Aasimar Parentage

Aasimar are people with celestial parentage—a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.
As a result, an aasimar can draw the attention of evil cultists, Fiends, and other enemies of Mount Celestia, all of whom would be eager to strike down a Celestial’s offspring if they had the chance. When traveling, some aasimar prefer hoods, closed helms, and other gear to conceal their face. Others openly reveal their celestial heritage for all to see, welcoming the attention.
Celestial parentage reveals itself in otherworldly features—the ability to see in the dark, a touch that closes wounds or illuminates the night, resistance to deathly or radiant magic, or an unnaturally long life.
Regardless of their inherited traits and despite their celestial origin, aasimar are mortal and free to choose any path: good, evil, or somewhere in between. Some even regard questions of morality with complete ambivalence. Aasimar are evidence that biology, even celestial biology, is not destiny.
