Nassim gat Kanda

Type: Half-gargoyle (Cabal)

Player: Bree W. (IRC)

Game: Eyes in the Dark (IRC)

Appearance:	Bestial gargoyle with brightly colored fur, mane of hair, and feathery wings.
Origin:	Unknown
Background:	You are not true cabal, you are a half-breed, and though you consider yourself one of them and they accept you, this fact has caused you some grief. You did not know your mother or father. You have always been that little big different from other gargoyles. You have had great difficulty learning the techniques of Body Density and it took you quite some time to master the Cabalic Shields, moreso than other gargoyles. However, the cabal are very few, and there are so few young that they had time to give you the special attention you need. You were raised by a creche of perhaps 8 gargoyles. However, there was some trouble at times. Gargoyles are an immensely civilized race, their minds are glacial, they feel nothing quite so strong as duty and you could tell that your sudden, violent passions and lust for life often confused and disappointed them. You were different. Your passionate nature, by gargoyle standards, even’s out with the gargoyles’ glacial, neutral culture.
Abilities:	Standard gargoyle ability to neutralize good and evil, somewhat extended Water-shaper
Culture:	The cabal are perhaps the oldest race in the galaxy. Countless aeons before any other form of sentient life had developed, the cabal had raised up a mighty civilization, and to this day, their technical and magical skills far outstrip any of the younger races. Unfortunately, their race is ripped by a terrible war for supremacy which began shortly after the cabal had begun to expand out and colonize the other realms, and has lasted through the aeons, unquenched. The war has raged so long that the two factions of the cabal have evolved into sub-races in their own right, though many are still winged humanoids as were the original cabal. The one, the kerubim, are like the mythic gods and angels. The other, the daemons, are the batwinged fiends who dwell in the hellpits of man’s invention. A small group of cabal, however, remained neutral in this fight, joining neither side, and seeking instead to protect the lesser races from the destruction caused by their species. These resemble the cabal of old most strongly, and call themselves cabal still, and they are the gargoyles. They stand for balance, and look to the day when the war shall cease, and peace will return to the Universe. This war spans so far, and the forces unleashed in it are so mighty and so terrible, that many younger races have been witness to it, and their ideologies shaped by what they have seen. They view the winged ones as gods, and they call the mighty Kerubim angels, standing for good and order, and the evil Daemons they call devils, corrupt and evil. In some ways, this primitive view is correct: The Kerubim are presently in power and have been for countless millenia, and it is their policy and their magics which shape the universe as it is today, and the daemons wage a war of terrorism, seeking to corrupt and discredit the "party" in power. On Earth, this war seems to be a cold one, for the Kerubim and Daemons have moved on from this battlefield to fight on new fronts, but no world is truly safe.
Weaknesses:	Changes to black onyx when unconscious.
