AASIMAR

!WARNING!:

As a surface race, if you visit or live in the underdark, please expect aggression if you are caught. If you enter the Underdark Lolthite Temple or the surface Shevarash Temple as someone against their dogma and get caught, it will be considered NVL. Exceptions exist if there is a DM or event that invites player to these places

Most aasimar grew up cautious around others and, like tieflings, were sometimes misunderstood, though never to the hateful extent many of the fiendish bloodlines were. Even those raised by understanding parents could not escape their strangeness, or the curiosity (or even fear) that their unique nature sometimes provoked. Many aasimar even suffered prejudice, something that deeply hurt the soul of the aasimar in question since most had an inherent bent towards empathy for others.

Aasimar preferred to keep a low profile in public, as not to draw the attentions of evil cultists, fiends, or other beings that wished to strike them down because the their celestial nature. An aasimar would abandon the low profile if it meant striking openly at evil, though never at the expense of endangering the innocent.

Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens. They are descended from humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.

Protector aasimar were tasked by the greater powers of good to protect the weak and innocent of the Realms. From their youth they were given a divine missive, along with guidance, to smite evil in the defense of those unable to fight on their own.

Protector aasimar were often more learned and judicious than others. Around once per day, they could channel their inner light to conjure to angelic, incorporeal wings from their back for one minute.
