ANGELS, DEMONS AND SPIRITS
FOREWORD
The most important thing to note in regards to angels, demons and spirits is that their primary differences are aesthetic - particularly in regards to angels and demons. The deciding factors in whether a beast became an angel or demon after the Eschaton has nothing to do with personality and everything to do with random happenstance, while spirits were created from those that died of the Eschaton. An angel may be as cruel as any demon or a spirit, while a demon may be as kind.
ANGELS
/ˈeɪndʒ(ə)l/ noun
1. a spiritual being believed to act as an attendant, agent, or messenger of God.
1. a spiritual being believed to act as an attendant, agent, or messenger of God.
After the Eschaton, angels rose from their dying places in a blaze of holy light. Their distinctive features are powerful feathered wings, which allow for steady flight, and brilliant halos which circle their heads. Should the beast already have wings, they will gain a secondary set. Both share a single colour of any variety - the colour itself is simply random, and has no direct link to any known factors. Furthermore, angels are faster, stronger, and healthier than the average beast was before the Eschaton, and they are incapable of ageing, as they are technically dead. They can however sustain damage, and if they are injured harshly enough they may be erased and become Lost. This is essentially dying for those that are already dead.
DEMONS
/ˈdiːmən/ noun
1. an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
1. an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
After the Eschaton, demons rose from their dying places in a blaze of unholy light. Their distinctive features are powerful webbed wings, which allow for steady flight, and cruel horns which frame their heads in a variety of shapes and sizes. Should the beast already have wings, they will gain a secondary set. Both share a single colour of any variety - the colour itself is simply random, and has no direct link to any known factors. Furthermore, demons are faster, stronger, and healthier than the average beast was before the Eschaton, and they are incapable of ageing, as they are technically dead. They can however sustain damage, and if they are injured harshly enough they may be erased and become Lost. This is essentially dying for those that are already dead.
SPIRITS
/ˈspɪrɪt/ noun
1. the non-physical part of a being which is the seat of emotions and character; the soul.
1. the non-physical part of a being which is the seat of emotions and character; the soul.
After the Eschaton, spirits rose from their dying places in a blaze of nuclear light. Their distinctive feature is the glowing aura which surrounds their being, which is a left over effect from the Eschaton's power. It may be a single colour of any variety - the colour itself is simply random, and has no direct link to any known factors. They also have a powerful healing factor, meaning that they recovery from injuries far faster than both angels and demons. Furthermore, spirits are faster, stronger, and healthier than the average beast was before the Eschaton, and they are incapable of ageing, as they are technically dead. They can however sustain damage, and if they are injured harshly enough they may be erased and become Lost. This is essentially dying for those that are already dead.
SPECIES
Certain species were more likely to be affected by the Eschaton than others.
- mammals make up the most populous class of animal revived by the eschaton.
- repitles, amphibians and birds, while not quite as frequent as mammals, make up a large portion of the animal's revived by the eschaton.
- fish and anthropods are rare in the wake of the eschaton, but do still on occasion occur. however, as fish are bound to the water, it is entirely possible that there are loads of fish out there that no one knows about.
- extinct species are the rarest of all the animals revived by the eschaton - and even then, only species that were alive during the reign of human's on earth could be revived.
