[edit] Celestial Otherkin
- One of the most common types of Otherkin, Celestials are beings from "up there," meaning the stars, cosmos, or other plane seen as being of the stars or "above" earth such as heaven. Most commonly found in this group are Angelkin, but not all celestials are tied to a deity in some way. Celestial does *not* imply servant of a god or goddess. There are many types of celestials, angels being the most common; angel (from the Greek "angelos") means "messenger" commonly understood as messenger of the divine.
- The one thing all celestials have in common, however, is that they are energetic beings. This means that they have no physical form, but are made of pure energy. They may appear physical by condensing their energy, but are actually not tied to a physical form unless incarnated.

[edit] Powers
Since they are energetic beings, celestials may wield considerable power. However, that's not to say all of them do. One thing is for certain, however-when incarnated they are bound to the abilities held by the race they are incarnated as. Celestial otherkin are not capable of anything that any other human being is not.
[edit] Incarnation
Celestials may incarnate, meaning take a physical form that they act as a "soul" for, for a multitude of reasons. They may choose it, a higher power may choose it for them, etc. Something that all incarnated celestials find is that they are bound into physical form by a series of binds and wards. This often leaves the incarnated celestial at an energetic deficit, and they will demonstrate vampiric tendencies, most often as psychic vampires. However, some celestial otherkin still run on an energy surplus, a condition usually referred to as being a generator (someone who puts out more energy than they take in). It is also generally believed, that to remove these wards and binds entirely would lead to the death of the incarnated celestial's physical form and their release from a physical existance. However, it is also believed that to do this, if it's even possible, would lead to a subsequent incarnation as beings don't usually incarnate for no reason at all.
