The Original Race-

Often referred to as angels, the celestials would have to be one of the most well known races through out history. They are ageless, timeless, appearing to live outside the little bubble that is the laws of the world. They have no beginning and no end, they simply are. For this reason no one has really questioned their existence for long.
They are everything good and kind. They seem to have endless amounts of generosity and live for helping others. But they aren't perfect, they still have flaws, celestials are in a way classically brilliantly minded. They have an uncanny ability to solve problems, but sometimes completely miss the point.
The original celestial does not possess free will. They do the bidding of a higher being. Either god or goddess. They can not argue with what is demanded of them by their creator, and even if they could it is unlikely they would, as they've very little development in the decision making field, having never needed to work on this ability, it is next to non-existent.
Celestials are breath takingly beautiful. They more commonly have light coloured hair, such as blond, light brown, ginger. But deep reds, dark browns and blacks do occasional appear (very rare). Their eyes are blue, striking green or a mystic grey. They stand taller than humans, around 6'2" - 6'6" giving them an undeniable presence. They adorn large wings clad in feathers, capable of sustaining their weight for long periods of flight.

The Evolved-

It is unknown as to when or how this new strain of celestial came to be. Some argue that it always was, just like their original family. However studies show that the evolved celestials are unique to Falhid, and aren't found anywhere else on Janzis.
The evolved are not so different from the original celestials. They still have a kind and good eye on everything. But they do not give this kindness away to just anyone. They can not stand daemons and they down right loath demons. In a way they can be a bit snobby to the fallen. If they think you deserve it they will give you endless loyalty, trust and generosity.
Unlike the original celestials the evolved do have free will. They don't take orders from anyone, holy or otherwise. There is a theory that the evolved were original celestials that were granted their freedom for a particularly good deed.
Their appearance makes it almost impossible to tell them from the original. However some have different colours washed through their wings. A blue hue is quite common, but it can be anything to a red or even grey. Darker hair colour is also more common, especially in second generation evolved celestials.</sub>
