Forlorn(Creature)



A Forlorn is basically a demon/human hybrid. Forlorn are the result of a curse that extremely powerful demons and even some Forlorn are capable of casting as a last survival technique. The "curse" is actually much more complex than what it sounds to be. The demon actually takes it's mind and part of it's genetic code and invades the human's body in an effort to take control of the human's body. Depending on the willpower of the human, the demon may or may not succeed in this attempt. Regardless, becoming a Forlorn does cause several specific things to happen. Physically, the human's appearance changes to become more demonic: claws grow on their hands, their pupils become narrow slits, their eyes become an amber color, they sprout leathery wings on their backs, their bodies often become engraved with energy lines, etc. These characteristic strike fear into the hearts of humans. This physical altercation combined with possession rage makes humans shun Forlorn from society. Possession rage takes place upon the initial entrance of the demon in the host body; the entrance of another mind into the body causes temporary insanity and bloodlust, causing the Forlorn to kill anybody or anything nearby. Forlorn who do manage to retain their humanity often go permanently insane, due to the incredible loneliness that they suffer from. Despite these factors, the demonic dna does grant the host body new abilities, such as flight and access to fire and darkness magic.
