Demons are like humans; no one is alike. They can be distinguished from each other easily by their blood affinity and this is also how the halflings can be distinguished. Affinities will start out minutely and when the demon (or halfling) is more experienced, the affinity will in turn intensify until control is much easier. Demons are set apart from humans as they have fangs and claws. Most also have an aura surrounding them and causes humans to lose energy. Demons live longer and are harder to kill than humans are. It usually takes a bullet to the head and chest to kill a demon by modern weaponry. The demons' natural weakness is their need for conflict. Without conflict, they will slowly weaken and eventually die, living only to about a hundred years - a fifth of their normal lifespan.
The bestial demons are the most common demons. While they do not have much destructive power, they have the numbers to make up for it. Elementals are the next most common demons, having control over one element of nature. They are not likely to breed outside of their affinity, but there are some odd cases. The most powerful demons are the Synergetics, being able to influence substantial forces. However, they are largely infertile and they are quite a small part of the demon population.
Demon Breeding
- Demons may only breed within their sub-affinity
- A half-breed will only take on the affinity of only one of their parents'
- A half-breed will be will be infertile.
- No demons with two entirely different affinities have ever been born.
- Demons will never breed with halflings. It is suspected, but not proven that they are unable to breed.
Demon Bloods:
