Remnants

Remnants, sometimes called Revenants, are the remains of angels and demons, after their Celestial Forces have been stripped from them. When an angel or demon is killed, if he possessed a physical form there is always a chance that it will manifest on Earth to live out the rest of its life, cut off from the glory and the grandeur that are the brilliance of Heaven and the comforting darkness of Hell. Other celestials avoid Remnants; they're considered bad luck.

Unlike the Outcasts, a Remnant's Celestial Forces have been totally obliterated, and their Corporeal and Ethereal Forces damaged to the level of mere humanity (no more than 5 Forces, total).

Frequently, though they have lost their divine or infernal natures, they still have tiny Essence Resevoirs and a meager arsenal of Songs, though they may cannot move to the ethereal plane or listen to the Symphony any easier than another human. A Remnant could be useful in an Earth-bound campaign, with the promise of Essence or at least a more comfortable existance as a reward for good service. Some angelic Remnants are called Revenants, out of respect.

The minds of Remnants are small and confused. They can't quite remember what it was like, being so grandly celestial -- they can no longer concieve of the Symphony -- but they know that they've lost something, a huge part of themselves. Some Remnants, a rare few, may still have the memory of having lost everything for what they thought was a good cause. Others don't remember what they did, who they were, and don't care either way.
