Aasimar (pronounced AH-sih-mar) are mortals who carry a spark of the Upper Planes within their souls. Whether descended from an angelic being or infused with celestial power, they can fan that spark to bring light, healing and heavenly fury.

Aasimar can arise among any population of mortals. They resemble their parents, but they live for up to 160 years and have features that hint at their celestial heritage, such as metallic freckles, luminous eyes, a halo or the skin color of an angel (silver, opalescent green, or coppery red). These features start subtle and become obvious when the Aasimar learns to reveal their full celestial nature.

Due to their divine lineage, Aasimar are often seen as a blessing or a sign of favor from the gods by the superstitious. With some aasimar worshipped as a messengers of the gods. But such a life can be isolating, when all the community around you considers you different, even in a positive manner. Many aasimar therefore decide to keep their true nature hidden from others.
