Aasimar

Born with the power of benevolent celestial entities, aasimars are thought to be supremely blessed with strength of will, extraordinary beauty, and innate magical gifts. But many aasimars find that these perceived talents—whether they actually have them or not—set them apart from their friends and family, fostering loneliness in themselves and jealousy in others.

Aasimars with a positive outlook face these challenges by serving their communities, populating the environment with kindness or artwork, or simply supporting those who are less fortunate. Some aasimars hold a more hostile worldview, however, and risk falling into resentment, despair, or even the temptations of evil. Even then, the stereotypes surrounding an aasimar cling close, causing others to view them as tragic figures in need of redemption.
The powers and physical appearances passed down from celestial beings vary according to an aasimar's lineage. Those who descend from archons are sometimes known as lawbringers, while those who possess angelic blood are called angelkin, and those related to azatas are referred to as musetouched.

Physical Description

An aasimar’s physical appearance depends as much upon the features of their parents as it does upon the nature of their celestial heritage. While an aasimar is recognizably a member of their humanoid ancestry, they always bear a few physical traits that set them apart, such as glowing eyes, a faint halo of light above their head, feathers for hair, antennae on the brow, a metallic sheen to the skin, lack of a belly button, a strangely musical voice, or a naturally pleasing floral scent. It’s a common stereotype that all aasimars are handsome or beautiful—another assumption aasimars face throughout their lives.

Other Information

Aasimar on Mythgrios

On Nethran aaismar are most commonly found throughout the Pactlands, specifically Termalane, Ispanfain, and New Mezzica where they fit into society with little to no issue. Despite their commonality in the Pactlands, aasimar can also be found in Zendrylae, Dendrah, Lu'Dain, and Chaldrik. But their is one place where the aasimar have a region to call their own, the radiant city of Taiyong in Shokaiton's Hitai Province. Taiyong's aasimar crafters also display masterful skill in their chosen professions, and their finely made goods are coveted across Mythgrios.

Divine Heritage

A sizeable number of aasimar are the product of unions between mortals and gods, as the gods of Mythgrios are known to wander the world as they see fit. Many of these aasimar are the children of Brymod, Aandorel Ieldulan, Airahson, Bar Bar, Farilis, and even Koldin, and for their part—the gods rarely interfere in the lives of their offspring. Not out of malice or shame mind you, but more as to not burden them with the pressure of having a god as their parent. Good aligned deities of Mythgrios who bring such children into being, often continue to watch over and offer occasional aid throught their lives.

Divine Pressure

Societies expect great destinies from aasimars, and the pull of their celestial tether guides them towards noble pursuits. Most aasimars embrace these impulses, looking to prove themselves by answering the call. But this intense pressure from their peers and the celestials above may cause an aasimar to shirk their birthright and flee their homes, overwhelmed. There are also aasimars who resist the celestial call entirely, acting as a force for evil to spite their heritage.
