WoD - Way of Death: Choose 1-3 Ways of Death, all other deaths transient. 3 resurrections from final death allowed. All other deaths transient-with free resurrections. each resurrection from TRUE way of death becomes more and more difficult. (+10% chance of failure each).
Form Shift:
Human form
Sephiroth Form: as called, most have wings, others may not, some are bestial, most have fangs, sharp teeth. Some may look completely human, while others may be part beast.
Phantom form: quasi-ethereal form, meaning they can be seen but are spirit.
Animal Forms: 2 called animal forms.
Wings of the Sephiroth
Information: some have feathered wings that are the same color as their hair (or fur or scales if bestial), some also have bat-like wings with membranes that are the color of their flesh. Some may have fixed wings. Flight is partially telekinetic as with most winged humanoids.
Retractable
Flight.
Deflect Weapons: AC 15
Winged Embrace: When embraced within the sephiroth's wings, subject is bathed either with their power of healing, or harmed by their abysmal void. +3 d6 on either power when in winged embrace.
Winged Majesty: wings spread and emit a radius of azure, aural flames which can bring those within visual range of them trembling to their knees, or repell targets in a hasty retreat if within their nerve rattling aura. -1 Willpower, Constitution and Courage per ace.
Planes Walk travel from
2-close distance over land
4-close distance overseas
6-close distance in same world
8-walk from plane to plane
10-walk from dimension to dimension
12-walk from time line to time line

The more dramatic the distance in space and or time, the more energy the angel is drained of. Phase into spirit form to become part of the temporal paradox to lapse through time lines and the dimensional folds to close distances.

Disadvantages

Choose at least three
Marked: (all take unless 'free walker' is given) by the Morning Star's bonding mark of possession. Destiny, soul, and will is owned by their creator. The advantage to this is that their soul is protected by Acheron and cannot be destroyed.
Free Walker: (GM consent only) Sephiroth has been freed by their maker of the bond of possession and their fate is their own to command. The downfall to this ticket to freedom is that their soul is no longer protected by Acheron.
Small Claws: +5
Small Fangs and Sharp Teeth: +3
No Regeneration
No Fortitude
Normal Strength
Normal Stamina
Fixed Wings: cannot be retracted.
No Wings: cannot have wings
Bestial Sephiroth Form: describe, must be at least half-animal.
Fixed Bestial Traits: describe, such as animal facial features, goat ears or horns, fur, scales, etc. These are traits they cannot shift out of in any humanoid form they take.
No Haste: cannot take haste powers or abilities.
Blood of Mankind: has blood instead of ichor, though it regenerates quickly, regeneration +10, blood loss can lead to death, or transient death.
Hunted: by a divine enemy, alamascan or otherwise.
Cursed: a dark curse was laid on Sephiroth at some point that shall follow them always unless the person responsible is found and killed.
Unlucky: no saves allowed.
Next to Useless Wings: wings are too small or tattered to use for flight.
Wicked Tendencies: good alignments not allowed.
Passivity: will not fight unless given no other choice whatesoever, which often makes these Sephiroth targets for slavery.
Effeminate Male: Sephiroth is so pretty he almost looks female. This tends to make it difficult for him to gain the respect he may deserve.
White Sephiroth: good aligned Sephiroth, they are often seen as goody-two-shoes by evil Sephiroth and targeted for ridicule, or in same cases, even tormented. Loyalty often depends on who is most accepting and tolerant of the toadying Sephiroth.
No Human Form: cannot shift out of claws, fangs, and wings.
Low constitution: prone to charms, cannot master Author of the Mind's highest levels.
Sychophant: Sephiroth has low self-esteem and sucks up to friends or figures of power and will play along with almost anything a friend or master asks.
Soul Eater: must devour souls to survive. Each soul devoured restores HP, Strength, and Stamina. Cannot take regeneration or Soma Shrine.
Unable to Planes Walk
No Claws
No Fangs
Bad Luck: 10% chance of an unconditional fluke failure as called by GM or other players, if handling weapons, chance can apply to injuring self by a freak accident.
Horribly Disfigured: (counts as two disadvantages), not only is appearance hideous, but body is partially crippled, the Quasimodo of Sephiroth; 50% charisma, 50% movement, 50% haste if any.
Androgynous: Sephiroth is an intersexed male or female that is fully functional, hence those which are male stand a 20% chance of being impregnated by any fertile male. Depending on the Sephiroth's ego, this could be an advantageous drawback.
Bonded: Sephiroth is a slave of someone and must obey their master above all others with exception of their creator.
Unable to Suppress Alluring Scent: can always be identified or located by scent.

Dark Star Blood: Sephiroth was recreated from a dark star, and as such has these disadvantages:
Self-Healing Regeneration: can only self-heal; cannot be healed by spells or abilities of others, these methods harm instead of healing by power intended to mend.
Death Journey: death, transient or otherwise, results in a death journey in an underworld or dead realm which can alter the Sephiroth's fate. Sephiroth is resurrected from this journey, not from Acheron as most Sephiroth are.

Sephiroth Hierarchal Orders

Dark Star Resurrection and Fate Rolls - 1 d6

Darkstar Subrace Only
1-The Resurrection fails owed to past mistakes and the Dark Star is plunged into either Acheron (1-3) or Annwn (4-6). In one of these underworlds the Dark Star undergoes a Death Journey which pits them against their sins, fears, doubts, and flaws, and if the Dark Star fails their test, they become one of the fallen and either a ward of Acheron or Annwn whose fate is out of their hands. If they succeed, a powerful denizen of the underworld they fell into raises them as a mortal with no memories of their past, power or greater knowledge.

2-The Dark Star's soul is seized by the Morning Star and their spirit is ripped from their body and plunged into rebirth to be reborn as a mortal child of mortal parents. They lives as a mortal until they die as a mortal to undergo a death journey in Acheron (1-3) or Annwn (4-6) which triggers their immortal resurrection if they triumph against their sins, fears, doubts, and flaws in one of these underworlds. If the Dark Star fails their test, they become one of the fallen and either a ward of Acheron or Annwn whose fate is out of their hands.

3-The Dark Star is resurrected but plunges through a dimensional gate to a random location on either Planet Dark Star (1-3) or Morashtar (4-6) and wakes on the world with no memory of their past, powers, or who they are. They are however immortal when resurrected.

4-The Dark Star's resurrection leaves them completely vulnerable and either (1-2) their body and soul are snatched by an Alamascan who possesses their form and traps their soul within a powerful ring they wears; or (3-4) a powerful demon or devil snatches their body and soul to do with them what they will; or (5-6) the Morning Star guides their destiny in rebirth or resurrects them in a chosen location.

5-The Resurrection fails and their spirit bypasses a death journey to raise them in spirit form. They must remain in spirit form until the Morning Star determines their fate by guiding their rebirth, choosing their destination and parents for them.

6-A Self Resurrection goes as planned and as hoped for and all memories as they were are intact. If resurrected by another the Darkstar suffers a penalty (as called by GM).
Note: If Arcanon comes under the control of another being, they have a 50% chance of resisting any influence or force beyond themself and their death journey.
