Homebrew Ayartan Species Details
Dashingly beautiful, many Ayartan feels compelled to mischief and seduction. An Ayartan is a humanoid with bat-like wings and claw-like nails. They are born on the rare occasion when a succubus or incubus actually gets seduced by and falls in true love with a mortal humanoid, who must love them back in the same manner. In that case, if an impregnation happens, the resulting newborn is neither a Tiefling nor a cambion. It will resemble a succubus/incubus but with less fiendish features and a mortal life span. Some traits of their otherworldly heritage are very much obvious however; Ayartan possess bat-like wings, red or purple eyes, claws and dazzling attractiveness.
Despite its inherently evil parent, an Ayartan is the embodiment of unconditional love and eternal passion. Some say, an Ayartan will somehow 'see' whether or not they have found a true lover. Many Tieflings hate Ayartan, because they are more widely accepted into society, even though they descended from fiendish ancestors as well. It may be this way because of the less devilish and less aggressive looks of the Ayartan, their inherent empathetic and passionate attitude towards other people and probably because of their innate charm. Many people don't know however, that Ayartan can somewhat shapeshift into other humanoids that look similar to them. Some Ayartan use this ability for mischievous activities like vandalization of public property, or stealing an apple or a piece of bread, some even become spies and assassins, but those are extremely rare examples.
