Themon

**Themons** (*pronounced: "thee-mon"*) are demons consisting out of different classes, each with a specific expertise in terms of abilities. They are exclusive to the Sacrifices That Lived series and the name itself is not acknowledged in it, with demons and humans both calling them "demons".

Most of them live in an alternate universe, inside a demon realm of which the name cannot be pronounced or written down in human language. Some reside in Hell, which appears to have closer ties to Earth in terms of universe.

After some of the stronger demons managed to escape and reach Earth, these escape routes would linger and grow, gradually allowing more demons to follow behind and establish a large community alongside humanity and the practise of creating "Sacrifices".

They have a human form and a true form. Their human appearance is thanks to getting exposed to Earth's reality, which naturally altered their bodies to take on this form and fit in to the best of their abilities, while their true form is always some kind of beastly or disturbing creature. Having that said, demons that don't reside on Earth don't have a human form.

## Mentioned races

The following races have been mentioned in the series:

### Blood demon

Blood Demons are the most average, classic variant of demon out there, making them not remarkable in terms of power, but relatively respected as one of the oldest inhabitants of Hell. Having that said, they're not native to the demon realm where most demons reside, but the Biblical afterlife.

They feed on blood, though can have meat as well. They tend to be physically appealing, with smooth skin, black horns, fangs, sharp nails, thin black tails, and red eyes. The healthier they are, the more vibrant the colour.

Their true form shows they're taller, more muscular, and have a slightly warped face, but there's otherwise not too much of a difference from their human appearance.

### Curse demon

Curse Demons can sense and grab control of anyone that exhibits behaviour relevant to their name, though the word "curse" applies to many subjects. It relates to the cursing of people, whether in the form of swearing at them or vengeful feelings, but also when practising witchcraft as a non-magic user or performing religious chants/prayer that request action from any god. Concerning the latter two, it doesn't matter how sincere the target is, as to engage at all counts as casting a "spell", but turns into a "curse", as no god exists and spiritual practises count as pretend and therefore disrespects the truth of nature.

### False god

False Gods are rare, ancient demons who thrive on being acknowledged, respected, and worshipped. Though they're capable of achieving this by taking on the role of a kind deity towards humans, and the powers they exhibit are expansive enough for them to play the role well, they remain demons at the end of the day; and look down on anyone who's weaker than themselves. They enjoy inflicting chaos and violence onto others and can only be killed by killing all who know of them and takes them in regard.

Their true form is often that of an animal, though larger and more beastly.

## Trivia

* "Themon" is a combination of the word "theme" and "demon".
