Jinn

**Jinn** are a species of chthonic spirits and are also among the lower ranks of Hell's society alongside imps and mazzikin.

## History

### Background

Jinn were said to have been created by Lucifer before his fall from Heaven, notably during his rebellious stage. According to Azrael, Lucifer wanted to exploit every opportunity to oneup their Father and he started by proving that he too can create complex life. He did that by stealing a portion of the Secret Fire from the Crucible where God uses the flames to shape all sorts of life. Using his powers and mixing it with a small piece of the Secret Fire, Lucifer created the first jinn who went by the name of Iblis. Elated, Lucifer took it a step further by creating more like Iblis and were called the Jann who were the ancestors of the Jinn.

### Fall to Hell

However, Lucifer was found out and God forbade him from ever using the Secret Fire again while also banishing Iblis and the rest of the Jann from Heaven. After the war in Heaven, Lucifer discovered that Iblis and the remaining Jann made a home for themselves in the barren underworld but Lucifer proclaimed that since he took this realm for his own as a kingdom they should still be subservient to him especially since he had a hand in creating them. Iblis and the Jann, however, refused and wanted to be their own individuals and a brief clash almost ensued until Samael stepped in. He allowed Iblis and the Jann their own autonomy and regional rule but the rules of Hell were first established by them and thus must follow it in according to their will. Iblis and the Jann begrudgingly accepted and as hundreds of millenniums pass the Jinn would follow suit and become part of Hell's growing society.

## Description

Much like imps, Jinn are categorized as the working class of Hell's hierarchy, however, whilst imps and mazzikin are used for manual labor Jinn operate on a more "telemarketing serviceable" level. This means that Jinn, which ties into the lore that surrounds them, constantly attempt to advertise various products to demons and sinners alike and also pander to their customers' interests. Essentially they operate like online advertisers and control the telemarketing industry, giving false promises on a certain product that will benefit the demon or sinner and the Jinn makes it come true. However, Jinn are scammers and those that fall for their advertisements have their wishes twisted since they do not read the fineprint.

Jinn are rarely seen roaming the depths of Hell as they are normally confined in closed off areas but they are quite abundant in their own region near the Christian Hell which is Jinnestan. They are also said to have their own hierarchical structure centered around monarchy where Iblis acts as the king of the Jinn while his sons are princes of their own domains in Jinnestan. Jinn are also separated into group types with the most common Jinn that can be seen roaming Hell are the Ifrit. Few other examples are the Jann which are the ancestors of all the Jinn and the Marid whom are the second generation of Jinn that are comprised of Iblis's children. There are others like the Nasnas, Shiqq, Sila, Qareen, and Qutrub. Each species of Jinn is defined by their characteristics and talents in their role within Hell's environment.
