====Scions====
Sometimes, for whatever reason, a mortal will have a child with a demon or supernatural creature. This child, if it is not miscarried or stillborn, is often insane, deformed, or both (since having six arms and claws made of bronze aren't exactly compatible with typical mortal biology). However, sometimes a very lucky child or "Scion" has a largely human appearance and gets access to some of the badass powers of it's non-human parent.

*'''Changelings''' The most common type of Scion, Changelings are the result of Fae and mortals getting freaky. Their Fae traits manifest at puberty, giving them partially Fae physiology and psychology that depends on their Fae parent. Once they are made aware of their inhuman heritage they may make a choice to either embrace it (becoming fully Fae), and reject it (becoming full Mortal). Changelings are often treated like shit by their inhuman parents, if they are not just outright ignored, though some Fae do care for and love their offspring, but being Fae, they're not exactly great at communicating that love. So they have a Choice between normal human (sane but boring) and Fae (exciting but they're not really the same person anymore). They can decide not to Choose and stay a Changeling in an attempt to get the best of both worlds, but that means that they also have to deal with the both human and Fae baggage too. Changelings are beholden to and considered subjects of whatever Fae nation or Court their nonhuman parent belongs to.

*'''Grendelkin''': Yes, that Grendel. They're exclusively male, very big and strong, and may or may not have some kind of natural countermagic. For some reason, they can only reproduce with virgins, after drinking Mead. The pregnancy is always fatal to the mother.

*'''Temple Dogs / Foo Hounds''': An example of a non-human scion breed, Foo Hounds are said to be descended from a celestial spirit and a mortal hound. Larger than even a great dane and much heavier. ''Very'' strong for a mortal animal, with a few supernatural perks. They can live for centuries and are naturally very intelligent, implied to be just as smart as humans, though they still have a dog's instincts and priorities. Additionally, their bite can hurt supernatural and even ethereal beings, and they can '''B'''ark loud enough to be heard miles away, and across the borders of the Nevernever. They're also instinctively protective of their families and homes, and are almost impossible to sneak up on. All this makes them a much sought after companion for wizards, and they often guard temples, hence the name. The current guess for their mortal breed is Caucasian Bear Hounds with some Tibetan Mastiff mixed in. They are seriously scary stuff to the point where an Archangel refers to one as "Little Cousin".
**'''Mouse''': Introduced as a puppy in ''Blood Rites'', Mouse is adopted by Harry when he hides in the Blue Beetle and misses his flight back to Tibet. Once he gets a little bigger, he accompanies Harry on a few adventures. Sees Harry as more of a roommate than an owner, and ends up inheriting quite a few of the wizard's quirks.

*'''Jared Kincaid/The Hellhound''': A bodyguard who moonlights as a mercenary and an assassin, throw Deadshot, Deathstroke, and Big Boss in a blender and Jared Kincaid is what comes out and shoots you straight through the temple from 30 yards away with a Glock pistol. He prefers to use firearms and he NEVER, EVER misses, how he does this is unknown, Harry theorizes that his nervous and muscular systems are so advanced that he has superhuman reflexes and coordination. He's hundreds of years old and he looks like he's in his late 30's/early 40's.  He also used to be Drakul's(the father not the son) right hand. He managed to stir up the fan-base something fierce by claiming to be "just as human as [Harry] is," which means either Harry isn't fully mortal or more likely, Kincaid was lying. The fandom has tied itself in knots discussing this. Ebenezar has been out for his blood because of an incident that happened in Istanbul where Kincaid broke some nebulous assassin's code.

*'''Goodman Grey''': A shapeshifting mercenary, and a '''professional'''. Apparently the scion of a mortal woman and a Naagloshii, which is all kinds of fucked up.

*'''Irwin Pounder''': The son of one of River Shoulders (Strength of a River in his Shoulders is one of the Forest People, aka Bigfoot/Sasquatch) and Dr Carol Pounder. Irwin doesn't really demonstrate any physical supernatural traits, beyond being a bit bigger and stronger than your average guy, but has great vitality, comparable to that of a Wizard. Harry forces River Shoulders to meet him as the payment for his last case, because "No kid should never know their dad".
