Aasimar

Description

The Aasimar are those born of the gods, either parented by an angel and a human mother, or conceived through a blessing or a miracle during a time of darkness; a gift from the gods themselves. Aasimar mature at an extraordinarily rapid rate, reaching the appearance of a young human adult within their first year. Just because their appearance is mature, however, does not mean their personality is mature, and many young aasimar must be guided by a mentor to find their true purpose up until their spiritual goal has been reached.
Aasimar often become lost in their lives, whether they have achieved their purpose or when their mentor has failed their duties. Sometimes, especially among the impressionable and childlike youth of the aasimar, they fall to a path of darkness, creating a dire circumstance for not only those around them, but for themselves. These fallen aasimar, while not explicitly turning to a life of evil, are often wrought with the hardships brought on by their isolation from the gods and their own hubris. Fallen aasimar not consumed by evil sometimes seek redemption from the gods for their betrayal to the light, and may even find the solace they seek through the acceptance from a more welcoming deity.

Protector Aasimar

Protector aasimar are charged by the powers of good to guard the weak, to strike at evil wherever it arises and to stand vigilant against the darkness. From a young age, a protector aasimar receives advice and directives from a patron angel that urges it to stand against evil.

Fallen Aasimar

While aasimar are expected to uphold a righteous and valiant duty, many fail to realize the true childlike naivety and immaturity of the aasimar. Such naivety makes a young aasimar easily susceptible to manipulation, and through an act of malevolence caused through their own hubris, an aasimar can be struck down by their god, finding themselves following a path of shadow and evil. These fallen aasimar lose their radiant spirits, which are replaced with a void of darkness, and the good in their heart turns to malice. Fallen aasimar are not all entirely evil, however, as some come to realize and understand their failings, and take a neutral path in hopes to restore their light.

Character Build

Aasimar look nearly identical to humans, though their appearances may differ. While some may have a glowing pale or tanned skin tone, yellow eyes, and a hair color ranging from blond to auburn, or some might have a light or dark complexion, eyes of deep blue or light purple, and raven black hair.
When an aasimar becomes a fallen aasimar, they gradually change physically, often over the course of a week, though sometimes during the span of a month, depending on how quickly the aasimar finds themselves down the path of darkness. Their skin tone becomes ghostly and pale, their hair turns to white or black, and their eyes turn to dark or pale muted colors, with dark spots forming under their eyes. Fallen aasimar, despite their initial physicality, may begin to appear gaunt and almost corpse-like.
They may also have feathered wings; white for the purity of protectors and black for the fallen.
