Angels in the Dresden Universe
rodnunley:
Thanks for all the help guys. Good tips all around. I guess I need to ease up on reading the books so I can finish reading the RPG book before attempting to make a character. :)

Adds another character to the list of possible future characters

This is all making me think of Dogma. Loki and Bartleby as Scions, gaining more an more angelic abilities and features as they movie continues. Then in the end they Choose mortal.
Rel Fexive:
That's a good comparison. And the Nephilim (with fields or otherwise) are definitely the sort of direction to move in too.
Yeah, they might never achieve full Choir status, but even Heaven needs talented footsoldiers, right?
JosephKell:
I think angelic scions would be very rare. Angels marrying (or even just mating with) humans may tread on free will. Yeah, a person has the choice (presumably) to reject the advances of an angel, but can we expect angels to be anything less than perfect?
The morally gray (and black) guys don't care about free will or choice (except when it benefits them, see the two Mortal Knights of Faerie) which makes their scions much more common (with Changelings the most common due to the proximity of Faerie). If demons could leave the Nevernever as easily as fae (my assumption is that demons have to be summoned) there would probably be a lot of demon issue in the world.
Heaven has little need of its own foot soldiers. Angels seem to be sent to recruit whoever they deem fit to serve.
