Demons (Earth-2165)

Demons are malevolent entities that are the corrupted descendents of the many "gods" that were banished by the current Chaos-Gods in a great battle millennia before the universe as we know it came into being: as a results Demons are dedicated to a single purpose - to deprive the Chaos-Gods of their main source of amusement and power - the human race - and enslave them.
In order to qualify as a demon a being must exhibit the following traits:
* Immortal (all demons are immune to ageing, disease or conventional injury)
* Able To Exist In Hell-Dimensions (all demons can exist in the Hell-Dimensions, connected worlds which have entered the human psyche as images of Hell)
* Supernatural Powers (all demons possess supernatural power superior to mortal sorcerers but inferior to most other spiritual-beings)
*Able To Exist Outside Physical Body Via Possession (all demons can exist outwith their own physical body via possessing another)
==Origin==
Long before their was an ordered universe their was the Chaos-Realm, a place of unimaginable horror where many terrible "gods" fought for power - the most powerful of them proved to be Arodnap: the goddess of passion, Ruik - god of ruin and Hjuk - god of strife: these renamed Chaos-Gods banished their defeated siblings into the depths of space and time before they were ultimately banished themselves by the Supreme-Being in order to pave way for a new universe in the form of our own.
However some of these fallen "gods" managed to latch onto fledgling dimensions and fed off them like cosmic-leeches, transforming these dimensions into living hells that they would proceed to rule over - thus the first "Hell-Lords" were born and these powerful creatures soon spawned innumerable children of their own: thus the demon species flourished, due to their chaotic origins many of these demons were still ruled by madness and ruin but a few of them began to evolve more calculating mindsets and began to formulate plans of vengeance against the ones who had banished them.
After a few centuries of debating the Hell-Lords finally decided that all demons should dedicate themselves to the task of enslaving humanity - thus depriving the Chaos-Gods of their main source of power, although some demons refused to obey most knew better than going against the will of the Hell-Lords and ever since these infernal creatures have been plotting the enslavement of humanity..
==Hell-Lords==
Hell-Lords are the undisputed rulers of demon-kind and are the direct result of corruption caused by the downfall of the ancient "gods" - as a result Hell-Lords have more power than usual for demons and are rightfully feared by both mortal and immortal life:
Mickelus (Hell-Lord connected to demonic-flora)
==Higher-Demons==
Below the Hell-Lords are the Higher-Demons, often the eldest offspring of a Hell-Lord or lesser-demons that have proven themselves the strongest or most manipulative:
Janeolous (daughter of Mickelus)
==Lesser-Demons==
Innumerable legions of lesser-demons exist that have no true significance in the Infernal hierarchy but are never the less not beings to be taken lightly as even a lowly imp can be considered greatly superior to your average mortal:
Malice (an artificial-imp)
Mischief (an imp)
==Free-Roaming Demons==
These are unusual but powerful demons that tend to spend more time in the mortal-realm or wnadering across dimensions than in the Hell-Dimensions, they vary in power from lesser-demon status to higher but seldom communicate with other demons and are seen as loners that follow their own agendas:
Insomnia (devourer of dreams)
Queen Of Sorrow (embodiment of all evil in fiction)
