Aasimars are the planar scion descendants of mortals and celestial beings from the Great Beyond. They are also referred to generally as angelkin, celestials, or godtouched, or by more specific names if their bloodline is known.
Aasimars often look like a typical member of their mundane ancestry with minor indicators of their celestial influence. These differences can span a wide range, but most often are exemplified by an unearthly beauty, hair that shines like metal, strange eye color, or even glowing golden halos. In many cases, an aasimar's beauty is not due to physical traits but rather to a supernatural tendency among others to interpret their features as beautiful or attractive. This heritage can remain hidden for generations and unexpectedly appear in the offspring of two seemingly human parents.
Aasimars also tend to have strong, confident personalities, with minds that are not easily shaken by doubt or misdirection. They are often quite insightful and perceptive, able to formulate coherent and persuasive arguments with little effort.
Like their ancestors, many aasimars have an increased power over light and dark, displaying the ability to see in complete darkness for limited distances and spontaneously generate daylight.
