Demons

**Demons**, or **Devils**, are entities who originally inhabited Earth before deities began to flock to the planet. They where eventually cast out of Earth and reside in a different dimensional plane known as Hell. They are known for typically being malicious and tempting humans to be evil.

**Devilmen** are the result of a Human inhabiting a demon's body, or can otherwise access the powers of a demon. The most common method of creating a Devilman is by having a person with a strong heart be possessed by a Devil, with the person gaining control of the body. This method provided the most notable member of this race, and the creator of the term, Akira Fudo, the original Devilman. The second method is when a Demon willingly gives up their heart and fuses with a Human. This method created the Chainsaw Devil, Denji.

**Fiends** are the result of a Demon possessing a Human corpse. The result of which is a less powerful being than that of a Demon or Devilman.

### Powers and Abilities

* **Demon Physiology**: Demons have a variety of cellular differences than a human. They have tissue that is more dense and seems to be made up of different animals, particularly those that the demon has absorbed.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Demons have strength that is beyond human, with even the weakest demons being able to easily throw a full grown human without much effort. Their strength varies on the different types of demon, particularly depending on their physical capabilities.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** Many Demons are notable for their speed, with most having speed that excels beyond that of a human.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** Due to their enhance strength and unique body properties, a Demon's durability greatly dwarfs that of a Human. Being able to take massive explosions and military rounds without much threat.
	+ **Body Absorption**: A unique property of that of Demons is to absorb organic or inorganic materials into their body to alter their capabilities. Demons have shown this path of evolution to fight for dominance, with the more power being allowed to have control over the body.
	+ **Regeneration**: A Demon can regenerate their wounds should they devour raw meat or blood as a resource. This allows them to force their cells to heal at an alarming rate, even bringing a demon back to life should they not be dead for long.

* **Fiend Physiology**: Fiends, on a cellular level, are reanimated human corpse. As a result they appear to be dead humans, but with demonic cells moving the body. However, because of their corpse nature, they lack the body absorption capabilities the demons once had.
	+ **Regeneration**: Like a Demon, a Fiend can force their cells to heal at a fast rate when they drink blood. This allows them to continue to fight for several hours without tiring, due to drinking the opponent's blood.

	+ **Regeneration**: Like a Demon, a Devilman has an impressive healing ability. Devilman have been shown to heal over time at a faster rate than Demons and Humans, but this rate can be increased by introducing raw meat and blood from either Humans or Demons. This ability has been shown to even reattach limbs.
	+ **Willpower**: Devilmen are known to have immense willpower, likely inherited from their human side. This allows them to push beyond the limits of their human and demonic nature. This willpower also allows their human personality to retain control of the body.
	+ **Transformation**: Due to their hybrid nature, a Devilman can transform from a human form to a Devil form. The default is typically their human form, as if they lose consciousness while in their Devilman state, they will revert back to a human. The transformations show now signs of pain to the user, and show no alterations to their human form.
