Homebrew Asgardian (Aasimar) Species Details

The Asgardians, or the Æsir, are the inhabitants of Asgard on which the gods of Norse mythology are based. They are a race of extraterrestrials similar in appearance to human, possessing a highly advanced form of technology resembling magic and sorcery, which their entire civilization is built on. They were ruled by Odin and seek to keep the peace between the Nine Realms.

The Asgardians are a brave and a powerful warrior race whose passion for adventure is their religion, and their reputation as one of the mightiest races in the universe has earned them the respect and fear from other races. Having interacted with humans in Scandinavia centuries ago, they shaped their culture and religion and thus share many characteristics with the ancient Norse gods.
