Homebrew Armourkin Tiefling Species Details

 

"The iron army emerged from the ocean. Their bodies were hard as steel, their limbs mighty as war hammers. They attacked swift and mighty as a thunderbolt, and left twice as quick."  -Anonymous, The Three Realms Crisis

Elder Bloodline

Armourkin come from a branch bloodline of Tieflings who long ago devoted themselves to the deep gods. As a result, their bodies have been changed and cursed. They're unable to digest non-metal, as their evolution in the metallic deep has rendered them dependent on minerals to survive. They're adept at utilising the metals they consume in their bodies, obtaining high levels of physical strength and fortitude. They're also very agile in water, as on top of being able to waterbreathe, they can move through water as well as they can on land, and can see in water as though it were air.

Lone Soldiers 

Armourkin struggle to find companionship amongst other races, and are very rarely, if ever, found away from their home world of the Blue Inferno. As they're feared and hated, they're very slow to trust others, as much as others are slow to trust them.

Tiefling Names

Tiefling names fall into three broad categories. Tieflings born into another culture typically have names reflective of that culture. Some have names derived from the Infernal language, passed down through generations, that reflect their fiendish heritage. And some younger tieflings, striving to find a place in the world, adopt a name that signifies a virtue or other concept and then try to embody that concept. For some, the chosen name is a noble quest. For others, it’s a grim destiny.
