Normally the first meeting of a demigod and their parent sets the tone for the relationship and it is up to your Dungeon Master to determine the nature of the relationship. However, while there are demigods that are close enough to their godly parents to request such things there are demigods who despise or even hate their parents as well as those whose godly parents haven't even acknowledged the divine blood that courses through them. Whereas a god may be distant from their cleric only giving them occasional pushes in the right direction, a god may appear before their child in a more direct fashion to grant insights into their quests and may even perform miracles the demigod wouldn't be able to themselves. In the way, a cleric has a connection to his or her deity a demigod has that same connection with a more personal touch. Such legends are Achilles, the hero of the great Trojan war, the famed Heracles and his many exploits, Karna, the son of the Sun god Surya, Bragi, son of Odin and so on.Įach forged a legend of themselves through their great and not so great deeds and it is by the legends they live on. The tales of individual demigods are told in legend, that is their history. Demigods often grow to become great heroes or terrible villains. Though often the result of a direct union of a deity and a mortal, however, different circumstance may cause a demigod to be born in another way. For as long there have been gods, there have been the half-blood children of them. Their celestial origins along with this shared sense of conflicted purpose cause them to be largely understanding of each other and as such demigods feel the greatest sense of community in these societies.Ī sense that often becomes lost to them in their early teens when they begin to manifest their divine powers. However, of all the races that exist within the world, the aasimar are a people whom demigods feel the greatest connection towards. There are few who can understand the strange dynamic a demigod has with their godly parent so for a demigod to seek out others of its kind is not uncommon despite the uniqueness of their kind. Being as they have a far greater capacity for good or ill than mortals, there is ultimately little in way of grey about their personalities. They may indeed go many years at a time without doing anything noteworthy, but they infallibly either prove themselves the most selfless and noble of saints or the most depraved and demonic of persons. While most people exist complacently somewhere between good and evil, content to putter along in their dull lives exhibiting neither great heroism nor dastardly villainy, a demigod is never ordinary to anything more than passing observation. However, the biggest giveaway of their divine origin is the bright red, almost golden colored blood that runs through their veins that resembles a godly ichor. This can range from simple physical characteristics such as common eye or hair color similar facial shape or voice. Demigods look like members of their mortal lineage, although they tend to have more ideal bodies due to their godly parentage, epitomizing the height of their mortal species and usually have traits carried from their godly parent.
