Had the thought of playing an Aasimar who is guided by, and/or descended from, a Ki-Rin. Sort of deviating from the usual shiny winged angel imagery one usually sees with Aasimar.
I'm honestly not sure what class to play them as. My immediate thought was Tempest Domain Cleric, but that's just coming off of my Monster Hunter sensibilities. I know, generally speaking, Ki-Rins are uber pacifists to the point that they don't touch the ground for fear of hurting something. And yet, they have the full spellcasting of a Cleric and actually have very strong natural weapons.
I figured I'd play with that by having the Aasimar themselves be really sick of the Ki-Rin's sh*t. Annoyed that their Ki-Rin overseer is constantly trying to rein them in and chastise them for their battle tendencies.
Cleric or Paladin or even Celestial Warlock does make the most sense. I just dont want to play an Aasimar as a holy class, cuz it's so on the nose... Druid maybe?
As an aside, I imagine their Celestial transformation as like their halo more closely resembling a crown of antlers, their skin turns to scale patterns, flame-like clouds form around their ankles allowing them to step and skate on air as their means of flight rather than wings, and sprouting a similar cloudy tail like that of a Ki-Rin.
