Half-Breed, Aasimar

Posted by EarthDragon on 22nd August 2015.

Carrying the blood of a celestial, an aasimar is usually good-aligned and fights against evil in the world. Some aasimars have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as silver hair, golden eyes, or an unnaturally intense stare.

   Personality

Most aasimars strive for nobility in their behaviour, but must often fight against tendencies toward vengefulness or quick judgment. Some also experience a great deal of prejudice, particularly from their human neighbours, which can lead to aloofness. Ultimately, most aasimars end to be loners, unable to fully trust others.

   Physical Description

Aasimars look human (and are roughly the same height and weight as members of that race), except for one distinguishing feature related to their unusual ancestry. This feature may take the form of silver hair, golden or even topaz eyes, iridescent skin, an intense stare, or a powerful, ringing voice. Aasimars reach adulthood at about the same age as humans but are longer-lived, with the eldest members of the race living to be 150 years old.

   Relations

Although aasimars are mostly human, they rarely feel like they fit in among human society. Instead, they get along best with other half breeds—namely, k'aith and k'han-dush—because they usually share the same sort of semi-outcast background. Of the other races, aasimars save their distrust for tieflings, whose fiendish ancestry strikes a chord of suspicion in the heart of the aasimar.

   Alignment

Aasimars are usually good, as befits their celestial heritage. However, the extraordinarily rare evil aasimar often makes the vilest villain.
