I am, yeah...and I have had the thought before. Never really seemed feasible, though. The underworld...wasn't exactly well suited to starting an actual family.
All things considered...I think I'd be a bit nervous raising a fully human kid. I'd feel like one of us had to be able to keep an eye on them all the time, just in case...y'know.
[Demonic killers wouldn't be above threatening a kid to get at a more powerful enemy.]
Sounds like I should meet them, then. I've seen a few other demons around town, but just because they're blending in with humans and not radiating malice doesn't necessarily mean they're friendly.
A couple either noticed me or either didn't recognize me, had the sense to leave me alone, or really are just trying to get by without having to worry about infernal politics.
Some recognized me and tried to ambush me, but that's just meant an easy lunch.
Top dog in the entire Thunder Hell. Between my electrical affinity and my swordsmanship, there wasn't a lightning devil around who didn't bow their head when I passed.
That was back then, though. These days, I imagine there's a lot of squabbling over smaller domains and power vacuums. It's like when any empire topples...except ironically enough, considering immortals call this the realm of Chaos, it's actually a lot more chaotic down there. Takes longer for things to settle.
See, I understand that. It was confusing when Vergil tried to tell me about it, because he tried to explain all the little details I didn't really give a shit about.
...oh, hey. There was something I forgot to tell you with the previous topic.
[He's an outcast now, after all. Any trip he makes into the underworld has to be brief, and prepared for any significant devil to fight to the death rather than agree to serve him.]

[ But he's not done talking about the kid thing. ]
Do you want to continue your bloodline or, like, give a kid a good home?

...Main problem is, a cambion born of a demon would favor their demonic side, even if their heritage was perfectly even.

It's not necessarily a problem, is it?
