Hybrid

**Hybrids** are a cross between two species, one usually humans.

## History

A child is a hybrid that was bred naturally by the mating of two different species and thus possesses both of their parents' capabilities and powers. Additionally, it is highly likely that their power can be equally escalated to the point where they are much more powerful than either species alone. This is because of them inheriting both/all physiological powers and abilities from both parents, and their spiritual bodies also having both properties from both/all species.

If a hybrid mates with a different specific race, like a human for example, there are exactly two different outcomes as a result. First, the child will either be a quarter hybrid, though unlike the mainstream hybrids in terms of their level of power, will more than likely be weaker than the former kind of hybrids. The second outcome however, is when the hybrid, again, mates with a different kind of member as a particular race, but this time, the born child will not only have the two combined physiology sets of said hybrid, but the infant will be a human, resulting in a trifecta, quadfecta, and the whole nine yards.

### Reasons Against Cross-Breeding

* Hybrids can usually inherit the down-sides of either if not both/all species.
* Hybrids can inherit weaker skills of either both/all species.
* Hybrids may be made into pariahs, depending on their societies views.
* May require genetic tampering, a special device, or a special ritual to bring out dominant traits for some hybrids.
* Hybrids may be genetically unstable, leading to various health issues/defects, such as infertility, short lifespans, etc.

## Known Hybrids

### **Cambion**

**Cambions** are beings with human and demonic ancestry. Favors 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.

### **Fairy Dragon**

This type of dragon are normally small  with a fur covered skin and fairy-like wings (hence the name *Fairy Dragon*), and eat fruits, root, vegetables and/or insects. Fairy dragons can be powerful if allowed to use their abilities in full, which includes the power to induce confusion and euphoria in foes, and are also specialized in certain magics, which differs among each Fairy Dragon.

### **Fairy-Vampire**

A hybrid of a vampire and a fairy which is capable of using all the powers of both species and for centuries (in most cases) it was thought such a combination could not exist. If the change is successful, they become more powerful as they age and in terms of both their fae and vampiric abilities they are immune to sunlight, silver, invitation, and witchcraft. The fae side also seems to render them capable of consuming ordinary food and beverages (something vampires cannot do themselves).

### **Half-Dragon**

The offspring of a dragon and a human, or alternately a humanoid with abilities similar or identical to those of dragons. They may also possess draconic physical traits as a result.

### **Half-Vampire**

A vampire/human hybrid, which in most cases has all the strengths that a normal vampire has without any of the weaknesses. Blood is still a factor in most cases, either they need to feed because they will die or they simply are weakened when they don't feed. Some dhampirs can subsist on either blood or human food. Whatever the case, just like with vampires, the quantity of blood a dhampir needs will vary greatly. Their resistance to sunlight varies as well; some may be weakened by it, while others are completely immune to its effects.

Physically dhampirs are in top form, having the strengths of a vampire they are very strong, most do not age and others age very slowly. There are far less variations in appearance when it comes to dhampirs because of their human side. Most dhampirs will look like normal humans, some will be extremely attractive but there are not many non-humanoid dhampirs out there.

### **Mystic Vampire (Half-Witch)**

A mystically empowered vampire, with well rounded arcane powers and have tremendous magical power. These abilities may be the result of being descendants from a long line of witches and a parent, but other origins are possible, for example being turned/buried on/to mystically significant place. Mystic vampires can overcome the limitations most vampires have, because of their abilities in magic.

### **Mystic Werewolf**

A werewolf with the ability to use magic, either because they were magic users before they were bitten or there parents were a werewolf and a witch. Because of their abilities in magic, they may be able to overcome the limitations most werewolves have.

### **Nephilim**

Nephilim is a hybrid creature conceived by an angel and a human parent. 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 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".

### **Werepire**

Werepire is a hybrid of a vampire and any type of werebeast which is capable of using all the powers of both parent species and using them to enhance each other. These hybrids often have an immunity to several weaknesses that their parent species have, such as: silver, gold, sunlight, but something that affects both parent species may still affect them.
