I figure it's best to act natural, but with my wings the color of a cloudy sky I'd hardly be able to fit in with the ebon-winged Devils or the bat-winged Demons. I'd probably have to-
There was a tiny pop and something minature and hot pink appeared right over my shoulder. Startled, I spun around and launched myself from the mite, which gave me a "You're an idiot" look and blew a raspberry. It took a few seconds for me to recognize the Cherub. Great.
Most humans have heard of imps and have a pretty good understanding of what they do. They're the little guy with horns and a pitchfork, who's more annoying than evil. Cherubs are pretty much the same exact thing, only hot pink, working for the good guys, and usually a little fatter around the middle. To add onto that, they're still riled up that they were replaced by Angels as God's favored. Really what happened was God got sick and tired of having to deal with their bullshit and made someone big to make them shut up.
Because when you're trying to go undercover in hell, having a loudmouthed italian Devine hovering over your shoulder and trying to ship demons is
exactly the way to go.
"Your God, Thy savior, who art in Heaven," intoned the little twerp, "Hath instructicated me, to cometh to thy aid, soeth thateth thou keep thine ass a part of you." He shot me a shit-eating-grin and continued, "So I'm supposed ta help you try'n do whateva yo tryin' ta do an' report back to Boss if yous dead. Yous dead yet?"
"Of course not." I said tersely.
"Well'n that sucks."
"How so?" I growled, knowing what the answer would be.
"'Cuz iff'n you 'aint dead i gotta be stuck here in this hellhole!" He laughed at his own joke. It was like listening to a sealion try and gargle a band geek lit on fire.
I would have wrung the life out of the little thing, but I was trying to be incognito, leaving a dead Cherub would be like leaving breadcrumbs right to my hiding spot.
What to do about him? Besides roasting him over an open flame, there were plenty of those and that wouldn't kill him too much. The roasting was a given. But I needed to be quiet, and this guy wasn't about to shut up just because the fate of the worlds depended on it.
Cherubs aren't too bright.

Skill- 3(no longer capped by Divinity)
(Luck. Governs... Activities that require luck. Linked to your Divinity.)
Divinity- -1
(How holy you are. 0 is neutral. -10 is demonic. 10 is Archangel level. You may not spend a skill point here. Your actions guide this stat.)

Pure neutral-
You are smack in the middle. Perfectly average in every way except power. Angels and demons will both take your council, though they won't take much stock in it. Count on everyone wanting to sway you.
Consume(Demonic Ability)-
you have the ability to consume souls. Doing so gives you more power, but diminishes your divinity. You can now absorb souls directly from living beings. Doing so will massively multiply your power for a short time and give you a free skill point, but doing so will result in a immediate -3 divinity.
Preserve(Angelic Ability)-
you have the ability to absolve mortal souls of their sins. Doing so will average their divinity with yours. That will be your new divinity, +2 for the selflessness of the act. Saving Demonic or Devilish souls is impossible until they repent. Saving monster souls is always impossible.
Curse(Demonic Ability)-
for the slight cost of -1 divinity, you are capable of cursing one opponent. The curse may me major or minor, but will effect them to some degree negatively.
Bless(Angelic Ability)-
bless is the opposite of curse, randomly blessing a character with some positive benifit. The benifit is entirely random, and may not be of immediate use. While this has no effect on your divinity, you must be able to contact God in some way, be it through a Angel's prayer, or a Priest to carry your thoughts to Him.
David- (ITEM BASED: UNUSABLE)(ITEM BASED: UNUSABLE) (Item: Adam's Pearl)
Goliath lost his stone? If you have it, you can use it!
Solomon- (SKILL BASED: UNUSABLE)(Will:5)
The brain is a muscle, and working it can open new doors to stats and skills!
Natural- (SKILL BASED: UNUSABLE)(Skill:7)
Ancient druids boasted the ability to commune with animals. Maybe you can to, with the right secrets?
The Horde- (SKILL AND ITEM BASED: UNUSABLE)(All skills:10 Item: Adams Pearl Location: CorE)
To kill a Behemoth...
Human-
Humans are middle ground, capable of both Good and Evil. While they gain skills slower than Divine beings, Humans are capable of massive leaps in Divinity, and so are less likely to be assaulted by angels simply for being Evil. However, demons don't think about the future often, and so humans are always in danger of sadistic demons taking advantage of them or harming them.
Trained- (chosen enemy: Demons)
Your natural abilities have been honed against your favored enemy, and you gain a +2 attack bonus and a +1 defensive bonus.
Markswoman-
You can hit things much farther than normal humans
Devine Scholar-
You have studied Demons and Angels all your life, and as such know far more than normal humans. This means that in situations where normal people would falter you can follow through, be it in battle or simply discussing matters with holy beings.
