Homebrew Faustian Devil Species Details

Disclaimer: This is a very powerful Homebrew Race. Consult your DM if you are considering it for a character.

Throughout the Nine Hells there are a great many types of Devils. These beings all have their own goals, asperations and whims. These individual Devils might seek power or pleasure, but they all have one thing in common for the most part. They are slaves unto a greater evil that reigns above them.

Faustian Devil can be misleading. See you are not so much a "True Devil" As you are a Bastardiztion of one. As a Faustian Devil you have come to exist in one of two ways. You are either the carnal revenant of a corrupted soul damned to hell trying to prove yourself to your spiteful slave master before you find yourself condemned to unending eternal torture, or the direct result of a True Devil actually falling in love with a mortal and conceiving a child with them. This is no trivial act though. It must be actual and true love that transcends the heavens and hells and the mortal realm.

Faustian Devils look like horrific fiends from hell when they are born. They very quickly learn to utilize their human visage to better fit into society. They are between 5 and 6 and feet tall and are of average build but usually physically attractive when in human form. As they age they begin to hear a voice. This is their Master calling to them. Eventually this voice will become so loud and uncomfortable to the Faustian they they will have no choice but to follow its commands. Once they accept their fate this will subside and for all intents and purposes they will fully regain their free will as long as it doesn't directly conflict with the Masters endgame plans.

Faustian Devils are usually Lawful Evil, but this is not mandatory.

You are unendingly bound to your master. Whether that be a maleficent ArchDevil who despises every moment of your exitance or a loving parent who dotes on you and placates your every whim and whine. Nothing can sever your servitude. Even in death you will serve until until the end of time its self.
