pinnacle for the angel evolution line. This is the final form of the Angel evolution line. This is an Angel that had gained Divinity. Two race hybrids of this race may exist. A hybrid provides all the benefits of the other race and all the benefits of this race; except, all numeric values are halved (good and bad). When evolving, this creature can never be a non-hybrid race. If some means forces this (wish spell, divine power, etc.), a creature of this race looses the benefits of its hybrid race, but does not gain the full value of a pure breed of this race.

Personality

Angels have a normal human range of personalities, for the most part. Angels however, tend to be more passive than humans, and act more with less emotions than a standard human. Angels, while not completely apathetic, tend to indulge in emotions less often than otherwise. Angels do have a full range of emotions, including negative emotions, but tend towards the more positive of the spectrum. Kindness, generosity, and caring are the bread and butter of any angel; however, angels have evolved a natural caution of being taken advantage of, making angels slow to trust non-angels despite their desires.

Physical Description

Angels more often than not have a pale white skin tone that almost glows in the sunlight. Some angels however, may have a blueish tint to their skin. Wings grow out the back of an angel, starting near the shoulderblade and continuing down towards the backbone (when more than one pair of wings is present). Otherwise, Angels appear very similar to humans (though in bright sunlight, at just the right angle, an ethereal halo can sometimes appear, more akin to a golden circular rainbow than a solid however).

Relations

Angels have the same range of relations to all factions, that is individually, except for Demons. Demons are always despised by a good Angel. Racially, there is an aversion to Demons. Well, Demons and abominations...

Alignment

Angels can be of any alignment except Evil. Typically, however, they favor Good alignments.

Lands

It has been said that there is not a land without at least one Angel. Angels are magnanimous, constantly looking for new regions to save and sanctify. Though, originally, Angels live in celestial planes.

Religion

Angels often have a near worship to a specific god (of a Good alignment), believing he or she to be the only true God. A god to worship is not necessary however, and many Angels consider a concept of existence (Judgment, Honor, Kindness, etc.) to be sacrosanct instead of being-worship.

Language

Angels are trained to know Celestial and Common. They can learn any languages, however, and regularly are known to be fluent in all known languages, even the most rare.
