Cambions

Demons (aunts/uncles/fathers/mothers)

*"With Lucifer risen, the cambions grow strong. Soon, he will do more than just make a few toys come to life - something that will draw the demons to him. The demons will find these children. Lucifer will twist them to his purpose. And then, with a word, this child will destroy the Host of Heaven."*

Cambions are the crossbred of offspring of a human and a Demon. They are considered the inherent counterparts of a Nephilim.

A half-demon is a being who was part human and part demon, usually the child of a demon and a human. Although not all the parents of cambions are known, most seem to result from the pairing of a male demon and a female human.

Even though some demons had a tendency to impregnate humans with their spawn or create new demons by infecting humans, the offspring wouldn't count as half-demons but rather as the species of their demonic parent since these were simply cases of parasitism.

Many known cambions look like humans, and either have no characteristics of their demonic relatives or can change between human and demon forms. Some of them, however, do not look entirely human. They usually have thin and vertical eyes and sharper ears than humans.

While many cambions decide to do good, there are also some that are as evil as any pure demon. However, it is unclear whether their demonic origin predisposed them to evil, because most evil acting half-demons actually had human motives.

## **Creation**

The Cambion is a stillborn that shows no sign of life outside of being alive, meaning that the child has no pulse and no breath. This continues until the child is about seven years old, where it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate one from a human. A Cambion is usually devilishly cunning, and angelically beautiful, able to persuade even the most strong-hearted individual to do his or her bidding. Most Cambions have evil tendencies due to their demon parents. Due to its inability to create or nurture life, the method of the creation of a Cambion is necessarily protracted. A maternal demon will have sexual relations with a human male and by doing so acquire a sample of his semen. This she will then pass on to a paternal demon. The father will, in his turn, transfer the semen to a human female and thus impregnate her.

To create a cambion a demon must extract the semen from himself, and then transfers the semen to a sleeping woman, who becomes pregnant. In the process the demonic aspects of the demon type and human will produce a hybrid.

The cambion child is typically sickly and bad-behaved, and often times malformed in some manner. According to traditional beliefs cambions tended to live shortened lives, but can actually live forever until killed like the Nephilim.

## **Society**

Cambions are not numerous enough to form a separate society, so almost all of them either ally themselves with humans or with demons, depending on which species they feel they belong to.

## **Physical Appearance**

All Cambions are almost supernaturally attractive, taking after their infernal parent. However, at birth, most Cambions show no signs of life (having no pulse, and not requiring to breathe). After the age of seven, they seem more human. They can change the color of their eyes into reddish-orange pupils. They also have leathery wings with horns on them. They even have sharp fangs like vampires, which are smaller than vamps.
