Angels
There are many types of celestial beings. The most common and known celestial beings are known as Angels. They were created by their God to perform certain duties and to praise him. Later they were sent to protect the mortals he created and became so fond of. But there was consequences to this, for these lower plane creatures they were sent to teach and protect gave them the biggest influence of corruption.
Celestial beings are not perfection, they do have flaws and as such they sometimes fall from their Gods grace by giving in to these flaws and by becoming corrupted by the lowly creatures who they were sent to protect. These celestial beings usually become angry and revile these lowly creatures and their God who seems to be so fond of them. Thus they become evil and try to destroy these mortal creatures and stray them from the path to their God. Below are the ranks of these celestial beings.
Some celestial beings are known as the Lost. These beings somehow strayed from their righteous path and are no longer within the grace of their God. The other is known as the Forgotten. These beings having spent too much time on the prime material plane and in a mortal's body will simply forget what they are. They walk the prime material plane with no history of childhood or family and because they have forgotten what they are, their powers are never used.
Demons
Many believe that demons because they are evil cannot have emotions or be affectionate. This again is not necessarily true. Yes demons are evil, but understand them. They were at one time "angels" and therefore they are not void of emotions. Most demonic creatures are very self serving, they will help others but it will most likely be that they will want something in return somewhere down the road. They are very physical creatures and have no problems in satisfying their desires. They do enjoy the pleasure they get from their physical needs. Because of this there are now many types of creatures who are of a demonic origin without being a fallen celestial.
Some say demons because they give into their desires without hesitation "breed like rabbits". Demons who have offspring may or may not care for them. Again demons are as diverse in their evil nature as the mortals they so love to corrupt and torture. Because of their diversity and the offspring they have created in their moment of lust you can NOT fit them into one particular mold. According to Lore even Lucifer himself though he had a few wives was fondest of Lilith. So its not absurd that demons can care for their offspring. And sometimes they appear to be caring in order to better deceive those around them. But demons are self serving and even when on a mission from Satan himself can be sidetracked by that.
Demons would rather corrupt a creatures soul than destroy it. They would rather manipulate those around them to their bidding than force them by physical act. They love seeing a creature in torment, the closer to good the creature the better. Demons will NEVER reveal their true name, for in doing so they give others who know it some power over them. They do not like being summoned to do others work, unless it benefits them but they do NOT like being summoned by a mortal. These beings they truly hate and for one to have enough knowledge to bind a demon to their bidding, demons will always look for the tiniest chance to get out of it and kill them. You must be careful when making a deal or pact with a demonic creature for they will find the smallest loop hole to render their part null and void. A demon does not like being in servitude and to try and enslave one is foolish for a true demon will kill another for such an offense.
Celestial beings have 3 forms these are as follows
Subtle Form- This is mostly used for traveling. This form has no substance, powers do not work in this form. They are no more than air, but in this form they can travel within a blink of an eye.
Divine Form- This is their true form. They may have four sets of wings or five faces and two heads. Perhaps they have the body parts of several different animals. Celestial beings are not always the picture of perfect beauty. Of course they may use all their powers within this form.
Stealth Form- This is the form they will manifest into when walking among lower plane creatures and humans. Only in the Divine and Subtle forms may a celestial begin to ascend into the heavens. Celestial beings can communicate telepathically.
Celestial Orders
Every celestial must choose which Order they ascribe to, from the following:
Guardian- These either protect or try and destroy those around them.
Ministering- They either try and strengthen ones faith or weaken it.
Swords- They do actual battle to either help or harm.
Vengeance- They seek revenge either on those of evil or good.
Signature
All Celestial beings have signatures. A signature is when they decide to manifest themselves in human form they always manifest a human form with certain characteristics. This may be whatever human form they take it will be a he or she or always have blue eyes and blond hair, or maybe they will manifest in a human form who always wears green. Whatever their signature/s are, they always manifest in human form with those characteristics.
Temptations
These are your weaknesses. Perhaps as an angel you do not have the patience or understanding to deal with lesser beings. Or maybe you have great enough power that sometimes you could lose sight of your dutiful service to help others by thinking yourself far superior to your brethren. A demon may be easily side tracked from a goal or perhaps the desire for power will jeopardize their missions thus making them easier to turn on their commander. Perhaps you are attracted to a certain type of man or woman. Temptations can be anything, let your imagination run wild.
