Aasimars are humanoids with celestial or other good-aligned outsider ancestry. They are often drawn toward acts of kindness and justice, though some may take advantage of their reputation for personal gain or secrecy. Aasimar traits can remain dormant for generations and may appear unexpectedly. Most societies view aasimars as omens of good fortune, though exceptional individuals may betray these expectations with acts of cruelty or deceit.

Aasimars resemble humans but display minor celestial traits that mark their heritage. Common features include metallic or radiant hair, jewel-toned eyes, glowing or lustrous skin, or faint halos of light. These traits vary in intensity, with some aasimars showing only subtle hints of their divine ancestry.

Aasimars do not form a distinct society, instead integrating into the communities around them. Many are drawn to organizations, religious orders, or groups focused on justice, healing, or protection. Righteous aasimars often congregate in good-aligned institutions, while corrupt aasimars may act in secrecy or lead covert networks. They can be cunning when needed, balancing the demands of society with their personal goals or sense of destiny.

Aasimars are most commonly found among humans, where their heritage is more readily accepted. They share a natural charm and social grace, often getting along well with half-elves, while half-orcs may view them with suspicion. Elves may regard them as overly polished, and gnomes often find their appearance and celestial mystique fascinating. Though they blend most easily with humans, aasimars can adapt to nearly any society, forging bonds based on personal merit rather than heritage.

Most aasimars are of good alignment, though exceptions exist. They often worship deities associated with honor, valor, healing, and protection, but some may follow artistic, scholarly, or nature-focused paths. Aasimars may also create personal faiths or honor abstract ideals such as freedom, balance, or harmony with the world.

Many aasimars become adventurers, driven by destiny, a sense of justice, or a desire to find their place in the world. Common paths include clerics, paladins, or oracles, though some pursue arcane magic as bards, sorcerers, or summoners. Rarely, aasimars take up martial careers outside the divine, often rising to leadership roles within their tribes or communities.

Aasimars can be born of any humanoid race, not just humans. Non-human aasimars retain the same traits as human aasimars, with size adjusted to their base race. They do not gain racial abilities of their parent race but are usually raised in the cultural context of that race, adopting similar weapons, skills, and combat styles. Other races producing aasimars are rare, and such individuals may be mistaken for members of their base race or viewed as exotic anomalies.
