"They come from the temples en masse, many with saddened expressions on their face, but others with determined looks. They asked for our help, to give them a place to stay and they'll return our generosity. Many of us felt bad for them without understanding what was happening, but we took them in and helped them get back on their feet. I can say one thing, even with such sad looks, they were still as beautiful as ever." - A human farmer, estimated year 2 AF.

Angels are the children of the gods, and grandchildren to the Ancients, the creators of the universe of Fortuun. They all were, and some still are, the helpers of the gods, seeking to assist their parents in any way they can.

Tied to the elements

Angels are tied to the elements from which they were created as much as they are tied to their god. Angels not only are experts in the manipulation of their own elements, but these elements in turn leave marks on their personality. Angels often believe and live the very foundations of the elements from which they are tied to. While an angel can change elements through a complex ritual, many angels never do, as many are satisfied with their current element.

Hands of the Gods

In the years before the Fall of the Angels (which to those angels was known as the Disaster), the angels were the will of the gods. Anything they commanded was carried out by these angels, as they descended onto the material plane to personally oversee their parents will be carried out. Angels are one of the few residents of Nexus, realm of the Gods. More powerful angels who get selected for it undergo a process that turns them into Archangels, angels with 6 wings and are almost demi-gods in their own right. These angels are often looked up to as the older, protective sibling of the group, despite age and even relations.

Soulless Magic

As they are Celestials, angels do not have souls. This provides a strange case where they cannot be revived if they die, without anything short of a god casting a wish spell. Also, because they don’t have souls, they must derive their magic energy from another source entirely. According to the gods and the angels that came before, angelic magic comes from the god and the elemental plane of their element, similar to how Clerics derive their power from a god.

Missing Elements

Due to the exploits of Michael the archangel getting the goddess of darkness kicked from Nexus, darkness angels no longer exist in any plane of any sort, having all been converted to the residents of the first layer of hell, the Succubi. Shadow Angels were also never created, as the goddess is elsewhere and is far younger than any of the other gods. Beyond this however, virtually every element has angels left over somewhere in the world, whether it be Nexus or the Material Plane.
