Supernal Gifts
Dantalion
Marchosias
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 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.
Julien's Gifts
Julien was claimed by two demons, Dantalion, which the family was very content with, and Marchosias, of which they were less enthused about. Dantalion is a demon with a good range of powerful abilities, whereas Marchosias' abilities seemed so-so, but what really bothered the family was that Marchosias' 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 be good again, to be let back into the light.
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
Personality traits: Quick learner, Musically and Artistically inclined
Marchosias
Abilities: Shapeshifting, Pyromancy, Simple Ressurection, Levitation, Omnilingual
Personality traits: Natural leader, Stubborn, Honest
Overall Most Powerful Skillsets: Illusion/Alteration, Pyromancy and Telepathey
Note that the demons who 'claim' a Blackbourne child are said to not directly interact. These gifts are more of a 'Congratulations for being on the dark side! Here are some boosters, now go wreak havoc, torment souls, or whatever else you wish to do. Don't bother me with this nonsense again' type of deal.
