Demonkin

Overview
Demonkin are creatures that either are partially a demon themself or have demonblood flowing through their veins. They appear in all sort of different variations, each demontype with their own appearance and abilitys. The only demonblooded that are not considered Demonkin are the descendants of Ish'tar, who is also known as the first vampire.

History
During the great war Abaddon created all kinds of demons to serve him in his conquest of destruction. Some of them enslaved local creatures and feeding them with their blood, mutating them and binding them towards the demons will. These were considered the first Demonkin, as they strongly resembled the demons that gave them their blood and had the similar strengths, even though severely weakened, as that respective demon. Most of the original Demonkin went instinct, as they were sent to the frontlines as sacrifical lambs, those however who got lucky and survived longer then the demon they were bound are still roaming around Arcadia, despite the best efforts of most races to get rid of them for good.

After the great war, a second type of Demonkin, the demonblooded, started to appear. By disguising themselves as other races some demons sneaked into the societies and passed down their blood in form of children. These children looked mostly the same as the original race, except of carrying a mark of some form on their body. At first these children were seen as gifts from the gods, as they possessed great talent and exceeded even adults at an early age. But the demonblood also gave them destructive tendencies, chaotic thoughts and even bloodlust. As the word spread, the children that were once praised got hunted down and had to run for their lives, some without even knowing why. This in return created hatred towards civilazation and this hate only made the demonblood stronger, taking easier over.
