Homebrew Astral Nymph Species Details
Astral Nymphs
Astral Nymphs are nature’s embodiment of physical beauty, and they reside anywhere in the astral plane. They are so unbearably lovely that even a glimpse of one can mentally damage an onlooker. They can look like any humanoid, the only way you would know that you are in the presence of a astral nymph is that you will be harm from their beauty or they tend to cover up their face and body. Most astral nymphs hate evil and any who would despoil the astral planes for any reason. A astral nymph’s demeanor is wild and mercurial. Like nature, she embodies both great beauty and fearsome danger. She can be kind and graceful to mortals who respect them but is also quick to strike against mortals who try to hurt or take advantage of them. Astral Nymphs are rare due to pirates enslaving them/using them for their gifts. Astral Nymphs are highly sought after thus they always live in danger and distrust of peoples motives.
Wild Personality
The personality of a astral nymph is also a reflection of beauty. Astral Nymphs are mercurial creatures who may act with kindness but are also quick to strike against those who tread on them by acting greedily or thoughtlessly. As caretakers of peace, they favor anywhere they can be safe. However, due to their playfulness, curiosity and carefree nature, the strongly individual nymph can be found all over supporting a wide variety of different causes.
Embodiment of Nature
Astral Nymphs, unless they choose to do so, do not reproduce, all of their offspring will be female but are rather generated by the beauty of the natural world. The beauty of a astral nymph is so difficult for the mind to comprehend that the brain of an onlooker often simply stops processing visual stimuli to avoid sensory overload. An astral nymphs tears have healing properties. A kiss from an astral nymph can be deadly, they can also heal from kissing someone.
Combat
A astral nymph rarely has cause to enter combat. When forced into a dangerous situation, they can rely on their inherent beauty, damaging all who lay eyes upon them. If the situation becomes even more dangerous, they can disrobe, severely damaging any who see them simply by exposure to such raw, natural loveliness. Astral Nymphs also possess a kiss that is beneficial to them but not to the humanoid creature receiving it.
