Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels

What They are:
Angels that have fallen from Heaven and been cast down onto Earth for their Sin.

Typical Appearances:
Bi-pedal, human-like appearances. While they seem human for the most part, some do have wings. Depending on how bad their offence was that got them thrown out of heaven, some were able to keep their wings.
Those who have their wings usually have dark brown, grey, or black feathers and the wings are often disfigured from the fall. Unlike angels, fallen angels have lost that luminous aura that people mistake for "halos". Their auras are much darker, as to reflect their personalities.

Origins:
Before humans were created, there were several highly ranked angels that had the most control over heaven. Amongst these was Lucifer, who was considered to be the favourite angel in the group. He was very powerful, though he was corrupt within.
This corruption was shown briefly after the creation of humanity, when something within him changed. It is not known for sure what gave him a hatred to humans-- jealousy, perhaps, is the most common theory-- but he did hate them from the moment they were made.
A persuasive angel, he was able to turn many other angels to his thinking, which lead to the downfall of humanity (the tempting of Eve by the serpent in Eden), as well as the downfall of many other angels.
Upon losing the war, Lucifer was cast down from heaven and thrown into Hell.
Those he worked closest with and those who were as corrupt as he was, were also cast down into Hell.
Their wings were stripped and they were given new qualities, leading to the creation of demons and Hell itself. However, there were some that were fortunate to be cast down to Earth and banished therefore the rest of their lives. There were known as the fallen angels. Their genetics did not change, but some were stripped of their wings depending on how bad of an offence they made.

One Could Have Fallen. There are several ways an angel could fall:
• Having sided with Lucifer during the Celestial War and not surrendering.
• Being the parent to a nephilim. This means they have to have had a half-angel, half-human child.
• Attempting any sort of suspicious activity that could be considered a threat to angels or humans.
• Associating oneself with Lucifer or any demonic form.

Powers/Abilities:
Manipulation and Summoning of Heavenly fire (stronger and more powerful than regular fire), being able to speak all languages (including the language of Enochian, the angelic language), telepathy with other angels, and being in possession of a "flame sword" that will only work for them. Some also find themselves developing other elemental abilities the more time they spend on earth.

Limitations:
Fallen can never re-enter heaven

Aging:
Fallen do not age as they are Angelic. Though they can die as they will never re-enter heaven

Grouping:
Fallen are always solitary
