Aasimar

Aasimar are members of any mortal lineage, imbued with divine energy and thus capable of transforming into a celestial aspect. They are created by the actions of a god, always with intent, but unlike pure celestials, they possess free will. They are a planar legacy, and technically a Demirace, as the celestial inheritance is rarely inherited by their children.
Each aasimar is created with a purpose, and granted a moronym - a name of destiny - but that purpose is never specific, and unless they seek out the identity and guidance of their 'investor' may remain a mystery to the aasimar for their entire life. The only hint is the celestial hue of their investment, which manifests in their transformed aspect. Blue aasimar have a higher calling, spiritual in nature, while black aasimar are created to take a direct hand in mortal affairs. An aasimar can live their life without seeking their purpose with ill-effect, but those who knowingly reject their calling may change their hue to red, debasing their gifts for selfish or corrupt ends.

Aasimar and Identity

Aasimar principally acquire their identity from the mortal society into which they are born. They are often drawn towards conservatism, although some choose to act out against the expectations of their unique bloodline.
