Angel

Angels, also known as the aasimon, were celestials that hailed from any of the upper planes. Powerful entities of light and goodness, they were the traditional enemies of all manner of fiends and served as the warriors and stewards of the divine powers.

While properly, the term "angel" referred to a subset of celestials, those on the Material Plane helped by any celestial being might claim to have been "visited by an angel".

Description
Angels possessed comely looks and what appeared to be wholly physical bodies, though this was an illusion. Angels all exhibited wings of some form, which they used to fly.

Abilities
Although not all angels were capable of seeing through the darkness unhindered, many were.

Several were also immune to the effects of acid, cold, petrification, or somewhat resistant to electricity, fire, or poison.

Angels were generally capable of speaking the language of any creature they came across, even if they did not know it inherently.

Personality
The immense power of angels was balanced by their compassion and kindness.

All angels were honest beings, who found lying or cheating abhorrent. Likewise, it was against the nature of angels to steal from others and angels were typically honorable and trustworthy in all their dealings.

Types of Angels

 * Agathion :
 * Warrior angels sometimes sent on missions to the Material Plane.


 * Devas :
 * Celestial stewards of the gods. There were three different subraces of devas: astral devas, monadic devas, and movanic devas.


 * Planetar :
 * Mighty blue- or green-skinned warriors in the celestial armies that also helped powerful mortals on missions of good, particularly those that involved battles with fiends.


 * Solar :
 * The most powerful of the angels, usually close attendants to a deity or champions of some cosmically beneficent task.

Society
Angels lived primarily in the Upper Planes and were permitted to travel freely among them from one to the other. They could also enter the Astral and Material Planes if directed by their divine masters, to support the purposes of good. Only very rarely were they ever sent to the Lower Planes and only for missions of upmost importance.
