Planetouched
There are many different kinds of Planetouched. The playable versions are below.
Aasimar
Graced with a touch of the holy, aasimars are distant descendants of Celestials. They are generally found fighting evil and helping those in need.
Personality: Aasimars are wise and forlorn knowing they do not belong in this world, yet unable to leave the only home they have ever known.
Physical Description: Aasimars are usually tall, good-looking, and generally pleasant. some have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as silver hair, golden eyes, or an unnaturally intense stare.
Relations: Aasimars get along with most all creatures as long as they do not disrupt the good, or act evil in any way. An exception to the rule are Tieflings whom they are most ditrustful of even if they prove that they are “good.”
Alignment: Most aasimars are decidedly good-aligned, but there is a bad apple once in a while. They don’t particularly lean to or away from law or chaos, and they wish for peace for all creatures.
Aasimar Lands: Aasimar can be found wherever there is evil to be fought and good to be upheld. Most come from the land of their parental race.
Religion: the aasimar worship all good deities depending upon their racial orientation and homelands
Language: Aasimar speak common as well as the language of their celestial ancestors.
Names: aasimar follow the naming conventions of their mortal parents. See the elven, Feyûn, and human lists for ideas.
Adventures: aasimar usually undertake quests to vanquish the lands of evil and bring good and harmony to the world.

Civilization and Culture
Deathtouched
The Deathtouched, more commonly known as Vampyres, are an odd bunch. They look like Vampires, but altogether act different... Sort of. Vampyres do suck Blood, and Need to suck blood to stay at full strength, but they don't need to to stay alive, and they aren't necessarily evil. And they aren't dead.

Tiefling
Though they are fellow Planetouched, tieflings are as unlike aasimars as one can get. Tieflings are descended from the outer plane via the abyssal and the infernal.
Personality: Tieflings are often twisted, devious and untrustworthy, but those who shun their ancestry are found to be untrusting, as they have been shunned their entire life.
Physical Description: Many tieflings are indistinguishable from their racial parentage, but some still have a minor demonic trait such as horns or donkey legs. They stand slightly shorter than humans, and they usually have lithe builds.
Relations: Tieflings trust others to not trust them, and it takes a while for a tiefling to trust another with more than that.
Alignment: Most tieflings tend toward evil, but there is the occasional white sheep. They tend toward neither law nor chaos, for they will happily be both.
Tiefling Lands: Tieflings are everywhere. They can usually be found in their ancestral homelands, though.
Religion: Tieflings tend to be non-religious, but if asked they will name a random evil deity.
Language: Tieflings speak common as well as any fiendish language.
Names: Tieflings follow the naming conventions of their mortal parents. See the elven, Feyûn, and human lists for ideas.
Adventures: Tieflings usually go out to prove themselves or steal things, depending on your tiefling

Anatomy

Additional Information
Average Intelligence
