The Feral
The Feral are those with the beast virus who have lost the battle against their beasts. It is a kind of insanity which takes hold of the hosts and is irrevocable. Those that turn Feral immediately transform into their hybrid forms and can no longer shift between human and beast. They become wild, salivating, murderous creatures who’s only purpose in life is to kill, maim and eat. It is up to other Beast-blooded to exterminate any Feral they come across, no questions asked.
The Balance
A balance must constantly be kept between man and beast, it is a fine line to walk, one, where if you take a step in either direction leads to becoming Feral. Look at it as a scale of 1-10, 1 being docile and completely in control of the beast, almost to obsession (those that are like this, constrict the beast so much that it simply breaks free of its chains at the first opportunity, making the host immediately Feral.). Those that are 10 have lost themselves to the beast’s instincts and are simply Feral. 5 is a happy medium and a well balanced individual, however, things are seldom that easy and the battle fluctuates to either side regularly.
The Fallen
The Fallen are angels that have fallen into disrepute with whichever Deity they look to, consequently being stripped of their heavenly rank and powers. The fallen are those angels which have made pacts with Custoss and the Darker Deities in order to possess power of some kind, however, it is likely to be dark and twisted. A member of this clan has the ability to hide their broken, misshapen, discoloured wings from humans, but cannot hide their natures from Custoss, who know them for what they are. The Kindred and Viruses have some degree of awareness, but only a tingling sensation unless the Fallen reveal themselves completely.
Custoss
Custoss are things of nightmares and of the Darker realms. They have many forms depending upon their allegiance. Each Custos is a member of a sect and looks to a different Deity, be it a succubus and her Deity of Lust or a Oneri and their Deity of Nightmares. Some Custoss have the ability to disguise themselves as humans for a short length of time but no Custos can stay out of his home realm for long without suffering. A home realm is the landscape in which the Custos lives, be it barren or lava filled.
