rdAngelarian
Angelarians, also known as Tea Humans, are beings who have attuned their bodies to holy energy by the process of drinking pure tea infused with holy water.  Once ordinary humans, it is said that tea is infused with their blood.  Angelarans tend to uphold a sophisticated lifestyle; the majority are known to look down at the other races, speaking ill of them as such.  Their elitist mindset makes it hard for other races to earn their respect, and this also works the other way around.  While these Tea Humans look just like any ordinary humans without their wings, the snobbiest of the lot keep their wings activated as a gloating token of their “high and mighty” prestige.  Demonians can sniff out an angelarian regardless of whether or not their wings are out, and are known to outright hate any and all angelarians, usually leading to demonians attacking them on sight.

Location:

Angelarians reside in Angelar, the planet that not only houses large, heated, tea fountains of youth, but the Lord of Light as well.  Long ago, a group of humans decided to search and excavate their universe for a greater purpose and a higher power.  After months of traveling in a fleet of space crafts they eventually came across the planet which is now known as Angelar.  The-then unnamed planet was unlike anything they had ever seen before; from the flora and fauna to the abundance of resources, the first adept humans to discover this planet were eager to make this their home.  It wasn’t long before a lone young woman approached these settlers with promises of power and glory; the identity of her race is lost to time, but what is known is that this maiden converted these ambitious humans to the first of their kind who would serve The Lord of Light.  Houses Diviniah, Dawnblade, and Lightbringer were born.  But there was a catch, as there always is.  The notion of requiring tea for sustenance seemed silly at first, but it was only after the pact was sealed did these-then fledgling houses realize what they had gotten themselves into.  But in the end, they got what they wanted; serving the Lord of Light was a small price to pay for the planet they would name “Angelar.”  
    
The planet’s population grew rapidly over the years thanks to not only abundant repopulation, but enticing their fellow humans to receive the blessing of The Lord of Light.  When the planet began to thrive, the mysterious woman who converted the first human settlers disappeared without a trace.  It is rumored that this divine maiden was a proxy of Lord Proterius himself, but her origins and most of her involvement in the development of Angelar are but a feather dancing in the winds of time.

Angelarian Skills

Tea Ritual

Angelarians are masters at the art of tea brewing and the steps required to concoct that perfect recipe.  Every angelarian, from the highest noble to the lowest peasant, is proficient in gathering herbs and other ingredients for not only tea, but other concoctions as well.  As such, all angelarians have a Plus Charge on rolling Survival Checks.  They carry a specialized backpack with them which contains all the necessities for brewing tea in the field.  This includes: a metal cup nestled around an unbreakable one liter bottle, flint, steel, tinder, a thick bag filled with ash, and multiple tea bags.  The ninety minute long ritual starts with creating a campfire, gathering the necessary components for tea, and praying to Lord Proterius. This ritual includes using the ash of the logs to form a winged pentagram, the symbol of both The Lord of Light and Lord Proterius.  The lighting of the fire symbolizes the spark of life and energy.  The water is heated right up until the first bubble rises, removed to insert their tea packets, and let it sit until the color of the water is the correct hue.  The tea is finally sipped slowly for at least 30 minutes; the ritual is concluded after a minimum of four hours of trance-like meditation.  Any failure in the following required Difficulty Rating Saves will increase this base timeframe.

    Creating a campfire.  Survival Check, DR15.  Roll a Plus Charge.

    Creating the insignia.  Survival Check, DR20.  Roll a Plus Charge unless in windy conditions.

    Clean Up.  Survival Check, DR10.  Roll a Plus Charge.  This takes fifteen uninterrupted minutes because you are thorough in your task.  A clean site is your way of paying a final tribute to Lord Proterius before you start your day!

Inner Flavor

While tea is the life and blood of an angelarian, they have incorporated many flavors into their culture.  Certain flavors are known to create different effects, allowing them to take a break before a battle, and even acting as nourishment in place of food.  These teas are prepared without the traditional ritual; the brewing process takes about ten minutes.  Only one tea benefit can be in effect at a given time, the newest one taking effect immediately.

Wings of an Angel

Grants an angelarian the ability to don and doff a pair of wings.  The power of the tea-infused blood allows angelarians to sprout wings three times per day.  These include using them to fly for an hour or the use of glittering wings, which shed glitter in a 3x3x3 area around you, revealing any concealed units nearby.  This includes those under the effects of invisibility!  However, the brightness of your wings will also hinder your ability to sneak around; you must roll a Negative Charge on any and all Stealth-related checks while your wings’ power is active.

Lumin Shield

Angelarians have the ability to cast a dim glowing shield that protects them from harm. The shield can take a total of half the caster’s total Health; if the shield’s limit is exceeded, the caster will take the remainder of the damage. In addition to providing protection, this shield can serve as a means to light the way for the caster and his/her allies. Whenever the shield is active, light emits from the caster in a self-contained 3x3x3 Cell radius. This ability lasts for one minute or if it is destroyed, whichever occurs first; only 1 Lumin Shield can be active at a time and an angelarian can cast this skill three times per day, and up to 3 Cells away.  At Level 15 you can cast it a fourth time; at Level 30 you can cast it a fifth time.
