The Winged
[Imagined By: TawaritheGodToaster]
Name: The Winged
Classification: Switches from Holy to Demon
Rarity: Depends. If it is Holy, they are not so much rare, as they are shy, or otherwise unsocial. They would be called angels, by the myths. Dark or Demon winged however, are more rare since they are not born. They are made.
Lifespan: Doesn't matter are they Holy or Demon, they still live about 800-1000 years.
Appearance: The Winged are usually short and cute up to the age of 200, until they start turning into more tall and slender. As you might have guessed, they are a very graceful and beautiful race. The Winged grow their hair long. It is their pride as warriors.
However, when turned to demons, their wings become black, and their eyes usually switch to the opposite color of the original, as well as the hair.
Strengths: Fast and agile in the air, Extremely skilled with mid and long-range weapons.
Weaknesses: Not too much body strength, depending on their experience, a little clumsy on the ground.
Skills/Abilities: They are able to hide their wings at will with magic, and are able to control wind, which is useful in battle, as they can push their enemies back. They can also talk to animals, but they cannot command them.
When turned into Demons, their strength increases, but they lose their ability to control wind, and sometimes their wings pop out on their own.
General Personalities: Proud, but gentle beings, which is why they are often seen as protectors of the weak. Even when beaten to the ground, they are more likely to rise up once more with their heads held high. The Winged are usually a bit.. Timid, and stiff, so their sense of humor is a little dry.
Once turned to Demons, it is the greatest shame on any of the Winged. They usually escape from their brothers and sisters and begin a travelers life on earth.
History:
The Winged are an ancient race, 'created by god', as many say. They actually just evolved from some magical experiment, that tried to create a spell which man could use to give themselves wings. The greatest dream of mankind was to fly of course.
During the war, only a few of the Winged came down from their homes to join the battle at start. When the situation worsened, every last Winged up to every child was in armor, to protect their homes furiously.
The Winged were mostly used for scouting, and taking out other creatures from the air on each side... And as they were not strong enough, some were turned to Demons. This was done by a lot of black magic, and it was shameful for any of the Winged. Thus they always avoided the ones who became Demons.
So as you see, they are not angels, but more like a race that evolved from an experiment. The demon Winged are also a result of en experiment.
Interesting Facts: The Winged, Demon or not, believe in spirits of the nature, and see life and a soul in everything. They don't have a specific religion, but they do have two saints, which they usually pray to. They are called Alma( A gentle female Winged who died protecting children) And Adair(A male Winged, who died after defeating a Demon who was attacking the home of the Winged) Don't pull on their feathers, they don't like that.
The Winged live not in heavens like some legends claim, but in the mountains, not too far from Dletia. They have built huge palaces in there, and the weather is always warm, because it is protected from bad weather and winds by the mountains. No other species has been allowed to enter the palace since the war ended, although they do take in the wounded from the mountains.
Aging: Age without looking any older than 20 or 30. When they die, they become dust, which is like deadly poison in the form of dust. |
