Homebrew Ylvran Species Details

Ylvran are demons of the underground who were birthed merely to serve royalty and elite in hell; however, they were freed from this lifestyle and given the blessing of their hero --a guardian --to protect them from harm in the world. Their guardians, known as Confirans, are bonded with the user, often having their minds connected and see beside them or around the area the user is in. Despite their change in nature, many tend to be warded off by other species who despise demons, especially holy knights and priests.

Lesser Demons

---

Ylvran are known to be the lesser demons of hell. They were created merely to serve as butlers, servants, and other labor-like job for royalty or the elite demons and generals. They can be easily recognized, especially by their short height and various designs that look similar to many horned animals and beasts. Ylvrans have large horns that measure up to 1 to 2 feet and look similar to animal horns. They have fennec-like ears that droop down. They have a tail that measures up to two feet that droops when upset or nervous. Their skin has a slightly rough surface and skintones that vary in colors of red, purple, and blue, the top of their ears and forehead having a darker tone as well as a darker shade of fawn-like spots. Their iris is commonly shown to have warm colors, silver, and lime green along with the sclera commonly being yellow or completely black. They have shark like teeth and their hair are usually dark colors such as dark purple or brown; hair merging with the skin and having the same pigmentation as the skintone is also common among Ylvrans. They also possess a unique symbol on their body that is the same one that's on their Confiran.

Adapting to The World Above

---

 Due to living in the infernal plane known as Hell, when they were fist introduced to the world above, it was greatly troubling for them; they had trouble adapting to the light of the sun and how there were a variety of plants and such that didn't appear back in hell. They especially had the most trouble fitting in with other races, usually fearing that they will be attacked by those races. For a while, however, they began adapting quite nicely; their senses against light improved, they have learned new languages, and have created their own culture that revolves around the hero who had saved them from captivity.

Despite their fear of others and of the world around them, their nature is commonly that of mischevious and wanting to cause trouble. Like many other demons, they find some amusement in the suffering of others. They still have much to understand about the world above, and sometimes are left to be clueless of certain things.

A Demon's Guardian

---

Their Guardian, known as Confirans, were given by their mighty hero who took down Abassel. Confirans come in many shapes and forms, often taking the shape that revolves around a proficiency they may be good at as well as the Ylvran's alliance. They appear otherworldly, varying from looking humanoid to looking monstrous. They glow entirely of one or a pallete of colors. They are usually close to their users unless they were seperated in some way. If this is to happen, both the Ylvran and the Confiran must find eachother in some way. Sleeping or meditating is a way of connecting the two easily (If they have a good bond). Think about why your guardian protects that Ylvran and how they obtained them. Was it a pass on? Did they return their guardian back from a artifact? Do they protect them from the wild or from corruption?

 Ylvran Names

---

Older Ylvrans mostly have names that are very close to their demonic heritage. Younger Ylvrans may also be named with these if theu want to keep their tradition of naming their children names of Hell. Examples are Ignis, Fulgo, Ghen, Capio, Sino, Fero, Ege, Gredior, etc.

Young Ylvrans, due to them being born after the fall of Abassel, they may be given more humane names that may hide their demonic heritage. Most of these names tend to come out of other races or have the same format as other races' names. Examples are Adda, Alabus, Bermus, Dermin, Halgo, Herum, Filo, Vera, etc.
