Demi-Archon

**Demi-Archons**, or **Divine Allogenes** are the species of the main six of The Gangsters. They are humans who can expel the same elemental capabilities as an Archon.

With both extreme ambitions from humans and the wrathful elemental power from Archons, Demi-Archons are Archon and Human hybrids, being (1/2 Human and 1/2 God.) Demi-Archons do not have a gnosis, but have Supervisions, which allows them to take full control and shape of their respected elements alongside the Archons.

Demi-Archons in terms of power are extremely strong and are second behind Archons. While they aren't as strong as a pure-blooded archon, they are much more valiant and dangerous from their extreme willpower and desire to become stronger. Due to not being pure-archon, they rely on Transformations due to their everlasting potential from their A-Cells. These transformations include Awoken and Bankai. However, two other states exist that Demi-Archons are able to withstand but are completely branched out from it's main transformation lines, which are Blood Vengeance and Infinite.

Demi-Archons exist due to the Seven wanting a protective force to destroy cataclysmic threats from dominating over Teyvat, which is The Gangsters'main purpose. They are largely considered by all gods as "**Combat deities**," as All Demi-Archons and their Supervisions are designed specifically for combat, as they have no role in governing Teyvat and it's regions.

## **Physiology**

### **Birth/Origin**

During the Archon Judgement period, Seven Demi-Archons would rise and serve Teyvat in their way. In Celestia, the seven are called to the divine land to bring forth a new age.

Wave is the first Demi-Archon in existence, being personally selected by Focalors, the current Hydro Archon, to become the God of Bladework and the Hydro Demi-Archon. The other six would follow months after.

How a Demi-Archon is born is when a human infant is selected by their respective Archon, they will channel and condense 98% of their elemental energy into a Supervision, and place it on the infants chest, which will then be absorbed. The infant is then placed into the Divinity Machine, which will exploit the Supervisions elemental power by granting the human god blood and physiology, transforming them into a Demi-Archon.

### **Physical Appearance**

Unlike the Gods before them who can change their form and vessels into anything they wish, a Demi-Archon stays strictly human, to an extent.

Demi-Archons can appear as any ethnic and have any hair and eye color. Everything concerning their appearance is strictly the same as a human, however their lifespan is extremely long, disabling them from dying of old age. They can still gain skin wrinkles and are vulnerable to sicknesses and diseases if they are not healthy, however.

### **Personality**

Most Demi-Archons see themselves as human first, god second. They put their morals, ethics and most of all, their humanity first in front of anything related outside of combat. Awoken and Bankai bring out their archon side much more, making them a lot more strict, cold and decisive.

## Supervision

**Supervisions** are empowered elemental visions which outmatch normal visions.

In terms of appearance, unlike it's normal counterpart, normal visions are small glowing gems that the user wears physically. However, this isn't the case with Supervisions as they are embedded and merged into the Demi-Archons themselves, but they can be extracted outside of them if they wish. Supervisions appear to be large cores, the size of a head, that expel unlimited amounts of elemental energy, making it highly dangerous if the user is incompatible with it as they could die, meaning they can't be absorbed or utilized if the person does not have archon blood, simply due to being overwhelmed.

A Supervision, when merged, is fused into their chest and does not become one with their physiology. It is stored spiritually.

Once the Supervision is extracted from a Demi-Archon, they lose all their elemental power and become almost like the average human without a vision. However, they still remain extremely physically strong. The longer a Demi-Archon goes without their Supervision, they will slowly lose their strength and near death.

A Demi-Archon does NOT lose their godhood or blood from having an extracted Supervision.

## A-Cells

**A-Cells**, also known as **Allogene-Cells**, are microscopic cells found in Demi-Archons, Quarter-Archons and Allogenes.

A-Cells depend on how much the user has used their vision. The more battle they've experienced, the greater of A-Cells. For Allogenes, more A-Cells from battle they've experienced will increase the strength of their elemental prowess. Demi-Archons are a different case with A-Cells, because their bodies already have a great amount of innate A-Cells from their Supervision and Archon blood. Massive amounts of A-Cells are also essential for a Demi-Archon to transform into Awoken and Bankai.

A-Cells do not exist in Archons, because they are pure elemental beings. A-Cells exist as a alternative for that pureness in a Human or Demi-Archons blood as a replacement.

## Quarter-Archons

Demi-Archons are able to interbreed with humans to procreate Quarter-Archons (3/4 Human & 1/4 Archon), a hybrid that inherits the Supervision's power innately into their blood, making them the vision itself and able to produce an endless supply of elemental energy. Quarter-Archons inherit the enhanced strength and prowess of a Demi-Archon, but lacks the drive to seek greater strength and the same upbringing as their Demi-Archon parent.

Also due to their diluted Archon blood, Quarter-Archons are unable to transform into Awoken and Bankai. The reason for this is due to their A-Cells acting like a pure-blooded Archon, due to their blood being pure elemental energy.

All 4 Quarter-Archons (Ajuro, Yui, Kyojiro and Haku) also come from a Allogene parent, which is the reason why their elemental energy is as strong as their Demi-Archon parent. Their elemental energy does not come from a power source like a vision or supervision due to being born with the most A-Cells out of the three categories.

If a Demi-Archon does interbreed with a human who isn't an Allogene, the resulting Quarter-Archon will still have their innate elemental energy but does not have the same potential and prowess as a Demi-Archon. Their A-Cells would have the least amount out of the categories.

## Trivia

-Demi-Archons will stop physically aging at 25. Their lifespan is endless, meaning they do not die of old age and can only die to injury or disease.

-Any Demi-Archon whose human name is named with the initial E in their names will inherit the Will of E, gaining special and specific characteristics specific to their personalities and living styles.

-A Demi-Archons personality and morals are human-sided as their emotions tend to be more inclined towards being light-heartedness and less formal. Unlike the ruthlessness and stoic natures of some Archons, Demi-Archons do not carry those traits outside of battles.

-Demi-Archons need to maintain their metabolism because their nutrients is converted into elemental energy. This means they need to consume 5 times the amount of food a normal human or allogene eats. Josh, Joe, Sofia and Noodles are more composed and controlled to their portions, while Jack, Gabe and Ahad have the biggest appetites and get the most ravenous from the Will of E.

-Demi-Archons are bestowed by their primary Archon bestower of their element. (Ex. Atlas' primary bestower is Morax.)

-8 Demi-Archons have existed throughout the entire series. (Jack, Josh, Gabe, Ahad, Joe, Vaibhav, Israel and Sofia.)
