Daemon Eater

Physical Description

When you contracted Demonblight one of your limbs took the brunt of the disease causing it to become Daemonic in nature and morphology depend on Corrupted Limb.

History

Daemon eaters are created when a humanoid being is corrupted by a naturally-occurring disease known known as the Daemonblight. Every few hundred years, a red moon rises, raining Daemonblight upon the world. While the moon is in the sky, every living being is susceptible to the horrific disease. Any humanoid who contracts Daemonblight immediately manifests the first symptom - black spots of skin concentrated on a single limb. Most die soon after from the power of the corruption weakening their body beyond repair, however... Those lucky enough to survive begin to emit an aura of Malevolence, the aura of the Abyss. As the black splotches grow into a daemonic limb wholly unlike what was there before, the few who can learn to control it soon realize that the struggle is far from over. Whether they like it or not, they have now become an enemy to all things good and holy, and will face rejection and violence even from those they once loved. This is the plight...
