Tserai - Sixth Pentacle of Angels
Angelic Deviants
There are three types of Tserai:
Tseraphir - born guardians of the Tsetar
Tserime - first born of the eternal flame
Tserakai - first born of chaos
About Tserai: Tserai are angelic deviations, called angelic deviants, which occur in one of three ways; they are either the rare offspring of a Tsetar adrogynous angel and a male immortal, or are created (intentionally or accidentally) through the eternal flame or plane of chaos. Those which are created rather than born, either serve their maker's pantheon, or are independants who choose their own path of commitment.
Tseraphir
The Tseraphir are born instictively as guardians of their angelic progenitor. These angels can only be carried by an androgynous angel of the first pentacles. Tseraphir angels occured when the Alamascan began killing off the Tsetar, and are protectors of their progenitors. One pair of twins is born out of their progen, or male birth fathers. No further offspring can be conceived in this manner unless both twins are killed, at what time they can be re-conceived in their progen by the same sire, albeit they have to start their lives all over again. No memories are retained from their past life.
If another sire impregnates the angel when one set of twins is dead, a new pair of twins is born, and the souls of the dead twins lie dormant in their progen until their birth can take place. This can only happen if the new twins die, and the sire of the dormant twins mates with the progen. All Paragons have bat-like wings when born which most learn to retract, are extremely intelligent in a very instinctive way, begin learning while in the womb, and mature at an excessive rate of one year per week. Their key strengths lie in their physical and mental prowess, as they do not command the arcane powers that their progen and sire do. The progen is not fertile so long as one of his Tseraphir offspring lives.
Tseraphir cannot produce offspring themselves unless both parents are Tsetar, and can only have children with mortal females. This is very unlikely to happen however, unless their progen is killed, for they dedicate their lives to protecting their progen and sire. Some Tseraphir will even take their own lives if their parents are killed beyond hope of ever returning, while still others will seek other Tsetar to protect. if they do have any offspring, they are born as Tseraphir Kindred, which are quasi-immortal with 50% of all their Tseraphir sire's Arcane Prowess.
Appearance: All Tseraphir are born male, and are fantastically handsome in appearance. These angels have bat like wings, clawed fingers, and fangs. They are often mistaken for vampires. Physical traits such as skin, eye, and hair color vary according to their parents genes. Tseraphir have very smooth, hairless skin. They sometimes develope facial hair, and all have thick, silky hair crowning their heads.
Alignment: Any but evil. Their comprehension and coping does not allow them to become evil, for allowing yourself to become corrupted by evil is not logical in their minds.
