Aasimar Species in Melyria | World Anvil

Aasimar

Aasimars are descendants of humanoids and celestial beings, usually angels. Aasimar's come in many shapes and sizes, usually having the closer resemblance of their humanoid parent(s), with some twists that have been inherited from the angelic parent or ancestor. In some cases, the difference is so subtle, that most would not realise that they are dealing with aasimar at all.

Compared to tieflings, aasimars tend to be far more rare and hard to come by, due to their less obvious appearance and the nature of the angels that they descent from. Angels do not tend to bless humanoid lines with their blood or procreate with them to a similar degree to fiends, being far pickier about their chosen. This can majorly affect how aasimars are viewed, making them both revered and frightening, depending of whom you ask.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Curiously, aasimars don't tend to have such overtly distinct features as some of the other hybrid species, though differences between individual aasimar can be far more bizarre and striking. Some tells of the aasimar-blood can be metallic- or jewel-like colouring and reflection in eyes, skin or hair, rarely all at once, and sometimes in a very subtle manner.

About Aasimar: As aasimar is a hybrid race, it is possible in the world of Melyria that they have very curious ancestry. This generator considers that your aasimar is human born, but if you wish to have them mix with another race, feel free to use other race's chart. Age and common features from height to weight come from whichever you choose to use as a base. With elves, aasimar would look and age like a half-elf.

Physique

Below you find tables to help determine your character's basic physique.

Height

Here you can find the height chart(s) for the species. Notice that "very short" and "very tall" are beyond average height scope. Feel free to push size beyond these measurements, if required. Heights are loosely based on the official DnD lore, rulebooks and other material, but might have been altered drastically.

Weight

Below you find the weight modifiers for the species to calculate the estimated weight. The numbers are based on DnD lore, rulebooks and other material, and edited for added variation and changed to something that resembles a BMI (wouldn't recommend using them as a health guide though). On the side, you have a calculator to figure out the weight.
