Aasimar

---

Basic informations

Lore

Aasimar bore the mark of their celestial touch through many different physical features that often varied from individual to individual. Most commonly, aasimar were very similar to humans, like tieflings and other planetouched. They can be seen anywhere on Deia, anywhere where a humanoid community had contact with higher beings of light.   Nearly all aasimar were uncommonly beautiful and still. While several aasimar were immediately identifiable as such, others were even less distinguishable than tieflings from their human ancestors, commonly standing out with only one unusual feature. Most aasimar had pupil-less pale white, gray, or golden eyes and silver hair, but those descended from planetars could also have emerald skin, while those descended from avoral celestials might have feathers mixed in with their hair. Those descended from ghaeles often had pearly opalescent eyes. Solar-descended aasimars often had brilliant topaz eyes instead or silvery or golden skin and those with couatl or lillend lineage most commonly had small, iridescent scales. Many aasimar also had a light covering of feathers on their shoulders, where an angel's wings might sprout. As in tieflings, aasimar bloodlines could sometimes run dormant for generations, reemerging after being hidden for some time.

Scourge Aasimar

Lore

Scourge aasimar result from a ritualistic bond with celestial archons. The new dual-souled children are imbued with an unstable divine energy that blazes intensely within them. It feeds a powerful desire to destroy evil- a desire that is, at best, unflinching and, at its worst, all-consuming. Many scourge aasimar wear masks to block out the world and focus on containing this power, unmasking themselves only in battle.

Fallen Aasimar

Lore

Fallen aasimar rarely bother to differentiate between good and evil, living following their own will. Fallen aasimar despise demons of all kinds and commonly act on the material. A fallen aasimar can form when a aasimar is touched by evil and rejects their divine patron. In some ancient texts, there are mentions about the specific ritual of compensation taken by fallen Aasimar to return to their previous state, but those disappeared long ago.
