Nephilim

The Nephilim are hybrid beings resulting from the natural union between a Goddess and a Demon. Tristan Liones is the only known case.

Overview
Because of the long millennia of rivalry between the Godesss and Demon Clans, the simple conception of the Nephilim constitutes an extremely rare phenomenon and would even be seen today as an aberration by certain Demons who would not have given up to their contempt for the Goddess Clan and its allies.

Appearance and Physiology
Following Tristan's case, the Nephilim can have an appearance identical to that of Humans, which allows them to live quite easily among them. When he uses Light Magic, his eyes turn orange, with a golden triskelion-shaped pupil, and can extend or retract one or more pairs of ethereal white-feathered wings. On the other hand, when he uses Dark Magic, "Dark Marks" appears on their face and also his eyes become black and the feathers of their wings when they are in the grip of strong emotions.

Powers and Abilities
The Nephilim can use the Light Magic of the Goddess Clan as well as the Dark Magic of the Demon Clan, and can manifest these two Magics either separately or simultaneously, which allows them to use "Racial" Magical Powers such as the Ark or the Hellblaze :


 * As a descendant of the Goddesses, the Nephilim are able to generate and manipulate "Divine Light" in the form of particles capable of disintegrating anything they touch, which is particularly effective in countering Dark Magic of Demons or Vampires, but not Chaotic Magic.
 * Healing: As descendants of the Goddesses, the Nephilim can heal the wounds of any living being, including Demons, provided they have "certain mastery". However, it doesn't seem to work on diseases or curses.
 * Power of Darkness: As a descendant of Demons, Nephilim can manipulate his Dark Magic for various purposes, such as increasing their Physical Power.
 * Nephilim can also tap into the and project them into inextinguishable black flames.
 * Flight: As descendants of the Goddesses, the Nephilim can deploy one or more pairs of ethereal white-feathered wings allowing them to move through the air. Its feathers turn black when they deploy their Dark Magic.
