## Pop Culture

Nephilim has a similar conception to the Demigods of various mythologies. They are the result of an angel and a mortal woman/man. So they have the same abilities as an angel. Characters that are Nephilims includes Basara Toujou, Akeno Himejima, Emi Yusa and John to name a few.

## Variations

### Angel Yokai

Nephilim are half-angel and has the same abilities as one. Some may have an angel soul that can be passed from their angel parent.

## Life in the Hidden World

Nephilim Yokai are able to live in both the Hidden World and the Surface World because they look like any other human. Thus they won't stand out from the other normal humans. As partially mortal, they are more bound to their form than their non-mortal parent, but their personalities and minds are far less defined by their spiritual aspect. In some forms of media, Nephilim Yokai are shown to be equal or higher in power than full members of the supernatural race they descended from. This is generally explained with the claim that the human soul enhances the spiritual/divine power gained from their "parent". Combination of mortal and physical with immortal and immaterial is highly unpredictable, and someone with heritage from both sides can lean on either side of their ancestry. Because of this, Nephilim Yokai are separated into three broad groups:

1. Near-Mortal Nephilim Yokai favor their mortal parents or are more distant descendants. They are mostly similar to their mortal kind in both mind and body, but with some additional abilities and instincts. Outwardly, there are few or no indication that the individual is anything but normal.
2. Balanced Nephilim Yokai are balanced between their heritages, if sometimes rather precariously, and have both free will and good amount of power. There are likely number of definite traits and instincts that draw them toward their inhuman side. Physically, they tend to have at least few indications about their non-mortal parentage, but the amount varies greatly between individuals.
3. Near-Angelic Nephilim Yokai favor their immortal parentage or have only a minor amount of mortal blood. Physically and mentally, they are close to their immortal parentage, although able to resist their instinctual traits better than their parent.

## Symbolism

The Symbol of the Nephilim is the Caduceus of Hermes. The God of commerce, the arts, magic, and modern commercial medicine was named Hermes. Hermes which is a pole (rod or staff) with two serpents, or more appropriately, worms intertwined, and that reunite forming an arch at the top.
