Nephilim
Basic Information
Anatomy
The physical characteristics of Nephilim tend to vary, however, they are generally revered as unearthly beautiful people. Most of these Nephilim simply appear human in form with minor angelic traits, unique natural eye or hair colors similar to that of their parents. Nephilim have glowing eyes like an angel, although their glow is somewhat dim and grayish in color as opposed to the bright white or bluish-white glow of regular angels. A Nephilim's eye color is also related to the angel who sired them.
Growth Rate & Stages
While a nephilim grows within their mother they take in sensory information about their surroundings and when born are imparted with knowledge from both their parents. Often a nephilim will feel the worry their parents do for themselves and the nephilim and while their birth always leads to their death of the mother, they age rapidly in response to this worry once born and be physically mature over the course of an hour. There is a sense of unfamiliarity and oddness as they learn what it means to be alive. Nephilim don't visibly age and have never lived long enough for their lifespan to be categorized. The oldest known nephilim managed to survive 173 years before he was slain by an archangel.

History
Nephilim is a term for a hybrid conceived from a demonic and a celestial creature. Nephilim are considered unholy beings and abominations of the multiverse. A mother pregnant with a nephilim sets consecrated ground they walk on alight and sears the ground of desecrated sites.
Whether the mother is celestial or demonic, carrying a nephilim will always be fatal to them. Conceiving such a being is strictly forbidden by the laws of upper planes and the punishment is death for the celestial parent and the child. The moment of conception is felt by all celestials as a surge of energy, causing otherwise unknown feelings of spitting pain and nausea throughout their being.
