Fallen

Fallen are Demons or Angels that have been banished from either Heaven or Hell. Greene Oktober and Caine Robinson are both Fallen, while Dimitri Theodore Rockwell and Acelynn are not. This is due to the fact that despite their relationship with Hell, Dimitri and Acelynn never had their powers or wings sealed.

Causes
A being Falls when they have committed heinous crimes against either Heaven or Hell. In the case of Greene and Caine, Greene's dealings with Hell condemned him. Caine's protecting Greene during that time condemned Caine.

Process
For an Angel, the Falling ceremony is normally performed by either Gabriel﻿ or Michael. First the Fallen has their wings sealed with two seperate seals that appear as scars. This done, a Nega is then carved into their left forehead, limiting the powers they can use. This seals both the Given and Unique Powers of a Fallen. Next the back of the victim is signed by the Angel that sealed them, and occassionally a second Nega is added.

Effects
One a being has Fallen, they may not access their full powers. They can no longer take on their Full Form, and they can also not grow their wings. Both their Given and Unique Powers ﻿are depleted. The strength that the Fallen still retains after being sealed depends entirely on how strong they were before the ceremony took place.

Breaking Seals
Although it is extremely difficult, Fallen may break ther seals, at least temporarily. Generally, when one feels a strong urge to kill, the Nega on their forehead starts to bleed, as a precursor to the release. The Fallen must recite the line from the Latin "Our Father": "Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris" commonly translated to "And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Once said, the Fallen must endure a grueling physical trauma, as their back is cleaved open by the newly forming bones of their wings. The rest of their old transformation takes place, but parts of their form are altered, perhaps by more Negas, or by other such signs of their Falling. During their duration in this form, the pain from the transformation does not lessen, and the Nega on their forehead bleeds freely.
