The world is a tempting place at times, and nobody knows it better than Fallen Angels. Despite their best efforts and intentions, Fallen Angels are Angels who have suffered the warning pains and committed acts of sin. Stripped of their powers by “Father,” they're in a precarious position that's startlingly close to the place of Humans in the world.

☼ Are constantly monitored by the forces of good and evil.
Fallen Angels are considered to be the precise moral middle between Angels and Demons, and as such their each and every act is weighed heavily. They are in the unique position of having both the capacity of being redeemed to become full Angels once more or of being damned to become full Demons.
☼ Tend to seek solitude and lives of isolation.
This is to keep themselves away from the influence of other beings that could cause them to be redeemed or be cast out before they are ready; Fallen Angels prefer the idea of choosing their own path to salvation or damnation.
☼ Favor inaction in all but the most extreme cases.
This fact gives them a general air of apathy. Because their actions are so heavily weighed they usually spend more time thinking about how something might affect their moral slant rather than doing anything to solve problems.
☼ Do not have access to Heaven or Hell without the invitation and assistance of an Angel or a Demon.

☼ Do not inherently know whether they are closer to redemption or damnation.

☼ May become a Human through a painful ritual that involves removal of their wings on any Equinox, Solstice, or the last day of the year.
This process is irreversible, and any memories that the Fallen Angel had before becoming Human are lost forever. It is typically used to stop the process of becoming either an Angel or a Demon.
☼ Can be killed by anything that can kill a normal Human being.
However, their bodies are more durable, heal more quickly, and can take more punishment. Thus, they can survive accidents and trauma that might mean a swift and certain death for a Human.
☼ Have small, vestigial wings whose number reflect the choir from which they fell and no halo. They are not visible on Earth unless they choose for them to be.

☼ Resistant to all forms of magic.

☼ Are infertile, though they are capable of having sex. In the event of becoming a Demon they gain the ability to reproduce sexually.
