Furies, also known as Erinyes or children of Nemesis, are spiritual vengeance demi-demons in corporal form, these supernatural creatures are known to be vengeful but some of them prefer to call it justice or karma. They hold some form of self inflicted responsibility to kill those who hurt others but their vengeance can sometimes differ between furies depending on how they where wronged when they where humans. When a Fury shifts their pupils enlarge pass there irises but not the sclera, their lips and hair turn grey-ish black, they gain pale cold skin along with sharp powerful black claws and black paint like skin running down from the finger tips. Furies tend to be female but are not exclusive to being.
Becoming a fury:
Furies are born humans but can become vengeance demons when they are wronged greatly in life and are offered a deal by the mythological goddess "Nemesis" who is in fact a powerful demon from another world. She gives them a chance to take justice or vengeance by becoming part demon themselves. However if a fury has a child while currently being a fury they can start a fury bloodline causing the Fury species to grow in number in recent years however they are still fairly rare.
Vengeance:
Different furies have different forms of vengeance such as one fury had an abusive father when she was a young human so when she become a fury she inflicted vengeance on abusive parents while another fury found out his wife was cheating on him so when he became a fury he took vengeance on people who commit adultery.

A Fury can also cure people of her claws effects if she wants or needs to however this is unlikely.
