Tiefling

Basic Information

Anatomy

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, and 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.

Rarity

Tieflings in the world of Illica are considered rarer based off the color of the skin on a ROYGBIV scale.

Genetics and Reproduction

When it comes to genetics, tieflings are not actually a real race in that aspect. They are a corruption on a genome. Where if their parent or someone in their family made a deal with a fiend, it could lie dormant for generations until that fiend finds it convenient for them.
Two tieflings can attempt to create a child together but there is a 50/50 chance that instead of having a normal child who is a Tiefling, they will end up creating a Fiend-spawn. A terrible creature whose mission is to serve their fiend lord in whatever way they are demanded to. These are the 3 different variations of Fiend-spawn.
