Born Damphyr: Born Naturally into the Curse

Damphyr are the carriers of a curse cast down on them in the age of creation. This curse is passed down from parent to child, continuing the cursed bloodlines.

The Damphyr are a people of simplicity, at least when it comes to their lineage. A Damphyr child can be born one of two ways. Either by one Damphyr parent and one human parent, or by two Damphyr parents. This act is natural and no different than the creation of a human child, as the Damphyr are essentially half human. There are some cases of a child being born free of the curse, taking after the human side of one of the parents (in the case of one parent being human). These are rare cases. These children are called 'bestowed'. They lack any and all limitations or strengths of their parent race, instead left completely human. They do, unfortunately carry the curse in their blood, and will eventually pass that blood on to their children, who may or may not change upon puberty. There is no way to tell which children will change and which will not. This is simply something that becomes clear as they child ages and fails to change.

Facts:

  • A Damphyr is completely normal throughout the first years of his or her life. They show no signs of their true nature. Laughing, growing, and living as a normal human.
  • Damphyr can eat and drink just like anyone else, and are not immune at all, and hold to alcohol or drugs.
  • Damphyr begin the Changing at the onset of puberty, between 13 and 14 years of age. Upon the onset, they go through a change much like the Lycan, which is covered under News Damphyr Changing.
  • Human blood is the preferred blood for a Damphyr, however it is not the only blood they can enjoy. Lycan blood is hard to get and seldom worth the potential of death, but it is a delicious and often expensive thing to come across.
  • The blood of a blessed human is -the- most craved of all bloods. It is sweet, intoxicating, and valuable. For this reason Blessed mortals are often not changed, but hunted down and stalked by many a Damphyr. Lycan Carriers are also among the lot of tasty mortal treats.
  • The blood of other Damphyr is disgusting and is not tolerated by any. It holds no effect, visually or physically to other Damphyr.

Changed Damphyr: Brought into the Curse

The change is not always a natural thing. The Damphyr carry in themselves the mystic property of the curse. A property that, like the Lycan, can be used to infect humans around them. Through a simple bite the Damphyr can rewrite the destiny of a human. It need only take a once to set in motion the change. Once a human changes, there is no going back.

Of course, not all Damphyr are open to the ideas of spreading the curse. The more uneducated Damphyr there are the more likely they are to call the threat of the Lycan or mankind down upon the others. It is for this reason that Damphyr prefer to not change humans, unless in special situations. Should a Damphyr wish to take a human bride and she should wish to change, then often the group will agree to the situation. Changing out of hate or anger is firmly looked down upon…but not completely unheard of. Accidental changes are also not completely unheard of, but are often very unwelcomed in the community. Being Damphyr does not mean that you are accepted by the others, and often are met with disrespect and hate.

Facts:

  • Changed humans do not inherent any knowledge about the past. They also must learn to use their powers, as this is not natural knowledge for them. They have a harder time coming to grips with these abilities.
  • Changed Damphyr do not have the trained willpower taught to the born, so they are less likely to immediately be able to hold off the hunger.
  • Only Humans can be changed. Lycan are immune to the change. Blessed humans lose their abilities upon the change.
  • Human blood is the preferred blood for a Damphyr, however it is not the only blood they can enjoy. Lycan blood is hard to get and seldom worth the potential of death, but it is a delicious and often expensive thing to come across.
  • The blood of a blessed human is -the- most craved of all bloods. It is sweet, intoxicating, and valuable. For this reason Blessed mortals are often not changed, but hunted down and stalked by many a Damphyr. Lycan Carriers are also among the lot of tasty mortal treats.
  • The blood of other Damphyr is disgusting and is not tolerated by any. It holds no effect, visually or physically to other Damphyr.
