Angels - Fallen

[Trillian]

FALLEN ANGELS
 
Rarity
Occasional
 
Personality
Angels that have fallen have committed a heinous moral crime and have been cast out of the heavenly plane.  The plane that is the closest connected is the Earthly plane, therefore Fallen Angels tend to find themselves among mortals (instead of landing on one of the many demonic or Fae planes, for instance).
The crime would have to be the product of one of the seven deadly sins:
Lust: Self-indulgent sexual desire
(note (specific): coveting sex without the interest of love – an angel will not fall if they are a homosexual, please don’t use that as a reason or your character won’t be approved)
Gluttony: Wasting of food
(note: taking more than one could actually consume is gluttonous, it doesn’t necessarily mean they actually eat a lot)
Avarice (Greed): Wanting more material possessions than are necessary
Sloth: Laziness or idleness, not wishing to work
Wrath: Anger, hatred and revenge
Envy: Jealousy, resentment of others for their possessions
Pride: Vanity, to care about one’s appearance or station above all else
OR they will also fall if they are enamoured by or are in love with one of their enemies (see Angels sheet, Allies and Enemies section).
 
Fallen Angels are free to become whoever they wish to be, and can be good, or evil, or somewhere in between. The choice is theirs.
They can also choose to become a Dark Angel, should they perform a fire ritual and take the life of an innocent in a blood ritual (murder).
 
Lifespan
Fallen Angels: They lose their immortality when they fall. If they are a fully matured Angel when they fall, they start aging from 25 years old.
 
Appearance
They all have wings. Fallen Angel wings change to become either black or red.
Fallen angels cannot hide their wings, but they can cut them off. A lot of fallen angels choose to do this because the black or red wings shame them. Sometimes they don’t have to, because their depression makes them moult. The ones that keep their wings are the ones that tend to consider becoming a Dark Angel.
Fallen Angels look like the next person off the street, (only with wings, if they have them)
Their hair colouring is no longer the ethereal white or gold, it becomes a different ‘ordinary’ colour. Perhaps they’re still blonde, but the blonde would not be like spun gold, but rather an imperfect colour – a more mortal colour.
 
Magical Talents
Fallen Angels do not have any magical powers whatsoever. No healing or harming. All their powers were removed along with their immortality when they fell.  A Fallen Angel is exactly like a human with wings (or once had wings), and the only difference is that they have potential of becoming a Dark Angel if they choose that path.  Fallen angels can however always see the wings and halo of others, despite the glamour.
 
Skills
They still have a natural ability to produce beautiful music, especially singing (hence the term: s/he sings like an angel).  They can no longer hypnotise with it.
They still have a natural ability with their chosen weapon.

Vampire Interaction
Vampires are able to drink and gain sustenance from Fallen Angels. The texture and colour is similar to that of humans but vampires will be able to see a tendril of silver in their blood. Drinking the blood of a fallen angel will be the flavour profile to that of a human, though stronger.
