Aasimar
(Link to Wikis in Race Name)
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.
An aasimar, except for one who has turned to evil, has a link to an angelic being. That being—usually a deva—provides guidance to the aasimar, though this connection functions only in dreams. As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.
Even aasimar wholly dedicated to good sometimes feel torn between two worlds. Despite its celestial origin, an aasimar is mortal and possesses free will. Most aasimar follow their ordained path, but some grow to see their abilities as a curse. These disaffected aasimar are typically content to turn away from the world, but a few become agents of evil. In their minds, their exposure to celestial powers amounted to little more than brainwashing.

Scourge Aasimar
Scourge aasimar are imbued with the divine energy that blazes intensely within them. It feeds a powerful desire to destroy evil- a desire that is, at its best, unflinching and, at its worst, all-consuming. Many scourge aasimar wear masks to block out the world and focus on containing this power, unmasking only in battle

Fallen Aasimar
An aasimar who has been touched by dark powers as a child or who turns to evil in early adulthood can become one of the fallen-a group of aasimar whose inner light has been replaced by shadow.
The appearance of a Fallen Aasimar tends to differ by each case, some merely lose their divine features while others have them blacken or take on more infernal characteristics depending on the source and reason for their fall.
