Angel

When Karm created Ancyra, the Archangel was created alongside 500 loyal angels. Since Ancyra's beginnings, the Angels have been a race of both worship and mystery, shaping the world during the early centuries before disappearing into the background as watchers.

Physiology
Angels possess an idealized, and completely fluid human form. Humans were created in the image of angels; If slightly less perfect. The angelic body is ultimately a construct of mana, and angels have no need of food or drink- Although many have found such things to be pleasant and delightful. Sleep works on a completely different level, and many angels remain awake for years- and asleep for perhaps a couple less.

Angels are true immortals. When their body dies, their soul generates a new one after a few centuries or decades depending on the power invested, that retains all memories. The stronger the angel, the longer it takes for them to garner the force to regenerate.

The only way to defeat an Angel is to seal it in some form or fashion; Such as by runes arrayed into a prison, or to bind their soul into an inanimate object.

They have no sex. The Mysterious force that had created the originals; And those that have since been made and created by Karm bare the same burden. Many, however, affect some form of gender with the advent of human existence.

An Angel's soul is able to be viewed physically in the form of its wings, which is literally their soul.

Unlike humans, an Angel's soul is capable of regeneration, and is used as their primary mana source. This gives them an incredible amount of mana and also allows for the use of divine magic, as it can only be cast from a pure mana source, such as the soul itself. This does not mean that humans can use the souls of others to cast divine magic, because it's just as difficult- if not moreso- than using their own.

History
Little is known about these Mysterious creatures. It is only said they were created from seemingly nothing, made out of the blue. Leaving Karm, the only Archangel to govern the Angels and create both Ancyra and the galaxy itself.

Abilities
The are known to be the only recorded race able to use divine magic, a form of magic that comes directly from the soul. Being able to see the the flow of the lifestream, their ability to manipulate and shift the laws of Ancyra and the fundamentals of mortal souls is amongst the most potent of abilities, even if not every angel is prepared for combat. Angels are all powerful mages, with a breadth of light magic at their fingertips.

Fallen Angel
While Angels are born with pure intentions, this does not mean they cannot be corrupted. The more corrupted an Angel is, the darker their wings become. They are unable to restore the color of their wings and can only become more tainted over time, thus they are raised on a strict morale code to prevent this.

Almost all Angels will eventually become Fallen, the average taking around five thousand years, with some noted to last over a hundred thousand. Once Fallen and seen by Karm, an Angel would be sealed for an eternity, or destroyed utterly by Karm himself, and replaced.

Fallen Angels have wings of pure black, representing a soul that is driven by their personal desires and lacks any morale restrictions.

Half-Angel
Most facts about half-angels are shrouded in mystery, so unless your character has been personally informed, the following would be unknown to them.

Halflings are created in a ritual conducted by fallen angels that involves divine magic and intensive soul manipulation, typically resulting in the death of the mother. Most fallen angels will often go as far to modify the offspring before they're born, whether it's depraved enhancements or an inability to deny the commands of their creator.

Unlike pureblooded angels, half-angels are not bound to follow a single, sinful mindset should they become corrupt. They retain humanity's ability for change, and their wings are able to go from black to white, although it's something that's especially rare beyond minor shifts in the shade.

Their wings, like purebloods, begin white, although they're less iron-willed than the angels, who were built by the Mysterious God with established beliefs. They fall to corruption much swifter, and due to their creation at the hands of fallen angels, are often encouraged to do so by their parent.

Half-angels are hunted by the guardians of Karm, as they've viewed similarly to fallen angels due to the majority of them being corrupt. Those with black wings are taken to a divine prison where they're re-educated in the hopes of eventually being redeemed.

''Nothing is known about these creatures, at least. Not by mortals. All they Know is that only Karm exists as one.''
