Demons

Demons have been at war with the angels since the great fall of Lucifer, demons have many shapes sizes and forms. Some demons are part of known species, some demons are of completely unknown species. **Demons** are also known as malevolent, inter-dimensional beings that travel between worlds, destroying everything in their path. These creatures come in many shapes and sizes, from slug like creatures to raging avatars of hellfire. All cultures from around the world have their own versions or tales of demons, which are all true. For demons do not only harm those of the Western Culture, but every last human they can get their hands on. Thus why religions from around the world have sought help in battling these forces of evil.

### Demonic Creation

When Lucifer was cast out with his brothers they were now in a new
world, a new dimension connected to earth. This new home was divided
into seven kingdoms, each with it's own leader. The leaders of these
kingdoms were known as princes of hell, each fallen angel soon began to
corrupt into demons. Their angelic powers of healing corrupted into
powers of destruction, some found they could shapeshift at will. Some
began to lose their angelic beauty and become much more disgusting
creatures. These were the start of the demons. Lucifer himself remained
as a fallen angel ruling over his kingdom and becoming the leader of his
 fallen brothers. After a while while heaven and hell began to war, God
created humanity. He created the first man Adam and gave him a wife
named Lilith. Now Lilith was rebellious like Lucifer, hating god and
displeasing Adam. So she was cast out of heaven and the Garden of Eden
unto the earth where Lucifer found her. When Lucifer found Lilith he
gave her great strengths, she was said to become the first human demon.
The first human soul to become that of a demonic one, soon God had
cursed her to never bare children again. So when Adam and his new wife
Eve were cast upon the earth and out of heaven for original sin and
mankind began to flourish. Lilith began to kill children, and helped
condemn men's souls to hell. Sariel The Angel of Death would then chase
Lilith back to hell away from humanity. Though the damage had been
done, now men's souls were being cast into hell becoming ungodly beasts. Some of these creatures reached heights of power unknown to mankind, while others were nothing more than rodents to be crushed under heel.

#### Demonic Powers

The powers of demons range greatly from possession to summoning an element called hellfire that can burn mortal materials such as stone,
steel, and other items. Demons also have biological immortality and are
not harmed by normal earthly metals unless the metals are inscribed with
 runes of heaven or hell. Some demons can practice their own form of magic from summoning lesser demons to tainting entire regions. Demons even have their own
swords created from demonic metals cooled in their own blood allowing
them to kill angels or nephilim with these blades.

These blades are also known to be able to allow the demon to flow
 some of it's own power into the weapon. Now Greater demons can consume
lesser demons to make themselves stronger, to become near god like
beings of power able to summon hordes of demons from within themselves
to unleash upon their victims. Demonic possession is another ability
some demons have, this allows a demon to posses a victim until they
either move onto the next or are forcible removed. This power can be
made null and void by a person having wardings or runes carved into
their flesh to keep such powers away. Rankings of demons are a tad
strange and convoluted at times, since within each of the seven hells
are lesser hells. Such as Satan ruling wrath the smaller kingdoms within
 wrath would be hells like violence or anger being ruled by a lesser
prince of hell. Sometimes ruled by an Earl, Marques, Archduke of hell or
 duke of hell. The powers of each high ranking demon range from how
their powers are and how many demons they can summon. A Knight of hell
would have amazing strength and amazing sword or weapon skills. While an
 archduke of hell could be able to summon other demons to do it's
bidding while able to preform tasks of bringing hell fire to earth and
stealing the souls of the damned.

## Princes of Hell

**Lucifer**: Once Lucifer was once one of God's most loved angels the
shining morning star. Though when he raised himself above God and
attempted to take over Heaven he was cast down. When he was cast down
with his loyal cohorts Lucifer took over a realm and his new kingdom was
 known as the hell of Pride. Lucifer's powers seem to be limitless and
it's best to never anger him or in some cases when forms are changed he
becomes a she.

**Mammon**: Mammon once being a medium ranking angel soon
became the demon of greed and want. His powers have not been explored or
 seen completely. He is known to give knowledge to mankind so they shall
 make items that will create great wealth but along with it greed, want,
 and cause the person to withdraw themselves from humanity.

**Satan or Amon**: Satan was a powerful angel one of the five
closest leaders next to Lucifer, when he was cast out he became the
demon of wrath. The demon that has the hell of burning fire and
brimestone. Satan was slain by one of his many if not hundreds of
bastard children. The now leader is Amon also known as Aamon, he is a
leader of hell now and controls forty legions of demons. His name means
"One who induces eagerness."

**Asmodeus**: Asmodeus was once an angel and has so much
strength even some humans have called him a king of demons or a king of
hell. When in reality he is just a prince like most other leaders of
hell. Asmodeus is considered to be the worst of all demons and had to be
 dragged back to hell by the Angel Raphael himself.

**Belphegor**: The demon of sloth, he is known for teaching
mankind the ways of ingenues inventions then tempts them into laziness.
He is also known to be a demon that insists orgies as a form of worship
and was once worshiped as a pagan god in the form of a phallus.

**Beelzebub**: Beelzebub is the ruler of his own personal hell and is
 considered to be a high ranking demon right next to Lucifer. Beelzebul
claims to cause destruction through tyrants, to cause demons to be
worshiped among men, to excite priests to lust, to cause jealousies in
cities and murders, and to bring on war. He was once a high ranking
angel of the cherubim choir but has now fallen and become a demon. He is
 known by many names one of them being the Lord of Flies or the Prince
of demons due to being such a high rank in Lucifer's court.

**Leviathan**: Leviathan is the demon of envy and his true form is
said to be over 300 miles long. The demon is also said to be the beast
out of the sea from Biblical texts, with seven heads and crowns upon
each head with the whore of Babylon sitting before him. The demon is
known to cause the waters of the earth to boil and become sour so
mankind cannot drink from it, he is said to cause men to envy and hate
each other. Leading from petty rivalries between brothers to all out war
 between nations.

##### **Demon Species**

Demons come in many shapes and forms, nearly uncountable by human measurements. Some demons appear as humans, with the ability to summon their powers at will. While others can only take a demonic form upon the living plain of existence. Fallen angels that have been corrupted fully into demons tend to take on a darkened, or mangled form of their once proud celestial body. While human souls that have been tortured in hell normally become shadow demons, creatures that require a human vessel to remain on earth. Taking over by possession or striking a deal with said vessel.
