Homebrew Fey'ri Species Details

Rinn was never a normal girl. I knew that from a young age. She never seemed to get along with the other children, and she seemed to find some sick pleasure in hurting them. I tried my best to discourage it, but it almost seemed natural to her. But as she grew up, I stared to understand why she seemed so different from the rest of us. Her skin started to turn paler, almost stark white, and a pair of horns began to sprout from her forehead. She wasn't elven, she was Fey'ri. I should have known that the demon blood in my veins would eventually rear its ugly head. I should have know that this could happen. But now that I understand that Rinn is different, I can raise her better. Some of my friends brought up the idea of dropping her off at some orphanage or just leaving her in the streets. But I could never do that. No matter what, she is my daughter, and I will never abandon her. If the blood of demons will try to make her a monster, then I will just have to use my love to make her better. She cannot control how she
was born, but together, we can help guide her towards the right path, and see who she will become.

The Fey'ri, also known as Demon Elves of Daemonfey, are to elves what tieflings are to humans. They are elves cursed with a demonic bloodline, whether is be due to a pact made with an entity of the Abyss that their family made generations ago, or due to a spiteful demon cursing an elf's birth. Often times, a Fey'ri can be born from a normal elven family, seemingly for no reason, and some can appear as normal elves for years, sometimes even into adulthood. However, their demonic blood will eventually rear its ugly face, and any who see their demonic features will instantly know what they are.

Demonic Bloodline

The Fey'ri look elven in most ways, however their demonic heritage manifests in many different ways, such as horns, tails, wings, extra arms, and unusual skin colors, from extremely pale, to odd colors such as purple or red.

However, thanks to the magic granted to them by their demonic bloodline, Fey'ri have the ability to mask their appearance, making themselves appear to others as a normal elf, allowing them to blend into society. Its rare to see a Fey'ri in cities, as most will not openly walk around with their demonic features on display.

The Value of Freedom

Above all else, the Fey'ri value freedom. This comes from both their elven heritage, and the desire to escape the grasp of their demonic blood. Most Fey'ri simply wish to live a normal life, with no one knowing of their curse.

However, others embrace their demonic blood, and wish to live free without persecution from others. To them, their demonic features are simply another part of who they are, not something to be hidden, and not something to feel shame from. These Fey'ri usually band together to make their own towns and civilizations.

Fey'Ri Names

Due to being born to elven families, many Fey'ri simply have elven names. However, for those that were born to and raised by other Fey'ri, they use names that are a mix of elvish and abyssal, though most usually have a fake elven name that they use when speaking to those that do not know of their demonic heritage.

Subraces?

Unlike elves, a Fey'ri's mutation unlocks all their genetic possibilities and then mutates them, giving them several advantagous traits.

Fey'ri Traits

Your fey'ri character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of refinement.

Elven Mask

Fey'Ri are able to use their magic to hide their demonic features. As an action, you can change your appearance, appearing to others as a normal elf. You can change back to your normal form as an action.

Demonic Blessing

Your Demonic heritage gives you extra matter. Though you were not formed from the ichre, it flows within you, giving you the ability to switch between having wing, a barbed tail, and an extra set of arms. Switching takes a bonus action.

Barbed Tail. You have a long barbed tail, which you can use in combat. Your tail is a natural weapon, has a reach of 10 feet, and deals 1d4 + your Strength modifier damage on a hit. When you hit a creature with an attack of opportunity using your tail, their speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Extra Arms. You have a second pair of arms. These arms are not strong enough to wield weapons or shields, however they can be used in different ways. You can use these arms to grab and hold objects and perform somatic components for spells.

Demonic Wings. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to cause one or more pairs of demonic wings to sprout from your back. For the next minute, you gain a fly speed of 30 feet. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Forked Tongue

Your demonic ancestry makes your words and promises sound more reasonable. You gain proficiency with one of the following skills; deception, intimidation, or persuasion.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity, Intelligence, Charisma, and Constitution score increases by 1.

Age

Fey'Ri mature at the same rate as humans, reaching adulthood by age 20, though most aren't considered adults until they are 100. Due to their elven heritage, they can live for centuries, with many being able to live as long as 1000 years. Some have been known to live even longer though, having experimented with a mix of blood and abyssal ichre. 

Size

Similarly to elves, fey'ri range from around 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Thanks to both your elven and demonic heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Demonfey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Fey'ri don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Abyssal is harsh, with gutteral noises and growls. It is an angry language
