Abyssal Arch Demon, BB Variant[edit]

An Abyssal Arch Demon, BB Variant goes beyond the pinnacle of its evolution line. This is the final form of the Demon evolution line. This is a Demon that had gained Divinity. Two race hybrids of this race may exist. A hybrid provides all the benefits of the other race and all the benefits of this race; except, all numeric values are halved (good and bad). When evolving, this creature can never be a non-hybrid race. If some means forces this (wish spell, divine power, etc.), a creature of this race loses the benefits of its hybrid race, but does not gain the full value of a pure breed of this race.

Personality[edit]

Demons have a normal human range of personalities, for the most part. Demons however, tend to be more aggressive than humans, and act more with negative emotions than a standard human. Demons, while not ruled by the seven deadly sins, tend to indulge in these more often than otherwise. Avarice, lust, and pride tend to be the most embodied traits of Demons, as Demons who indulge in sloth, envy, or gluttony do not live very long. Wrath courses through all demons, leaving not an indulgence, but intense bouts of emotional instability against slights. Throughout a Demon's evolution, the loss of control to wrath diminishes, but the emotion itself is never destroyed.

Physical Description[edit]

Demons more often than not have a reddish tint to their skin. Often horns grow from the scalp of demons, and wings from the back. Otherwise, demons appear very similar to humans (though internal infernal energy flows may make it seem that a demon possesses line based tattoos that consistently change shape.

Relations[edit]

Demons have the same range of relations to all factions, that is individually, except for Angels. Angels are always despised by a good demon. Racially, there is an aversion to Angels. Well, Angels and abominations...

Alignment[edit]

Demons can be of any alignment except Good. Typically, however, they favor Evil alignments.

Lands[edit]

It has been said that there is not a land without at least one Demon. Demons are perfidious, constantly looking for new regions to corrupt and thrive. Though, originally, Demons live in infernal planes.

Religion[edit]

None. Well, religion is a strong word for it, but lower Demons often respect/fear higher Demons, oft to the point of obsequious worship.

Language[edit]

Demons are trained to know Infernal and Common. They can learn any languages, however, and regularly are known to be fluent in all known languages, even the most rare.
