Aasimar

The Aasimar are mortals with a celestial heritage from ancestors that originated from the highest planar frequency of Venhailo. Their lineage is traced back to the time of creation, when their forebearers served as emissaries of the Divine. They became appointed protectors and the Aasimar's descendents whose purpose was true, upheld justice and spread hope across the planar frequencies. Those who failed, had fallen from grace and became beacons of dark magic.   Aasimar have migrated to various planes, developing distinctions while retaining the divine power granted by their celestial progenitors. Aasimar arise among the population of mortals scattered across the Silverhost Empire and beyond; their heritage often appearing subtly at first and become more pronounced as their powers grow.  
Physical Characteristics:
Aasimar possess a humanoid form with radiant, ethereal features that begin to show in youth. They have an average adult height of around 6 feet for males and just under that for females. They tend to have a slender, graceful build. When empowered, their skin often glows faintly, ranging in hues from alabaster white to golden bronze, and their eyes shine with a celestial light, lacking visible pupils. Aasimar hair can be any shade, but it often appears lustrous and reflective. Their divine heritage grants them an aura of otherworldly beauty and presence.   Aasimar reproduce in the same manner to humans, with their celestial traits passed down through generations. Their growth rate is comparable to that of humans, with distinct life stages marked by the awakening of their maturing divine abilities. Adaptable to various environments, Aasimar inhabit both urban and natural landscapes, often dwelling in temples, shrines, or places of great natural beauty.
