Fallen Aasimar

Fallen Aasimar

The circumstances of how we came together are inconsequential. Family is the bond I follow, and I write my own history from this day forward. -- Sul Chaotica, 2021

Fallen Aasimars are a group of aasimar individuals who reject their divine heritage, and choose instead to follow a different path. While these warriors were blessed with divine powers from birth and destined for greatness in service to their holy order, individuals within this domain had a falling out or chose to abandon their path for a variety of reasons. These individuals, while not necessarily evil in nature, can lean more into their chaotic and darker natures, as opposed to the lawful good nature of their angelic counterparts.

History

Fallen Aasimars share the same history with the Aasimar bloodline, save for the eventual abandonment and rejection of their nature and the following a new personal creed. Those individuals who tended to act in seemingly "selfish" ways or who opposed unjust laws in a manner of speaking out as activists were considered the first fallen. Others committing truly evil acts lost their champion’s blessing, choosing to seek out a new deity more in line with their bloodlust. Fallen tend to have been rejected by human civilizations, choosing instead to find residence and family within Monsterdom, citing the differences they exhibited as the core reason humanity seemed to cast them off.

Personality

Fallen Aasimars can range with any variety of personalities, mostly associated with the circumstances of their fall from grace. While most are rarely lawful or obedient, the range from good to evil intentions does muddle their reputation and makes for a slightly difficult time gaining trust in new allies.

Anatomy

Fallen Aasimars bear no anatomical difference to their counterparts, choosing instead to show their differences in the discoloration of the angelic markings they are "blessed" with. The golden eyes are kept the same from birth, though some choose to add a flair of color to denote more secretive motives and to hide their bloodline entirely. Many Fallen see their wings turn a black or gray color, some lose the ability to use them at all, bearing only a resemblance of skeletal forms where their wings once were. Some choose to keep these wings as a sign of their past, while others remove them in order to forsake their past deity even more.
