The avatars that represent the player in Aion are unique beings called Daeva. Considered demigods, the Daeva are hybrids of omnipotent divinity and fragile mortality. Born from mortal beings, Daeva initially develop as any human would, but those blessed with the destiny of becoming a Daeva will show exceptional qualities early on in their lives. It is only through hardship or a significant event that a potential Daeva will awaken the dormant powers within and ascend as a true Daeva.

Daeva differ from common mortals in that they are able to control Aether (more on this coming soon). While it is theoretically possible for humans to control Aether, it would take a tremendous amount of effort and training; very few mortals have found success in their attempts. Even those that managed to acquire the skill found their abilities limited. It is understood and accepted that Daeva are fundamentally superior to mankind in this aspect.

One further quality that sets Daevas apart from mortals is their indestructibility. When bodies of humans are destroyed they are met with death. For Daeva, Aether is used by their spirits to revive their bodies. At times there may be side effects such as memory loss, but a sense of permanent death is something a Daeva will never need to fear.

Daeva enjoy a distinctive place amongst the different NPC creatures of Aion. They are given exclusive rights as rulers and act as protectors of humans from savage races such as the Balaur and the Krall. Human NPCs will express respect and gratitude to any Daeva who watch over them and protect their kind in battle.

As a Daeva you have the opportunity to fight for a just cause, one that brings victory and honour to your own kind, while protecting those placed under your rule.
