Empyrean

Empyrean

 

Empyreans are the Celestial children of the Gods of the Upper Planes.They are universally beautiful,statuesque,and self-assured.

   

Manifest Emotion

 

An Empyrean can experience Deity-like fits of serenity or rage.It can affect the environment around it by its mood.When an Empyrean is unhappy,the clouds might cry tears of salt water,the wildflowers in surrounding meadows might wilt,dead fish might wash ashore in lakes and rivers,or a nearby forest might lose the leaves from its trees.When an Empyrean is jubilant,sunlight follows it everywhere,small animals frolic in its footsteps,and birds fill the sky with their pleasing songs.

   

Evil Empyreans

 

A few Empyreans have turned to evil after venturing to the Lower Planes and becoming corrupted,or as the result of being cursed by Evil Gods,An evil Empyrean can't survive long on the Upper Planes and usually retreats to the Material Plane,where it can rule over a Kingdom of mortals as an indomitable tyrant.

  75% are Chaotic Good (CG) and 25% are Neutral Evil (NE)    

Immortal Titans

 

Empyreans don't age but can be slain.Because few Empyreans can imagine their own demise,they fight fearlessly when drawn into battle,refusing to believe that the end is upon them even when standing at death's door.When an Empyrean dies,its spirit returns to its home Plane.There,one of the fallen Empyrean's parents resurrects them unless he or she has a good reason not to.
