====== Half-Celestial (Restricted/Limited) ======
Mysterious guardians with radiant bloodlines, Half-Celestials are the result of unknown unions between Humans and a higher, celestial force. Fierce defenders of planar balance, they walk the mortal realm with purpose—at once feared, admired, and misunderstood.

----

===== 🌍 Lore =====
No one knows exactly what Celestials are—but the Half-Celestials carry their legacy. They are driven by an innate sense of duty to protect the balance of the planes. Their understanding of “balance” does not always align with mortal philosophies, and their strange appearance often sets them apart in society.

Some worship them. Others resent their moral rigidity. But no one doubts their strength—or their resolve.
