Angelborn
The Aasimar are a celestial race, born from the union of angels and humans, embodying the divine grace and radiant power of their angelic ancestors. With ethereal beauty and an inherent connection to the celestial realms, Aasimar often serve as beacons of hope and righteousness in the mortal world. Their celestial heritage grants them otherworldly abilities and an innate sense of duty to combat evil and uphold justice.
Physically, Aasimar are marked by their striking, often luminous features—glowing eyes, radiant halos, or skin that shimmers with a faint, otherworldly light. Their celestial ancestry manifests in various ways, from healing powers to the ability to channel divine energy. Despite their divine origins, Aasimar live among mortals, striving to balance their heavenly calling with the complexities of human existence. They are champions of the light, ever vigilant against the encroaching darkness, and serve as a reminder of the celestial realms’ enduring influence on the mortal plane.
