While we're on the subject of travel; I once went to Wales over in the UK for a week. Beautiful country, nice people, and a lot of history. You can walk inside buildings older than the United States (which I guess is true for many other countries). But overall it was an amazing experience.By the way Dinh, loving the Game of Thrones reference.

Wales? Which part?

We started a whole discussion about qualities never mentioned or intended. The only time I've written beautiful was due to a subjective slip in describing their wings, but it seems that just because they're angel-like, they are supposedly graceful and perfect. Having features commonly referred to an exotic fashion doesn't make them necessarily attractive; red haired people with green eyes are today referred to as cool, beautiful, whilst in medieval ages they were hunted down, or deeply despised.Now, if you read the history, you may understand that the race is restricted to the sole Aeonas Kingdom, incredibly lowering ethnic differences and the DNA pool variations. For this reason they're faces look fairly similar one to another.About wings, I am obviously not an expert on the matter, so analyzing flight, wings complexion and other descriptive measures to validate their presence is rightly impossible to me. However I implied more times that by being magical beings, their origins and mana supported automatically flight, through a specific apparate.Obviously, something that flies, unless it has an incredible strength and such, can't possibly take with him anything more than a bow and some arrows, or a short sword and a parma, with little to none armor. If i have to explicitly say that an angel that wears an armor can't do anything more than glide, please say so.
On magic I've expressed my opinion. Now, since it's not allowed, and I'm not given to know why it is not allowed by the GM itself, I'll go trash in the bin around 10 hours I've spent designing my faction, because apparently too Mary Sue, too unrealistic, too magical.

Angel-like is synonymous with beautiful to me. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
I think my hatred of flying-types comes from a different NRP, where someone played as Seraphs. At the time, a few eyebrows were raised over the OP race, but the GM allowed it. However, once a battle started, they just flew overhead raining arrows from the sky. They had a legitimate reason to wipe everyone out. Walls meant nothing, no-one could hit them and eventually it stopped being fun, because no-one could face up to them. And the GM let it all happen. I don't want that happening.
I don't personally mind magic, if it's handled well. But I know someone is going to cast a spell, the victim will say 'that's OP' and one of them will quit because I'll need to pick a side and annoy the other side, who'll doubtlessly say I'm being unfair and I suck as a GM and so on and so forth. Magic is one hell of a can of worms - I would rather avoid it if possible.
