Homebrew Aspect Species Details

Whether the manifestation of an emotion or a pure force of nature, aspects inhabit the world in a way unlike any other mortal being.  Created as an outlet for nature or society, aspects have no true parents or lineage, instead taking on traits of whatever force they represent.  While aspects are creatures that do not have a true form, many choose to take possession of an item that allows them to blend into modern society.  Similar to mimics, many aspects use their innate ability to possess objects as a way to hunt and prey on beings who do not align themselves with the aspect's ideals.

Aspects resemble whichever emotion or natural element they align with most, with some taking traits of multiple.  They can live for up to 1000 years, but never truly understand when or how they are born.
