Minor Angel (5e Race)

Minor Angel

“	We were supposed to be protectors, guardians, only watching never interfering. Now look at us meddling in the affairs of mortals like it's just another day.... it's disgraceful.	”
—Sariel 'Watcher from up high'

Physical Description

Minor Angels are quite similar to humans at first glance, the only key distinct features being the pure white wings that make even freshly fallen snow or the feathers of a dove look impure in comparison, along with eyes that glow of radiant light. Some of these minor angels were created with multiple sets of wings with most having only one set, others have been seen with having two or three. Whilst corrupted members have frayed wings that work out of sheer spite and eyes that burn with the most intense hatred.

History

Angels have always been around since time in memoriam. While originally only watching from above and interfering only when the gods willed it, recently some of the more minor members have been reported in the realms helping mortals who are either down on there luck or in bad spots. Some have even resorted to declaring war against devils who have made deals with mortals thinking that they can free them from such accords.

Society

The society of angels are as strict as they come, with those at the top making all the important decisions and the lesser following them. There are outliers however and those that act against what they consider the Radiant Order are considered outcasts and are typically shunned. There are also those who have fully rejected the Order and have fallen being deemed lost and corrupted resulting in darker beings who represent chaos. All angels who go against the order are hunted down by hunter squads.

Minor angel Names

The names of angels are typically smooth and pleasing to hear due to the purity in their voice, this is not applied to the corrupted brothers and sisters since the light has been perverted inside them. These names sound aggressive and forced upon the listener as if the sound was unnatural and disturbing not to mention upsetting. Names do usually represent them however and reflect what they either are or once were.

pure Male: Valor, Courage, Lucifer, Inquisitor

Corrupted Male: Reaper, Ravager, Stalker, Shadow

Corrupted Female: Fury, Void, Frenzy, Harpy

Pure Female: Mercy, Hope, Petal, Joy
