Homebrew Half-Celestial Species Details

Half-Celestials can sometimes be stuck-up or think that they're better than other people because of their godly bloodline.  Half-Celestials have also gone on to become great rulers and genius inventors.  Depending on what god your parent was, you have some enhanced abilities.  Some Half-Celestials have Truesight or the ability to fly.  Most Half-Celestials are good, or at least lawful, but some of them can use their powers for evil.  Half-Celestials can be formidable opponents and fierce in battle.  They can also be intelligent mages or alchemists.  How you choose to use your Celestial gift is up to you.  Your race is feared and often discriminated against by people afraid of your power.  You are sometimes misunderstood and people can be wary and suspicious of you.  As a Half-Celestial, your most important task is to uphold the family honor and not bring shame to the family by getting into trouble or getting arrested.  Half-Celestials are very conscious of their reputation and image because one wrong step and they could be thrown in jail, or dishonor the family.  When you pick this race, you pick another race to be your other half, just for aesthetic purposes but use only the features from this race.
