Demons

Stats

Application race, stats vary.

General

This thread deals with Demons Proper, minor demons as Spawns of the Abyss, other abyssal creations also typified as demons have their own threads.

All Demons are inherently corrupted, and in fact, are the epitome of Corruption. The first Demons were those humans who ventured into the Dark Realm of the Abyss, and became one with its unholy might. The actual realm has six hundred and sixty six Layers, and is split into seven respective sections, for each of the seven cardinal sins.

Abaddon is widely considered the first demon, but this is easily and widely disputed by all kinds of scholars. Demons vary widely in power, as is the nature of their eternal forms and might. To have become a demon proper is the ultimate goal of Demonology.

Personality

Demons vary widely in their personality, almost as widely as humans, but it can easily be told that no matter their words, they have ulterior motives. They never offer to a mortal something that they could not get multiples of what they had placed in.

Culture

Demons have no true culture, but deep within the abyss, each demon lord follows the commands and the guidance of their great lord. IN these commands, they have solace and unity, as well as fashion their underlings and abyssal wretches in accordance with these commands.

Religion

Demons worship none but their overlords, but the worship of various demons, sometimes as Gods and other times fully understanding their unholy nature. In all cases, the actual worship itself is different from one kind to the other.

One thing is always certain. Demons wish for absolute loyalty and dedication, anything but putting them first usually means that you will receive wholly negligible benefits from them and their brood in the abyss. Commonly, personal sacrifices are needed, as they wish to test the loyalty and the dedication of those mortals who choose to follow them. Factions Too many to list. Most Demons have cults dedicated to them. New born Demons, or Demons created outside of the abyss in recent decades typically head cults dedicated to themselves in search of greater power, wealth, or legend.
