To be a warrior and to die in battle is the greatest of honors history: their is said to be a history that these beings appeared on earth and as a result they learned from each other while the humans learned that seriphians were considered messangers from their holy being the seriphians learned how to make weapons and to advance in their own culture discovering that the ability of flight was a great boon for them that they could take to their advantage in battle so as a result they went back to their own planet and learned how to advance themselves beyond being a tribal people. any specialized units: their are those that have been given special gifts that are said to come from the divine that they can become the vapor itself, these seriphims are trained to be both spies and warriors able to turn into vapor to go in any area and to avoid any slash although they are not without weakness that if they become vapor and cant maintain their focus they would end up hurting themselves by forgetting to put a piece of their body back to solid form and injuring themselves.
