Aasimar, Void (5e)

At birth, an aasimar is given an angelic guide from the gods atop Mount Celestia to help steer them on the path of good. These guides usually communicate through dreams or visions. However, on rare occasions, some guides will show visions that cause the aasimar to retreat to the emptiness of Wildspace, turning them into silent observers instead of a beacon of good that strives to help others. This prolonged time in Wildspace transforms the aasimar's blessed appearance, draining them of colour and turning them into a void aasimar.

### Aloof Observers

An aasimar always starts out with an angelic envoy to help them in their pursuit of good. Such angels guide an aasimar through dreams and visions to instruct them of their divine duty. Sometimes, these visions will direct an aasimar to silently observe the Material Plane rather than try to actively help others. Though such an act need not require ascension into Wildspace, all void aasimar do, stating that the silence in this part of the Astral Plane makes it easier for them to watch and contemplate. It isn’t uncommon for void aasimar to watch the Material Plane for their entire lives. The resulting conclusion causes them to become detached from the very people they are meant to aid.

### Emptiness Personified

Very rarely does a void aasimar return to the surface of the Material Plane once perched on their empty mast. When one does, they stick out like a sore thumb. Very rarely will a void aasimar speak, and having spent years without contact from others, they no longer remember how to empathise with other people.

A void aasimar’s manner and appearance will seem otherworldly. Indeed, the few weeks and months after returning to the Material Plane, a void aasimar may feel overwhelmed by the numerous physical stimuli that surrounds it. Many choose to return to the empty domain of Wildspace. Few, however, undergo a sort of mental recalibration as they slowly get used to being around others again.

***Light Bearer.*** You know the *light* cantrip. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it.

***Celestial Revelation.*** When you reach 3rd level, choose one of the revelation options from the aasimar race in *Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse*, or from the following option below. Thereafter, you can use a bonus action to unleash the celestial energy within yourself, gaining the benefits of that revelation. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. Once you transform using your revelation below, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest:

* **Unending Void.** Your eyes and skin turn deep black and absorb all light. Until the transformation ends, your body acts as if it is the source of a *darkness* spell. You can see through the darkness created by this trait. If this area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 3rd-level or higher, the darkness is dispelled.
