Long ago you were a respectable man, now something powerful grows inside you. Somehow a demon has been sealed within you and now struggles to get out at every opportunity. Now you wander as a pariah, haunted by the event that made you this way.Now you have turned to adventuring to either win the favor of the people through deed, or find enough coin to sway anyone that might judge you for what you have become. You might flinch at what they call you, or embrace it. Either way, it is difficult to hide that you are “demon tainted.”

When you encounter a demon, they immediately recognize you for what you are and treat you as though you are a fiend yourself. Though they might not necessarily act friendly towards you, they treat you with more respect and esteem than other mortals and readily parley with you as long as you have not already met them with open hostility. Additionally, when a normal person looks at you, they may feel in your aura that something is not right and they try to avoid you.

Suggested Characteristics
Demon-tainted characters, underneath their unusual appearance and dark histories, are still people. Although you might draw your powers from darkness, nothing dictates that your character is truly evil. In fact, you might be drawn to try to find healing and closure through good deeds. Alternatively, your character could feel drawn to darker ambitions and deeds as they struggle with the pull of the supernatural corruption within them.
