Description Overall:
Angeni are the angel horses of soquili, their name even means “spirit angel.” They possess two pairs of wings instead of one like winds. They have smaller pairs of wings behind their ears and on their rear ankles as well. As with all flyers these soquili are born with naturally hollow bones. Their fetlocks grow naturally longer than the average soquili though everything else is much the same.
Powers:
The angeni are capable of flying the highest and furthest on their great wings. They may pass through clouds with ease and elder angeni are believed to be able to soar right into the stars. All pure angeni also have an ability known as their “holy light” that only pure angeni may use. They may manipulate the light for a short time either offensively or defensively. The most popular way to use the light is by focusing it around their bodies to blind enemies long enough to act or escape. Their light may also be manipulated in order to project a human-like image to those around them while shielding their real forms. They do not become human in any way and would be limited to gestures if they wished to communicate with humans.
All angeni are capable of blessing other soquili in order to make the recipients stronger or faster. They may also impart a blessing on the Kawani people to help them with their harvest or hunts. These blessings are a conscious decision from the angeni that requires concentration and energy. The more energy they put into their prayers for a blessing the greater the outcome will be though the effects will remain temporary.
1st generation angeni have an additional ability that is unique to them known as a domain. Angeni may be blessed by the Great Spirit with a domain to reign over should they have proven themselves capable of handling the abilities. Often times they are recognized as capable while they are still in the womb though on occasion it may take several years before they are seen. Angeni that are too close to humans are likely to never be granted any powers at all. ((No cosplays or OC cosplays may ever have a domain)) It is said that the child of two pure angeni parents, even those born in relatively close contact with “mortal” soquili, may be granted a true domain should they become an elder. This domain would be a logical blend of its parents’ domains. No two angeni may ever share the same domain. When an angeni dies its domain may be granted to another angeni. ((Do not even try to kill off an angeni for its domain; this is for background use only))
The powers that an angeni will hold greatly depend on the domain that they hold. There are several categories that a given domain will fall in to. These are: elemental, influential, illusionary, beast and unclassified. In each large category there will be domains that are vaguer than others but they will have the same powers over all. Keep in mind that no angeni would ever use their magic to purposefully hurt anything.
((Absolutely do not godmod these powers. If they are to be used clear it with the others involved first))
Elemental domains are things such as storms, wind, rain, ice or lunar. The angeni with these domains may manipulate their domain on a smaller scale. An angeni or wind may conjure up winds as they are needed while an angeni of the ice may freeze things. Using their powers will tire them gradually in small amounts or if using their powers for something large it may drain their energy completely.
Influential domains may also be referred to as the emotional domains. These domains include things like love, sorrow, fear or truth. The angeni with these domains will create an effect just by being in an area. An angeni of sorrow may cause sadder emotions to become more prevalent when they are about and an angeni of truth may cause it so that lying becomes difficult in their presence. Additionally these soquili may knowingly use their powers to affect another creature. An angeni of love, for example, could knowingly push of feeling of love on a creature for whatever reason.
Illusionary domains Angeni with illusionary domains are able to make soquili see what they want them to see. The angeni may also use their powers over illusions to create entire sceneries or even scenarios that play out over time. These angeni are also a bit better at holding their illusionary human forms as they are well practiced with the magic. Additionally an angeni that has what seems to be an elemental or beast domain may actually have an illusionary domain. ((An angeni’s domain may only fall into one category. If you want an elemental or beast soquili domain to be listed as illusionary it may only be illusionary not both))
Beast domains are used for controlling animals or spirit creatures like dragons, ghosts or cats. An angeni with a beast domain may communicate with their domain animal and control it with their will. These angeni may also use their domain animal’s eyes and ears for a short time to see what they see and hear what they hear. Beasts will instinctually be drawn to the angeni with that kind as a domain.
Unclassified domains are the domains that do not fit in the other types. The angeni with these domains do not have any clear cut powers. Their powers tend to be more unusual than other angeni often seeming useless to others but they have powers all the same.
Stereotype:
Angeni are holy creatures that are far purer than even a unicorn. They believe themselves to not be of this world and rather of the heavens as they are able to travel between. Just as all skinwalkers are evil all angeni are inherently good. There cannot be an evil angeni. A pure angeni’s domain may dictate a more distant, sorrowful or any other less happy nature but that will not make them evil. They are incapable of harming another soquili unless it is out of self defense, a complete accident or there is a malicious breed.
For the most part angeni tend to be gentle creatures with strong, gracious hearts. They tend to have a strong sense of right and wrong and generally they abhor evil in all shapes.
Additionally:
An angeni may never be cursed and turned into a skinwalker. They are blood enemies and may never breed with each other. Some believe that angeni were not born in the mortal realm at all but in the heavens themselves. It is also believed that an angeni that becomes to involved with mortals will begin to lose their powers.
