Homebrew Falucin Species Details

Physical Description

The falucins (fal•o͞o•sins) are a lesser race of fiends. They have the general appearance of muscular humans save for the addition of four extra arms and luminescent tattoos covering their bodies. They prefer to wear their hair short, which ranges in color on the lighter spectrum, and all falucins possess piercing yellow or gold eyes. 

History

When a lonely, young, dragon god was cast from the high Heavens, he made his new home in the the Abyssal depths of Urei, and though he had for himself a kingdom and loyal servants, he longed for the light that had been lost to him. So, using a sliver of the aetherial magic that still lingered within him and merging it with the dark of the abyss that now saturated his black blood, he birthed beings with a celestial visage, but who's true nature was rooted in the darkness of Urei. Thus, the first falusins were born, false vestiges of aetherial light meant to guide and serve a lonely lord.

Society

Though they are lesser fiends, most falucins are held in high regard, serving as advisers, spiritual guides, and dexterous martial fighters that uphold the faith in the Netherworld. Many of the oldest falucins advise the Netherworld King himself. All falucins have an inherent wisdom that propels them to the high of Netherworld society. It is rare to find any powerful fiend of worth without a falucin adviser. This wisdom is paired with their superior agility and dexterity that is nearly unmatched by any other fiend of the lesser caste as falucins are trained to be masters of unarmed combat.

The few noble falucins are easily denoted by their opulent regalia, jewelry, and piercings which serve as a symbols of status and are usually blessed with enchantments of speed, making their ferocious fist attacks even more deadly.
