Homebrew Darkin (Insipred by Aatrox from LOL) Species Details

Darkin are beings infused with demonic power who have been created and corrupted by the dark forces. They use that darkness to bring chaos and destruction. Any being that dies can become a Darkin given a Demon or Devil knows the procedure. Information on this race has been lost to time as after the war was over the Darkin were deemed to unpredictable and volatile even by the standards of the lower planes. If the procedure is not done correctly the Darkin can go insane or their soul could burn up and be destroyed so the practice was lost to time only known to a certain few.

Given the nature of their race Darkin resemble whatever form they used to have before undergoing the procedure however their skin is now a reddish purple like colour and various parts of their body have become demonic looking.
