Homebrew Aleiri Species Details
"You do not belong on this plane, nor any other."
"Abomination."
"Half-breed monster!"
These words are often thrown at the seductive Aleirix, though they shrug them off with little difficulty. Very similar in appearance to Tieflings, though arguably much more beautiful in appearance, Aleirix are the product of an Incubus and Erinyes' mating. Many are born with wings, and while the occasional infant's wings are feathered, most are leathery, like many other demons'. Those that aren't born with wings, however, almost always develop the gift of telepathy as they age. Though the cause is uncertain, most assume that these wing-less devils take more after their fathers than mothers.
Aleirix are proud, and while very aware of their physical appearances, aren't typically vain - though that doesn't mean they won't use their looks to their advantage. They can be very stealthy, and as such, make good rogues. Others have a natural affinity for the arcane, taking up the mantle of sorcerers or wizards. Very rarely, a Maeldora'an will find they appreciate the beauty of the Material Plane far more than that of the Nine Hells. In this, they find themselves forging a connection to nature, becoming talented druids.
