Dainimenos

They are the children of a demon or fiend and a mortal, often a humanoid, which are raised on one of the inner realms or outer realms depending on the situation, though more often than not the fiendish parent will be long gone by the time the child is born and will show no care or effort in protecting and providing for the family. Danimienos can sometimes be cause by infernal blood which has long laid dormant, for example two human parents may birth a dainimenos child or vice versa so long as there was infernal influence at some point in time.

## Description

There are several types of dainimenos depending on what level of the hells and what power level their parent was, however, there are some things that remain consistent throughout the different types, those being: horns of varying size and shape, sharpened teeth typically the upper and lower canines, pointed ears like a half-elves, long strengthened nails. Additionally, there are a number of things a dainimenos can receive through genetics, such as some dainimenos having goat legs, a forked tongue, or wings.

Dainimenos are omnivorous, though they have a preference for meat which can be displayed in the sharpened teeth all dainimenos has and their digestive system that has trouble ingesting certain fruits and vegetables (examples being fruits that have high acidity, i.e. citrus/tomato/etc.)

Dainimenos horns are meant more for display rather than combat, like a goats, with a dainimenos often finding attraction in other dainimenos via their horn shape and adornment. As for their tails, they can become prehensile through practice and training but they can be used to pick up items less than a pound in weight, as extra leverage when attempting to capture an individual, or wield a weapon that is light or has the finesse trait with disadvantage and lessened damage.

## Dainimenos Bloodlines

Dependent on their bloodline, a dainimenos may gain different features and abilities from their sire which often take shape in their appearance and resistances. There are, however, still 3 core bloodlines which are the most common with all others being less common to the point of being even more heavily demonized than their more common counterparts.

### Lesser Demon Bloodline

If a demon is of a certain threshold of power, their children with a humanoid beings will always be the lesser demon bloodline which is by far and wide the most common of the Dainimenos bloodlines with the most common features and abilities. They have no chance of hooved feet or wings but have long varying horns, clawed fingernails, and a simple tail ending in a rounded point.

#### Innate Spellcasting

Because of their lineage, these dainimenos can cast a variety of spells dependent on their magical knowledge and age; these spells are: Fire Bolt, at age 15; Chaotic Mind, at age 21; and Charm Person, at age 28. Each spell can be cast once per day and to cast these spells, they do not require material components for these spells but do require somatic and verbal components. Of course through experience they could gain access to these spells at an earlier age. Resistance to Fire and Charming Magic.

### Succubus/Incubus Bloodline

Beautiful beyond compare, almost as beautiful as the angels of the gods, these dainimenos are charismatic and seductive with a typically ambiguous appearance and softer demonic features that appear as smaller horns, a long tail ending in a heart tip, and long sharpened nails. It is known that they are the only kind of dainimenos can feed off the sexual energy a person releases and gain a sort of "sustenance" from this which enhances their powers temporarily.

#### Innate Spellcasting

Because of their lineage, these dainimenos can cast a variety of spells dependent on their magical knowledge and age; these spells are: Enhanced Charm Person, at the age of 15; Exchange, at age 21; and Command, at age 28. Each spell can be cast once per day and to cast these spells, they do not require material components for these spells but do require somatic and verbal components. Of course through experience they could gain access to these spells at an earlier age. Resistance to Fire and Charming Magic.

### Rakshasa Bloodline

Certainly not as beautiful, these dainimenos will have long and unruly hair, a pair of large tusks protruding from their lower jaw, and eyes the color of blood. Once they reach maturity it is not uncommon for them to begin craving raw meat and perhaps the flesh of their fellows (though most will resist the latter urge) and will be unable to consume anything but meat.

#### Innate Spellcasting

Because of their lineage, these dainimenos can cast a variety of spells dependent on their magical knowledge and age; these spells are: Command, at age 15; Burning Cone, age 21; Teleport, age 28. Each spell can be cast once per day and to cast these spells, they do not require material components for these spells but do require somatic and verbal components. Of course through experience they could gain access to these spells at an earlier age. Resistance to Fire and Charming Magic.

Some of the more uncommon bloodlines are that of the Demon Lord, Hellish Divinity, and Erinyes but there are far more that are even more uncommon and unknown of that have not been entirely documented due to their rarity.

## Biology

### Maturity

Dainimenos mature at roughly the same rate as a human, reaching adulthood at 15 and living until about 100 years of age. People of the dainimenos ancestry are fractured due to the cause of their creation most travel freely, leaving their human parents when come of age and their demonic features become more apparent; though it is uncommon for dainimenos to be raised by their non-demonic parent fully but are often abandoned outside of orphanages or temples. It is common for dainimenos to have a "only I can depend on myself" kind of outlook on life but will ally themselves with other dainimenos, if only briefly, if they cross paths with one as a sort of 'we've both been through hardships because of our heritage' kind of way.
