Homebrew Arasinji Species Details

 

Infernal Bloodline

Arasinji are derived from human two bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they look only a little bit human. However, their infernal and celestial heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Arasinji have black or blonde hair that curls around their forehead. their eyes are flowing.colors—aquamarine, opalescent, pale silver, or gold. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include shades of silver or red.

Self-Reliant 

Lacking a homeland, Arasinji know that they have to make their own way in the world of mount celestia or the nine hells. But when a Arasinji’s companions demonstrate that they trust him or her, the Arasinji learns to extend the same trust to them. And once a Arasinji gives someone loyalty, the Arasinji is a firm friend or ally for life.
