 * Contrary to popular belief, Tieflings are not an evil plague on the land sent to punish Humanity. Tieflings come from the union between a Human and either a Demon or a Devil (an important distinction). Although they share some physical traits (such as reddish skin tones, horns, and tails), most Tieflings are similar to Humans in other regards. They do not often tend towards evil, instead seeking to prove society wrong, although some do act in accordance with the stereotype. Although many Humans are prejudiced towards them, they are nonetheless found most often in Human cities, where they are able to find work as mages or other professions where racial prejudices are not entertained.


 * Tieflings, like many of the other half-races of Orrin, often find themselves in communities of other half-races, where everyone is sympathetic of each other's situation. Although they are wary of the treatment they face from Humans, Tieflings learn to live with the prejudice while continuing to stick to their values, which has gained the respect of many of the other intelligent races of Orrin.


 * Tieflings make interesting companions who are just as ambitious as any other Human, often possessing even more drive to succeed despite expectations.
