Homebrew Archon Species Details
Archons are children of the Demon Gods, such as Asmodeus. They're cousins to the Tieflings, having a similar lineage and typically stronger in the physical aspect. They start as your average, every day Tiefling (can start as an Archon as long as it's written in the backstory), but as soon as certain requirements are met, they unleash their true form. Looking more savage in nature, their true form only awakens when they've either gone through enough suffering or they learn their true name. Most of the time, it's the latter.

Trance
As the children of Demonic God's, the Archons do not need 8 hours of sleep. Instead, they can meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.
