Supernal Gifts
Dantalion
Marchosias
Buer
Explain The Claim
When a child reaches the age of 5, it is ritual in the Blackbourne family (and relatives of) to perform a "Daemonic Claiming". This ritual has held steadfast throughout the past couple centuries. In these "claimings" the child subject to the ritual is by no means possessed by demons, but rather 1 or 2 (1 is common, 2 is rare but not incredibly so) demons can choose to be bound to the child (depending on that child's natural abilities) and the demons own powers influence certain skills and personality traits, in other words that child is more skilled in magic relevant to the demons own abilities that claimed them. For example: A mischievous child prone to stealing is more likely to be claimed by a demon whose abilities are geared towards Deceit, like invisibility and will-bending to make people give up important information and valuables. This child will also have personality/physical traits improved, like a silver tongue and being light on their feet. These demons act as birth guardians and advisors to help protect and guide a warlock's/witch's through their early childhood.
Julien's Gifts
Julien was properly claimed by two demons, Dantalion, which the family was very content with, and Marchosias which was also one they considered to be of their standards--but they soon learned Julien had influence of a third that appeared a few years later, Buer, of which they were highly less enthused about and rightfully shocked considered no one had ever been a chosen of three. Dantalion is a demon with a good range of powerful abilities, Marchosias' abilities are also well regarded and he's a loyal demon to magic users, but what really bothered the family was that Buer's energy wasn't that dark. In fact it was, if you could put a color to it, a light gray. A demon that was semi-eager to do good, to be let back into the light, who even consulted with angels.
Each of these demons bestowed Julien with gifts and traits that helped him excel in particular magics and turn him into the Warlock he is today. Below are what each contributed to.
Dantalion
Abilities: Will-Bending, Teleportation, Telepathy, Illusion, Fulgurkinesis
Personality traits: Quick learner, Musically and Artistically inclined
Marchosias
Abilities: Shapeshifting (must be wearing his correlating rings), Pyromancy, Levitation
Personality traits: Natural leader, Stubborn, Honest
Buer
Abilities: Minor healing of wounds and ailments, Innate understanding of herbology, Astral projection
Personality traits: Philosophical, Morally conflicted
Overall Julien's Most Powerful Skillsets: Illusion/Alteration, Pyromancy, Fulgurkinesis, Telepathy,
