Homebrew Aasiming Species Details

When the dark cambion and when the brilliant angels mate, one of two things happen. The child doesn't survive, and the mother usually meets the same fate, or an aasiming is born. An aasiming is humanoid with small stubs of horns just under an inch long just below their hairlines. Their hair tends to have either red and blond hair, brown and gray, or black and white. This is because of the opposing powers within, that coexist harmoniously most of the time. With one being carrying both demonic and angelic magic, aasiming don't always stick to one personality, sometimes having even three or four. Despite that, their ideals and goals don't change, just the mind of the executor. Depending on how the specific aasiming was raised usually determines whether he or she is more synchronized with his/her angelic or demonic side. The traits for both are listed below.
