Homebrew Equinar Species Details

Aasimar are descendants of celestials, while Tieflings are descendants of fiends. It is extremely rare that either of these two races will create offspring with each other. However, it is still a possibility, and an Equinar is a resulting offspring.

Equinars are born with traits from both sides. They may have no horns or very small ones. They do not have tails but may have slightly sharp teeth like Tieflings. Their skin tones encompass the normal human range, but sometimes bear the red hue of some Tieflings or the deep purple of some Aasimar. They have normal looking eyes, except that the color of the iris is usually very noticeable, bright, and uncommon. Their hair color varies sharply from extremely light to extremely dark. An Equinar is normally given an angelic name or an intfernal name.

Equinars are born without enough traits of both to gain their resistances, but they are born with the ability to wield uncommon levels of power

Often times, an Equinar is abandoned by its Tiefling and Aasimar parents or looked down upon by siblings or peers. Being such, an Equinar usually feels odd and unable to fit in with Tieflings or Aasimars, so they usually try to pass as humans and thus obtain their morals and values instead. In very rare cases, the Aasimar's celestial guide may offer to guide the Equinar if the Aasimar parent is dead or has given up on their holy task.
