Homebrew Forsaken Tiefling Species Details

You are one who walks now in an eternal limbo, walking the razors edge of living and dead, damned and redeemed. Your shattered soul, broken and hemorrhaging your power and connection to the hell's and its ruler replaced by an icy chill of undeath. your body never tires, never sleeps, never rests, always craving more and something beyond your reach... what dark god or eldritch entity could have spawned such a monster... will you be the first to discover it, or will you walk these realms until your hemorrhaging soul burns out?
