DEMONS

Demons can be any multitude of things; from fallen angels to the children of Lilth, to humans who have fallen to Hell and made a deal. Making a deal with a Crossroad Demon is the only way for a human to become a demon, though more often than not, it goes awry due to trickery by the demon. Demons steal the souls of humans, usually by making deals, and try to spread sin and death as far as they reach.
Demons were originally created when a war broke out in Heaven. Lucifer and a group of his followers rebelled when the Abrahamic God demanded that the Angels bow to his creation, Humanity. The angels who rebelled were cast down, to Earth, then down further, to Hell. These angels would become the oldest demons.
Since their Fall, demons have been trying to steal and corrupt as many souls as they can. Some do it out of loyalty to their king, Lucifer, while others may do it to spite their Father. Most demons see humanity as nothing but a soul to be added to their collection.
There are only two members of Demon Royalty: Lucifer and his wife, Lilith, who was originally a human, and also the Mother of Vampires. There are also four "Keys," which are described by Lucifer as being the bearers of Hell. If these four Keys were ever given the word by Lucifer, they could bring Hell up to Earth, but Lucifer is "too amused" by humanity to do such.
- POSSESSING: Ah, the classic ability of any demon. Demons are able to possess humans and take them as a sort of "vessel" for the time being. This does not kill the human within, but rather smothers them in their own body.
- INVULNERABILITY/IMMORTALITY: Demons are unable to be killed, at least in theory. Though they can be hurt by holy items and holy water, there is no known weapon that can kill a demon, only a demon's vessel.
- TELEPORTATION: Demons have the ability to teleport from one place to another, whether that be on earth or in Hell. This power varies from demon to demon.
- SHAPESHIFTING: Some demons have the ability to change their shape. Whether this is a completely different shape, or simply the ability to shift genders, depends on the demon involved.
- ELEMENT MANIPULATION: Most who have this ability can only manipulate fire, but some demons are able to handle others, such as metal or ice. It is a very rare ability to be able to manipulate anything other than fire.
- HOLY WATER/ITEMS: Demons cannot go near a holy item or place, but instead are repelled by them. If they are touched by a holy item, their skin begins to burn and, if contact is continued, a scar will be left. The same goes with being splashed with holy water, as it causes the skin to bubble and smoke. Those using the holy items must believe in the deity they are associated with; for instance, a Christian cannot push a demon away with the Star of David.
- BEHEADING: Though it cannot kill a demon, beheading the demon's vessel will kill the vessel and thus force the demon to find a new body to call its own. This only works if the demon is possessing a human, obviously, since beheading cannot kill an actual demon.
These are the types of demons that are able to be played: - FALLEN ANGELS: Demons that were once angels. These are the oldest demons, though not necessarily the most powerful. They tend to have a grudge against the Abrahamic God and do a lot against him out of spite.
- BLACK EYED: Not necessarily demons. If you spot a black-eyed human, that simply indicates that the human is currently possessed by a demon. These demons don't have a physical form and instead must take a vessel to deal with humans.
- KEYS: These were Fallen Angels who pledged their lives to Lucifer. They were given their abilities, then sent along their way, since bringing all four together at once would spell the end of Humanity. They are Lucifer's trump card, ready to be played when the time is right. Only four of these exist: Conquest, Indolence, Dominance and Voracity.
- CROSSROAD: These are the most common types of demons. They make most of the deals with humans, though all other demons can also make deals, and actively seek out the opportunity to take another soul. They can be summoned by humans and, because of this, are often the weakest of the demon race.
- HALFLINGS: Other than the keys, Halflings are the rarest of the demon breed. They are created when a demon and a human mate and produce an offspring. Often times, they are hunted down within days of their birth; sometimes, they are smothered by their human parent. Halflings do not live very long, unless they are connected to a strong demon.
