[quote=Imperfectionist] Hmm. I was planning on playing an angel as well, but Gabriella's power level (super-strength, armored skin, massive gust-creating wings, "immunity") is quite a bit higher than what I had in mind. I mean, isn't the divine reputation of angels supposed to be undeserved? What I got from the race description was that they were simply long-lived, winged humans, with perhaps a firm grasp of magic ("sky-elves", really). Perhaps there can be some kind of in-universe justification, like enhancement magic given only to Archangels? Alternatively, I can give an explanation for my angel's own lack of such things. Maybe something to do with living on the surface for so long. [/quote] A fair point, however when there are giants, vampires and ogres in the RP, the strength of Angels and hard skin alone does not place them as the biggest brawlers out there. I created the Angel with the thought that they should be the size of humans, yet seem divine to a simple grunt. The one I created was meant to be among the top 5% of Angels when it came to combat-skill, and therefore given the title "Archangel". I don't intend to use her as a overpowered character, nor undermine your angel. If you wanna make a slightly more humble Angel, you can just say it's not an Archangel, or you can play into the whole "wings turn gray and weak"-plot. I totally understand where you are coming from, but really I don't see my character as much greater than many other races (though the character's arrogance makes her claim to be superior. In fact the entire back-story is filled with arrogance and wrong believes). I just think there should be a reason to why mankind could ones have belied them to be grand beings of light, and prayed to them.
