Community Special Race: Demons
"Demons are malevolent spirits that are the direct opposites to
angels, the final stage of an angel falling from grace in which
fallen angels eventually become demons and join hell once they
fully embrace their separation from Heaven. They can also be
created from human souls that have endured extensive torture in
Hell, who's spirits become twisted until they lose their
humanity." - A book describing demons

Bio: Just as there are angels and fallen angels, the third race
that acts opposite to angels are demons. There are many kinds of
demons, from fire demons, to darkness demons, to even the rare
water demon. Some demons even possess animal characteristics,
such as wolf demons having wolf-like abilities. These demons are
usually created from angels who have fallen, in which they
become demons after they embrace their fall from Heaven and turn
completely against Heaven, becoming corrupted enough that they
are twisted into demons. Eventually most fallen angels will turn
into demons, even though some resist turning completely.
However, angels are not the only ones that can be turned into
demons, as demon torturing has figured out a way to torture
souls until their humanity is lost and they become twisted into
demonic spirits over a long period.
Race: The demons can be spawned from either human/supernatural
spirits tortured in hell till they lose their humanity, or
demons can be angels who have turned demon through turning
against Heaven. There are also those that can be granted the
power of demons, such as using demon blood to grant someone
demonic abilities (usually only used for those allied with Hell
that they want to grant demonic power, such as the Hazeldines
who have demons contracted from Hell). Depending on the being,
there are a number of ways to be granted power of a demon,
though most of the time, most people are born as demons.
Depending on the type of being that one was before becoming a
demon, they may gain other strengths and/or weaknesses as well
from the change (Such as humans turned demons gaining demonic
powers based on the demon they become, but have a weakness in
that their old human remains can be used against them).
Weapons:
- Demon Weapons/Items: Unlike angels who are always equipped
with angel blades or archangel blades, demons wield a bigger
multitude of weapons than angels do. While angels do also have a
multitude of weapons and weapons made in heaven, demons have far
more varieties of weapons. For example, demons aren't afraid to
use weapons like guns to kill angels, and many more typically
have unique weapons made for them. There are unique exceptions,
such as the London universe Kendrix who has developed a type of
demonic version of an angel blade which he calls a demon blade,
which looks much like an angel blade but is black in appearance.
In addition, there are plenty of other things like demon swords,
demonic weapons, and even items demons can use. This mostly just
depends on what is available to have wepaons made, and what they
want to make weapons out of, as some demons have even made human
form demon weapons that can take a human form in order to make
them even more dangerous and even used the human form demon
weapons to try and influence humanity to make them compete for
these weapons. For the most part, each demon usually has their
own weapons and items. This also sometimes depends on the
universe the demon is from, such as the Olympus world having
multiple pantheons of demon weapons, and the London universe
having those like Black Sun who develop special demon weapons
for their demonic members.
Demon Abilities:
- Human-Turned Demon Power (Human souls turned demon only): When
a human soul is tortured enough in hell, partially due to the
corruption of the soul by the demonic environment, the soul will
eventually lose it's humanity and be turned into a demon. When
this happens, a new demon is born, one that has the memories of
their human life and is reborn as a demon. The person often
becomes a twisted version of who they used to be, and usually
are loyal to hell by the point they are turned into demons. This
became a great way for hell to increase their demon count, since
they have plenty of tortured souls. A human turned demon has
much more ability to learn certain supernatural abilities than
humans, and some supernaturals can even be turned demon for a
more powerful demon. Human turned demons are usually just as
strong as normal demons and usually have the whole powerset of
demons. Another advantage is that any unique abilities the human
had while human also usually convert over to demonic power once
they become a demon, allowing humans with special abilities to
be turned into more powerful demons. What kind of demon they
turn into might vary though depending on their affinities and
person, as some might turn into different demons, which might
depend on who they are, or sometimes what circle of hell they
are tortured in. For example, a demon frozen in the 9th circle
could end up becoming an ice demon, or a soul burned alive could
be turned into a fire demon, but there are rare cases where
someone skilled in ice power could turn into an ice demon as
well. This depends on the situation, and some might even just
turn into basic demons. There's so many different kinds of
demons that this is hard to classify each and every demon, just
as there are many different kinds of humans. Of course, the few
similarities they usually share is that they are all loyal to
hell, and have pure unholy power compared to things like angels
with certain exceptions. It is very rare for a demon to have
holy power, or any kind of angel power, and even rarer for a
human turned demon to develop any kind of angel or holy power.
Most human form demons often take the form of soldiers of hell,
fighting for hell in whatever the rulers of hell order them to
do, though some do end up in positions of power as demon
generals or rulers, such as the human-turned demon Crowley who
rose to the King of the Crossroads.
- Fallen Angel-Turned Demon Power (Angels turned demon only):
Angels and fallen angels are far more predictable than humans
when it comes to becoming demons. While many still become unique
demons based on who they were before their fall from grace, most
angels who fall into the corruption of turning into demons are
usually easier to predict than human turned demons. The most
known angels turned demon are the demon princes, who were
angelic before they eventually were turned into demons through
embracing their corruption. Unlike humans, an angel or fallen
angel are "reborn" as demons when they embrace their corruption
of sin, or the corruption of sin corrupts them beyond a certain
point. This can happen to a normal angel or to a fallen angel,
though fallen angels are typically more prone to this than
normal angels. Most of an angel's power is converted into
demonic power when they change, barring certain exceptions to
the rule, like the demon prince Asmodeus who became the first
nephalem-type demon. However, angels turned demon are also
typically more powerful than humans turned demon, due to angels
being a more powerful race (usually, but not always), and become
all about power when they turn into demons, as evidenced by
their spirit nature change that converts them from a holy
healing type spirit to a much more potent demonic spirit.
However, the things that must be noted is that while the angels
are more powerful once converted into demons, they have less
adaptability than human-turned demons, and aren't able to learn
new powers as easily, with some having to resort to soul
devouring or absorbing powerful forces in order to make
themselves stronger. Usually, most angels who turn demon often
become powerful demon lords, usually ruling over their own
legions of demons, often acting like generals and rulers of
hell.
- Demonic/Demon Aura Manipulation: Most demons are familiar with
demonic energy, with demonic energy being the basic unholy
energy that fuels almost every kind of demonic power generated
by demonic entities. Demonic energy is fairly basic for most
demons, being an unholy energy that can be used to attack
opponents or be used with certain powers in order to create new
variations of abilities. This energy is pretty basic, and the
opposite of normal angelic/holy energy. Unlike angelic holy
energy though, typically demonic energy is more about power than
anything, whereas angelic power is about purification. While the
two still counter each other just the same, most know how
demonic energies are all about raw power. And at the top of the
more powerful energies demons can wield, higher level demons can
use demon aura, a higher level demon power where demons fuse
demonic energy with their unholy aura to create a powerful
demonic energy, originally designed to counter archangels and
the angels that use celestial force to fight higher end demons.
Both energies are unholy and demonic in nature, being able to be
used similarly to attack opponents or combine with other
techniques. There is also an amplification effect demonic energy
can be used to amp those of unholy nature, which is easier to
use when using demonic aura, as it is a more natural amplifier
to demons than normal demon energy. As many know, normal demonic
energy doesn't do as much damage as demon aura, but costs less
power to use while demon aura does more damage but costs more
power. And these energies can of course be countered by their
holy counterparts. This also doesn't cover things like demonic
spirit energy which is more powerful than most other types of
spirit energy, or many other demonic powers and energies that
exist among more unique kinds of demons. Just like there being
many kinds of holy energy, there are many kinds of unholy energy
as well. Of course, just the same, demonic energies are
countered by their holy energy counterparts, with there being a
holy counterpart for almost any kind of demonic energy/power.
- Darkness/Unholy Darkness Manipulation: Just as angels
typically use light and fallen angels use corrupted
light/darkness, demons use darkness to fight, being unholy
creatures that can fight using darkness. Thanks to this, many
demons are able to manipulate darkness to attack opponents, and
can even fuse normal demonic energy to their darkness to create
an unholy darkness depending on the demon's abilities. Most
demons can not use demonic darkness, which fuses demon aura with
darkness energy, because the two energies are hard to fuse
together without exploding in one's face. However, those who are
trained and experienced enough, or train with those like
Belphegor who use demonic darkness may eventually learn to use
it with enough practice and training. Demons who use this are
able to use shadows to attack others, and use certain techniques
like shadow traveling if they become experienced enough in
learning how to manipulate darkness and how it connects to the
shadow realm but since demons have their own method of
teleportation, they typically don't need to use shadow travel.
Using shadows is actually a bit harder than one might think,
since shadows can be used in multiple ways. One could solidify
shadows to spear others, create a liquid-like shadow to drown
someone in shadows, or even create a shadow mist to darken an
area. There are many variations of darkness abilities, as shown
by fallen angels, and this might not just include normal
darkness, but there might be those who are able to power magic
on darkness (such as dark magic), and those that can power
special arts on darkness, like the dark arts. Unlike light with
is more glass-like nature, shadows are more of a liquid type
control unless solidified. These darkness manipulations of
course are counterable by typical light abilities, and can be
countered like any other darkness manipulation. Unholy darkness
can also be countered by holy power. Just as there are multiple
types of light, there are also just as many types of darkness if
not more.
- Hellfire Manipulation (can be changed to different demon
element): Most demons usually start out with at least one
demonically-infused element, with most demons starting out with
hellfire as their initial power. This mostly depends on the type
of demon, as some demons may start with some other demonic
element, but this is often the default elemental power most
demons start out with. Hellfire is generated in hell, but is
able to be created by demons who have this power, using demonic
energy to generate heat until they create fire from their
demonic power, generating a powerful crimson flame that burns
hotter than normal flames. Some can even summon hellfire from
hell itself, in which summoned hellfire can be used much more
easily since it doesn't have to be created. This is usable just
like normal flame manipulation, such as burning others, creating
fireball attacks, creating constructs of flames, or even
creating explosive attacks. This fire is an advanced fire
manipulation, and does a combination of fire and demonic energy
damage when used. More advanced users can use hellfire for
other, more advanced purposes, such as creating lava type
attacks or molten object attacks, but this not only requires
advanced control training, but also requires being able to
change the fire's form into more of a liquid type flame,
something only advanced fire manipulations can do. Typically,
most demons only start with this before awakening their own
unique demonic type powers, and some can even lose this if they
have certain abilities, such as the demon Leviathan who is a
water type demon and lost his ability to generate hellfire in
favor of generating demonic water manipulation. This is
counterable just like normal flames, though one has to keep
track of the fact that the flames burn much hotter than normal
flames, so one needs higher level ice manipulation, or a
powerful holy energy manipulation that can counter the demonic
element.
- Demonic Presence: Almost all demons have some sort of demonic
presence, which many have learned to weaponize. When a demon is
present, most have some way that it shows when they are around.
This is different depending on the demon and their abilities.
Those with stronger auras may have enhanced aura or some may
have more subtle presences. Usually, anytime a demon is present,
most will notice the smell of sulfur, or sulfur might be left
behind by demons, as a product of their power that comes from
hell and of their demonic energy. All demons have some sort of
presence that they give off and many generate this sulfur. This
is unique to most demons, though most usually either have a
strong unholy aura, or they have a strong presence that can be
felt. Most demons are able to suppress this presence so others
can't sense them usually, but the demons do still leave behind
sulfur, which is something that tends to happen passively. This
is mostly just an effect of a demon's presence in an area, an
effect that actually tends to make them easier to track.
However, there is an advantage to this, as some demons have
learned to weaponize this presence. Some use this in combination
with other demonic abilities, generating sulfur for their own
purposes, usually those with a more scientific understanding of
how sulfur interacts with other elements. This eventually became
a weapon that many normal demons without presence powers can
use, where they can do fight others using their presence's
sulfur, such as using molten sulfur as an explosive substance,
or a water demon using sulfur to create sulfuric acid
manipulation. Though some demons like Lucifer or Asmodeus may
light up an area with their presence, or some demons have unique
effects like areas growing strong with energy or storms
appearing overhead for more powerful demons with weather
manipulation abilities. However, even demons with unique
presences have learned to weaponize their presence somehow. This
usually just depends on the demon and their affinities, as well
as how their power interacts with their presence.
- Demon Telekinesis/Shockwaves: Most demons have some form of
demonic telekinesis that they gain when they become a demon, in
which they can grab, throw or hold things. This is useful for
dealing with opponents, in which most demons can telekinetically
throw or hold opponents depending on how their telekinesis
manifests. Some can also use this to throw objects or grab
objects with a hold and move it to them, which is a typical
ability. This telekinesis can also be focused by some demons
into shockwave techniques where they are able to fire
telekinetic shockwaves at opponents to do concussive damage,
with some being able to only use this in shockwaves, and some
are only able to grab things with their telekinesis. Some who
are more powerful can also do things to affect people, such as
using this on their voice box to silence them, or using this on
certain objects to crush them in a telekinetic hold. Some more
advanced demons can even do things like heating up objects with
their telekinesis, or even generating electrical power depending
on how they use it. Depending on the technique and skill of the
demon, almost all demons have to concentrate to use this, in
which opponents can break free by breaking their concentration.
Usually the best way to break a demon's concentration is to
attack them, in which they are forced to focus on the
telekinesis or the attack. This power can be resisted against by
stronger opponents, as some can slightly overcome the
telekinetic hold. It's also possible to move fast enough to
avoid getting grabbed by telekinesis if one simply moves faster
than the telekinetic grab can grab them, which requires immense
speed to be able to move completely out of an area within one
fourth of a second (roughly). This can also be countered with
other telekinetic style abilities.
- Demon Possession: Just like angels and fallen angels, demons
have two main choices when possessing people. Their first option
is often the most used option availaible, in which they possess
others. Unlike angels who require permission from a host before
possessing them, demons simply possess their hosts forcefully,
usually overpowering their consciousness and suppressing the
host. This is beneficial for demons, and the longer they keep
someone under their control, the easier they learn to control
their host. While they can do voluntary possessions if a vessel
is willing, it is usually rare for someone to offer themselves
up to a demon, so it often becomes necessary to forcifully
possess someone. Unlike angels who require permission, this is
useful for demons because they will often try to find strong
hosts they can forcibly control and use their power to fight
their enemies. However, there are a few downsides to this
method, just as angelic possession has it's downsides. The first
is that stronger minds might be harder to suppress and control,
which can cause the demon to have to fight for control, and can
sometimes even be forced out if the person is strong willed
enough, especially if certain exorcisms and Enochian sigils are
used to weaken the demon. The second is that supernatural
hunters tatoo a certain mark on them that acts like an
anti-possession ward, and anyone with this ward cannot be
possessed by a demon (even though they can be possessed by
angels since angel possession is voluntary). Because of this,
demonic possession has it's own downsides, but usually most
demons use normal humans or weaker supernaturals anyway, since
they don't want to possess people with minds strong enough to
fight their possession. This possession is more often used when
one wants to possess someone with unique abilities, ones that
the demon wants to use themselves.
- Demonic Shapeshift: Similar to angels who shapeshift, demons
are able to do this as well. Normally many demons take a
smoke-like form when in their normal state due to being
corrupted spiritual beings normally, but demons have learned how
to shapeshift their smoke and shapeshift into other beings.
Thanks to this, this provides them a way to manifest themselves
in the real world without needing a possession. This is usually
made even more effective by more unique demons who might use
this to grant themselves unique traits, such as a bird-type
demon manifesting bird wings to fly, or a wolf demon having
claws. This mostly depends on the demon, with some even
weaponizing their normal smoke-like form (if they have the form
to use), where they can change the smoke of their being that
makes up their body into weapons and battle with a type of
demonic smoke body manipulation not that different from the
Darkfire elemental form power. This depends entirely on the
demon and how creative they can get with this power, since it
just requires them knowing what form and presence they want to
take. However, just like angels, their mass stays the same no
matter what form they turn into, so turning into a larger form
won't make them a larger being, and turning into something like
a dragon might actually make them weaker because they'd be
easier to cut through thanks to having less mass. Usually, any
demon can still be hurt no matter what form they are in, and
weapons that can attack spirits (Such as soul reaper zanpakutos
and death wraith soul swords) can still hurt them even if they
are in their smoke-like form.
- Demon Ally Healing and Corruption: Unlike angels who heal and
purify, demons don't need to "purify" unholy power. Instead,
they fight holy power by using the power of corruption. If one
of their allies is hurt, a demon is able to fix their allies
with their demonic power, and can fix damage done to other
beings allied with them. This power works similar for demons how
an angel's healing and purification power works for them, where
they use this to fix each other, and heal those afflicted with
holy afflictions. Because they are purely unholy in nature,
demons get rid of holy effects using this method, by using their
power of corruption to remove holy afflictions that might affect
them and their demonic allies. They are also able to heal
others, similar to an angel, by removing injuries and some
illnesses, though this power is very rarely used by demons.
Demons typically don't use this power unless they are healing
another demon, or helping an ally. They also rely on this
partially to break holy wards, by using their corruption to
slowly break a holy ward. This means that demon wards can be
broken using this power, but this might take a while depending
on the demon and how powerful their abilities are. They do also
have restoration powers to a degree, where they are able to fix
objects that are damaged or broken, which is another power that
they rarely ever use. Typically, their powers of healing and
restoration are similar to an angels, except for their
corruption to remove holy afflictions being different from
purification for the obvious reasons of this being made to
counter holy power rather than use it. Stronger demons have
stronger abilities to do this, just as stronger angels have
stronger healing and purification abilities.
- Demonic Resurrection: Just like angels, a demon is able to
bring someone back to life. Demonic resurrection is able to
bring the dead back to life, which is easier for demons than
most beings. Thanks to their abilities, they are usually able to
resurrect anyone they desire to, as long as certain conditions
are met. However, there are some things to note with this. The
first is that they must have the body and the soul of the person
they are trying to bring back. They can bring someone back with
just the body of the person who died, but that can be a double
edged sword since bringing someone back without a soul can leave
them in a state of being unable to feel emotions, and it could
become a problem later. Usually, they can bring souls from hell
pretty easily since they have easy access to hell, but taking
souls from heaven is impossible for demons without the consent
of heaven, since demons don't have any status with heaven and
cannot get into heaven to steal souls, which can be a chore to
convince heaven to let them bring someone back. For the most
part, this is only done in rare circumstances, usually requiring
a heavenly decree, or requiring the permission of either Death
or Toranoraos (usually both) before even demons will even
attempt to bring someone back, or it is someone they really
need. This also takes a great amount of energy from a demon, and
even a high level demon can use up a lot of power to do this.
The other downside is that demonic resurrections usually require
a price, usually a life for a life, as that is the price of
bringing someone back. The recoil effects like taking a piece of
someone don't happen with demonic resurrection like they
typically do with black magic resurrections, unless the demon
doesn't properly pay the price of bringing back the person.
However, the only demons usually allowed to do this are high
level demons (usually demon princes).
- Demonic Ally Amplification: Demons are able to amplify those
that ally with them, in which they are able to strengthen their
allies in other beings (typically empowering each other). The
most common use of this is when an demon empowers another demon,
and the demon becomes much harder to damage, and does more
damage to opponents. Some demons have been able to also grant
specific other defenses to others, such as some demons granting
defense against certain abilities, like using this power to help
protect them from flames or lightning powers to a degree. This
usually depends on the demon and their abilities, as every demon
typically has some unique way to amplify someone, whether it's
granting them temporary immunity to flames, granting them
regenerative abilities, or even some who can make someone's skin
hard enough to resist bullets. This amplification works on
demons as well as other supernaturals, and typically works best
when they are allied alongside others who are working with them
amping the demon as well. This was originally designed for
guardian angels who developed this power in order to help
protect the people they would guard from harm, but was adapted
by demons into a way for them to use this to empower their
allies. Demonic enhancement is far more powerful than angelic
enhancement, but over time, if overused, can damage a being due
to the immense spiritual power of demons. Because of this,
demons have to be careful, and only use this when absolutely
necessary. Unlike angels who use this on humans, demons mostly
use this on each other, though sometimes they have human
followers they might empower if they are working with followers.
- Demonic Enochian Warding: Demons are able to wards on people
and places, with this being another power that lets them counter
angels using Enochian by burning demonic runes on surfaces.
Usually, when demons do this, they are able to use their power
to burn wards and sigils on surfaces in order to ward them
against angels or even fallen angels. They are able to do things
like warding against angels, in which they would be able to use
this to keep angels from entering an area they don't want demons
in, or they could use this to even ward against fallen angels
depending on what the wards used. When used on people, demons
can do this a few different ways, with them mostly being used
the same way. Unlike angels, demon wards are all about either
casting out angels, or keeping them out of areas, though they
can also use this to help ward their followers against angelic
tracking. Usually, demons can do this by either burning the
demonic runes onto a person's skin, or they can burn these into
someone's bones outside of physical view. These wards are pretty
useful, and only those that know Enochian can use counter sigils
or spells to remove these, and angels/demons that can remove
these have to know they're there and where they are on the body.
Typically, this is a much more advanced type of warding than
typical warding, and use special Enochian runes to create
powerful wards against a multitude of threats (Though angels and
fallen angels typically are the major things demons are
concerned about). However, strong enough counters can counter
these, like a powerful enough angel or angel group could break a
warding on an area, or warding against possession might not work
in certain circumstances if the opponent is stronger than the
ward. This also typically only works on specific circumstances,
such as angel wards only working against angels, and fallen
angel wards only working against fallen angels.
- Demonic Enochian Exorcisms: For a long time, demons didn't
know how to kill angels, since angels regenerated from
everything a demon threw at them. However, this didn't stop
demons from finding ways to get rid of angels. Instead of trying
to kill them, demons developed spoken exorcisms that they could
use to send angels back to heaven, or use special sigils to cast
an angel out of an area. While demons these days can kill angels
(if they have the weapons and want to do it), they still learn
this ability as a good way to cast out angels. Demons have to
main sets of exorcism type spells. The first is for angels,
where they have developed major exorcisms for casting angels
back to heaven, and the second is for fallen angels to cast them
to a random location on earth. This doesn't keep angels in
heaven forever, but does keep them from coming back for at least
a few hours, usually enough time for a demon to have relocated.
They can also cast angels out of vessels using spoken exorcisms,
where they are able to use this against strong angels with
stronger vessels. Typically this was used by demons when they
couldn't kill angels, which isn't the case anymore, but this can
still be used against stronger angels they can't beat if they
can speak the whole exorcism on the angel, though it's rare for
an angel to just let a demon exorcise them, so a demon should
obviously expect resistance. Typically, there are situations
where exorcisms are useful, but most times, using sigils to cast
an angel away is better than using spoken exorcisms, since it
requires less prep work, and spoken exorcisms can be somewhat
lengthy at times. Fallen angels and angels do have to be cast
out differently, so one has to also know the difference between
the two exorcisms. They do have smaller exorcisms for other
things, but angels and fallen angels are usually a demon's main
enemies, so their exorcisms are mostly focused on them.
- Demonic Mind Manipulation: Unlike angels who mostly just knock
someone unconscious, demons have the ability to manipulate minds
of people, usually planting suggestions or orders into their
minds. Similar to the sleeping touch power of angels, this is
done with demons through physical touch, in which the demon
touches the forehead and then implants any orders or
manipulation using this power. Unlike angels who typically do
this to avoid fighting, demons use this in order to manipulate
humans and other beings they want to use, with most of them
being able to use this on anyone who is able to be manipulated.
While this doesn't work well against those that can resist or
are immune to mind manipulation, this is often a good way for
demons to use people to get information, since they can plant
orders and manipulate them to do something for them so that they
don't have to do it themselves. They are also able to manipulate
memories, just like angels are able to with their sleeping
touch. This works much the same way, where demons simply have to
figure out what they want to remove or change. However, if a
demon tries to remove a memory, they have to be careful, because
if they don't replace the memory, then a blank spot will appear
in the victim's mind and could cause the victim's mind to fill
the blank spot with unconscious memories (sometimes of the demon
manipulating their mind). This power is only usuable on normal
humans and weaker supernaturals, and is only really used for
demons who want to use people to get information, so they can
manipulate someone into getting them information from somewhere
they cannot go, such as a place that is warded against demons,
or a place they don't want to be tracked to. For the most part,
this is used different from an angel's sleeping touch, but has
the same weaknesses as their sleeping touch power.
- Demonic Teleportation/Space and Time Travel: This ability is
one that most angels, fallen angels and demons share, in that
almost all angels and demons can teleport. Not only can they
teleport around, but they are able to teleport to other realms
as well, such as going back and forth from heaven, earth and
even going to the Veil where dead spirits reside. This is most
often used to travel back and forth between Earth and Hell. Some
demons are even skilled enough that they can bend time and
travel through time either by themselves or with others. Due to
this, most demons are able to travel in some way through time
and space fairly easily. While traveling to certain places, like
traveling time, takes a lot of energy, most demons can use basic
teleportation to travel around as they desire. Some demons even
teleport differently, such as some might disappear in a burst of
hellfire, or some might vanish, or some even leave sulfur
presence behind as they teleport away. When used, the demon does
have to know where they are going, or else they might travel
somewhere randomly and get lost. This is especially important
when traveling between realms like going from earth back to
hell, where they might get lost in between if they don't know
where they're going. However, most demons know the path between
hell and earth well, and aside from sometimes not knowing where
specific places are, they typically have no problem traveling
there if they know where they are going.
- Demonic Astral Projection/Dream-walking: Ever since ancient
times, demons have been able to use their spiritual like being
to go back and forth from manifesting as spirits just like
angels. The main use of this was to be able to appear in dreams,
a power that demons have used to convey messages to people
chosen by hell or tried to decieve humans by posing as angels in
the past. Unlike most beings who separate their spirit, a demon
is able to turn into a spiritual being, in which they can enter
the astral plane and react with not only dreams, but can also
interact with dead spirits, and some intelligent spirits that
are not dead spirits. Demons are able to go to the Veil where
dead spirits are usually found, or the demon can attempt to go
to the Spirit Realm, which is a realm where natural spirits
reside, if they are able to perceive the spirits (Though this is
usually a dangerous trip requiring special training to get into
the spirit realm due to it's unique spirit perception required,
and demons are usually cast out of the spirit realm). Typically,
demons usually go more to the Shadow Realm, where dark spirits
reside outside of the death wraith controlled territory, which
is much better for them. This lets users commune with the dead,
and with spirits that can be perceived. Of course, the biggest
use for this is to interact with spirits, but also if one is
trying to interact with a dead spirit, it is much easier to do
so in astral projection than in physical form. The other main
use of this is going back and forth from dreams, in which demons
can also enter the dream realm, though usually in a limited
fashion where they can only interact in dreams and cannot access
the full dream realm or create dreams in the real world like
many dream demons can.
- Destroy Heaven's/Hell's Gate Pieces/God Fragments (High Level
Demons Only): Very rarely, higher level demons or archangels at
around demon princes or archangel levels can destroy pieces of
heaven and hell gates which are not able to be destroyed by
normal demons and angels, which would normally be used to weaken
most angels or demons using opposing forces (IE using a Heaven's
gate piece to weaken a demon). While the demon/angel can still
gain enhancements from their force, such as demons getting amped
power form Hell's Gate pieces, or angels getting amped power
from Heaven's Gate pieces, demons and angels with this power can
choose to destroy the pieces instead if they pose a threat.
Another power that higher level angels and demons have is that
they can often destroy god fragments once their power grows high
enough by overcoming the fragment with their own power.
Destroying any of these doesn't kill those who have these pieces
or fragments fused to their souls, but instead just makes them
lose whatever benefit the fragment and pieces give them. This
technique requires immense power to use, and only the highest
level angels and demons can ever hope to be able to do this.
However, while being able to destroy a god fragment may sound
impressive, it's really not as impressive as it sounds since god
fragments are very small bits of God's power as it mostly just
means that one is around demon prince power.
Hell Generated Abilities:
- Hell Generated Abilities and Summoning: Depending on the
demon/human and their demonic affinities, those with demonic
power can learn to summon powers generated by certain circles of
hell depending on the abilities they can use. Most can learn up
to 4 different abilities, with some higher level demonic
opponents being able to learn more. Usually, only opponents
close to or at demon prince level can learn more than four of
these abilities, and usually they have to be abilities the demon
can use, such as a blood manipulator being able to use boiling
blood. These can help enhance a demonic power user's combat, as
well as granting them access to powerful demonic forces of hell
which can help them create stronger attacks or use demonic
elements specifically spawned in hell. Each of these abilities
comes from a different part of hell, with each having their own
strengths and weaknesses, as well as some having other abilities
that normal elementals don't have, such as cold wind being able
to feed on lust energy. Though just as they have their own
strengths, each has weaknesses, and are counterable by counter
elements and abilities. These are mainly used by demons or demon
hybrids who want to use these to enhance their current
abilities, such as a bat demon using boiling blood to drink
blood and make themselves stronger, or a fire demon using
hellfire generated in hell to try and overpower an opponent.
- 1st Circle Darkness of Despair: This summons the power of
darkness from the 1st circle of hell, where those who are
somewhat virtuous non-believers and pagan's go. The darkness
here is an unholy darkness, which dwells in a cave that souls
wander for eternity desperate to find God. This darkness is a
powerful dark energy mixed with unholy energy, and became the
basis for the unholy darkness power demons use, including being
the inspiration for Belphegor's demonic shadow technique. The
user can use this to create a mist to encase an area in
darkness, or use it to attack opponents. When those come into
contact with this darkness, it infects an opponent, and
increases their fear and despair emotions artificially in a
matter similar to a fear toxin, or it can be used to attack
people using darkness like other darkness techniques. However,
it does have to be done through infecting an opponent with this
attack, and can be purified with holy power. However, if they
are infected, then even the most advanced people with
disciplined mind or other mind resistant powers will have
trouble resisting this power as it is an infection and not a
mind alteration. Some strong willed opponents can still fight
this to a degree though. This darkness can still be countered
with light or holy energy, since it is still darkness.
- 2nd Circle Winds of Lust: This summons the unholy winds of the
2nd circle of hell where souls who live their lives for lust are
violenty thrown around and torn apart by unholy winds. These
winds are not only more powerful than normal winds, but can
actually be used to tear people apart if they are caught in the
wind attack. Though this is dodgable as the wind appears orange
and is clearly not something someone wants to be hit by. This
wind manipulation has the power of demonic energy infused into
it, with this wind being able to be used like typical wind
attacks, from doing things like creating shockwaves, to slashing
waves, and even concentrating certain types of air in order to
do more damage. This is similar to how a normal wind user would
use this ability, except that it also does heavy demonic damage.
For the most part, these air waves can also feed on the power of
lust, growing stronger with more piercing power if they are able
to absorb lust energy. This is very useful for those with lust
manipulation, since this power is designed to take advantage of
those with lustful natures. This is still counterable like
typical wind manipulation, with earth manipulation being the
best counter.
- 3rd Circle Demonic Cold Rain: A very cold rain that comes from
the sin of gluttony. While it doesn't freeze people instantly,
it is cold enough to cause hypothermia very fast when used
effectively. This unholy rain creates a power of water that can
counter powerful fire magic much more effectively than many
other forms of water powers. This allows users to summon this
rain in the form of waves of water. While the user can summon
demonic rain to rain down on people, it is also useful for
creating water attacks, which many will find that it works
pretty well for doing things like creating water blasts which
are powerful enough to bend metal or creating demonic water
attacks in other ways. This water has, as one might expect, a
demonic element which allows it to do demonic water damage,
which can counter holy water. This can be frozen into demonic
ice, but it is actually better to use as water, since hell's
best ice manipulation comes from another circle of hell. This
water manipulation can also be used like holy water, doing
demonic damage to people, with this working well against holy
users and angels. This water is still counterable by it's
natural counters, such as lightning or earth. For the most part,
the effectiveness of this power depends on the user.
- 4th Circle Gold of Greed: In the fourth circle of hell, those
with the sin of greed are to suffer being consumed in a pot of
melted gold. This is a combination of an unholy power and an
earth metal power. This power acts similar to lava, and if it
hardens while on someone, it does powerful unholy earth damage
constantly until the gold is removed from the skin. Those that
dodge this power must be careful not to cool the gold if it hits
their skin as this can cause it to stick to the skin and harden.
This metal is demonic in nature like all of the hell generated
abilities, and has a demonic element to it that does demonic
energy damage. This gold can be used to fight opponents, with
molten gold being able to be used similarly to lava
manipulation. It can also be solidified into weapons, which are
highly conductive, making this great for metal and lightning
users. This gold is also in a molten form, which means that
until it's solidified, it has no ability to conduct electricity
or any magnetic properties, making it immune to lightning
abilities while in molten form. This is a combination of metal
manipulation and heat manipulation, creating a highly molten
gold that is designed to trap and contain opponents within.
Using the aura of greed, the gold is boosted by unholy power.
This gold can be best taking out by water/ice manipulation.
- 5th Circle Murky Swamp: This is for the people who commit the
sin of anger, where they battle in a murky swamp for all
eternity. The user can use this swamp's essence which is a
combination of unholy power, earth powers, and water powers in
order to do unholy damage to opponents. This also works in a
manner similar to mud manipulation and can be used like demonic
water in that splashing opponents with it does unholy energy
damage as well as water and earth damage. This allows users to
use or summon the swamps of this level of hell, where they are
able to either use earth and water to create a swamp-like
atmosphere in a battle, or they can use this to attack
opponents, such as using water attacks or earth attacks to
damage opponents. This power is useful since it is a combination
and can be used either together or invidividually. When used on
a battlefield, the water and mud can be used to generate a
swamp-like environment, where movement is slowed down heavily
thanks to the sludgy water. Opponents will also have a harder
time keeping their breath, due to the heavy humidity which can
weaken those not used to swampy environments. This can be best
countered by wind powers to purify an area and perhaps cold to
freeze the water or muddy area. These powers can can also be
individually countered by wind abilities as the best counter for
both the demonic water and demonic earth.
- 6th Circle Hell's Pit Fire: This lets the user summon and use
powerful hellfire in a fight to battle opponents which comes
from where those who commit heresy are trapped in flaming pits
to burn for eternity. This hellfire burns much hotter than
normal flames, and works in a manner similar to typical
hellfire. This flame is much more powerful though, as it's
summoned directly from hell itself and generated by powerful
demonic energies. This does more demonic burning damage than
typical hellfire, with the demonic energy of hellfire being far
stronger than it normally would be. Of course, as one might
expect, users of this can still use it the same way as hellfire,
being able to do things like creating fireballs, using explosive
attack, and using the flames to melt objects. These flames are
used almost the exact same, except that the demonic energy also
burns people using demonic damage in addition to the flames.
This works great against holy fire, and can counter ice powers
pretty effectively. Of course, as one mighth expect, this is
counterable by anything that counters fire, such as water/ice
and wind abilities.
- 7th Circle Boiling Blood: This lets the user summon unholy
blood from the lake of boiling blood in the 7th circle where
violent souls are sent. The user can manipulate the blood in a
manner similar to normal blood manipulators, letting them either
splash it on people or form shapes or objects out of it. This
power usually works best for those with blood manipulation or
blood devouring, in which they are able to use this to devour
blood or use this to use blood-based techniques using this
blood. When used, this blood is highly corrosive, thanks to the
blood boiling and the demonic energy infused into the blood. The
demonic energy also does damage, burning the skin alongside the
heat generated from the boiling blood. For the most part, most
people with special abilities using blood find this the most
useful, since they rarely have to use their own blood in fights.
Depending on the techniques, this can be a very deadly effect,
as is shown by certain blood manipulators who use some very
dangerous techniques that can be amped with this blood. Of
course, this blood is best countered with water or ice powers
best, or using earth powers to contain the blood where it can't
be used.
- 8th Circle Dark Demon Torturers: This lets the user summon
some of the dark demons from the 8th circle where those who
commit the sin of fraud go. These demons not only have unholy
power and powerful demonic energy, but are also extremely
strong, being able to tear people in half. These demon's sole
purpose is the torture of souls by tearing them into pieces as
they do in the darkness of the 8th circle. These demons can be 3
feet tall, or they can be up to 20 feet tall depending on the
demon. Most of these demons only live for one thing, and that's
for tearing people or souls apart. These demons can not only see
in the dark, but are empowered by darkness attacks as well,
being able to grow stronger in areas of complete darkness. These
demons will tear apart anyone they can get their hands on, with
this being one of the hardest hell generated powers to control
since the demons will do what they want rather than listen to
someone. Only demon summoners or people who know how to control
summoned creatures can fully control these demons, and even
doing so can be difficult. The demons will tear about the
closest people they can get their hands on, with them having a
major hatred for humans due to them being made in God's image
(since most of them hate God for various reasons).
- 9th Circle Ice of Treachery: This lets the user summon ice
from the 9th circle of hell, the part of hell completely frozen
where treacherous people are encased in ice. Satan himself was
trapped in this section of Hell, frozen up to his knees for many
years before he broke free. This power is opposite of hellfire,
and is unholy in nature just like hellfire. This is much colder
than normal ice, causing intense frostbite and rotting damage
from the unholy energy much more quickly than normal unholy ice
powers. This ice can be used just like typical ice to do things
like create freezing attacks, generate ice constructs/weapons,
or being able to freeze things through touch. This ice also has
a powerful special ability, where it is able to feed on those
with treacherous natures, similar to how Satan's wrath flames
can feed on anger. When a treacherous person is encased in this
ice, this ice bonds to them and slowly freezes them completely
as it feed on their treacherous nature. This is very difficult
to break out of, though with proper techniques like hellfire or
something to melt the ice, they can break free from this. When
it comes to ice abilities in hell, this is highly preferred over
the cold rain being turned into ice since this can also engulf
treacherous people.
- The Hell's Cage Static Energy: In the lowest pits of hell,
there is a cage where Lucifer is meant to be imprisoned. Though
Lucifer isn't in the cage currently, it still remains in hell
for only the most high level threats, and gives off a high level
power of power and energy due to it being designed to counter
higher level beings and contain them. In this part of hell, the
amount of static created by the cage's power creates a powerful
unholy energy which the user can summon at any time in a manner
similar to hellfire and the 9th circle ice power. This takes the
form of static electricity and can run through things like
static electricity, even though the power itself is not
lightning. This static energy is extremely powerful, and can do
far more damage by running through opponents, with stronger
opponents taking more damage if they are hit by this lightning.
This static energy also has the special ability of being able to
damage even lightning users, thanks to the energy not being true
lightning/electricity. This particular skill can be run through
people like normal lightning, and has the same properties. This
is usually counterable by using an object to absorb it so it
doesn't touch someone. This particular lightning does more
damage to more powerful enemies, but not as much damage to less
powerful enemies.
- Hell's Cage Hook Chains: This comes from the same area as the
Cage (and all the chains are connected to the chains around the
cage in some way), in which the user can summon powerful unholy
chains with hooks on the end designed to spear opponents and
weaken them. Those who are affected by this are slowly drained
of power as long as they are in physical contact with the chains
with the chains and hooks being of the same material that the
cage is made of. These can only be summoned from a 10 feet
radius of the user, as people can't summon them around an
opponent to simply surround them. If they are ensnared by these
chains, then the user can also summon the Cage's Lightning (if
the user can do it) as well to do extra damage to opponents.
These hooks are designed to not only spear people with the
hooks, but is designed so that the hooks can trap and be used to
contain if the user can get someone trapped in enough of these.
When created, these must come from a source, like ground or
objects, and cannot simply appear in the air due to needing a
solid place to form a link to the part of hell this resides.
These chains cannot be seperated from the cage, and if the
portals to hell close, the draw the chains back to hell
forcefully, which means that this cannot be used to contain
people for too long, and cannot be used to drag people to hell
on it's own due to the portals only being big enough for the
chains and hooks and not for people to be dragged through.
Combat Abilities:
- Fighting Styles/Combat Training: Having lived longer than
man-kind, most demons have a multitude of combat experience.
Some have learned basic combat training, though most usually
have styles they have learned from their time among humans, and
depending on the demon and where they spend their time, many
have learned different styles of combat. Depending on the demon,
some may even have multiple fighting styles they've learned over
the years. Many demons tend to be very skilled in combat, having
had a very long time to learn and even master combat styles.
Depending on the demon, they could have any style they've picked
up from ancient martial arts to modern martial arts, to ancient
soldier training and modern military combat training. Depending
on where they've been and what they've learned, there are many
styles out there to choose from, with most demons usually having
a unique mix of skills, and some even having their own combat
styles. Demons typically also pick up fighting styles from
vessels they've had, as they are able to learn through their
vessels. However, each style usually has it's own weaknesses and
strengths with some focusing on certain techniques and some
focusing on certain stats and abilities. This not only includes
combat styles, but also might include weapon styles for those
that use specific weapons. Players can choose which styles to
give their demon characters since most demons will have multiple
styles
- Supernatural Hunter Training/Hunting Experience: Having been
around since early creation and having fought many battles over
the years, most demons are skilled supernatural hunters who know
easily how to fight most types of supernaturals in the world.
Most demons know the strengths and weaknesses of many kinds of
supernaturals, including some like time lords that are more rare
depending on the demon's individual experiences. Most demons are
skilled opponents to face by any race, and knows how to take
down most supernaturals thanks to their experience. Any
supernaturals a demon doesn't know about, they can usually find
information through the demonic libary in hell as needed since
they can still talk to other demons who have gained knowledge.
Since most demons are typically very smart beings and have a lot
of experience to teach them how to handle many types of
situations, they are able to often come up with solutions to
most problems if they encounter a supernatural with an ability
they can't counter. Though demons don't know everything about
supernaturals, they usually know a lot about the supernaturals
they fight, even though there are plenty they don't know, just
like many other fighters since the universe is filled with many
unknown races and beings. While they can handle things like
angels and fallen angels more easily due to experience fighting
them, usually primordial creatures like the The'Galin are
typically outside of the knowledge of demons, usually requiring
someone else to give them information on these creatures. Demons
usually use this to fight angels and fallen angels, since they
are typically the main enemies of them, except in certain cases
like the The'Galin that make Heaven and Hell work together to
avoid the universe being unmade.
- Tracking and Hunting Expert: This is another thing that comes
with experience in being a supernatural hunter, in which many
people trained as supernatural hunters learn how to track and
hunt supernaturals who are threats, often learning the best ways
to track down their opponents as well as how supernatural
hunters may track them if they ever find themselves on the wrong
end of a supernatural hunter (in the case of supernaturals).
Those trained in this learn very subtle things from their
training, like telling whether a foot print is their target or
not by things like the shape of the boot and how deep the
boot-print is, with some being advanced trackers that are able
to identify people by boot prints, as well as also being able to
tell where opponents go thanks to things like walking on plants,
and animals that are unusually silent in a direction. Some even
have a sense of when opponents are near, and can often gain a
sense of where their opponents are going while tracking them. Of
course, with a supernatural senses, this becomes even more
effective as those with enhanced senses can do things like find
traces of body heat, traces of presences, or even just telling
what's around them more easily with special senses.
- Supernatural Exorcism, Weakness and Trap Training: Of course,
every supernatural hunter has to learn how to do things like
exorcisms, and use traps for certain types of races. From their
training as well as their experience, demons were trained
heavily in how to trap and contain supernaturals mostly through
Enochian knowledge and spells/sigils of demonic design. They are
taught things like how to draw angel traps, how to build traps
for other supernaturals, or how to lure out supernaturals if
they try to hide. They are also taught all manners of exorcisms,
from exorcising demons, to using Enochian sigils to cast out
angels and fallen angels, and sometimes how to trap enemy
demons. Of course, as many demons have had plenty of practice
and experience, they also eventually developed experience with
it over time, and can learn new ways to take on supernaturals
thanks to experimentation with their abilities and knowing how
to combine certain exorcisms and abilities. Depending on what's
available, some demons can come up with new ways to take on
supernaturals, and this works even better when paired with their
exorcism abilities, in which they often use a combination of
exorcism and combat when taking on things like angels.
- Master Torture and Interrogation Expert: During a demon's time
in hell, most demons end up having to learn how to interrogate
thanks to certain situations that may require it, like
interrogating a human to find something the demon wants or is
sent to obtain. Over time, demons can became master
interrogators with practice, and can become great at using words
to overcome their opponent's wills when not using their mind
manipulation. Many have even gotten really good at knowing how
to torture some enemies, and usually knows how to get under
their skin through torture or through words. Some demons even
make torture their hobby, since hell is a place of eternal
torment. Most demons tend to use whatever strategy works best
for certain scenarios, such as using force against tougher
supernaturals or opponents, or reasoning with people who seem
scared of them (though whether or not they're honorable or
underhanded depends on the demon). Most demons are great at
playing games of intimidation, and their training will often
leave them with a knack for figuring out their opponents. They
may even know when it's best to make deals with certain
opponents, depending on the circumstances and if they're
honorable enough to keep their deals. For the most part, most
demons are very skilled at making people fear them, doing
whatever it takes to get their job done, and this is something
they have had to do as much as one might expect of demonic
nature. Those that know demons would expect nothing less of a
demon.
- Stealth and Infiltration Expert: Most wouldn't think it, but
demons can be very stealthy when they want to be. This
especially applies to those that hide among humans. Most demons
can be very stealthy beings, being very skilled in avoiding
encounters when they want to, or manipulating a group to hide in
so that they can avoid certain kinds of attention. Unlike some
demons who kill everyone who is in their way, smarter demons
know how to avoid battles, usually as a way to avoid possible
angelic encounters as angels will often appear to stop demons if
they sense a demon. From disguising as humans, and misdirecting
opponents, most demons are very skilled infiltrators, and even
better when paired with a demon's shapeshifting ability. This
has made demons great at hiding in plain sight, whether it's as
a normal human they've possessed, or as something else like
taking the form of a rat to hide and move their way through an
area to avoid other supernaturals. Depending on the demon, some
are smarter about this than others, but many have had to learn
this in some aspect, as most demons know that to survive, they
have to do whatever they need to do, and often times this means
knowing how to blend into a crowd. Most don't go around sneaking
into places and stealing things, but their stealth is more about
blending into groups, and passing as normal people rather than
just trying to sneak around. Most smarter demons who have lived
longer, especially those that don't start out as strong demons,
are usually the implementors of this, and this makes most demons
that hide among humans far more dangerous when people have
trouble finding the demon among crowds of people. Some can even
hide among supernaturals.
Passive Abilities:
- Demonic Wings/Shapeshift Wings: While not all demons have
wings, many do have demon wings that are usually variations of
angel wings. Typically, most demon wings look somewhat similar
to black bat-like wings, which is usually the default for
demons. However, there are plenty of demons who unique wings,
like a dragon type demon might have dragon wings, or a bird type
demon might have bird-like wings. Some rare demons like Lucifer
and Asmodeus who retain their angelic power may also have
angelic wings or fallen angel wings, depending on their angel
power and where it comes from. This depends solely on the demon,
as demons have much more variation than angels and fallen angels
(typically), so different kinds of demons often have different
kinds of wings. Some wings may also have special abilities, such
as some demons being able to fire special demonic techniques by
using their wings as a weapon or using demonic presence as a
weapon by generating it from their wings. Some cases a demon
might not even have wings, such as a wolf demon not having wings
due to being a wolf and not a flight type demon. The other thing
to note is that demons don't use intangible wing suppression
like angels do, but instead, they suppress their wings through
shapeshifting their wings into their back. Because of this, they
keep their wings suppressed. While they can't use their wings
while suppressed, they do have the advantage that their wings
cannot be attacked when suppressed. Some demon wings are even
strong enough that one can use them for defense, with some
stronger wings being able to block certain projectile attacks.
Of course, if these wings are damaged, one cannot fly with these
wings, but since most demons have regeneration, it usually isn't
an issue.
- Demon/Demon Lord/Demon Prince Regeneration: Just like angels
and fallen angels, demons also have powerful regeneration.
Depending on the level of demon, most demons have some form of
regeneration, combined with demon hardskin defense to allow
demons to fix their defense and regeneration where they choose,
similar to the angels and fallen angels. Demons, like angels,
are extremely difficult to kill, and can only really be killed
by certain kinds of weapons like demon killer knives, angel
blades, and special holy weapons. Almost all demons have varying
levels of regeneration, with higher ranked demons having
stronger regeneration if they are more powerful demons (like
hell knights who have much stronger regeneration than normal
demons or even demon lords). While demons are still able to be
killed, it is much harder to kill them than most other beings,
and most demons can regenerate even if they are reduced to a
bloody puddle as long as it's not from something that will
negate their regeneration. However, it is worth noting that the
more injuries they suffer and the worse the injuries, the longer
it might take them to regenerate. The other problem with their
regeneration is that some hunters have learned they can cut
demons into pieces and bury all the pieces so they cannot
regenerate. Demons still take damage like normal beings, with
the only real difference between them and other supernatural
beings being the fact that demons can regenerate things like
their heart and brain, whereas most other beings cannot.
- Demon/Demon Lord/Demon Prince Hardskin Defense: Like angels,
demons also have developed a type of defense using their unholy
auras, in which some demons have developed a harder skin using
their demonic auras, and have made their skin much harder to
pierce in combat in response to angelic hardskin defense.
Typically this comes alongside their regeneration, in which
demons can focus some of their regenerative power into this to
strengthen their defense. The question mostly becomes which
skill do the demons want more, as some prefer regeneration, but
some prefer not taking the damage at all. Typically, this
defense, at its fullest, can defend against normal bullets, and
some higher level bullets, with some showing that toughening the
body can be just as useful in a fight as regenerating injuries.
The main issue with this is that, in order to use it, one must
sacrifice some regenerative ability in order to generate the
power form this, since this power has to come from a source.
Typically demons have a choice of either one or the other, or
weakening both to get a little of both skills. This depends on
the demon, as some may prefer one over the other. At full
strength, some demons and demon lords have often been seen as
nearly indestructible by weaker opponents (even though they are
just harder to damage). Typically, higher level demons like
demon lords and demon prince level demons have more power they
can put into this, but this does still require putting in some
of their regenerative power. When at full strength, demons are
only able to regenerate basic injuries and cannot regenerate
fatal wounds easily (though they still can). This can, however,
be more easily pierced by demonic or darkness power, since this
power runs on an demon's unholy presence/aura. Certain weapons
can even ignore this defense entirely, such as angel blades
being able to instantly break this ability, and celestial
weapons can more easily break this skill as well. This mostly
has the same effects, rules and weaknesses as the angelic
hardskin defense, as it's basically the same power used by
angels.
- Demonic Immunity to Demonic Effects: Demons are completely
immune to the demonic effects of their power. Usually, demons
cover a wider variety of abilities, but overall, demons are
typically immune to unholy side effects of demon power, such as
demon energy poisoning, or the demonic effects of corruption to
remove holy afflictions placed on them. While they can still
take damage from demonic attacks, such as concussive force or
slashing waves, extra demonic effects don't really hurt them,
and demonic energy isn't as effective against them. The main
thing to note with this though is that it doesn't grant specific
immunities to certain demon elements depending on what the demon
can do, such as a fire demon could still be hurt by demonic ice,
but not take extra damage from the demon element (only taking
damage from the ice element). Typically, unholy afflicts are
more effective on angels, and sometimes fallen angels, while
holy afflictions are the main method of hurting a demon. While
they are mostly immune to demonic effects, they are not immune
to fallen angel's corrupted powers, and they are not immune to
an angel's holy power (angelic power tends to act as the
opposite of demon power and can still hurt them). However,
unlike angels, demons are more varied, and some demons may take
specific damage from certain other demonic abilities depending
on the ability, such as demons may take damage from mixed holy
and unholy energy (like certain nephalem who can combine the two
into a unique energy), and may take damage from certain demonic
abilities that might be unique (such as a demon who might have a
corrupted demonic energy power being able to hurt other demons).
- Demon Blood Drinking/Demon Blood Enhancement (All demons): It
is worth noting that demon blood is demonically charged, in
which demons have extremely strong blood. This is something that
can not only have an effect on increasing a demon's power
passively, but can be strengthened by drinking the blood of
other demons. If a demon is seeking more power, they are able to
drink demon blood of others in order to power themselves up,
similar to how vampires can power up using supernatural blood.
In addition to gaining enhanced abilities through demon blood,
demons can also gain new powers in this way, where demons can
gain new abilities from other demons by drinking enough of their
blood. This method is typically taboo among demons however, as
demons don't like it when other demons turn on their own, but
this is a passive ability that demons can rely on if they so
choose. When used, demon blood is a good amplifier of power, in
which demons can gain temporary boosts, and sometimes permanent
boosts to their power the more they drink. However, the main
downside to this is that demons will eventually get addicted to
demon blood after a while, and lose power if they don't drink
demon blood (sort of like a withdrawal symptom), and some demons
have actually become cannibals. It is worth noting that the
increase can continually increase a demon's power, but as they
get stronger, this ability starts to lose it's effectiveness,
similar to how medicines become less effective over time, and is
mostly just for demons who want to temporarily increase their
power and abilities, or steal a new skill from another demon.
- Demon Soul Eater (Some demons): Some demons are able to
devour souls, in which they can use souls to power themselves up
alongside other power-up options. Those that devour souls are
able to devour souls much like many other races that survive on
souls, and depending on the souls, the demon may gain enhanced
abilities, or even new abilities. However, it's not just new
abilities, but a user's physical stats could increase, or they
could gain soul-based regeneration powered by the souls inside
of them, depending on the demon and how they use this art. This
art can amp abilities or also amp physical stats, though some
demons process souls differently. Usually, souls don't dissolve
in a demon's body once eaten, and simply become a part of them
in a collection of souls usually connected to one central
location like the heart or sometimes even in the demon's soul.
The major downside to this ability to forcefully devour souls is
that those that can use this have to deal with the souls
constant cries and screams, which can be overwhelming to some
who don't know how to handle this. Over time though, most demons
get used to it, and learn to tune it out, with some even making
a strength out of gaining souls that might help them in battles
if the person's soul is taken willingly. The major downside is
that if the user is beaten to near death, the souls are
typically released from the being after enough of the demon's
power is used up, as they cannot maintain holds on the souls
they possess if they are too weak in power to maintain their
soul devouring power. Devouring souls usually is an art that
takes strong willed people and those with great power to use, as
this art can be a doubled edged sword if the user cannot contain
certain souls inside them.
- Sin/Negative Emotion Empowerment: Almost all demons are able
to gain empowerment off of at least one type of sin or negative
emotion. The general one for most is fear, anger and/or hatred,
which most demons default to as the main emotion they draw from.
And since demons tend to cause fear in others, usually fear is
their first choice. Those that use this are able to gain
empowerment through sin or negative emotion depending on what
their affinities for. Once a demon reaches a high enough level,
they are even able to influence this emotion in others, with the
demon princes being the best example of this where they are
basically incarnations of sin that focus the power of sin to
influence others and absorb specific sins generated by others.
This ability may also come with other benefits, as some special
abilities can be used in combination with this, such as succubus
demons having special abilities to use with their lust
manipulation. Again, the demon princes are a good example of
this, such as Mammon's gold manipulation being an extension of
his greed power, and Belphegor's sloth absorption enhancing his
mind as he sleeps. This depends mostly on the demon and their
abilities, as each demon is different, and depending on the
demon, some have very different uses for this. This is usually a
passive skill, with exception to any supernatural abilities
focused around manipulation of sin and negative emotions.
- Demon Blood Communication Network/Demon Telepathy: Similar to
angel radio, demons have their own methods of communication. For
the most part, many demons communicate with each other by
telepathy, similar to the angels who use telepathy to interact
with each other and hear prayers. However, demons are more just
simple telepathy where they use it to communicate with one
another, rather than having a "network" like angels do. Demon
telepathy doesn't work through prayers like one would think,
since demons don't get prayers typically and demons tend to rely
more on summoning and magic spells to communicate rather than
using telepathy, since their telepathy usually has to know where
someone is to use it. However, demons can communicate and summon
each other through a specific blood spell that they use to send
messages to each other, essentially letting them phone each
other through this spell. This spell can also be used to summon
demons using blood, and works usually alongside a chant and a
blood offering, which is often used even by those that aren't
demons who try to summon Lucifer and Satan or other demons
depending on the demon they're trying to communicate with. This
can be set up as a private communication or to groups of demons
depending on what the demon wants to do. Unlike angel radio,
which others have managed to tune to with certain spells, demon
blood communication is essentially a private communication, but
the downside to this is that the demon blood communication
cannot be used except through preparation or spells to focus on
who they want to talk to, meaning this cannot be used in battle
to call for help usually like angel radio can be used to call
for allies.
- Demon Mimicry/Mortal Reading: Like angels, demons have a
natural affinity for mimicking others, in which they can do
things like mimicking someone's actions exactly. Their mimicry
is so complete that they are even able to copy the voices of
others, such as mimicking the voice of someone to lure an enemy
into a trap, or mimicking someone's actions to each muscle
movement. This typically goes along with their ability to read
mortals, in which demons are able to read a mortal's body
language usually fairly easily. The biggest use for this is that
most demons can tell when someone is lying, in which they can
tell by reading the person's body whether or not the person
believes they are telling the truth. While this doesn't help
against those that can suppress their unconscious minds signs at
lying (like the Darkfires and Hazeldines can), it does help
demons more easily read almost anyone that they can read. When
combining these two abilities together, it shows that the demons
have a high ability to read someone, as well as mimic their
movements and can even copy certain combat styles by watching
people fight. Typically, this can help in a fight, since they
can more easily learn how certain combat styles work. However,
some beings might not be as easy to mimic, specifically those
that have specific powers that prevent themselves from being
mimicked, and some have abilities that prevent them from being
read by other beings. Demons also can use their shapeshifting to
in combination with this to mimic others, in which they learn to
disguise themselves as mortals, and most never figure out they
are demons unless the demon wants them to, or the demon just
doesn't care about hiding.
- Demonic Cosmic Awareness: Most demons, like angels, are
powerful enough that they are aware of most things going on in
the known universe, as long as it's something the demons have
knowledge of. Demons typically have a pretty good understanding
of much of the forces of the universe, including those many
people wouldn't think would be important, though usually demon
princes are the main ones to keep track of the forces of the
universe, since most demons just follow orders and higher level
demons are the ones that have to plan for anything that might
come. On top of that, many higher level demons have such an
awareness of the universe that they can detect changes in space
and time, in which some demons can tell when someone is time
traveling and changing time, or tell when someone is teleporting
if they can track the teleportation (though usually only higher
level demons can do this). For the most part, demons are like
angels in that demons have most of the angel's same natures that
make them able to take on most threats in the known universe,
and aside from things like primordial beings, they typically
have knowledge of most things going on, including knowing things
like when portals to alternate dimensions have been created as
well. However, there is a limit to this, as certain types of
creatures are not always known or demons might not have
awareness of the entire universe. One such example is that
demons typically don't have any cosmic knowledge of primordial
beings, with one example being the The'Galin (though many angels
and demons do now know about them due to the war being fought).
However, it is worth noting that their knowledge only goes so
far, just like angels and fallen angels. Usually, normal demons
have a vague awareness of most of the major events in their
given world, but usually only higher level demons have the
ability to see certain things, like time traveling or sensing
alternate dimension portals, though this doesn't mean normal
demons aren't able to sense dangerous threats as they appear
like angels can.
- Multi-Linguist/Language Learning: Most demons, like angels and
fallen angels, have been around a long time, and know a great
many languages used by people on earth, with most demons knowing
most of the earth's languages depending on how long they've been
alive. Typically, most demons know almost every language on
earth, including ancient and forgotten languages taught in hell
to demons. The most common one a demon has to learn is Enochian,
in which Enochian is the language used by angels, and is usually
the default language they have that is used in Heaven by angels,
which is something that demons have to learn to understand
certain Enochian wards and spells. However, demons are also able
to speak other languages, with their second specialty being
Hebrew, Biblical Hebrew and other ancient languages that were
used to write the bible, which many beings know about as demons
tried to forge their own attempts at misleading the bible.
However, they are not limited to these languages, as they can
speak almost any modern language, such as English, French,
Spanish, and many other languages. Because many demons have been
around since the creation of humanity, they have mostly seen
every language that has developed thanks to man, and know almost
every language there is to know since they also knew each
language before the languages all split off and eventually
became different languages, something they teach to most new
demons over time once humans are twisted into demons. Due to
this, they have no need to learn new languages, as they
automatically gain this through interacting with humans and can
learn other languages after hearing enough of the language.
- Demonic Supernatural Life Span: Demons, like angels and fallen
angels, have an indefinite lifespan. Thanks in part to their
supernatural regeneration, and their design in being a type of
creature that doesn't get old (Since demons are either twisted
angels or twisted dead human souls granted new life), demons
don't age, and no known demon has died of old age that hadn't
given up their power to become mortal or been killed by other
opponents. While a demon can still be killed in battle, or
killed in a few different ways, they cannot die of old age,
because their demonic regeneration and their design has been set
up so that they do not grow old. Most demons stay in the same
form they were since their birth (whether it's a twisted angel
that's been around since early creation or a human soul twisted
into a demon), in which their demonic self typically takes the
form of the form they take when they were created with small
changes made over time thanks to demonic shapeshifting. For the
most part, it's not known if demons will eventually die of old
age and just haven't yet, since it's not known if older demon's
regeneration can break down over time, which often causes many
regenerative types to age once they get old enough they start
losing their regenerative abilities. Since no demon (including
the demon princes who were the very first demons) has reached
that point, it is believed that they have an indefinite life
span, and since it's believed angels were designed this way, the
demons are believed to never have to worry about dying of old
age as well unless they choose to by giving up their power and
living a human life (which some have done). Since the life span
is indefinite, no one knows if demons can die of old age. It's
not said by those like God, so it's believed that they have an
indefinite life span unless something in them is changed by
those like God or Lucifer. However, this doesn't mean they can't
be killed in battle, as they can still be killed by things like
angel blades (normal demons can be killed by angel blades), or
things like death scythes (which can also kill demon princes and
hell knights).
- Supernatural Telepathy: This ability lets a demon communicate
telepathically with anyone they can connect to. Typically this
power uses their supernatural power, in which they use it to
tune to a person if they know where they are in order to
communicate with them. This lets them communicate with other
people without having to speak, with them being able to share
thoughts directly with others when the demon isn't using their
demonic communication using blood spells. However, usually the
demon has to know where the person is to use this basic
telepathy since they have to know where to send their thoughts
and communication. However, this doesn't apply to those who
establish permanent connections, such as connecting to other
family members (though demons typically don't have the ability
to create connections like this unless they have the abilities
of other races). This lets demons not only communicate with
those they have a permanent connect with, but can also tell them
where they are at any time should they require to find them or
need to be summoned to them (which they typically do with their
demon blood communication). Those who are set up with permanent
connections have to accept the connection, and even then, they
can sever it if they choose to. This is not as effective as
demon blood communication, so most don't ever really use this
power anymore after setting up special spells to summon and
communicate.
- Weapon Teleport/Connection: Unlike angels who usually use
intangible storage of their weapons, demons typically rely on
connecting their weapons to themselves, and being able to
teleport their weapon to them at any time, similar to certain
supernaturals who developed the ability to attach items to
themselves. Thanks to this originally being a demon ability,
demons are also able to do this. There are a few different ways
to do this, such as storing a weapon in one's soul, in which the
weapon becomes a part of them permanently, allowing them to
summon and desummon their weapon at will, and even control it.
There is also those that have a special connection with their
weapons, where they simply just develop a connection and then
are able to summon that weapon at any time to them, using that
connections. Some arts even allow stat boosts for a demon and
their weapon when used together, which works even better with
intelligent weapons. Typically, angels tend to use intangible
methods to store their weapons out of phase with reality, but
demons mostly just focus on making sure their weapon can be
summoned to them at any time, and make it so that they don't
need to keep the weapon with them as they can summon it no
matter where it is if they are connected to it. This has it's
uses compared to the angel method, such as one being able to get
a hold of the weapon if it's kept somewhere, but most demons can
still summon the weapon even if it's stolen from them if they
are connected to it.
- Demonic Enhanced Senses: Depending on the demons, most demons
have highly enhanced senses. Most are able to do things like
seeing things from very far away, or hearing a conversation
going on a block away. They also have a strong enough sense of
smell that they can tell who people are just by the scent they
give off, and can even smell someone's DNA through scent alone.
Thanks to this, demons have very strong senses, and are on par
with almost any supernatural's senses. Each demon has their own
balance of senses, with some having lesser senses and other
stronger senses, usually depending on the demon and what type of
demon they are. Typically, most demons do have very strong
senses, which can also be a weakness to a degree, since enhanced
senses can be taken advantage of, such as taking advantage of a
strong sense of smell by using a strong smell to overwhelm them.
This does depend on the demon, as some don't have as enhanced
senses, but those that do can be very difficult to avoid. Some
can even gain unique senses, such as fire users gaining a
thermal sense, or a lightning user being able to sense
electrical signals around them, mostly depending on the skills
and how the demon uses them. Some even gain animal-like senses,
such as bat demons who gain a sonar sense.
- Demonic Sixth Sense: Much like vampires and other
supernaturals, demons can sense the presence of other beings,
and sensing who and what they are. This can sense not only one's
presence, but their levels of energy and how tough they are,
allowing the user to gauge how they stand against them, as well
as often being able to tell what they are by their presence if
the user recognizes what kind of presence it is. However, this
can be deceived by skilled opponents, sometimes not appearing
correctly if the user can't sense the opponent's full power or
use powers that fool this sense. There are also skills that hide
one's presence so those with this sense can't sense them, or
some opponents can suppress their presence so they're not fully
able to be sensed. While this isn't always the best judge of
someone's abilities, it can provide a slight insight to help the
user as to what they face or what's around them. Most beings can
be sensed, and to an extent, even the world around them can be
sensed, such as objects and other life around them like plants
and animals. Depending on the senses, this might also tune into
other senses, such as ki users being able to sense ki all around
them (though most demons just have a basic sixth sense.)
- Demonic Will: All demons have a resistance to mind alterations
and other powers that influence the mind thanks to their design
and twisting of their natures (whether angel or human
originally). When the demons were "born", they had more unique
minds than angels did (as angels came "preprogrammed" by God).
As such, they have resistance to powers that might intefere with
their minds after learning to focus their minds and prevent
opponents from influencing them since most demons have to learn
this in order to be able to manipulate other minds. As a result,
most abilities that affect the mind don't work well on demons,
though some stronger abilities do still work but to a reduced
effect. Demons have even gotten good at rewritting their own
minds through suggestion, so that they can more effectively
avoid things like psychics and control their minds like certain
other supernaturals like the Darkfires and Hazeldines. Demons
are typically immune to most forms of mind manipulation, and can
even shut down certain aspects of their mind when needed in
order to keep certain things from affecting them.
- Demonic Demon/Demon Lord/Demon Prince Enhanced Physical Stats:
All demons, whether human or angel, are all trained and are
highly enhanced warriors designed specifically for battle. For
the most part, all demons have highly enhanced physical stats in
some way. Each demon typically has different abilities, with
each demon being different in their physical combat depending on
how they train and what kind of demon they are, such as wolf
demons being more agile and speedy than strength-based. This
depends not only on the demon specifically, but also depends on
their training and how they train their physical stats. Some may
focus on strength, some on defense, or some on speed. This is
usually specific to each demon, with higher level demons usually
even having higher physical stats than normal demons due to
being among the tougher members of hell. Demons are usually very
tough opponents, and most typically have stats that let them
compete with a lot of higher level supernaturals, whether they
are normal demon, hell knight, demon lord or even demon prince.
As such, it's hard to predict the individual stats of every
demon, but one typical rule is that demons usually either focus
one to three stats specifically, or they may focus all their
stats evenly. If they focus one to three stats specifically,
other stats not trained are typically not as high with certain
exceptions. And when a demon focuses all their stats evenly,
they typically have lesser stats, but all their stats are
usually fairly even. Again, this does depend on the demon and
their own preferences, as well as the type of demon since
natural ability of the demons factors in as well.
Transformation:
- Lower Level Unique Demon Form (Lower level demons only): Lower
level demons that aren't too strong usually have a stronger
demonic form they can take on earth if they choose to, where
they can take their full demonic form to fight an opponent.
Typically, depending on the demon, the powerup can be unique,
like a wolf demon who might take a more wolf-like demon
appearance when using their full demon power. This can also be a
simple powerup like a simple demonic enhancement using demonic
energy or demon aura (depending on the preference of the demon).
Lower level demons usually have no issue using their full demon
power since they don't have to worry about holding back in the
mortal realm, usually not being strong enough to be a threat to
the balance of life and death and the balance of holy and unholy
energy in the world. Demons that aren't higher level demons like
higher demon lords or demon prince level beings usually have
less restraint than higher level demons, allowing them to fight
as they desire. These forms usually have the effect of turning
the demon into a more focused type of demon that reflects what
kind of demon they are, and this is typically unique for every
demon. Because of this, it's hard to categorize the full demon
transformations except to mention lower level and higher level
demon transformations separately since both have different
aspects. Most lower level demons gain a stat boost when taking
this form, and some even gain unique abilities when in their
form based on their power and form they take, such as a wolf
demon gaining more wolf-like features like claws and teeth, or a
bird-like demon who might gain bird-like wings and talons to
attack with, as well as special attack skills.
- High Level Demon Form (High level demons only): Typically
demons do not use their full demon form on earth, mostly because
the world suffers if they are in their demon form for too long.
Some are more spiritual than others, but typically, these forms
are the demon's true forms that they usually only take in Hell.
However, most demons can use these forms in a limited capacity
on earth, where they can release their full demonic power during
a battle through some means of demonic enhancement. However,
this is something to be used sparingly, since stronger demon
powers typically are dangerous to use on earth, especially
around mortals who can't handle their enhanced presences. It is
also worth noting that many demon princes might typically are
locked in how much of their power they can use on earth (like
Lucifer and King Satan), since the demon princes are typically
much more powerful than the living world can usually handle. As
such, many demons are limited in how much power they can release
when on earth, with many stronger demons having to simply rely
on their normal forms if they can't release their full power or
simple enhancements like demon energy enhanced modes that just
provide a small boost. However, typically, stronger demons that
can't use their full form on earth usually are stronger in their
base form as a result, and some like Lucifer and King Satan are
not able to use their true forms on earth, but they are usually
as strong as they can be on earth due to being so powerful
(meaning that they can keep up with transformed beings even
though they can't use their transformation on earth). This
usually depends on the demon, as some demons might gain
additional stats and powers when using their true forms, since
some demons suppress certain abilities when in the mortal world.
Demon Weaknesses:
- You died and became a demon. That's sad... Anyway, Imma burn
your bones now (Human-turned demons only): Not many know this,
but a human turned demon can be killed by burning their bones
with salt and fire, essentially the same way as getting rid of a
vengeful spirit. This is something that not many people know,
and only smarter demon hunters have figured out. By burning
their bones, it sends them back to the afterlife permanently
(Usually sending them to wherever the demon will go after
death), and works on killing the demon connected to the bones.
Every human form demon created is connected to one set of bones
that belonged to their human form or some item with their DNA on
it. Once the bones/items are burned, the human form demon will
burst into flames and disappear, not able to return to earth
ever again. Any human form demon knows how dangerous this is
after finding out about this from a demon who saw it happen, and
knows that their old human names and graves are the biggest
weakness they have due to being a great way to kill them without
having to get close to the demon directly. If the person knows
where the bones are to a human form demon, they can use that to
their advantage. Due to that, a human turned demon usually has
to hide their bones and whatever ties them to their existence.
One such example is Crowley, who almost was destroyed by the
Winchesters after they found his original bones. This makes a
human-turned demon's real name one of their most closely guarded
secrets that they have, and makes them able to be killed without
having to use normal demon weaknesses.
- An angel turned demon is still an angel... How does that work?
(Angel-turned Demons Only): When an angel is turned demon,
depending on how much of the angel's power is left in the demon
after turning, some demons retain their angelic power to a small
degree. This is both useful and hurtful, as it means that
angelic weaknesses can also be used to trap and/or kill them
depending on the level of demon they become. A good example of
this is Asmodeus, who is essentially a demon/angel mix of power
similar to a nephalem and both angelic and demonic wards can be
used against him. While this doesn't bother most angels turned
demon, this can be a problem against some more powerful wards
and exorcisms, as they might affect the demon as well, assuming
that they are used against the demon. Most demons aren't too
worried about this, but this can be a problem, and makes killing
them a bit easier when someone can use similar methods to
killing an angel. Because of this, most angels may try to keep
secret their angelic power and natures, as well as keeping
secret if they have angelic power left in them. Most angels who
turn demon lose almost all of their angel or fallen angel
abilities, though a few like Lucifer and Asmodeus have actually
retained some of their angelic power. This also might work
against those angel-turned demons if their angelic power
lingers, because forceful demon possession might not be
possible, since angel-turned demons may be required to use
angelic possession instead of demonic possession.
- Suffer Heaven's wraith, you jerks!: Just as holy opponents
take more damage from demonic energy, so too do all demons take
increased damage from holy abilities (unless they have specific
holy abilities such as angel abilities). For the most part,
demons are able to be killed depending on their demonic
regeneration, with demon killer weapons being able to bypass
their regeneration and halt their demonic regeneration for a
short time. The two main things are demon killer knives, which
are made with special runes (though demon killer knives don't
permanently kill demon princes and hell knights), and angel
blades, which are designed to kill demons (These also may not
kill hell knights or demon princes on their own). Other demon
killing weapons exist, with many having their own methods for
killing demons. Other things like death scythes, varanium
weapons, or other weapons designed for killing a variety of
creatures often also work if they are also tuned to killing
demons. Though weapons like death scythes or varanium weapons
don't have to be tuned since they work on most supernatural
creatures. Typically, holy weapons are the most effect items to
use on demons since demons typically take more damage from holy
abilities.
- The power of Christ compels you, a*shole!: Burning holy oil,
holy water and salt works against demons as well, doing extra
damage. Burning holy oil does extra damage to them just as it
does to angels, though it doesn't have the same casting effect
it does on angels when they are engulfed in it. Instead, the
burning holy oil just does heavy holy damage to their bodies,
even if they are fire users due to the immense holy power of
holy oil that can even stop angels in their tracks. Some weaker
demons can even be completely incinerated by burning holy oil if
they are not careful. Holy water also works, with it being
something that can stop or slow a demon pretty effectively. Holy
water does extra damage, and weapons coated in holy water can
stun a demon if they are hit with it. Salt also works, being a
way to counter demons as a spirit. Usually, salt works the same
way as holy water, where weapons coated in it or salt itself can
do extra damage to a demon, or even stun it. Blessed salt works
even better and does more damage if one has it, but normal pure
salt will work as well. Some demons can even be trapped in a
salt ring if it makes a ring around them.
- Learn to draw demon wards. They work... Mostly: Demon wards,
and demon traps are specific abilities designed to counter
demons. Demonic wards are able to keep demons out of an area
until they find a way to break the wards, often allowing time to
prepare a counter attack. Wards can also be used to cast out
demons, such as paper wards that can send a demon somewhere
random. There are also demon traps, which need only be drawn on
the ground in order to trap a demon once they step into the
circle. As long as the demon doesn't break out of, such as Hell
Knights being able to shake the ground to break the ground, the
spell circle will hold until the demon finds a way to get rid of
the trap circle. These trap circles have to maintain their shape
and form though, as the circle won't be effective once it is
broken. In addition to this there are other wards and traps that
can be used depending on the lore or origin, as many have
contended with demons over the years and developed their own
methods.
- Learn Enochian. You'd be surprised what you can do with it:
Another way to counter demons are Enochian chants and exorcism
spells. There are a number of Enochian chants and spells that
can send a demon back to hell for a time, usually for up to a
week before they are able to return. These chants are all based
on the spoken words, which exorcise the demon, being able to
cast them out of an area. These exorcisms work fairly well, with
the only real downside being that the demon is easily able to
return to the living world after a time usually up to a week.
Usually this is best used for those that defy the rulers of hell
to send them back to the rulers of hell, usually for punishment.
These exorcisms also work better when accompanied by salt or
holy water, which weaken the demon's resistance to the chant.
However, some spoken exorcisms are quite lengthy, and if the
demon realizes what's going on, the demon needs only keep
someone from talking to prevent the chant since this doesn't
interrupt their powers. Typically demons who possess people are
more vulnerable to exorcisms than those that shapeshift.
