Reserved for Cade, lower-planes-descended Aasimar monk.

Background/history soon as well as character sheet
So you're going to use the Tiefling stats? To open up the Fiend feats? I think that's exactly what I'd do with a Tome monk. If you wanted to use Aasimar stats, that's fine also. If you read the fluff for the Tome version, it says that they can be descended from "beautiful" creatures from the lower planes, also. The main difference between them and the tiefling is that the latter's ancestors were "ugly".
There is also the thing about there being no upper plane equivalent to the Fiend feats, which is probably because they never got around to it before they quit cranking out sourcebooks. So if you guys want to change the fluff on things like that, that's more than ok. It's almost required to turn this into a complete ruleset.
Actually I was hoping to use the Aasimar stats and the tome flavoring for a succubus or other demon-spawn ancestry, thus "lower-planes-descended Aasimar." The stat boosts work better for what I hope to accomplish. Also, I plan on dipping at least one level of True Fiend, probably only up to 3 at max to take the most advantage of the tome Monk class.
Cade, Aasimar Monk
"Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb, and if there is a wall, we'll knock it down!"
Cade was abandoned by his Tanar'ri parent, and was found on the doorstep of a young Human couple. He was a normal enough child, but as he grew it rapidly became clear what he was. First it was apparent that he was unnaturally attractive; Then his skin darkened to a ruddy hue; Then, as his parents began growing older, he simply didn't. His parents became distant, fearing that the son that they took in was a tiefling or other foul fiend; and then one day his father took him from their home early one morning. Long story short, Cade was sold into slavery while his parents told their friends that he had been kidnapped, killed, who knows. The young Cade managed to escape after a time, having honed his strength and combat abilities and his determination. Rather than return home where he knew he would only face further persecution, Cade went "off the grid," surviving through apt application of charm and grace, talents which seemed to come naturally to him. Eventually, he was taken in by a charitable monastery. These were no simple monks, however. They specialized in infiltration, assassination, and other gray-areas, making Cade's initiation particularly appropriate. Over these many years, Cade's sheer determination and iron will kept him going, and this fact leads him to believe that through conviction, courae, and a little luck, one can achieve just about anything.
Background-
Monastic Training:
You have undergone intense training under the steady tutelage of an order of monks. They grilled you every day, but you persevered, and you are better for it. You'll still probably carry the scars for the rest of your life, though.
Benefit: Choose one skill as a bonus class skill. You gain a +2 bonus to this skill. You also gain one bonus language of your choice, which does not need to be one of your racially-derived bonus languages. While you likely learned at least some combat ability from your masters, they also made damn sure to teach you several other skills which would help make sure you wouldn't need to resort to combat in the first place.
---------------------------------
I was going to do two skills, but going with just one seemed less like going overboard.
Alternatively, I could go with:
Fiend-tongued:
You are the descendant of one of the more devious, socially-keyed members of the fiendish races. You have inherited their silver tongue, which most likely has gotten you out of, and into, plenty of trouble.
Benefit: Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate are class skills for you, no matter what classes you take. You gain a +2 bonus to one of these, your choice at character creation. When using this skill against a member of the opposite gender, the bonus improves to +4.

Any thoughts, anyone? Would anyone already know Cade?
