Alten

Background
The Noble family Alten, formally known as the "Chairantsa Covenant". 400 years before the time of the story, the Chairansta Covenent went to war with an extremely powerful Arch-Demon who sought to turn them into his slaves. The Demon was partially successful and the Chairansta were turned into bloodsuckers, but before long they turned the tide. They reversed their curse so that they could feed on Demons and destroy their would-be masters. Shortly after, they changed their family name to Alten and took their place on the world stage as Demon Hunters.

Alten refers to both a race and a family name, as the Altens are technically a stable combination of human and demon that have evolved into a new being entirely.

The Altens engage in a practice known as bonding, where a young Alten forms a mental bond with a human (almost always one of the opposite sex). That human becomes their "master", and helps them to reign in their bestial nature.

It should be noted that in public, the Alten show a nature so refined and dignified that many mistake them for nobles. However, this is more of a game they play to help stay in control of themselves.

Alten's possess the ability to see people's true self or their "soul" if you will and this is one of  their primary way of choosing a partner.

Powers
Physically, Altens are just as strong as a normal human although the are minor shapshifters. However, they burn with an enormous inner strength that lets them do the seemingly impossible. In the presence of a Demon however, they will take on a "War" form that not only grants them considerable power but dampens the demon's own power to almost nothing. In addition, transformed or otherwise, Altens are unbelieveably hardy, capable of taking deadly amounts of punishment only to shake it off in seconds. They are also capable of draining the "corruption" caused by the failed spells of Demons and really anything else.

Noble vs Berserker - Most Altens fall into one of two categorys that defein there phisical and somtimes mental traits. Nobles tend to of regal stature with white hair and purple or blue eyes, their demonic forms are charicterized by black wings and increased magical power. Berzerkers on the other hand tend to have multi colored hair and red eyes, their demon forms are marked by darkend red skin and primarily physical abilitys often aquiring numerous natural weapons.

Weaknesses
The Alten Clan are nocturnal and thus have trouble operating during the day. They are also prone to sudden narcolepsy. Without their masters, Altens are also susceptible to strange bursts of emotion.
