demon
LIFESPAN: varies by subrace
CONCERNED DEITY (DEITIES): Kayne
ORIGINAL CREATOR(S) / EXPERT(S): varies by subrace
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

appearance that is unnatural or comparable to recognizable creatures twisted and tormented into something else; the more a demon's nature is to interact with humans, the more human they look

SPECIAL SKILLS:

shadow magic

MISC:

Higher level demons tend to think for themselves and reign over the other demons, the highest demon being the Master Daemon. Lower demons look and behave more animalistic.

majirigyousou
LIFESPAN: see misc
CONCERNED DEITY (DEITIES): Kayne, Lucio
ORIGINAL CREATOR(S) / EXPERT(S): Divinegon2130
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

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

SPECIAL SKILLS:

excellent psionic abilities, shape-changing

MISC:

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.

miganka
LIFESPAN: see misc
CONCERNED DEITY (DEITIES): Kayne, Nikumu
ORIGINAL CREATOR(S) / EXPERT(S): Divinegon2130
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

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

SPECIAL SKILLS:

always attuned to astral plane, excellent magic abilities, basic shape-changing ability (see misc)

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 shape-changing 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.

The succubus Sirvix Silvar by artist Nekogami.

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.
