MY INNER DEMONS REWRITE/HEADCANON 🤓☝️
- Since humans lived in the same world as Daemos, it wouldn’t be too far off to assume that at one point Daemos and Humans had children with each other. My thoughts spiraled and i thought “hmm why not expand on it” hence this long ahh post
Pure bloods are Daemos without any relations to humans, and because of this their magic is more rich and potent, but not necessarily the most powerful. Most royalty are pure bloods, but few are rumored to be Red Bloods
Red bloods are Daemos with human relations. The blood of these types of Daemos tend to be more purple that Pure Bloods, indicating a mix of Red and Indigo blood. This also brings us to the concept of Heritages
Heritage is a concept used by Daemos to indicate that whilst they are Red Bloods, they do not have direct connection or relation anymore to their human relative.
Remember what I said about SOME royals being Red Bloods? Yeah Asch is one of them
He was born from an affair between his father, the Daemos King, and a random human who was later killed for her soul. Initially, the Daemos King had planned on killing Asch, but Lady Grandma intervened, spinning a tale that since Asch is of Royal Blood and with Human Blood, it could be possible his magic could grow more powerful as he ages.
This backfires eventually due to the magic crisis, and the king believes killing Asch might provide enough magic to sustain Daemos a while longer. This is part of the reason on why Lady Grandma aided Asch in bringing him to Earth, feeling partially guilty for possibly influencing that decision.
Only the royal family + Rhys is aware of Asch being a Red Blood. Although the rest of his knights might figure it out later on 👀?
Amongst all of Asch’s knights, Rhys is one of two who’s actually pure blooded. This is part of the reason on why Rhys can master spells better than the other knights, however this also means his magic exhausts quicker.
Having many brothers who became prestigious knights, Rhys wanted something different in his life and decided to dedicate himself to his studies. This eventually caught Lady Grandma’s attention, who offered him to become her student and master his magic well.
To everyone’s shock, Lief is actually also pure blooded, which is almost unheard of amongst assassins. This allows him to master spells faster than others, but he tends to use it in short bursts knowing he exhausts quicker (hence sticking to teleportation and healing magic).
Lief was abandoned by his parents as a baby, so he never really knew who they were or why they didn’t want him. He was eventually found by a veteran assassin, who upon realizing he was pure blood, took him in and raised him to be an assassin. He was often sent on missions involving nobles and high ranking Daemos because his pure blood status helped conceal his identity well.
Being pure blooded was also part of the reason Lief was abandoned by his fellow assassins, being seen as an imposter or threat amongst the rest of them. Asch, understanding the feeling of being considered an imposter, offered him a position as his knight (although he’ll never admit the empathy he felt that moment).
Noi’s a Red Blood, and one of Japanese descent. Being a Red Blood is partially the reason on why he was given the lowest ranking position, but the knights don’t consider Red Blood as a reason and more-so his gentle nature as the cause.
Unlike Asch, Noi actually got to know his mother before her death, and she raised him to be tough and strong for the world of Daemos, but also gentle and nurturing in hopes of leaving some good for their world. This is also part of the reason why Noi tends to hesitate in killing, but understands it’s necessary for the sake of survival.
After his mother’s death, Noi was taken by the people who killed his mother and forced into a fighting ring, where Red Bloods were forced to kill each other for their souls and small bits of magic in them. Noi eventually managed to escape, and stumbled upon Asch begging for help. Asch had offered him a position as his knight, and Noi accepted knowing he’d have better protection from being brought back to the fighting ring.
Additional but I’d like to think Noi was born during a lightning storm, which was why Noi wanted to harness lightning magic the most despite it being considered a waste.
Pierce has polynesian heritage, but no one really knows he has red blood due to his blood being near Indigo. Because of this, people tend to mistake Pierce for being Pure Blood. Only Asch and the knights are aware of his heritage since Rhal had never asked Pierce about whether he was Red Blood or Pure Blood.
Pierce was one of the few examples of Red Bloods being much more powerful than most pure bloods. Although still unsure how it happened, his supposed mix of human and daemos blood triggered enhanced EVERYTHING for his body to adapt better.
Rather than his magic possibly growing, his body grew instead. This explains his giant-like height and enhanced strength, alongside enhanced senses such as hearing and smell. Because of this, it allowed him to rise the ranks quickly until he became the General of Rhal’s army, and eventually Asch’s knight.
While most believe Pierce was chosen as one of Asch’s knight’s due to his reputation, the real reason of him being promoted was due to the fact his mixed blood had a positive reaction on his physique, something that Lady Grandma, Rhys, and Asch have been looking for in the midst of the magic crisis.
HOLY YAP okay its done I finally got it all out and written down 😭💀. It’s just a general idea though and only for fun so try not to be too heated if my ideas or headcanons contradict canon + your own. Enjoy the food folks 🔥
