Homebrew Deva Species Details
Devas are immortal celestials sent as an agent of the gods and given humanoid form. They are born in fully-formed adult bodies. Devas are imposing figures, built like tall humans, but with purple or blue skin, white eyes, and unearthly grace. When a deva dies, its soul travels the astral plane for 100 years before being reincarnated in another adult deva body. After reincarnation, a deva recalls vague memories of a past lifetime, allowing it to draw from past experiences to give itself an edge. Though devas are typically good, a particular lifetime might drive a deva toward evil. When a non-good deva is reincarnated, its body develops thick black or white lined patterns. If the deva turns permanently to evil, it will be reincarnated as a rakshasa.
