A kinship is a Second Sphere angel that resembles a golden-plated galley, complete with keel and oars. It's flared hull is colorfully decorated with red and white whorls. On its back – it's "deck" – is fixed a gilded, ornate box-like ark and cylindrical turret. At the bow is the kinship's sublime, mask-like face flanked by vestigial feathered wings. Below this face is a circular hole from which it can shoot a lethal beam of light. A perfect ring halo crowns the bow, emanating a sensation of solidarity. "It is thought that Kinship is the angelic manifestation of the ark that saved a foolish human race from the devastating flood described in the Book of Creation within the scriptures of Ithavoll."
The kinship's role is to ferry warrior angels to battlefields during war against forces of darkness. It creates a gate and arrives from the celestial plane with a blast of trumpets. The transported angels fly from the kinship's deck, as it supports them with salvos of holy missiles from its ark and beams of searing light. Some angels may remain on the kinship's deck, where they benefit from cover against those underneath. If foes land or climb onto its deck, it tries to pull them off with blocky anchors that whip out of its hull on chains. |
