Righteous. Just. Holy. The antithesis to Demons.
History
Descendant from the ancient beings of love. They are in turn loved and respected within most cultures throughout time. And feared. Despite their rarity, Angels have developed a strong reputation of intensity. Heralds of both virtue and calamity. Saviors of the righteous and punishers of the evil. But the strongest contributor to their reputation is from the third crisis, The Angelic Purging, when most sided with their ancient kin against the other sentient species.
Outside of the crisis. Their involvement is sparse through most of history. Angels try to avoid picking sides in mortal wars. But sometimes arrive to save a people from impending destruction from natural forces or forces they deem evil.
Culture
Angels hold others to a high standard, and themselves to an even higher standard. An Angel behaving in a poor manor will quickly find others of their species correcting them. Harshly. That is not to say they ignore the failures of the more common species.
That said, Angels are quick to support one another. They care little for rank and power, and when among other Angels, act in a very equalitarian manner. They occupy many places of authority. Advisors to Kings and leaders of temples for example.
Physicality
Angels are similar to Humans and have similar range in appearance. Though, most agree they always represent the epitome of ideal characteristics. Differing from Human frames, Angels have feathery wings of white, black, or silvery color. And their skin has a metallic sheen.
Common Names
Angels have soft, airy names. Often Angels refer to themselves by earned names and titles. Cassiel, Mirien, Aramor, Hope, Protection, Mercy
Physical Heritage
A slight metallic sheen accompanies the skin of those with angelic blood.
