Here's something we came up with and don't know how to deal with.
A half-elf/half-celestial (eladrin maybe)
A half-human/half-fiend (devil maybe)
If these two somehow got together and got themselves a kid that turns out to be a 1/4 human, 1/4 elf, 1/4 celestial and 1/4 fiend, how would the child's racial traits turn out? Would the celestial and fiendish blood negate each other in some areas? How would others react? |

Thanks for the replies 
It does sound fun though when 'creating' people so screwed up in bloodlines. Like the half-goblin/half-kobold army idea which lasted as long as it wasn't going to be used. |

Yeah--decide whether or not it's tiefling or aasimar by flipping a coin. At least, that's my idea. Although, personally I think the topic example is the result of "breeding overkill". Your character doesn't need a unique/bizarre heritage to be interesting. Besides, it's not like the character arranged their own birth, so in a way it wouldn't be anything for them to be proud of. |

My favorite character was a half-slug.
(More On Topic now..)
I'd say an Aasimar or Tiefling, as well. |

It states in Savage Species, that you can add multiple templates. When adding two halves you get quarters.
So your character might be a Half-elf base (Human + Elf = Half-elf) with a quarter-Fiend (Half-fiend) template plus a quarter-Celestial (Half-celestial) template. The only glitch is that to become a half Fiend/Celestial, the template character must have a certain alignment. But it is also in the rules to break the rules if needed.
WotC has an episode in in Elite Opponents that has Vampire Demons, Half-golem Warforged and a half-fiend Astral Devas as possible monsters. So it is possible to have a screwy character, if you can manage it. |

That's right.
In fact, I'm pretty sure one of the older PSMCs mentioned this.

hmm ... how is the blood divided at a half-elf/half-celestial/Fiend anyways?
1/4 elf 1/4 human 1/2 Celestial/fiend? (which practicly makes it a Celestial/Fiend since its the major part) |

Well I'd imagine it would go one of two ways.
1. Like you say the celestial/fiendish cancel out and there is no more powerful effect
2. The stronger bloodline would dominate, and effectively the character would have only a celestial or fiendish bloodline
A half-celestial (and half-fiendish) as I understand it are direct products of a full blooded celestial(/fiend) and so I don't believe a half-celestial can be created by a half-celestial and something else.
