History
No one is entirely certain who or what the first tiefling parring was, or the first instance of a tiefling being spawned. Some believe as long as man has walked the planet, tiefling have always been there. Since humanity has been taught by their faiths to fear the mark of the demons, many tieflings face discrimination for their heritage, and so many take to crime. However, some tieflings have found to be more welcomed in far away lands such as Kantō, who view them as a sort of yokai or oni, or even Rus and Ucax. Despite the hardships, tieflings have persisted and thrived throughout time, and will continue to do so
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Due to their pensient for crime, even though that si more forced upon due to circumstance then any actual ill will, many view tieflings with suspicous as they assume this demonic heritage has left some sort of mark. While this is not entirely true, as tieflings are fully capable of being "godly" folk, due to the discrimination they face, it is common for tieflings to turn to a life of crime or worse. Due to this, tieflings tend to favor mercenary work, or becoming adventurers where they can prove their capability to others
