Nephilim

Description

The Nephilim is a human with angelic parentage. Born to saintly women through the miracle of immaculate conception, the Nephilim inherit traits from their divine fathers which set them apart from ordinary men.

Nephilim draw strength from divine oaths inherited from the one who sired them, such as to never cut off their hair, furthermore if a Nephilim loses Virtue or honor they begin to wither and die.

No two Nephilim look alike, but possible distinguishing features of Nephilim range from stigmatic wounds, a towering stature beyond the natural limits of their human brethren, to a glowing halo.

Nephilim blood is particularly potent for use in blood sacrifice, and their bodies can be broken down into a myriad of highly valuable alchemical components, making them prime targets for slavers and dark sorcerers.

The very existence of the Nephilim however is in violation of divine law, and in ancient times brought great misfortune upon Mankind.
