Angels tend to range in age. They are mostly ageless, so could be of any age, but to become fallen they would need to be at least 121 years of age as 20 is the youngest an angel will be allowed to venture down to the Mortal Plane and they'd need to spent at least 100 years in the mortal plane without returning to Heaven in order to fall.

‍

Recommended Starting Ages

Holy Angel: 50 - 500 years depending on how often they visit the mortal plane or if they've just started after spending a period in Heaven.

Fallen Angel: 121 - 700 years, this is including 100 years straight spend in the Mortal Plane without returning to heaven.

‍

There are two types of Angel. Holy and Fallen.

‍

Holy Angels

Holy angels are distinguishable by their pure white wings, the majority of them have a sort of invisible halo that's only seen when smoke, mist or fog like substances surround them. They don't refer to themselves as 'Holy' that's something mortals dubbed them with, however they do seem to enjoy the reverence.

‍

They have a distinct distaste towards ALL demons, All Goblins, The Nonrid, The Weres and all humans. Other species they tend not to really have an opinion on.
‍

Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels are those who've stayed too long on the mortal plane, that or they've simply done something that goes against their own moral code so much that they've taken a steep dive on their humanity levels. This alone immediately can cause them to go in to the final hours just a week or two after they have committed whatever act has caused their humanity to drop so vastly.

Fallen Angels still have a distrust for most demons, however this is just them being wary thanks to their original Holy Angel upbringing.

Most individuals due to the ideals and the image that some Churches have built think Angels are benevolent beings, that they are on a pedestal and are truly good creatures. This isn't the case, most of the time they are lacking a moral compass to guide them.

‍

Some would assume that angels all have the same appearance, they do not. They either have their vessels appearance if they're in one or they've some horrific form, sometimes it's pure light that will burn a person's eyes out of their head, occasionally it's a form that's difficult to understand, and other times it's something that should 'not exist' to the human mind, so difficult to perceive, so reality breaking in appearance that the human mind cannot take it and will break.

‍

Angels are far from the 'beautiful' beings or 'children with wings' that many have associated them with.

Angels do what is good for them not necessarily for humanity or other planes of existence. In fact the Angels are often a little racist towards humans as a species calling them ‘mud monkey’ amongst other things.

‍

Only an Angel who has built a rapport with humanity would consider them anything other than stupid or ignorant animals. Most Angels believe themselves to be better than most, but there are a few who believe they’re no better than any other creature on the ‘mortal plane’. Those are the ones that come down to the mortal plane to help with the dirty work of keeping two or more realities apart.

‍

While their brethren and kin try to usher in an apocalypse or two to 'Wipe the slate clean' as the 'Gods' either don't exist or are no longer amongst the Angels.

‍

Sadly, giving their loyalty to the people and creatures they swear to protect, these Angels have to possess a human body or vessel that’s able to contain their almost eldritch horror like selves so that they don't cause any side effects to humanity.

‍

Contacts - ANGEL WHISPERS

Angel Whispers is a unique contact perk for Angels and Fallen Angels. They can hear the whispers of heaven meaning that regardless of where they are, they are in the know about ANY big news going on in that particular plain of existence. This means that it's incredibly useful if Angels are hunting something that likes to travel between the planes of existence as it will become big news in the Heavens and as such any Angel would be able to 'tune in' and listen to the chatter. Fallen Angels while they can listen to Angel Whispers cannot interact unlike their white winged brethren. Players can ask once a session if they can listen to the Angel Whispers or when a big event happens.

‍

WING DETERIORATION

Angels who stay and walk amongst humanity for too long, find that their wings slowly begin to deteriorate. It comes in four stages.

STAGE 1

An angel lives and walks amongst humanity for at least 100 years. After this 100 years they start to question the roles of Angels. This is the first sign that they are in stage one wing deterioration. When they show their wings during this stage they are no longer the pristine white they would usually be, they turn an off white/cream colour instead.
‍

STAGE 2

Feathers start to have the ends turn a gray colour, often starts as gray splotches on the feathers and gradually over the next 50 or so years these splotches spread across all their feathers.

‍

STAGE 3

This is where things start to speed up, within a few years the wings turn a charcoal gray colour, all over, there's barely any white left at all. Some feathers will start to fall off the wing structure and will not regrow.

‍

STAGE 4 - FALLEN

At this stage the angel who is falling will have been on the mortal plain for 200 years. This is where their wings turn black, this blackening of feathers and wings will happen over the short span of a few days, and this is where the Angel is a ticking time bomb. Their repelling feature against demons stops working, they can see the Other without needing to lose humanity and they find that they're feeling a lot more pain in their wings and back than usual.

Anyone near them during the 'final hours' is at risk of immediate vaporization. The final hours consist of their wings starting to heat up rapidly and cool down rapidly. Once the hours are over, the wings themselves explode leaving just scar tissue behind on the angel, they are ejected from their vessel and are forced to take a human like form for themselves.

VESSELS

Pros

The joy of being a vessel is that usually they won't die. They also walk away from this being able to tell who's a demon and who's not, with knowledge of Enochian as a language and with a longer lifespan [continuing from when the angel leaves them] as any ailments they had as a human will have been cured.
‍

Cons

Vessels remember nothing of what an angel has done while in their body. Vessels often find that they've missed years of their families lives, that they might be wanted by the police or that they might have a target upon their back thanks to the angel in question having done something to a member of another species.
