Fiend
You originated from the Nine Hells and as such your creature type is both fiend and humanoid. When you die on the Material Plane you return to athe Nine Hells, where your essence remains trapped until your body reforms — a process that can take months, years, or even centuries. When you are reborn, your body reforms in The Nine Hells and you have all the memories and knowledge of your former life. Like devils, rakshasa killed in the Nine Hells are forever destroyed.
