Cambions

Cambion, 'Hellspawn', Demonspawn, whatever you may call them, the Cambion are a race of half-breeds that more often than not, only ever held within a negative light. They're the unfortunate offspring born from a Demons and portal parent. These unfortunate creatures are left to live most of their life as outcasts due to their ancestry, which more often than not manifests as obvious signs of their infernal heritage.

Infernal Lineage

Cambions can all trace their lineage back towards a specific Abyssal Lord Each lineage carries on specific traits that manifest over their lifespan, typically as a mirror of whatever Abyssal Lord they inherit power from. Those that inherit power from Sekra for example, will typically find themselves developing high pain tolerance and the ability to find pleasure in every situation, no matter how depraved or painful it might be. They might also develop long, wiry tails or tongues. Conversely, those that inherit power from Yaldomaoth might develop long horns, rat-like tails, or even claws and facial structure. Whatever the case; no cambion is ever the same. They all look different from the next.

Corrupted Souls

Those who study and understand demons closely know that Cambions are unfortunate enough to carry a corrupted soul. Their soul is partially crystallized, halfway onto the state of demonhood due to their parentage. As a result, Cambions are highly susceptible to grief and stress; such situations risk their soul properly crystallizing into a full shard, leading to them fully embracing their demonic heritage. In short; cambion bodies are a constant battle between mortality and demonhood.

Genetics and Reproduction

A Cambion's offspring is always doomed to carry their demonic bloodline. To those aware of the potential repercussions, this makes many Cambions very hesitant to form meaningful or romantic relationships.

Naming Traditions

Cambions have lived on the world of Veska long enough to develop their own loose traditions and naming conventions. They are still far and few between however, and thus do not have a properly developed culture; they're mostly seen as vagabonds and outcasts.
