Homebrew Demigod Species Details
Demigods look like members of their mortal lineage, although they tend to have more ideal bodies due to their godly parentage, epitomizing the height of their mortal species and usually have traits carried from their godly parent. This can range from simple physical characteristics such as common eye or hair color; similar facial shape or voice. However, the biggest giveaway of their divine origin is the bright red, almost golden colored blood that runs through their veins that resembles a godly ichor.
Demigod Traits
The offspring of a god and a mortal, a hero of days, a Demigod.Languages
Whether they discover this by meeting an angel or when a traveling Aasimar got a peek at their scribbles as a child is, it is ultimately up to you. Celestial as a language sounds like a heavenly choir when spoken, and is written with a grace and fluidity that no mortal language has replicated.
Age
When they reach 100 years of age they continue to live on sustained directly by their godly parent or if their godly parent does not wish to they may sustain their selves through gaining their own renown and worship.

Unswerving of will and unassailable of mind, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened. In addition, you cannot be aged magically.
Mortal Parentage
Even though it is your godly parent that makes you special, you still have a mortal parent. While you don't receive any of the racial traits that your mortal parent has. Your mortal parent must be humanoid and you physically resemble that race in its most epitomized form.
Portfolio Sense
Demigods have a limited ability to sense events involving their portfolios. You automatically sense notable events and minor events within 5 miles that involves your portfolio. When a demigod senses an event, it merely knows that the event is occurring and where it is. The demigod receives no sensory information about the event. For example, if a demigod of the nature portfolio was within 5 miles of a forest fire it would become aware of it and where it is happening, "disturbance in the force".
