Homebrew Fey'Ri Species Details

The Fey'Ri, also known as Demon Elves or Daemonfey, are to elves what tieflings are to humans. They are elves cursed with a demonic bloodline, whether this is due to a pact made generations ago or to a spiteful demon cursing an elf's birth. Oftentimes, a Fey'Ri can be born from a normal elven family, seemingly for no reason, and some can appear as normal elves for years, sometimes even into adulthood. However, their demonic blood will eventually rear its ugly face, and any who sees their demonic features will instantly know what they are. 

The Fey'Ri look elven in most ways, however, their demonic heritage manifests in many different ways, such as horns, tails, wings, extra arms, and unusual skin colors, from extremely pale, to odd colors such as purple or red. However, thanks to the magic granted to them by their demonic bloodline, Fey'Ri have the ability to mask their appearance, making themselves appear to others as normal elves allowing them to blend into society. It's rare to see a Fey'Ri in cities, as most will not openly walk around with their demonic features on display. 

Above all else, the Fey'Ri value freedom. This comes from both their elven heritage and the desire to escape the grasp of their demonic blood. Most Fey'Ri simply wish to live a normal life, with no one knowing of their curse. However, others embrace their demonic blood and wish to live free without persecution from others. To them, their demonic features are simply another part of who they are, not something to be hidden, and not something to feel shame from. These Fey'Ri usually band together to make their own towns and civilizations.
