Shoulder angel are tiny celestials that serves as a guide and protector to those in need of gentle counsel. These beings radiate a calming, benevolent aura, often appearing as glowing, winged figures with a soft, ethereal light. Their true purpose is to offer assistance, guide decisions, and provide comfort in moments of turmoil, all while remaining unseen by others unless they choose to reveal themselves. Physically, Shoulder Angels are small and delicate, often able to fit comfortably on the shoulders of those they accompany, hence their name. They typically possess a faint, radiant glow and are known for their quiet, but profound influence on the world around them. Shoulder Angels are often tasked with helping those who seek guidance, offering quiet advice and encouragement. Their devotion to the forces of good is unwavering, and they actively seek out those who might be struggling with their moral compass or need direction in difficult times. While they may be small in stature, their influence is far-reaching, often shifting the course of events subtly through their interactions. Personality and Lore: Shoulder Angels are known for their gentle personalities and strong sense of duty. They act as the celestial counterparts to conscience and inner wisdom, and they are especially present during times of crisis, offering clarity and comfort. They communicate through a quiet, inner voice or the subtle flutter of their wings, imparting wisdom at the right moment to guide individuals towards the path of righteousness. In most cases, they are invisible to others unless they wish to be seen, appearing only to those they serve or to those in need of their guidance. Though not typically combatants, a Shoulder Angel is more than capable of defending themselves or their charges if the situation demands it, using their divine powers to weaken enemies of goodness and law. Shoulder Angels are often seen by mortals as symbols of hope, a celestial touchstone that reminds people that even in dark times, they are not alone. Those who are favored by a Shoulder Angel may find themselves blessed with unexpected moments of clarity and wisdom in the midst of their daily lives. Variant: Shoulder Angel Familiar: Some shoulder angel are willing to serve good-aligned spellcasters as a familiar, gaining the traits of a familiar. Good-aligned warlocks can also have conjure shoulder angels as part of their pact of the chain. |
