Homebrew Prime Aasimar Species Details
It was there, while I lay upon the hard and course ground, in which I saw her turn into her true self: An angel who chose mortality. Her skin glowed in a pearlescent hue, her eyes stay locked on me as she crouched down and touched my face. She was so bright and terrifying that I could barely look at her. If she was anyone other than my wife, I would cry from fear.
Prime Aasimar are archangels, angels, archdemons, and demons who choose to leave the heavens/hells and become mortal. Their decision could be for the bettering of Astare, their own selfish desire, or to bring suffering upon the races on Earth. Unlike normal Aasimar who are a descendent of a celestial being - Prime Aasimar were a celestial being themselves. They could also be chosen by their deity to go down to Astare and do their own bidding.

Once the character has transformed, they remain in that state for 10 minutes or until they use a bonus action to transform back. While in the alternate form, they gain the following abilities:
