Anti-Demon

**Investigation: Anti-Demons**

 **Facts:**

> "One known way an Anti-Demon can come into existence is by altering an individual’s genetics through regular oral intake of a substance called “Demon’s Bane”. Drinking this substance daily to a point which brings the consumer close to death by poison, will inevitably lead to a genetic change. Consumption over the course of three weeks can be enough, but this field is not researched with enough examples yet.
>
>

> The genetic change will remain inactive (sleeping) until a different, life-threatening event occurs that would, under normal circumstances, kill the individual. In this situation, the genetic changes will become active (awoken) irreversibly and start regenerating and reconstructing damaged and lost tissue.
>
>

> After the genetic changes awaken, the eyes of the individual will tint in a bright red. In addition to the usual nutrition, the individual, from here on referred to as “Anti-Demon”, will also have to find sources of energy, otherwise, their regenerative powers are severely limited and the Anti-Demon will suffer the following possible symptoms: Difficulties sleeping, tiredness, dizziness, lack of concentration, shaking fingers, temporary memory loss, disturbance of speech, disability to perform magic.
>
>

> To an extent, the hunger and the resulting symptoms can be stilled by the consumption of demonic blood, Demon’s Bane, or, more effectively, by consumption of the blood of a god.
>
>

> Due to the consumption of Demon’s Bane, which mainly consists of Demonic Blood and Silver, these components will partially but permanently run through the veins of the Anti-Demon, rendering them immune to demonic viral infections, like spread by Vampire bites or Werewolf bites. Their blood will also be dangerous to any demons, if not even deadly, depending on the amount that the demons came in touch with.
>
>

> Anti-Demons are beings of light, the opposite of demons, even if still classified as demons themselves. They can become clerics, healers, paladins, and followers of any good god. They are resistant - not immune - to demonic influences, yet they are weak to dark, corrupted, and undead elements. Magic in order to control demons will have the same effect on Anti-Demons as it would have on a regular demon."

**Speculation:**

> "Anti-Demons are not born naturally. Even though one or both parents carry genetic changes, only their origins can be passed onto their child.
>
>

> Different dosages of Demon’s Bane may have to be consumed over different amounts of time in order to bring a genetic change into effect, depending on species, age, gender, and weight.
>
>

> Natural talents, skills, and abilities decide the form of energy consumption after the Anti-Demon genes awaken. Example: A person with good social skills, talented with languages and gifted with good looks will most likely have to find nourishment in sexual pleasures of mates, comparable to a Succubus or Incubus.
>
>

> A person with excellent cooking skills and a nose for spices, herbs, and brewing, will most likely have to draw energy from other people consuming food or drinks, comparable to a gluttony demon."
