What:
Species: Daemon (pronounced day-mon)-paranormal
Nickname: shadow demon – only 100 worldwide
Daemon are supernatural beings who can shift into a humanoid form—meaning they are biped.
Skin color: gray, to dark gray, to black. Some have wings. Others don’t. Some have tails. Others don’t. Some have fangs. Others don’t. They are NOT demons.
~Indefinitely long lifespan but can be killed
~They don’t get sick; can’t get or give anything
~They are always beautiful (power depends on age)
His group of daemons are called a clan. Kage’s title is Elder. Second in command are called lieutenants. His clan has 10 daemons and other prn-there are 50 members in all and they all live there in the building.
Daemon Abilities:
AGE AFFECTS ABILITY
*ODLER THE DAEMON, THE STRONGER THEIR ABILITY*
*Get 2nd pair of horns when they hit their prime, which around 500 yrs old
Main ability: Where the nickname comes from-humans and other paranormals are terrified of daemon because they can manipulate any shadow around them. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bright sunny day or the dead of night—if there is a shadow nearby, they can step into it and disappear.
They transported via shadows. Can reappear next door, or the next town, or on the other side of the world depending on age… as long as there is a shadow, that’s all they needed.
If that wasn’t frightening enough, they can manipulate any kind of shadow to do their bidding. The shadow of a tree can grab someone and disappear with them. Or it can be the shadow of a rock. Or a building. Or a flower. Even another person’s shadow could be manipulated.
Enhanced Healing: heal really quick, but can still be killed (beheading, stabbed in heart, set on fire, bullet to brain) The older they are, the quicker they heal
Enhanced Strength: Daemon have super-human strength that allows them to lift or throw things far beyond human ability. They can send people flying across a room with a single punch. This super-human strength is an advantage over a human in a fight, and is part of what makes them such formidable foes.
Enhanced night vision: see very well at night. Age does not affect this.
