"Angels"
The "Angels" are a mysterious and mythical race known by all creatures of the universe in some shape or way be it as gods, messengers of gods, or other phenomena known to the world. To the Tentricels is is known as "The Cerebrus," to the Greeks their angel was known as "Cronos," and the most well known Angel inspired myth is "Cognak." Thousands of more myths relate to these mysterious creatures. No one truly know what this race is, or that even their myths are all connected, despite the fact this mysterious race has seeded life all across the galaxy in its myriad of forms and shapes.
Basic Information
Anatomy
What is to say of the Angels except that much like Monsters there is no certain anatomy. They start as nothing more than a ball of light located within a strange ship known as The Egg. Within the egg they shift and form growing limbs, forms of senses, mouths, faces, tentacles, or pretty much anything. Alone in space they create a new form and due to them being separated from their others each one makes a completely new form.
Genetics and Reproduction
Angels have no form of reproduction and any sexual organs that are made upon an Angel have no use or function due to having no organs to produce eggs, sperm, or other genetic materials needed. Though its not impossible as Eden infused magic into another's sperm to spread his bloodline. They also have no genders.
Growth Rate & Stages
Angels take an indeterminate time to grow. Some grow much faster taking smaller forms but others take centuries to grow within their Eggs. To begin an angel is a raw ball of magic and light known as the Seed. Over time they begin sprouting mutations spread and grown by magic. It seems the eggs help to pour that magic into them, building their environment, and body structure completely at random.
Eventually the Angel hits a stage of completion. They have their form and a strange aura of magic that surrounds them. Generally the Completion stage hits once the Egg finds a developing world or an empty cooling rock. The angel then begins seeding life, building an environment upon the planet, and animals to live within the ecosystem. Sometimes Angels will return to the Ship and revert back to a seed.
Ecology and Habitats
There is no environment that is unsuitable for an angel, because no environment an angel has been in hasn't been tampered or formed without the magical influence and power of the Angels. On the random rock they find they develop the best suited environment for what they want to create like a toddler messing with Legos. If the planets environment is different that what it is suited too the body of the Angel will adapt to its environment.
Additional Information
Social Structure
The Angels hold no social structure as no Angel has ever came across another one of its Kin. From the moment of the aliens birth it is alone, housed within a super structure known as an Egg and drifting in the cosmos till it finds an empty cooling world for development and colonization. Due to this separation there is no known culture, similar ideas, or definite social structure between Angels.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Like their anatomy, the angels can have a varied many senses depending on how they adapt and grow. The long list of adaptions include but not limited too seeing, smelling, hearing, psychonics, echolocation, pheromones, etc. The one form of extrasensory capabilities all angels share is Soul Sight. An ability unique to them, though vaguely mimicked by the lesser races, they can see the lifestream and the souls of all living things from bacteria to titans. They watch souls decay, grow, drain, and form. They can even mold that magic but that is expanded on elsewhere.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Angels have no naming conventions due to well not developing a language. Their solitary nature has left that nearly impossible and the only names they are ever given is by the race which give them names based upon their own language.
Their species name on the other hand, "Angels" are a name given by humans to classify the life giving entity known as Eden and the implied race he comes from. It is no where near a universal term used by the other races.
Average Technological Level
The Angels were not a race that created machinery, instead they created life and magic itself. Angels created "Magic" in the world. They created the cycle of life and death and reincarnation in a different sense. When something dies its soul is absorbed into the planet and reforms mixed with other pieces of souls to create something new. They taught them magic which was turned into "Spells." A particular case is with the Creed, and organization that shaped the magic taught to them and natural to the world into spells to make life better or worse.
There is one piece of technology they hold close. Something called The Egg. The Egg was not something made by the angels, instead they found themselves born in it. Formed in it for no reason why.
The Egg
The Egg is a nickname for the ship of the Angels. The Radius of the Eggs have about a 1500 km radius almost the size of earths moon. The shell of the Egg is extremally thick and would take the force of cracking open the planet itself in order to shatter the exterior of the egg. Protruding from the bottom of the egg is a large spire of about 80 miles in length. This spire is actually a canon. The egg inside is hollow, the bottom of the egg is covered in a strange soil, and moving through the sky is a yellow ball that seems to replicate a day and night cycle. This yellow ball is the powerful shield generator for the vessel that protects the ball with extreme amounts of magic. Its also theorized to help mutate the creature with its already vast pools of magic. The cannon has the ability of seeding life. Shooting a planet it can begin the process of experimenting and seeding the world with life from plants, to fish, to birds, to mammals, to cells, and other microbes. It can also create atmospheres. Though it has a much more sinister side of choking out all magic wiping all organic life from the planet itself.History
"It was the first time I opened my...I don't know what I would call them though my "Children" called them eyes. Two of them right atop my head. I laid upon the ground of my crib amongst green grass tickling my skin. I think it was the first time I did this. Words mashing through my head. Thinking is what your people called it. I dont remember anything before the planet
My two legs shook as I pulled myself up onto my feet. My toes wiggling in the grass. Heat upon my skin from a rapidly rotating...ball in the sky. I think it was my....Mother. Or father? I wouldn't know. But I could see its insides. Just like when I look at you. They are colorful and beautiful.
Before long my work began. First it was the plants. They were my favorite. Vines, and trees, and grapes. I think I liked the colors the most. Soon...I was feeling empty. Things were too quiet. So I made the creatures in the sea which developed and went upon the land. It was so mesmerizing"
Historical Figures
Cognak
Cognak was the Angel of Cognar. Prior to the Cognarians, Cognak created another race known as the Rhoark. After settling their world and watching them grow he returned to his vessel and repeated his life cycle. He finally stumbled upon a new planet and created the Cognarians. They grew fast upon beautiful savannas, and flowing plains. Food was hard for them and in turn was life. While life was going well for them, the former race they created, the Rhoark, tracked the angel down and attempted to kill them. In his time gone the Rhoarks created an interstellar nation that was collapsing and dying and tried to turn Cognak into a power-source. It failed, but Cognak was slain leaving his egg in orbit of Cognar.Eden
Eden was the Angel of Elil and creator of Humans. He loved plants the most creating swathes and swathes of plants for his world. Bountiful gardens for all of the animals to feast on and large reptiles known as dinosaurs. He never moved on from Elil and after the extinction of Dinosaurs he would create the humans. He grew a close bond with the Greians and their leader Zeus who he taught him and his siblings magic. Eventually though he was sealed away within his "Egg" which was on the planet. In the year 2039 he was released, his mind and soul inhabiting Crimson Specter, an ecoterrorist that wanted to wipe out humanity. After seeing what humans had done to his planet he wished to wipe them all out, every last one, by activating his ship and doing a full reset.Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The Angels have an interesting relationship with the sentient species of the galaxy. Afterall the species were made of their own image. Angels, for some reason, always feel a sense of longing at one point or another. Kinship and so upon their planet they make a species mimicking their form. Humans, Brutius, Kolechians, all were mirrored off of the form of the Angel that created them, seen as children.
