Re: Angel/Demon/Whatever Characters

Never understood the idea that using iconic monsters, folklore, whatever is a bad thing. Especially if you are going to use an analog of it anyway. A blood sucking monster that is hurt by sunlight that is called bzjgsjagav is still a vampire.

I always felt angels were shamefully underrepresented in fantasy. They are so cool and interesting, and can be interpreted in so many different ways; anything from staunch grimdark merciless anti-heroes to overly naive comic-relief utopians who genuinely can't understand why we all just get along, or basically anything in between.

Regardless, they are just one step below godhood, which means they are a serious force to be reckoned with, and however you choose to depict them will reveal a lot about the cosmology of your world as a whole. Angels and demons are cool inherently. Use them.
