Bloodied Fallen Angel (5e Race)

Bloodied Fallen Angel

“	All have fallen, bloodied cairn, who keeps their angel, unawares. Corrupt keeper, broken wing, empty vase, bloody king. Tonight his torment shall not falter, who gives their angel unto the altar.	”
—Anonymous Poet

Physical Description

A bloodied fallen angel is an angelic creature with wings dripping with crimson blood and blotched red skin. They are usually thin, nearly emaciated, but are still quite muscular with dark eyes of red, purple, or black. The blood of their wings ripples with the songs of their victims, and they refuse to cover or fix the many scars across their bodies; some are even self-inflicted. They cannot stand still, always fidgeting and shaking when forced into one place or sitting down. Despite being so intimidating, one cannot help but pity the pain and fear and shame that can never leave their eyes.

History

Bloodied fallen angels come into existence when a demon corrupts a Fallen Angel, forcing them into eternal torment. They are a symbol of war and chaos for many and are typically feared by men of peace and revered by men of violence. Over the centuries, very few fallen angels have been seduced so deeply into evil, and most who do are killed by their brethren soon after. They are the enemies of all creatures, and very few have been able to avoid being hunted, typically by giving their lives in service to someone else.

Society

Bloodied fallen angels cannot earn a place of high social status amongst mortals or celestials, as they are both feared and hated for who they are. Religious figures are wary of them, and so they are almost never allowed in holy sites of temples or churches. They are often nomadic, traveling to points of war and conflict just to feed their insatiable desire for death. Those who aren't are typically serving some greater master or masters, like some sort of weapon of war to be hidden away when it's not needed. Some scholars even call them "the demon's dirae", despite them having nothing to do with the dirae.
