Nephilim
The Nephilim are also called the 1st. crossbreeds were the result of seraphim & eidolon making life together. The nephilim held immense potential making them a threat to their ancestors. They would later go on to be the progenitors of humanity & build their own empires that stand to this day.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The anatomy of nephilim depends on the specific group of nephilim though there are commonalities between them. The nephilim have a fair complexion, silky blonde, black, white, green, blue or brown hair, lilac, yellow, brown, orange, or red eyes.
Asgardian males typically have a muscular build although it's not uncommon for them to have a slender athletic build while the females also have a slender athletic build. Avalonian Nephilim typically have a slender build.
Biological Traits
Nephilim were ageless meaning they were Immortal until killed, like their pinnacle ancestors. The 1st. generation of nephilim had a trait called "Adaptation" which made their bodies adapt & change to better fit their lifestyle although this faded with newer generations. Nephilim born from asgardian lifestyle would be natural born warriors & in touch with nature and divinity while nephilim born from avalonian lifestyle would be natural arcane users like their crimson eyed ancestors. Nephilim of either group can manifest two miracles more than the eidolons but less than the seraphim, they also have stronger souls and therefore higher spirit reserves.
Nephilim in their youth bear a trait called "Potential" which would increase the rate at which dedicated areas of the nephilim grow, such as in strength, speed, stamina, magical ability ect. although this would fade when a nephilim becomes 100 years old. Nephilim had the trait called "Limitless" which gave them the ability to have higher power in various attributes than other races. Nephilim when pushed to the edge of loss or death can use a chemical in their brains called adrenaline that augments their physical & mental capabilities for a short time at the cost of energy. This further grew after the Age Of Light becoming the fragments of humanity.

History
The nephilim were born during the Old Times and due to the potential of the species they were hunted to near extinction by the seraphim & eidolons this caused the two races to enact the Grey Hunt to kill the crossbreed race that brought fear to them because of their potential. Some survived to plan the downfall of their predecessors by aiding in the creation of Oroborus, bringing about the Great Calamity. Two nephilim groups, one lead by odin & the other merlin escaped through the seraphim ship the Ophanim and planned to build a new better world with their potential.
The two groups eventually got into conflict over how their new world should work, until a swarm attack destroyed their ship splitting each group apart through a crossing. The two groups would then grow separately building their own world & eventually gave rise to Humans through the ashes of their fallen brethren.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
- Seraphim: A hated race to the Nephilim due to the Grey Hunts, but thankful due to their extinction.
- Eidolons: A hated race to the Nephilim due to the Grey Hunts but thankful due to their extinction.
- Humans: Initially A failed attempt at saving their Species but eventually found value in their next genetic generation.
"When did these get so plentiful? Their potential is staggering, no special eyes, no wings, no hyper- intelligence, but they still seem to be capable of surpassing us. Maybe the Grey Pact was a mistake. - Azoth"
"You father, how could you go and taint our perfect blood with them. You and the offspring you want me to call family are now subject to execution. - Yharim"
"Azoth and I have come to an agreement that the nephilim are too dangerous to be left alive. The Grey Hunts will commence immediately; all Nephilim are to be culled, their city decimated, and any seraphim & eidolon who made them dead. Azoth must be disappointed as he'll have to have Mystogan executed and I must have the same fate fall upon Arcaniel. - Seraphiel"
