Aasimar is basically a reflection of a tiefling. And Aasimar is just a humanoid with celestial lineage that has surfaced over one or more generations. Parents do not need to exhibit their celestial ancestry. How connected your character is to their heritage is up to you. Like a tiefling they have blood from another plane, which makes them an "outsider", but celestial so are often associated with "good". Since your race comes from blood, not a pact or gift, an Aasimar wouldn't necesarily need to have a patron deity, but they could. It's sort of how some tieflings worship fiends, but not all of them do.
OK - I have developed a complete backstory the covers my Warlock Pact but nothing to explain my Aasimar heritage. All I know is what I rolled on the Aasimar tables. My guide is "Seraphina" and she is "Stern and judgmental". Oh and I am playing a fallen Aasimar, so Seraphina abandoned my vice-filled character long ago. Ho Hum.
Anyone got any good resources and/or personal backstories for their angelic guides?

Can someone explain to me the connections between Assimar, Humans, Celestials and gods?
Also what are “good outsiders”?
Also, should PCs also identify the patron deity of their Angelic guide...similar to Divine Soul?
