Their wings would burn into featherless husks, unable to keep the angel in the air, leaving behind '''burned scars and seared flesh'''. Their '''halo would crack''', stripping away Heaven's light and revealing the truth hidden behind the veil of the holy shroud, allowing the fallen angel to see the world as it is: imperfect, broken, and irreversibly corrupted. | ||
Eventually, as the '''halo takes a new form and turns into horns''', whatever feathers the angel has managed to grow back start to lose color and darken. After an angel has fully transformed, their '''wings have turned black''', and their true form has become '''riddled with corruption''', displaying black patches, spikes, and scales.

After an angel has fully transformed, their '''wings have turned black''', and their true form has become '''riddled with corruption''', displaying black patches, spikes, and scales. They have become '''unable to heal themselves''', having to resort to human medicine or drinking demon blood to regenerate, and find no solace in holy places such as churches. They are renegades, independent for the first time in their lives, and have to either find a prince of Hell to serve and protect them or live free among mortals and continue evading their kin. | ||
Depending on the angel, the experience can be utterly traumatizing or the beginning of some much-desired freedom. One thing is sure: should a fallen angel hope to achieve redemption, '''the path back to Heaven's grace is painstakingly long'''. | Depending on the angel, the experience can be utterly traumatizing or the beginning of some much-desired freedom.

== Ranks == | |||
==== Hell knights ==== | |||
Hell knights, also known as '''Az-Zabaniya''', are '''Lucifer's personal lieutenants''': 19 fallen angels who fell from Heaven with their master. They are of equal rank as the [[Demons#Deadly_Sins|deadly sins]] and '''take no orders from Hell's residents except for the Devil'''. They carry personal symbiotic weapons and '''can command any lesser demon to serve them''' even without using true names. | |||
==== Other fallen angels ==== | |||
Any fallen angel not part of Az-Zabaniya, regardless of their previous [[Angels#Ranks|rank]], are considered '''lesser compared to all demons''' except for the youngest runts. Forced to gain status and power like normal hellions, it takes time and effort to gain authority over Hell's residents, if any at all. While some fallen angels choose to respect an individuals old rank, their value often comes from actions after their fall. | |||

==== Teleportation ==== | ==== Teleportation ==== | ||
At first, fallen angels may feel like they've lost the power to teleport until they re-learn to use it. No more are they able to appear next to their immaculate kin but close to other fallen hell knights and Lucifer himself. The ability may lose some of its precision and potency distance-wise before the angel gains mastery over its changed behavior. | At first, fallen angels may feel like they've lost the power to teleport until they re-learn to use it.

== Innate abilities == | |||
Fallen angels have the same innate abilities as [[Angels#Innate_abilities|their divine kin]]. | |||
