Homebrew Asuran Species Details
Asura are described as powerful superhuman demigods with good or bad qualities. However, in reality all Asura hail from a demonic bloodline and struggle against their nature through their entire lives. All Asura have an obsessive craving for wealth, pride, anger, unbridled nature, and violence. If an Asura happens to fail at a task due to its cravings it will be tempted to question and challenge a more successful individual, in an attempt to steal their loot or fame.
For an Asura to resist these desires is exceedingly rare, and requires a great deal of mental fortitude coupled with personal desire. Even these "benevolent" Asura struggle to stay within the confines of law, often following their own understanding of morality.
