Half Angel (5e Race)

Half Angels

“

I'm half orc, I don't know what the other half could be.

”

Physical Description

Very similar to humans in shape, half-angels appear as beautiful, thinner and taller versions of their non-angelic parent race. They tend towards lighter skin, hair, andeye colors, though all tones and colors present in their mortal parent's race are possible. Matured angels can manifest a pair of wings that appear to either be material feathers or made of ethereal light.

Society

When an angel decides to mingle amongst the populace an angelic rule of purity is broken and a Half-Angel is made. Half-angels have a rough going about of things, they are usually shunned by angel kind due to their "unjust" means of coming into being. The non-angel parent is usually responsible for raising them, tending to try and keep the heritage a secret from the child. They tend to take on more of the cultural aspects of the non-angel parent and whatever tribe or village they are living in. When the angel aspects become more apparent as they age, some societies may react with awe and amazement and others with fear and disgust.

Half Angel Names

Half-Angels typically take on the name more in line with the race of the non-angel parent. However, on the rare occasion the angelic parent left a name for the child, it would be a positive aspect.

Male: Power, Shine, Strength

Female: Glimmer, Harmony, Beauty
