Broxas, the extraordinary offspring born from the merging of demons and vampires, possess a unique and captivating essence that sets them apart from ordinary beings. With their dual heritage, broxas embody a fusion of demonic strength and vampiric allure. They exhibit mesmerizing eyes, shimmering with an otherworldly glow, and ethereal beauty that radiates from their flawless, pale skin. Their physical traits often resemble humans, allowing them to pass unnoticed in human society, yet subtle otherworldly tells reveal their true nature. They possess elongated fangs, reminiscent of their vampiric lineage, and their voices carry an enchanting quality, capable of captivating all who listen. Broxas are marked by an aura of mystery, captivating the curiosity and fascination of those around them. Through their shifting age and appearance, they can effortlessly transition between youthful vitality and a more aged countenance, embodying both wisdom and eternal youth. Their combined demonic and vampiric nature grants them enhanced physical abilities, such as agility, strength, and grace. While broxas can exhibit an alluring charisma that draws others in, their ambitious drive and cunning manipulation should not be underestimated. They possess a dualistic nature that gives rise to internal conflicts and subtle tensions between their demonic and vampiric aspects. Broxas are not invulnerable, as sunlight weakens them and holy relics or symbols of fate can diminish their power. However, true destruction of a broxa requires complete annihilation of their earthly body, purification through a sacred flame, or severance of both realms, with the survival and regeneration of the broxa's essence dependent on the strength of its vampiric aspect. Broxas stand as enigmatic beings, forever caught between their demonic and vampiric heritage, offering a mesmerizing and formidable presence in the world they inhabit.

Special Abilities

Broxas, born from the fusion of demons and vampires, possess a diverse array of abilities that vary based on the percentages of demon essence and vampire blood infused within them, as well as the intentions of their creator. The interplay between these elements determines their inherent powers, physical alterations, and characteristics. Their abilities can range from heightened physical strength and demon summoning to enhanced senses and mind control. The specific purpose for which a broxa is created also influences the distribution of their powers. This diversity makes each broxa a unique and formidable entity, shaped by their parentage and intended role.

Supernatural Strength and Agility
Broxas inherit the physical prowess of their demon and vampire ancestors, granting them superior strength, speed, and agility compared to ordinary beings. This allows them to perform impressive feats of physicality and excel in combat.
Age Manipulation
Broxas have the ability to manipulate their age at will, altering their physical appearance and associated attributes accordingly. They can appear as young or old as they desire, adjusting their size, voice, and physical capabilities to match their chosen age.
Regeneration
The demon essence within broxas grants them accelerated healing abilities. They can regenerate wounds and injuries at a faster rate compared to humans, with the speed of regeneration directly influenced by the percentage of demon essence they possess.
Supernatural Senses
Broxas possess heightened senses similar to those of vampires. They have enhanced vision, allowing them to see clearly in darkness, and acute hearing that allows them to detect even the faintest of sounds. Their senses of smell and taste are also heightened, enabling them to track scents and discern nuances that others might miss.
Immortality and Longevity
Broxas inherit the extended lifespan characteristic of vampires. They do not age in the same way as humans and are immune to diseases and ailments that affect mortals. While not invulnerable, they can live for centuries, granting them a perspective and understanding of the world that few others possess.
Demon Summoning
Drawing upon their demonic lineage, broxas possess the ability to summon and command lesser demons. They can call upon these creatures to aid them in battles or perform specific tasks, utilizing their demon bloodline to establish dominance over infernal entities.
Mind Control and Influence
Some broxas possess limited abilities to manipulate the minds of weaker-willed individuals. Through their vampiric heritage, they can exert a subtle influence over others, compelling them to comply with their desires or planting suggestions within their thoughts.

Lineage

Broxas born to vampires are exceedingly rare occurrences, but they do happen. Broxas, regardless of their lineage, can manifest as male, female, or possess characteristics of both genders or neither. The abilities of a broxa are heavily influenced by the specific parentage from which it arises. Generally, the more demonic essence present, the more potent its powers become. However, it is customary to limit a broxa's demonic essence to two-thirds or less, as greater proportions could lead to a potential challenge to the power and authority of their parents.

Weaknesses

To defeat a Broxa, it is known that sunlight weakens them, although it does not prove fatal. Holy relics or symbols of fate can also diminish their strength. However, there are three sure-fire methods to destroy a Broxa:

Disintegration of the Earthly Body
Complete annihilation of the Broxa's earthly body is a potent means of destruction. By employing powerful spells, rituals, or utilizing ancient artifacts, the Broxa's physical form is reduced to mere dust, eradicating its presence from the material plane entirely.
Purifying Holy Flame
Unleashing a sacred flame infused with intense positive energy upon the Broxa proves highly effective. The holy flame engulfs the Broxa, consuming its essence and reducing its physical manifestation to ashes, purging its presence from the world.
Severance of Both Realms
Sending the Broxa to the Severed Realm, where the demonic energy is banished and the vampiric essence is severed from the material plane, can ensure its destruction. If the vampire side of the Broxa is strong enough to survive in the Severed Realm alongside the demon side, both aspects will endure, allowing the Broxa to regenerate and eventually return to the material plane. However, if the vampire side is not resilient enough, both sides will perish, eliminating the Broxa completely.

It is worth noting that while some Broxa may be immortal, others are not. The survival of a Broxa's essence in the Severed Realm, as well as the potential for regeneration, hinges on the strength of its vampiric aspect. If the vampire side is potent enough to withstand the challenges of the Severed Realm alongside the demon side, both aspects will endure, leading to eventual regeneration and return. However, if the vampire side lacks the necessary resilience, neither aspect will survive, resulting in the permanent demise of the Broxa.
