Tieflings
Background
Tieflings are those who had escaped the Hellish Realm that some Refer to as ‘The Red Canyon’. These Tieflings sometimes raising families within such a gruesome world, trying to make the best of it with their life Though with the proper Magicks, Some Tieflings managed to Make it into the Mortal Realm, and spread their populus there.
Most, if not all Tieflings, are assumed to be Selfish and out for themselves due to having come from the Red-canyon, and gaining special hate from religious people and their churches. Their Stories of dead people passing into their Realm is classed as ‘heresy’ by some, as it contradicts many bibles and religious ‘studies’. This unfortunately made living a peaceful life within the Mortal realm Near-impossible. No matter where tieflings went, weary eyes watched from all corners.
Appearance
Tieflings have Human-like figures, however, have skin that goes from dark reds and purples and browns-to pale, bright pink and red hues to match their Hellish features. Abnormally, exposed parts of their skeletons protrude through the back or front of their skull to form bull-like horns, though can be many different shapes and sizes.
Despite Their Human-Like Appearance, some may have Pointed, Elven-Like Ears, depending on their heritage. Usually, a tiefling would only have two horns, but there are cases where some tieflings may have up to four, or even one. Something Similar to their Horns are with their knuckles, Sharp, Bone-like Claws protruding from them, though easily blend in with their skin, only being able to be differed from by the materialistic touch and sharpness.
Another hell-like feature that curses the bloodline of tieflings are tails that tend to end in the shape of a Pointed arrow or spade. Said Tails Differing in Shapes and Sizes. Their eye colour is usually a mix of pure black, red, purple or silver, the same going for their Iris.
Some Tieflings, compared to Most, May Have a more Charming Aspect to them, whether it be their abnormal features, or even their surprisingly clean looks… Albeit, sharp fangs may deceive their charming nature.
Culture
Due to Tieflings being mostly born and raised within the Red-canyon, it's Usually always assumed that they are on a chaotic scale of an alignment, which, some indeed are. However, Tieflings are not all born within these assumptions, especially those who are brought up within the Mortal-realm. But some that have come specifically from the Red-canyon may be more lawful or Morale-wise act better, considering the ‘banished’ that they have had to fight invading their home, they’d rather not stoop as low as some of those souls.
Due to their reputation, either way, Most end up being brought up in fields of Thievery, Manipulation or in other forms of immoral acts such as fulfilling an endless amount of greed or gluttony. But others try to move away from these ways of living by taking up arts in Magic, Music, Etc- Finding different hobbies to occupy themselves instead, even if acting in a chaotic manner whilst doing so.
Strengths
The strengths and Weaknesses of the Tieflings are quite simple- having an affinity to magic is a strength, along with being able to see quite easily in the dark, holding a form of night vision along with a resistance to Fire and are quite fast- albeit unable to keep up with a Lycan or Vampire.
With Their Fire Resistance, Burns and Heat do not phase them much, but they are not fully immune to such. Due To A Tiefling’s Scaly Skin, Slashing isn’t as effective as Stabbing or blunt damage would be. Tieflings are also quite energetic and acrobatic due to having originated from the Red Canyons naturally acrobatic-like surroundings, this making them good for jobs that require a lot of energy and durability.
A Tiefling’s Punches are likely to penetrate and slash unprotected skin, due to the sharpness of their Knuckle-bone and claws, much like their horns.
Weaknesses
However, they still have normal weaknesses such as damage from a stab from a sword, Blunt axe, ect will injure them like any normal human, Along with a weakness to the Cold as an even counter to the Heat resistance. Due To This, they also are more prone to Frostbite, and many things alike.
Another crucial weakness to Tieflings is their inability to handle Divination being used/or used against them. They are capable of learning and using it, however at a great cost; The Radiant energy that forms divination will leave a burn after every use. Healing with Divination can still be used on a tiefling, but be a lot more painful and can leave burn-like scars behind.
Due To Most Lives having been spent in the Red Canyon, Some Tieflings are unable to tell from which is Morally Correct and Incorrect, usually having to be taught at a young age.
