Angels are a mature and patient (if a bit dim) race - unique in that every single member of the race (unless kursed) is of the Good Alignment. As such, the society is split into two main factions:
- Lawful/Neutral Good. These Angels are generally referred to as "The Establishment".
- Chaotic Good. These Angels are generally referred to as the Rebel Angels.
Those who are Lawful or Neutral good (as a rule) live in the huge, sky-scraping cities of the Nevah-Nevah, known as "Hands". The others either roam the earth, live in a different country, or fight back against the Church of Norbi, or The Establishment.
Physically, the first things one notices about an Angel is their wings. With a wingspan of twice the Angel's height (Angels generally stand at about 3m tall) the wings can be tucked quite neatly behind the Angel's back when not in use.
Angels can fly at a base speed of half their running speed, with no limit upon how high they can fly. They can lift the same weight whether flying or not, and Angel hands are generally constructed with teams of 50-100 Angels.
Their focus is normally a sword, or weapon of some kind, to show their dedication to fighting against injustice. Injustice and Pirates are their two least favourite things, which was one of the causes of the Pirate/Angel War.
An Angels life span is the longest of all the races, and Angelic tradition is that before settling down in a hand and raising a choir (the Angel word for "family"), Angels should first travel the world. While not mandatory, it is expected of every Angel that by the time they are 70, they will have travelled the world, and set foot (or flown overhead) every country. Some Angels take on the added challenge of visiting every island of Nevah-Nevah.
Angel males give birth, laying an egg, and nourishing it until it grows to the size of a child. After a year, the egg hatches, and by the time a baby angel is 3, they can generally fly.
The Angel god of choice is Norbi, God of Flight, who bestows the gift of increased speed and control upon
