Cambions

Cambions are the combination of Human, and Demon. They are a race that is highly ridiculed as being dirty, and insane. Dirty is not actually a word that usually describes them, despite the claims of many Shadowhunters and others who dislike Cambions. Many Cambions are, however, rather insane. There are many different theories as to why this is.

Unstable blood from their demonic parents. This could be. A claim made by Cambions themselves, is that society is to blame. Individuals being subjected to abuse and neglect go insane. This could also be true. The last main one is that they are simply evil and their only purpose on this earth is to destroy, and thus must be destroyed on sight... pretty sure that's just propaganda by Purist movements. For whatever reason, Cambions do tend to be rather insane, and cause alot of destruction.

Cambions share many traits with Shadow Demons. They can use Hellfire, and Shadowstep. They are physically stronger than Humans. They also have demonic signatures, which can be traced the same as any other.

As a species, Cambions have no real organization, a huge difference from their natural rivals, the Nephilim, who as a species are a part of the Shadowhunter organization. Cambions tend to live either alone, or in small groups.

Cambions never meet their demonic parent, living only with their Human parent (assuming they have one). They often find out once their powers begin to manifest, that they have a demonic parent. However, it is actually not unusual for rank E Cambions to live their entire lives without even realizing that they are more than Human. They can get away with this, because at that rank, their demonic signature is so little as to be almost non-existent.

Lifespan - 80 to 100 years

Due to their demonic blood, Cambions live a bit longer than Humans. Though, it is rather rare for them to die of old age, due to the hate that many have for them.

Size - 4.5 to 6.5 feet

Share the same dimensions as Humans, with those in the extremes of shortness and tallness being rarer.

Diet - Omnivorous

Unlike their demonic parents, Cambions do not consume souls. They actually have the same versatile diets as Humans, being able to eat a burger as well as an apple.

Strengths

Cambions have the ability to use Hellfire, one of the two most dangerous magical fires, and Shadowstep, allowing them to be very versatile combatants. They are also physically strong, meaning that even against magic resistant foes, they can be very dangerous.

Weaknesses

Often insane, hated by many. It is rare for a Cambion to be put in a fair fight.

Reproduction - 20%

Cambions can only mate with Humans, and their own kind. It is rather strange actually. They cannot mate with Demons, who they are descended from. Mating results in a Cambion child.

Death

It is said that Cambion souls all go to the same place, but for one of two different purposes. The weaker ones are said to go to Hell for their eternal punishment. The really stronger ones, however, are said to become Demons.

Ranks

Rank E - Mundane - Individuals with almost all of their genes being Human. They have no powers, and are effectively just Humans.

Rank C - Abnormal - While still having mostly Human genes, these individuals have inherited some demonic genes. They are stronger than the average Human, and can harness a rather small amount of Hellfire. About enough to fit in the palm of one's hand.

Rank B - Halfblood - Individuals who's genes are about half Human, and half Demon. They are stronger than Humans, and can use some Hellfire.

Rank A - Chaotic - Powerful individuals, most of their genes are demonic. They can use Hellfire to great effect, throwing balls of fire the size of cars.

Rank S - Usurper - These individuals have almost entirely demonic genes. They are known to cause level entire city blocks without breaking a sweat. It is said that in the end days, an Usurper will take the throne and name himself King.
