I have a PDF of the Player's Handbook, which I will e-mail to you if you don't have a copy, you don't need to memorize it or anything, but it would help to have it handy for this game.If you want to play another race,then No level adjustments above +1.If you give me a good reason to play a race that's not +1 level adjustment I might let you. If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

"I will die without you. I have never been with you in the first place. From the beginingq you have treated me as an outcast, made me indifferent and made me and enemy even though i have done nothing to you. Maybe i should let neri die and you will but and ounce of what i have to go through every day of my life. Anger, sadness, frustration, isolation and loneliness.So, i ask again why should i help you"
"All of my life I was an outcast. My own father had me exiled. I found my uncle and his family rotting in the sun. I was captured and tortured by orcs within a hair from death. I have been attacked and persued for who I am. Neri is the only good thing to ever happen to me. She is the only thing keeping me from being as sad and lonely as you. Would you really take that from another man?do you enjoy the life you lead? Would you really force that life back on me?"
"Elf i wish had a family to begin with the only thing i had to a father was killed by a plant but you havent lived and entire life of where you have no one to call friend where people constantly judge you and assume they know everything about you when in fact they know nothing aabout you. I wish i had anyone to call a friend but mord you had a family and you have someone. Dont compare your life to mine because you have no idea what i have endured"
"So, you're going to kill someone that is probably not far off from the term 'friend', treats you the exact opposite of the way your life has been, and also intentionally send a man down a similar road to yours? You have a chance to show a good side to you, yet you let your past hinder the present and possibly the future.... I really can not say I have lived a life in any way similar to yours, but I can't think of a reason you would put someone else through that when given the opportunity."
"I was exiled as a child. All I know of my family is that I hated my father and my mother couldn't care less for me. I had no family. Your family was taken from you and I am sorry for that, but my family rejected me. I crossed a continent before I had a beard just to find the only people I claimed as family slaughtered and being eaten by the birds."
Actually knowing Tiefling society he probably was either used or rejected by his family, as they themselves most likely were. Don't forget Tieflings are a very cynical and pessimistic race with just a touch of nihilism.
