 * On the opposite side of the spectrum from Tieflings, Aasimar are a half-breed between a Human and a Celestial, a race of beings that act as servants of some good-aligned Gods and Goddesses. Appearing mostly Human in appearance, their Celestial heritage tends to make them exceptionally beautiful/handsome by Human standards, rivalling that of full-blooded Elves. Similarly to Half-Elves, Aasimar are generally regarded highly in Human society as a positive combination of the two races that came together to create them. Despite their heritage, not all Aasimar are naturally good, and many resent the expectations placed upon them by society, going so far as to consciously defy them by pursuing chaotic and/or evil paths. Like all of the other half-breeds, Aasimar tend to stick together, though some prefer the limelight of living solely amongst other Humans.


 * Like Humans, Aasimar are wary of Orcs and Goblins, as they are naturally destructive races. Beyond this, Aasimar tend to share the few prejudices that Humans hold, with an emphasis on Tieflings. Although their Human halves provide no reason for dispute, Aasimar and Tieflings feel a natural animosity towards each other due to their parent race's disposition towards each other; Celestials, beings of pure good, are the natural opposites of Demons and Devils. With enough patience, however, the two races can find middle ground in their shared Human heritage that allows them to work together and potentially form friendships. Other races tend to prefer the company of Aasimar when compared to pure Humans, as they believe that their mixed blood dilutes some of the opportunistic tendencies of Humanity.


 * Overall, Aasimar are a nice contrast between the familiar and the foreign, bringing more to a party of adventurers than a Human can by themselves.
