Homebrew Exonerated Tiefling Species Details

Though their infernal ancestry doesn't affect their alignment in life, it does leave a mark on their soul giving them their fiery, devilish powers. As with all natural things, deformities and mutations can happen as which happened to the Exonerated Tieflings. their blazing, red soul instead bubbles an orange inferno. Hurting with fire physically pains this Tiefling variant which leaves them feeling broken and not knowing what to do with this burning desire deeply ingrained to their soul. Through pain and tribulation, they're are able to mutate their infernal powers to instead help and heal others, shunning their evil ancestry and proving that themselves, and other Tieflings, aren't these devils among men but just men. Maybe these mutations aren't just random defects to the Tiefling bloodline, but are proof of the evolving Tiefling will to be better than their evil ancestors.

Defected Bloodline

the Exonerated Tiefling aren't devolving back into human, they're doing the opposite; evolving. Through evolution their skin has changed to a more vibrant skin tone ranging from brilliant gold to dark bronze, with minor hints of color ranging all the way from green to black to crimson. Their eyes also become more humanoid in that they have a notable, cat-eye pupil with a brilliantly colored iris and sclera and an enveloping glow. Their hair can be any color imaginable and even multicolored. Their horns tend to grow curving upwards and curling into a horizontal circle giving them an angelic-halo appearance though they can also form buffalo antlers, dragon horns, and everything in between. They have typically sharp canine teeth hidden behind an atypical smile that's more difficult to remove than a dragon their temper. They still have thick tails, typically 4-5 feet long though it can be several tails together or just one large tail, which move like a dogs when they get excited, nervous, or upset.
