General
Tieflings are the accursed offspring of demons and halflings, an unnatural blend of 
abyssal corruption and mortal cunning. They are smaller than even the smallest halflings, 
yet they possess a sinister intelligence and an innate connection to dark magic. Their 
demonic heritage manifests in their mischievous and malevolent nature, often drawing 
them to crime, subterfuge, and assassination. Many Tieflings are feared and shunned at 
birth, considered an ill omen, yet others are sought after by cults, crime syndicates, 
or warlords looking for agents of chaos. While they inherit a halfling's natural 
dexterity and adaptability, their infernal bloodline warps their bodies, often diminishing 
their constitution and leaving them frailer than their pure-blooded kin. Despite this, 
Tieflings are masters of manipulation and deception, and many use their talents to rise 
to power in the underworld, infiltrate noble courts, or serve as the hidden daggers of 
powerful entities.

Physical & Mental Traits
Tieflings have halfling-sized frames, but their abyssal heritage leaves them with grotesque 
deformities that set them apart from their mortal kin. Common features include forked tails, 
cloven hooves, spiked or steel-like hair, small clawed hands, fanged teeth, and large 
curling horns. Their skin may take on ashen, reddish, or sickly pallor tones, though some 
resemble halflings with only minor abyssal touches. One of their most disturbing traits is 
their glowing, otherworldly eyes. All Tieflings have deep red irises with black or white 
pupils, which glow in dim lighting or moments of intense emotion. Many believe that their 
eyes are windows to the Abyss itself, marking them as creatures of inherent wickedness.
Mentally, Tieflings are intelligent and manipulative, but they lack strong faith or the 
fortitude of heart found in other races. While they are not inherently evil, they are drawn 
to chaos, crime, and self-interest. Many Tieflings struggle with their abyssal impulses, 
often oscillating between trickery, ambition, and a deeply rooted mischievous cruelty that 
they may or may not choose to embrace.

Culture & Philosophy
Tieflings are not a true race with a unified culture¿they are outcasts, drifters, and creatures 
of circumstance. Many grow up as street rats and cutthroats, learning early that the world 
has no love for them. Others fall under the influence of dark cults, demon-worshippers, or 
power-hungry warlords who recognize their abyssal gifts. Those who survive their chaotic 
upbringings often become skilled assassins, mages, spies, or con artists, using their talents 
to manipulate and infiltrate rather than to wage open war. Unlike other races, Tieflings do 
not seek to build great kingdoms or noble lineages; instead, they carve their own path through 
deception, magic, and violence, often leaving behind nothing but ruin. Despite their sinister 
nature, Tieflings are not mindless servants of the Abyss¿they are free-willed, and some even 
struggle against their demonic instincts. However, their mischievous tendencies and knack for 
causing chaos make it difficult for them to remain neutral for long. Most eventually fall into 
crime, rebellion, or dark magic, as though drawn toward the shadows by fate itself.
