[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8190286, member: 779"] The beginning of the Aasimar writeup, where I get to the fluffy stuff first: [B]Aasimars[/B] Aasimar are often thought to be the opposites of Tieflings, their lineage may be traced back to various celestial beings such as Angels, Archons, Guardinals, Celestial Eladrin, Asuras, Lillendi, Quasars, Shedu, Hollyphants, rumors of the mysterious Rilmani and other beings. Some Aasimar origins can be traced to the mere influence of planar energies from the Upper Planes. Many Aasimar prefer to keep their natures hidden due to attention due to the expectations of from others whether good or bad. Other Aasimar enjoy the benefits of such attention basking in the adoration and worship that many have of them. Aasimar are expected to the take up the sword to root out evil, defend the innocent and inspire those to justice, but the truth is that many Aasimar are quite far from such expectations. The influence of the celestial background does often drive an Aasimar towards righteousness, but often their free will and mortal flaws drive them away from such paths. In many cases the celestial influence may fundamentally feel revulsion for mortals seeing all their flaws, driving an Aasimar down a very dark path. When Aasimar use their powers their celestial nature comes to the forefront manifesting something that might be a serene and benevolent light, or might be blinding flames of fear and wrath. Most Aasimar will find a place in society should they choose to. Those born to a mortal parent are rarely abandoned, and tend to be cherished as they seen as being a blessing to all those around them.
