Years ago, on an NWN1 server, my character had a PC female imp as their familiar. I think it was a custom Brownie race with some wings and a tail tacked on. But anyways, I really liked that concept and thought I'd try something like that in NWN2! Although I really dislike the NWN2 imp model because it doesn't change depending on what you're wearing!
So, two questions!
A) Would such a thing be allowed?
There's nothing in the lore that says such a thing exists, as far as I know!
B) How would one make it work?
Basically, it needs some way to achieve a small stature while gaining wings and a tail. My first idea is making a half-fiend wizard with persistent Reduce Person. You get the wings and tail for free, and it only takes a bit of leveling to get the spell. But then you're still only hin-sized, I think!
Is there a way to get a halfling with Reduce Person with both wings and a tail? To achieve that itty-bitty look!
Making A Female Imp!

You could create a character via the normal character creation screen while running the build module with modified overrides of the racialsubtypes.2da, appearance.2da and ig_chargen_appearance.xml files that would switch the appearance of the imp selection with that of a mini halfling with wings and a tail, then have a dev copy the character you create into the live server.
You'd have to get the devs to agree to it, but I can make up some override files for you if they're okay with it. That seems like the safest way to do it anyways.

Imps don't look like cute red winged halflings. They look like imps.
And no, we don't want to open the can of worms that would result from allowing one player to go with a completely custom appearance. "My erinyes wants bat wings! Why can't my elf have a tail? I want to play a halfling with the Balor model!"
We currently have more than double the possible races and appearances of any other server, and the list continues to grow... So we're not going to move beyond that.

Well, Ceremorph quite clearly answered both my questions. :D
