Tiefling

Tieflings are conceived in one of three ways.   The first occurs when a Demon possessed human has a child with a mortal. These Tieflings look like the two mortal parents with tiefling traits.
The second occurs when a Devil in its mortal form has a child with a mortal. These tieflings looks like a mix between the mother and the mortal form of the Devil, with added Tiefling traits.   The third occurs when a Tiefling has a child with another mortal. The resulting child looks like a mix between the two parents. The Tiefling traits stay true from generation to generation, never diminishing. Every child of a Tiefling is a Tiefling.   Tieflings can be born of any race and thus don't have any unifying culture, however, a curious side-effect of their nature is an inborn understanding of the Infernal tongue. Every Tiefling has a different experience based on the situation they are born into. One might face severe oppression and rejection by even their own family, while another is fully accepted or even revered.
