Are they Winged Humanoids? Although now standard, this depiction is actually a relatively recent idea.In this way, they can be as alien as The Fair Folk. Often humans will get angels upset with them with inappropriate questions or observations because the angel can't think that way without going insane. In a similar tangent do angels have Free Will? Other than turning Fallen Angel often Angels have such absolute behavioral fixations that simply considering options is physically painful.
ACTUAL ANGELS FULL
Given that angels are usually messengers or servants of God (the word "angel" comes from the Greek word for "messenger"), God Is Good / God Is Evil tends to come into full play here if an angel can ask Have You Seen My God? or is part of a Council of Angels, expect confusion over what is and isn't in His best interests. If they are portrayed negatively they most often fall into the Knight Templar trope. Angels may be always good-aligned, with demons as their Evil Counterpart Race, or they may be divided into good angels and evil angels, often indicated by wing color. What is their morality? The most common way of varying things.The prospective angel has many options available for customization: They generally are found doing God's will as part of some sort of grand plan, helping mortals (sometimes incognito), or otherwise staying aligned with Good.Īngelic names, by the way, traditionally end in "-el" (meaning "of God"), such as in the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, though this is by no means guaranteed (Lailah, Sandalphon, Metatron). Often, a creator will try to put a unique spin on his or her angels.Īngels in fiction tend, by default, to be of a vaguely Abrahamic nature and may or may not have big fluffy feathery wings or Holy Halos. Lots of works include angels, but not always the same kind of angels.
