Hellion (5e Race)

Hellion

Varied Infernal Ancestry

Hellion are often described to be like tieflings. However, hellion retain a less prominent presence and their features are less pronounced. Sometimes it is very hard to tell them from a human because of the dilution of their blood. Hellion have sharper than normal canines. Unlike conspicuous tieflings, they usually have the skin tone of humans, or some means to disguise themselves well enough. When angry hellion tend to have glowing eyes and fiery runes can form on the skin.

Removed Infernal Descendants

They come about their power in different ways. Some make a pact with a demon while some are the product of a demon and human having a child and others are from possession. Their blood was too weak to overcome the human blood and so hellion resulted in having a more human appearance. However, they retained their demonic affinities for magic for the most part.

Less Visible

Hellion often live within other human societies. However, their more human appearance makes them capable of living in the normal echelons of society. Their interactions with the tieflings are usually very nonchalant. Some take advantage of their status derived from an obscured nature to act as humans might. Hellion sometimes believe themselves luckier than tieflings, but feel a kindred connection with them.

Nonchalant Aloofness

Hellion are known for not being very committed to anything. Some hellion still retain their parent and will guard them fiercely. Hellion can recognize one another with relative ease due to the auras they project. They are very clingy with those whom they like or consider friends. A hellion will protect their family and friends to the death. Those who remain solitary are usually chaotic and do everything they wish with little regard for others. Retaining a bit of their devilish ancestry, they can be extremely crafty and vindictive.
