tieflings
Fiend-blooded player characters
Tieflings are a fictional humanoid race in fantasy role-playing games, particularly Dungeons & Dragons.
They have demonic or infernal ancestry, typically appearing human but with telltale features: horns, pointed tails, unusual skin colors, or solid-colored eyes.
The heritage makes them outsiders, often distrusted or feared by other races.
My tiefling warlock has a complicated backstory.
