Homebrew Daemon Borne Species Details

Daemon Borne are the result of the union of humans and Demons. Demons are creatures that entertain themselves by making deals with mortals or even just straight up messing around with the lives of particular mortals by impersonating them, often times these deals or impersonations would result in the mating of the demon with a mortal woman creating the Daemon Borne. 

Infernal Bloodline

 Daemon Borne can have any number of horns depending on their bloodline that can take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle’s, and some spiral upward like an antelopes’ horns. They can have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes can have designs similar to that of reptiles or can be any solid colour. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of all colours. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple.

Self-Reliant and Suspicious

Cast out by their mortal mothers Daemon Borne quickly learn how to survive on their own. They don't often try and form connections with others as they are generally used as an example of giving over to your darker desires. They never give their trust lightly and if you earn it you have a protector for generations in your family until someone crosses them or they die on their own.  

 

Mistrust, Distaste 

The mistrust that is generally given to tieflings is given tenfold to Daemon Borne along with a distaste for their kind given to the fact of their unconventional birth. Daemon Borne are often pushed to be just like their demonic parent because of this, very few have been able to battle back against their demonic natures.
