Difference between revisions of "Demon"

slim body shape; about six feet tall; insectile carapace; six limbs: two razor- arms (like the front limbs of a praying mantis), two normal yet spindly arms, and two tentacles (tentacles lack carapace); legs only slightly thicker than normal arms; compound eyes

excellent psionic abilities, shapechanging

The majirigyousou (more simply known as the "majir") are among the rarest breeds of demons known. There has not been a recorded instance when a majir has assumed true form in front of mortals except in the underworld, for when they travel outside the underworld, they take the form of a humanoid creature, often one that would be seen as ferocious (a garoujin form is one of the favorite forms of a majir).

In any form, a majir's eyes remain compound eyes, and only the size of them changes to that of the normal eye for the race being imitated. Also, all majir that are in forms other than their true one have chitinous plates near their abdomen.

No known majir has died of natural causes, and the longest-lived one known had survived about 823 years.

not always human in appearance, but many times so; have feral, cat like eyes

very adept in magic and the astral plane (see misc), innate shadow affinity; see also miscellaneous

Originally an outworlder race, mazoku came to be native on Gaera due to the actions of an outworlder mazoku named Arnast. Arnast, under the reign of demon lord Malachias, came to slaughter many Domans, using a skill innate to her race to revive these Domans as mazoku under her command. To note, people slain under a mazoku become mazoku with powers/traits similar to that mazoku. Also, the innate ability to be able to revive slain foes as mazoku minions comes with age and/or power.

The Ayenee god Shaburanigdo holds no sway over Gaeran-native mazoku. Gaeran mazoku are essentially without a patron deity, although some might choose to follow Gaeran gods, such as Nikumu, Kayne or Nakibe.

Innately, Mazoku are very adept in magic and the astral plane. Some mazoku exist only on the astral plane and have a physical appearence that is just made so people can see them. Mazoku do not eat like normal races, but rather feed off of negative emotions such as anger and despair. Positive emotions, such as happiness and love, are discomforting or even painful to them.

body shape resembles that of a T-rex, usually about seven feet tall; varying eye colors (usually green or blue); reddish skin tone; cluster of skin between normal eyes on which rests a third infernal eye

always attuned to astral plane, excellent magic abilities, basic shapechanging ability (see misc)

Miganka are a rare race of demons in the underworld, and even rarer on the surface. They are almost never seen in their true form, as they use their shapechanging abilities to take on the form of another creature, usually one that is generally accepted as cute (and often shorter than the demon's true size). Any disguise, however, will always have the third eye, and that eye is generally kept covered.

Miganka use their third eye to see into the astral plane, and also use it as a magic focus. If the third eye is punctured or damaged, a miganka becomes astrally blind until the eye damage is repaired (if it can be), and all magic is much harder for them to use. In miganka societies in the underworld, loss of use of the third eye is a sign of shame and weakness.

No known miganka has died of natural causes, but the longest-lived specimen known had lived 928 years.

human from the waist up; slitlike nostrils; snake from the waist down

shadow magic; enhanced sense of smell; sensitive eyesight

appearance of voluputous human or elven women; fanged; sometimes confused with vampires

There has been a recent movement among female demons to incorporate themselves more into the upperworld, largely due to the leak of romance novels. Which by no means mean that all succubi are nice.
