Their name comes from their high capacity to withstand damage from most conventional and unconventional means of destruction. The place in which they first appeared and their vague stylization made people believe that maybe they came from some Anime Fiction, but once research found nothing, they were declared as native to this universe.Their specific origins have not been confirmed by any official groups, but a theory that has gotten some popularity on the streets is that an Alternate of Tatewaki Kuno, in his ever-infinite arrogance, used some kind of summoning ritual to create a demon that would fit his specifications as a "proper" target for practicing and it backfired. HARD.The above fact must be emphasized: they are resistant to MOST conventional and unconventional means of destruction. But they have a weakness, and it's a bizarre one.Ballistic weapons. Spells and ki may fail, and swords and fists won't hurt, but a shotgun blast to the face will definitely spell a Fiend's doom.As a result, the firearms market (both legal and illegal) has seen an increase in demand in multiple locations throughout Coreline.</blockquote>
