Homebrew Aasimar Vampire Species Details
"I begged the Guildpact for an army, a way to end the maddening horrific experiments in Dhul-Volantianol. They paid no mind, and now look at where we stand; a being of light corrupted as a vampire, a Nephilim. I peered into their eyes you know, two endless dark vacuums with small silver lights at its core, like stars on a dark sky, ethereal blue wings light lightning, that drew an aura of void about them, and a voice... a voice of rage and pain as they cried into a forsaking sky, and promising retribution.
Ikhros Volantianov lost a garrison of vampires that day, but we lost one of the Aasimar. Should you ever find one, run, for standing in the way of such a being and its target, just makes you the warm up."
— Aaros, Warden of the Frontier
Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens. They are descended from humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.
Hidden Wanderers
While aasimar are strident foes of evil, they typically prefer to keep a low profile. An aasimar inevitably draws the attention of evil cultists, fiends, and other enemies of good, all of whom would be eager to strike down a celestial champion if they had the chance.
When traveling, aasimar prefer hoods, closed helms, and other gear that allows them to conceal their identities. They nevertheless have no compunction about striking openly at evil. The secrecy they desire is never worth endangering the innocent.
