Angels are metaphysical beings found in various Judeo-Christian lore, particularly the Old and New testaments of the Bible. Modern convention places the image in many peoples' minds of an angel being this majestic Caucasian being with flowing hair, magnificent white wings and a brilliant golden halo while wearing white robes and playing a harp. Either that or they perceive them as cute, pudgy little babies slinging arrows into the asses of someone looking to fall in love.
The origins of angels may vary depending upon the source. Some film concepts present angels as immortal celestial beings completely divorced from humanity and existing solely to serve God's whims. Other story ideas may proffer forth the notion that angels were once humans who had lived virtuous lives and became an angel upon their death. Often, these beings become Guardian angels, assigned to protect one or more members of the living.
