HELLCATS

By Adam Solis ([email protected])

History

No one is quite sure where these enigmatic Bete came from. Some whisper that they are the result of a joint Bubasti and Faustus experiment. Others swear that Nahual and Diabolos had a hand in their creation. No matter how they came about, these creatures are a hybrid of Bastet and Daemon. They have the shapeshifting, regeneration, and Rage of Bastet but they have Vim and Boons instead of Gifts. Their cat form and Boons are no help in determining their origins for they are unique in those areas.

Boons

Corruption, Arms of Ordinance, and Metamorph

Rules

Hellcats can transform into their Crinos form automatically without a roll or action no matter what their breed. Also, they can do the same into their homid form at the cost of 1 Vim. They have most of the powers of Daemon: they can superheat themselves to do aggravated damage with unarmed attacks through heat, they even reform in their Den Realm if killed anywhere else, and they do not age outside of their Den Realm.

Backgrounds

None, other than what common sense would prohibit. Den Realm is all but universal.

Transformations

As mentioned earlier, Hellcats can transform into Crinos without a roll or action and can transform into homid form at the cost of I Vim.

Species

Whatever cat they transform into has no earthly counterpart. Some believe their cat from comes from some kind of umbrood species.

Campaign Roles

Hellcats are usually demon hunters, although they make terrifying bountyhunters. Hellcats are well aware of the differences between true and perceived evil. Therefore they will never blindly attack a creature; it must prove itself worthy of the Hunt before the Hellcats will begin.
