Hey there.

I'm currently DM'ing a small part in a rather ambitious, but interesting, campaign in DnD.

I have control of an island and am in charge of the big bad, or in this case, big bads.

They're twins. One is good, one is evil. However, to make things simple, both are evil. Their good selves are elsewhere for the main DM to figure out how to incorporate.

I need to stat up these twins. The characters they are based on are basically an Angel and a Demon. Both women. One has angel wings, one has demon wings.

So I thought the easiest way to stat them would be to use Tiefling and Aasimar stats, or at least as close as I could get, and just give them wings to give the same appearance.

I simply don't know what book in 2nd edition I could find them. I'd appreciate the help in being told what book they are in.

Also, if you don't think that the Aasimar and Tiefling would fit, I'd also appreciate some kind of direction towards characters or monsters that would fit better as well as what book and where to find them. Thanks.

Tieflings are originally from the Planescape Campaign setting. (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17267/Planescape-Campaign-Setting-2e?affiliate_id=315505)

Not sure about the origin of the Aasimar, but there's 2e material in Warriors of Heaven (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17387/Warriors-of-Heaven-2e?affiliate_id=315505).

The original Aasimar originally appeared in, I believe, the 2nd Planescape Monstrous Compendium.

It also appeared in the Planewalker's Handbook along with the Genasi I think.

For generic 2E:
Guide to Hell has Devilkin, half-baatezu.
Warriors of Heaven has Aasimar, mortal celestials (that's new to me, and different than the normal treatment; I've never looked at that before)

For Planescape 2E:
The Planewalkers Handbook, Aasimar and Tiefling
Planescape Monstrous Compendium 1, Tiefling
Planescape Monstrous Compendium 2, Aasimar
