Angels

Angels are the race of power in the realm of light. They have a high population and are lead by their long- time leader Afriel Skystrider.

Angels are a protective race -- typically devoting their time to helping others and are quick to make lasting bonds. They are highly intelligent, and are one of the few races who are dispersed evenly throughout the three realms.

There are three different types of angels; the Seraphim, the Cherubim and the archangels.

Introduction
Angels are often seen as the peace keeps of the realms. They are typically good-natured, eager to assist others and make excellent company. Though they are split into separate factions -- most angels are alike in the sense that they are very loyal and act with good intention.

The Seraphim and archangels have high durability, and are able to take a lot of damage before succumbing to injury, while Cherubim are physically fragile.

Fallen angels are those who reject their racial laws, and are banished from their realm. Though dramatic sounding -- this is not an uncommon occurrence, as angels house many strict, fluctuating and mysterious rules that not everyone within the race is keen to follow. Fallen angels are stripped of their ability to use light magic.

Seraphim
The Seraphim are the highest ring of angels. They can live forever if they are not killed. They are typically attractive, and are unusually skilled in the use of light magic.

Cherubim
The Cherubim, or Cherubs, are young angels that are also considered immortal unless killed. They are high in number, and will not age past the appearance of eighteen. They are the only race besides the Succubus / Incubus with an influence ability. These angels cannot become fallen.

Archangels
The Archangels are typically fallen, or dark angels-- though not always. They have the closest ties with other races, and are found frequently in other realms. These angels, unlike their Seraphim and Cherub counterparts, are mortal, and live a life-span of approximately 200 years.
