• Accursed bloods are essentially humans who turned into demons
• The accursed feeds into thrill of the hunt of human souls/ blood to help them survive.
• Accursed blood are actually on the verge of death, their soul leaving their body to help zamal gain more power in consuming them(?)
• They try to survive by consuming the souls/ blood of other people to gain their own power and survive/ get stronger
• News about humans involved in:
  • Death, a messy bloody one (consumption of blood)
  • Death, an unknown source (consumption of the soul)
  • Death, usually gaping open chest and no heart (consumption of both)
    • Note: human souls can be “accessed” physically (the heart) or supernaturally
  • Disappearances (either taken as a thrall or just erasing the body)
• Are common news involving a human and an accursed blood (mostly if the death doesn’t look normal/ can’t be easily solved) (maybe this can be my chance on writing mystery deaths like i've always wanted) (who dunnit but the killer is called a demon lol)
• Accursed blood (mostly the "bad" ones) like to “play” with their food (maybe does it on species instinct?)
• This means that the person(s) that they’re planning to devour will be prone to torturous/ nightmarish incidents/ events:
• “Bad luck” (usually just the accursed blood’s fault)
• Haunts
  • “Apparitions”, seeing things/ people that shouldn’t be there
  • Hearing voices
  • Feeling like you’re being watched
  • Anything that makes the human scared for their life/ mortality
• The more fearful they are, the more the accursed blood enjoys it (seen as a way to feel more powerful and above human blood)
• sometimes
• (sometimes humans who know the signs hire a hunter to act as a bodyguard)
• Other common instinct of the accursed blood is to “turn” others into accursed blood as well
  • Seen as a way to get stronger/ immortality
  • Sees human blood as weak, wants others to survive
  • (big maybe) fear of death/ zamal consuming their own soul
• Hunters keep watch around the city/ town/ area for these deaths/ disappearances
• They wield guns for protection
• They wear masks to avoid themselves for being an accursed blood’s next target
• Accursed blood consuming another accursed blood is seen as taboo and generally an unspoken rule to not do it.
• Holy blood is like poison to the accursed blood
• Consuming blood/ flesh sates their hunger once a month
• Consuming a soul/ heart sates their hunger once a year
• Consuming both blood and a soul sates their hunger for more than a year (depends on how much blood is consumed, mostly fueled by the soul)
• Starving accursed blood are generally weaker, more “human” as their powers get weaker (but can still be used), and can be easily captured/ killed
• Maybe their soul eventually goes to zamal?
• However, they get more unpredictable, sporadic, irrational, and desperate, leading into messy kills (commonly ends up w/ them getting caught?)
• “Over eating” is dangerous for them, as they can lose their sense of humanity and become a ruthless serial killer, killing and consuming anything (turning them into a monster, beyond/ non human)
  • I kiiinda wanna make an exception to those of the Gluttony type but that’s so op and bullshit lol
• “Good” accursed blood are those who live in hiding from humans, holy blood, and accursed blood (generally just pretending to be human)
• They don’t like the idea of haunting others/ using their powers (fights the instinct?)
• Lives in regret of accepting the cursed blood?
• Common in accursed blood in hunter groups
• They sate their hunger by hospitals, funeral homes, etc. (of course, those of the accursed blood who work there) but it’s mostly just the blood
• Some blood donor sites disguise themselves as a regular blood donor site but really just for accursed blood consumption
• accursed blood thralls maybe
• Do they eat human food? … sure i guess, i mean they were once human, so I guess it’s like feeding the human side of them

• okay so
• basically the accursed blood's soul has essence that feeds into zamals recovery, however, it's fed to zamal so much and so fast that accursed bloods has to feed into other life forces themselves (so in this case, the human's souls and blood)
• the souls are much more preferred to keep them sated since it's the pure essence itself
• but blood is enough to get by
• if they don't feed enough, they
  • die?
  • turns into a true demon?
• if they feed too much they
  • turn into a true demon
• either way, there has to be a perfect balance in order to stay alive and have humanity intact
• their body is already filled with so much malice that over eating produces more malice and thus makes them lose humanity
• their life force being taken every day and eventually turning into a husk of a human and lives no more
• consuming of accursed blood results into immediate true demon form (soul frenzy)
• soul frenzy
• the horns are fully shifted away from the broken halo look
• they can no longer disguise themselves as human/ keeps some demon features
• they have an additional set of horns
• either overtime, it grows or it immediately grows
• and it's curled horns that go into the eyes
• and all they care about is eating/ their id overtakes them

NOTE: these notes below is old so like, these might be outdated/ change as well

• so this is gonna be fun
• accursed in general are creatures that were previously human, that allowed the accursed blood (zamal's blood) to take over
• usually it occurs when the person "greatly hurts another" and has "blood on their hands"
• it can be as abstract or as literal as you can interpret it, from extreme betrayal to actual murder
• the blood from their soul spills onto the rest of the person, showing physical changes
• the blood preys on the person's insecurities, making the person believe in the need of the blood to survive
• the more accursed blood they have the powerful they become, but the blood is hidden in people's souls
• so accursed prey on people's souls
• the blood also adapts to what the person is mostly "sinful" of
• the shadow, fur, parts must all be animal/ plant based, and it can be anything as long as it makes sense to the person's story
• ex. a theif living in crowded areas can have kangaroo like legs to jump high and get away, and avoid getting caught in the crowd

• basic fur patterns to more intricate patterns
• a broken collar and/ or cuffs orbiting the neck/ wrists/ no collar/ cuffs
• wings ("legendary" trait)
