### Distinction

An amalgamated species that possesses the combined traits and abilities of two supernatural species.

### **Hybrids**

are a cross-breed of two different supernatural species. The term is commonly used to describe a werewolf turned into a vampire, however, since the werewolf-vampire hybrid's creation, there have been other hybrids, such as siphoner turned witch-vampire hybrids, werewolf-witch hybrids and in a rare there are even ledoeen-vampire hybrids.

Hybrids possess both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of their parent races, along with powerful attributes unique to themselves alone due to their combined heritage.

* For werewolf-vampire hybrids, this includes day walking and being able to transform into a wolf without the Full Moon's influence.

* For siphoner-vampire hybrids, they retain their ability to siphon magic and their own vampirism as a power source for their use in witchcraft; as they did not possess their own magic as siphoners; this is a skill that makes them powerful.
* For werewolf-witch hybrids, they retain their ability to magic and being able to transform into a wolf without the Full Moon's influence,
* For ledoeen-vampire hybrids they retain the ability to take on a humanoid form, gaining the ability to fly. The ability to be supernaturally resistant to physical damage as long as the damage is not directly to the leodeen-vampire hybrid's soft spot and their own vampirism as a power source.

## **Creation**

* **Werewolf-Vampire Hybrids**

Niklaus Mikaelson was conceived when his mother Esther had an affair with Ansel, the Alpha of the North East Atlantic werewolf pack. Her affair, as well as Klaus' werewolf heritage, was kept a secret from everyone. However, when Klaus made his first human kill after being turned into an Original vampire, he triggered his werewolf gene, which turned him into the world's first hybrid.

When Mikael learned about his wife's infidelity, he killed Ansel and the werewolves. As a hybrid, Klaus had additional powers over his siblings and father. Esther, however, cursed him to cause his werewolf side to become dormant, as a duty to Nature to keep the balance as well as a way of atoning for her affair. She bound the curse with the blood of Tatia, the Petrova doppelgänger, and the moonstone.

* **Werewolf-Witch Hybrids**

Gina de Gusie was conceived when her mother had an affair with an Alpha werewolf. Her affair, as well as Gina' werewolf heritage, was kept a secret from everyone. However, when Gina made her first human kill, she triggered his werewolf gene, which turned her into the world's first Werewolf-Witch hybrid.

* **Siphoner-Vampire Hybrids**

The hybridization of witches and vampires is impossible. Witches are servants of Nature while vampires are aberrations of Nature. When a witch transitions into a vampire, they lose their connection to Nature and are unable to practice magic. However, a subsection of aberrant witches, known as siphoners, are unique to this. Siphoners have no magic of their own, yet possess the ability to siphon magic from others. When they are turned into a vampire, the siphoner witch retains their ability to siphon magic and, as a vampire, access to siphon from themselves to cast spells. Lillian Salvatore found and befriended a group of siphoners that were cast out from their coven, the Gemini Coven. Eventually she turned them into siphoner witch-vampire hybrids. Her "family" became known as Heretics.

* **Ledoeen-Vampire Hybrids**

The hybridization of ledoeen and vampires are very rare, it has only happened twice so far. The first hybrid is still unknown, however, the second happened to be Dominique Salomon's son. Both hybrid are dead.
