Chapter 3 - Powers of the Nephalems

Benefits

• Natural Power: A power derived from the essence of every Nephalem, surpassing even the inherited traits of their angelic and demonic ancestry. This ability connects them to all things, allowing them to manipulate the forces of existence and non-existence in infinite ways. In essence, they can achieve nearly anything, limited only by their life experience and personal evolution-as greater control and mastery come with time. Though this power is inherent to all Nephalem, its application varies from individual to individual,making its versatility unique.

• Transcendent Mind: Due to their heightened consciousness, Nephalem can learn human capabilities with ease, mastering them in far less time than ordinary beings.

• High Spirit: Like their minds, their souls are more evolved than most, granting them access to a broader range of abilities and making them even more adaptable.

• Immortality: Their very nature rejects all afterlife realms-whether Heaven, Hell, or the Void-just as those realms reject their existence. As a result, Nephalem cannot truly die, rendering them virtually immortal. However, like all things, they possess a hidden weakness-a secret known only to the oldest beings in existence...

Disadvantages

• Hereditary Bad Reputation:

Their birth is considered an affront to nature, and due to the atrocities committed by some of their ancestors who misused their power and free will, every Nephalem bears the burden of this infamous legacy from an early age.

• Angels: As the product of a forbidden union-condemned by divine law-Nephalem are relentlessly hunted by Angels. It is not uncommon for them to be tracked down and confronted at any moment during their journey. The stronger a Nephalem becomes, the greater the threat they pose-and the more fervently Angels pursue them.

م

• Demons: Similarly, their existence defies the laws of Hell, making them targets of Demons. Like their celestial counterparts, Demons stalk Nephalem, ensuring encounters are inevitable. Power attracts greater attention, and the mightier a Nephalem grows, the more Demons seek to destroy them.

Race Appearance

Like Angels and Demons, Nephalem often disguise themselves among humans.

However, because they inherit traits from both races, they blend in even more seamlessly-making them nearly undetectable. They can assume any form, human or otherwise, but their true appearance is a fusion of their divine and demonic heritage.

This manifests differently for each individual: some may have wings with both black and white feathers, paired with crimson horns and flawless skin; others might possess one red eye and one blue, or mismatched wings -one feathered and white, the other bat-like and black. The possibilities are as varied as the Nephalem themselves.

Weakness: Immortality

As the saying goes, nothing in existence is truly immortal. To maintain balance, the Creator God himself cursed all Nephalem at birth, ensuring that even they have a fatal flaw...
