We have seen an Archangel
We've seen a ward put up by another Archangel
And we've heard about a Guardian Angel.
But thats' it.
Oh and several very vavavoom Fallen Angels.
Here is another approach, tell us what you want to play. Detail him story wise as much as you can and we can help you, tell you different ideas to get what you want.
All we know about the Guardian Angel, was that he/she/it existed. That's all there is in the book.
Pretty sure that's not really a spoiler.
Fair enough. :)
I have a couple of ideas and was hoping to glean some incite from how they've been shown in the books before settling on one specific idea.
I was thinking of playing a guardian angel.
After thinking about it for a while I thought that it might be more fun to play a human who was assigned Guardian status by an angel. My thought was that Guardian Angels are not always angels but human representitives who are given abilities and items of power to act as Guardians on earth for the Heavens.
Another thought was that my character would not technically be a guardian angel but carried an item that was imbued with the soul of an angel (or a protective spirit (ala Bob) that would supply the powers and abilities for my human host character.
Which books was that in? I may skip ahead to read it.If it's what I think it is, I think it was in Proven Guilty... but it was more of a passing comment.

Unless there was another incident that I'm overlooking?
Half-angels are part of Hebrew lore. Look up Nephilim, though God has in theory forbidden their creation, and, as portrayed, I very much doubt they'd ever ascend to true angel-hood. Still, as a Scion concept, it's pretty darn neat.Adds another character to the list of possible future characters

I think angelic scions would be very rare. Angels marrying (or even just mating with) humans may tread on free will. Yeah, a person has the choice (presumably) to reject the advances of an angel, but can we expect angels to be anything less than perfect?Heh, the human mom/dad could have the aspect Touched by an Angel :D
Heh, the human mom/dad could have the aspect Touched by an Angel :D
And a scion of an angel, the Nephilim, I think would be one of the few and far between examples of a child born out of love, out at least consensual sex, rather than force in the case of most Changelings or demonic scions.
While I can see it with demonic scions I can't with Changelings, at least not every time. Sure, trolls and ogres, but people could be easily swayed by a particularly lovely sidhe into a night of passion, especially if they didn't know the true nature of their lover. With the right glamour it would work for uglier Fae as well. Even the ugliest troll might be looking for a little love in the mortal realm!

I really like the idea of a Nephilim, if you where to give him inhuman toughness what sort of Catch do you give the son child, decendant of an angel.....
It is said that most gods are the first generation scions of angels, demons, or powerful beings of the Nevernever. Some of them are
derelict angels—not cast out of Heaven, but just departed on their own.
"Unholy Stuff".... ALSO a technical term.
Nephilim are one of the most tragic parts of the Torah.
Beings of Love fell in love with mortal women. They beget upon them children which caused the angels to Fall. (And Angels still Fall to this day). Nephilim were so hated by God that he sent the Flood to destroy them.
