Halfbloods

(Halfblooded are a CA race, and may not be played without making an application.)   The Halfblooded are the most common form of demonic offspring (Blooded), and they do not come from any specific sort of demon. Generally speaking, the taint in one of the Halfblooded is not extremely strong, and they are the most common type of offspring to end up as normal, well-adjusted people for this. Typically they are the result of minor demonic presence while a child is in the womb, or are several generations removed from a more directly demonically influenced person. Either way, physically, Halflooded typically carry some odd traits due to their heritage. Halfblooded make up about half of all demonic offspring.    

Appearance

Halfblooded are typically very tall and healthy individuals, with either very pale skin, or skin which is more tan or dark than what their parentage might suggest. They almost always have a pair of curved horns jutting from above their brow, though when they’re born these frequently have not even begun to show themselves. Sometimes, they have even more demonic characteristics, such as slitted pupils, tails, forked tongues, curious, inhuman hands or feet, or even stubby, vestigial wings.  

Body Modifications

In order to hide their heritage better, many of them will file down their horns, clip their ears, or sever vestigial wings or tails. Though filing horns is no more painful than clipping nails, the rest of the listed procedures are less kind to their subjects.  

Racial Abilities

Halfbloods have the racial abilities of their base species, except as noted here.   Infernal Constitution: Halfbloods are not subject to any disease, with the exception of magical ones.   Demonic Heritage: All Halfbloods carry horns, though their size greatly varies   See Cold Resistance.   Halfbloods corrupt the world around them. See Corruption & Purification.

Demonic Trait

Choose one of the following abilities:   Prehensile Tail: You have a tail, which can be used as an extra limb! It can hold objects, and has the same strength as one of your own limbs. It also makes you far better at balancing!   Cateyes: You are capable of seeing without penalty in any sort of light.   Claws: Your hands and forearms have special sheathed claws between their knuckles, generally about 1% of a person's total height in length.   Hooves: You have hooves instead of feet! Your block speed increases by one!

Redlines

The definition of a "Magical Disease" is in some part up to the Event Host inflicting it. Regular food-borne illness and normal diseases should not fall under this category, however any disease inflicted by a Truth should. Beyond these general guidelines, however, it is up to the Host, or a lore team member should one be needed.   Your prehensile tail, if you choose that trait, should be somewhat clumsy, capable of more simple movements, such as swinging a weapon or holding onto something, but more delicate actions, like performing surgery or picking a lock would be far beyond its capabilities.   If you choose to have cateyes or claws, these are both extremely obvious, requiring gloves or smoked glass eyeglasses to conceal.  

History

Halfblooded, in many ways, have been a dirty little secret throughout most of history. If they were born into a notable family, their existence would almost always be hidden. If a halfblood participated in civil society for most of history, they, too, would hide their own heritage. It is only in the past few centuries in which the true origin of the Halfblooded has been known, and more of them have begun popping up without hiding their heritage. It is quite possible that more Halfblooded will become part of Gaian history on the continent of Anoma.
