Aefling

Aeflings are a seemingly impossible creation, bearing both Celestial and Infernal blood. The birth of these supernatural hybrids is exceptionally uncommon and taboo. As with most half-bloods, Aeflings endure hate from Celestials and Infernals alike. Their unique blood garners them unusual abilities beyond that of most mortals. As such, Aeflings are among the most dangerous creatures one could face. Typically, Aeflings keep to themselves, although a few admirable exceptions become adventurers. Those that follow this path are likely to become noteworthy heroes/villains. The duality of an Aefling's bloodline is astoundingly useful in combat and when researching the occult. The Aefling race is a compelling choice for players looking to play something similar to Half-Elves.

Physical Description

Aeflings are usually a grotesque mix between an angel and a lesser devil, normally an imp or bone devil.
