Homebrew Descender Species Details
They are celestials that often have familial ties with at least one god and get their names from the one they serve or have the closest relation with. Their celestial forms are often a mix of their heritage and what the god they serve represents. Death can only come from combat or at the hands of a god as they do not age after reaching the age of maturity. They age three times slower than humans and reach maturity at the age of 60.
As a consequences of their actions they are forced to relive life from the age of 10 with their memories slightly obscured often resulting in them misremembering or forgetting things easily. They bore slight traces of their former looks but otherwise their outward appearance mimics the race they appear near. The mimicked appearance does not grant them any additional racial bonuses outside of the ones affected by appearance.
