Cambion

"Not really a demon; not really human. I'm not either. That's all. There was no place for me, so I had to find one myself. And then I realized. I had a place, but I was the only one in it. I didn't know any other way to live."
― Inuyasha (InuYasha)

The power to use the abilities of cambions. Variation of Mythic and Human Hybrid Physiology. Combination of Human Physiology and Demon Physiology. Demonic counterpart of Nephilim Physiology.

  • Human-Demon Offspring

Capabilities[]

User with this ability either is or can transform into a cambion: a being (most commonly one of the first generation) with mortal and demonic ancestry.

Note: In mythology, cambions are considered to be the result of a union between a demon and a mortal human. This is similar to the conception of the Demigods in mythology. Just like said demigods, cambions can come in forms other than the traditional kind. Said forms would involve being a mortal human who went through a form of ascension, where they became a demonic being themselves (e.g.: Cordelia Chase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Antichrist from Abrahamic Religions & Demi Fiend from Shin Megami Tensei). Another form would be a immortal demon with a Human Soul or a Mortal Human with a Demonic Soul

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, Cambions are shown to be equal or higher in power than full demons, this is generally explained with the claim that the human soul enhances the spiritual/demonic power gained from their "parent".

The combination of mortal and physical with immortal and immaterial is highly unpredictable, and someone with heritage from both sides can lean on either side of their ancestry. Thus, cambions can be divided into three broad groups:

Near-Mortal Cambion: Favors their mortal parents or are more distant descendants. They are mostly similar to their mortal kind in both mind and body, but with some additional abilities and instincts. Outwardly there are few or no indications that the individual is anything but normal.

Balanced Cambion: Balanced between their heritages, if sometimes rather precariously, and have both free will and a good amount of power. There are likely a number of definite traits and instincts that draw them toward their inhuman side. Physically they tend to have at least a few indications about their non-mortal parentage, but the amount varies greatly between individuals.

Near-Demonic Cambion: 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.
