Deun

Though rare, the union between gods and mortals has been known to happen. Often these are chance encounters and yield nothing but a single night of passion and a story that none of the mortal's associates will ever truly believe. However, every now and then these unions will yield a child. These children, half God and half mortal, are referred to among the mortal races as Deun.

Divine Heritage:

Deun get most of their physical characteristics from their mortal parent and in many cases could easily pass as a mortal race. However, some physical traits still pass on from the parent god to their Deun Offspring. For example, a Deun child of an Ocean god may have skin colored scales in place of their actual skin or coral growing out of their body in some spots. Work with your Dungeon Master to determine what physical traits your Deun would have.
