Tiefling

Tieflings are the mortal offspring of humans and fiends. Because their heritage marks them with signs of their fiendish blood, they are often shunned by most other peoples of Avenaria, out of reactionary fear. Despite their looks and the fear that it causes, Tieflings are capable of choosing whatever path they wish in life, and many become paragons of good.
Because Tieflings do not have culture unique unto themselves, they tend to adopt the culture and mannerisms of their human parent. Most often they are met with scorn, or outright rejection. Half-elves, half-orcs, and, surprisingly, Aasimar bond with them over not being accepted in society.

No two tieflings look alike; the fiendish blood running through their veins manifests inconsistently, granting them an array of fiendish traits. One tiefling might appear as a human with small horns, a barbed tail, and oddly colored eyes, while another might manifest a mouth of fangs, tiny wings, and claws. Yet another might possess the perpetual smell of blood, foul incenses, and brimstone. Typically, these qualities hearken back in some way to the manner of fiend that spawned the tiefling's bloodline, but even then the admixture of human and fiendish blood is rarely ruled by sane, mortal laws, and the vast flexibility it produces in tieflings is a thing of wonder, running the gamut from oddly beautiful to utterly terrible.
