Homebrew Nephilim (Aasimar-Tiefling) Race Details

Never before have I found such a race of people who struggle to find their place in the world. On one hand, people praise them for their Celestial heritage, yet they are shamed and belittled for their Infernal heritage. I hope one day they can find a place to call home.

Nephilim are the product of the rare union between an Aasimar and a Tiefling, which results in a potentially powerful people.

Conflicted Souls

Being the result of a union between an Aasimar and Tiefling, the public’s opinion on the Nephilim puts them in a strange place. On one hand, the Aasimar are a beloved race due to their celestial heritage, but then they are mistrusted and shamed due to their infernal heritage. This results in most people feeling undecided, casting them aside in fear that they might have taken more influence from their infernal heritage. As such, Nephilim usually end up being outcast wherever they travel.

Mixed Bloodlines

Even though a Nephilim are a race of mixed blood between Aasimar and Tiefling, most still hold an appearance similar to humans. This does not mean that their celestial and infernal heritages have left them unmarked. Nephilim can take on any of the various features from their parents. Such as the solidly colored eyes or the horns of a Tiefling, though those horns are usually smaller than a Tiefling’s. They may even possess the golden eyes or pale skin of an Aasimar. However, these are only a few of the possible features that a Nephilim can be born with.

Nephilim Name

Nephilim names will vary, some may choose to use a naming system closer to the Aasimar or the Tiefling. This means that they may end up with a name native to where they are; otherwise they can end up with infernal or virtue names. Though it is not uncommon for a Nephilim to adopt a name of their choosing as they come of age as a sign of independence or rebellion from their heritages.
