Basic Information

Anatomy

Humanoid with horns and a tail. Their eyes are just one solid colour and vary from black to white to red to blue. Their skin is often red, going from a fleshy pink to nearly black, but more exotic varieties exist. Some tieflings have different demonic traits. Some have forked tongues, a few have hoofed feet, and some have other traits. Some have more physical traits than their more common supernatural ones, such as extra strength or wings.. But all of them have looks that reflect their infernal heritage.

Civilization and Culture

Major Language Groups and Dialects

Infernal comes very natural to tieflings and almost all learn it. In fact, they need to actively not learn it for the devilish knowledge not to seep through.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

In most areas, other humanoids are highly suspicious of tieflings. There's nothing inherent in them to lean towards evil, despite the devil blood in their veins, but the way they look often make those who don't know better assume that they're up to no good. Tieflings are often used to more or less blatant racism as others assume the worst of them. Of course, when that is what everyone expects, it sometimes becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.   Quite a lot of tieflings deal with the constant prejudice by making themselves invaluable in one way or another. Forcing others to make deals with the devil, as it were.
