A couple or a hundred generations ago, one of the character's ancestors was a celestial being - an angel, if you will. Any one, be it of humble or noble birth, can give birth to an aasimar, but they will all share the same basic traits. The celestial blood runs true.

Appearance
Aasimar are generally gloriously beautiful humanoids, with golden, silver or white hair, fair skin, and piercing eyes. They always show some obvious sign of their lineage - green skin, glowing halo, feline lower bodies, or even vestigial wings (feel free to improvise). They also carry some of their mortal heritage, as well, and are often mistaken for really imposing humans.
Alignment
Because of their heritage, they tend strongly towards good, although there have been a few who broke that mold.
Attitude
Aasimar are bold, confident, and brave. They may take up adventuring in search of a greater destiny, one that they have been raised to expect, for an aasimar character believes that she is a special person. Other aasimar might take to questing in order to protect her community or Church from the minions of evil.
