       London Profile: Barbas (updated) 
       By: Caterina Sforza Date: October 25, 2021, 1:02 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Demon of Fear, also known as Barbas, appears on earth once
       every 1300 years on a Friday the 13th for twenty four hours. His
       appearance is attributed to the universal convergence of
       negative energies as derived from astrological charts. He
       derives his life force by feeding off the fears of witches. If
       he can kill 13 unmarried female witches before the stroke of
       midnight on the 13th he will be able to break free from his
       eternal bonds and walk the earth for eternity. A witch's
       only defense is to identify and then release her greatest fears.
       Do not rely on your wicca powers for defence, for in the face of
       your greatest fear, those powers are paralyzed. To let go of
       your fear, trust in the greatest of all powers. Thanks for
       letting them into your heart.” ~ Book of Shadows entry on Barbas
       “Thank you very much for your vote of confidence. I don't
       even know what it is that I did to offend her, except for that
       rug rat incident, and that all came out okay in the end more or
       less, and it wasn't even me.” ~ Barbas to a demon after his
       first fight with Muriel
       “I think we should check your fears first. How charming. Your
       greatest fear is that your nephews won't be safe. From me.
       How touching. Of course, such a great fear paralyses you.
       Can't believe you forgot about that.” ~ Barbas to a witch
       Demon: Yeah, I know, I know, it's just, uh, how much time?
       You've been working on them for weeks. I don't mean to
       rush you or anything but I'm really hot, like all the time!
       Barbas: Patience! Or have you forgotten? I can summon your fears
       to life even down here.
       Demon: Forgotten? No, sir, I'm the one you've been
       practicing on, remember? But I gotta say, the deal was if I
       taught you how to project out from down here, then you'd
       help me escape.
       Barbas: You'll be rewarded for your service.
       Demon: Oh, yeah? That's good, that's good. 'Cause
       you know, this whole eternal banishment thing is really starting
       to get me down. - Barbas talking to a demon who works for him
       “Fear always comes back!”
       London Muriel: What do you have to say for yourself Barbas?
       Barbas: I'm a demon. What do you expect?
       “Ah looks like I did just enough to win the case..you know what
       that means. I’m back!”
       “You’re afraid. And your greatest fear is that somehow they’re
       going to find out that you’re the one after Kendrix. But don’t
       worry, I won’t tell anyone. Nary a soul.” ~Barbas to Alternate
       Muriel
       Name:  Barbas
       Age:  Unknown
       Species: Demon
       Gender: Male
       Organization: Lucifer’s Higher Court and Army
       Associates: Leviathan, Beelzebub, Abaddon, Satanachia
       Rank: President
       Legions in Command of: State of Mentality (Influence over the
       Human mind)
       Abilities:
       Active Abilities:
       - Immortality
       - Astral Projection: the ability to project one's
       consciousness into an astral form outside the body. When a
       person astral projects, their physical body falls to the floor,
       slumps over or remains still until they return. While in "astral
       mode", powers are dormant. However, some advanced users have
       mastered the skill to use their powers whilst astral projecting.
       - Energy Balls: User can form balls of energy, which resemble
       electrical discharges, in their hand, and throw them at targets
       with varying levels of voltage. They can also dissipate and
       control the energy ball while still in their hand.
       - Fear Projection: The ability to sense and read the fears of
       other beings and use it against them. This power is unique to
       the demon Barbas who is known as the demon of fear because of
       it.
       - Fear Illusions: Barbas can also create realistic illusions
       base on a person's fears. His illusions may be limited to
       visible manifestations that affect only sight, or affect all the
       five senses so that they cannot be distinguished from reality.
       Barbas usually employ this method when he's attacking people
       within a group, presumably because he must attack them
       individually because each person’s fear is different. However,
       it is just as effective as projecting someone's fear it into
       reality, because the victim will think the illusions are real.
       - Tracking: Barbas can track and find people based on their
       fears as nobody’s fears are the same despite how many people are
       alive.
       Smoking/Flaming: Users of this power are engulfed in black or
       white smoke as they teleport to their destination or in the case
       of high ranking demons they appear to be engulfed in intense
       flames, though this does not harm the users or their passengers.
       Mental Manipulation: The ability to project as an inner voice to
       others, implanting incredibly strong suggestions into their
       minds, subtly bending them to one's will. Barbas commonly
       combines his use of this power with Astral projection.
       - Voice Manipulation: the ability to control and manipulate your
       own speaking or singing voice. Some demons like Barbas can copy
       other people's voices.
       - Charmspeaking: A person trained in this can compel people by
       speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly
       cogent commandment is far too compelling. At a high level, users
       can persuade people into hurting/killing themselves or even flip
       around sense of logic, but can never cause victims to achieve
       what they are not capable of.
       - Fear Absorption: A person can can fully or partially absorb
       emotions, in this case Fear, while removing it from the source,
       into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of
       advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained
       power, using it as power source etc., either temporarily or
       permanently. Targets of the draining often lose motivation due
       to the sudden loss of intense emotions.
       - Suggestive Telepathy: A trained user can implant thoughts or
       ideas into a subject's subconscious making the subject think
       that those were their own thoughts. One can keep on giving
       commands to the subject until they obey them.
       Demon Abilities: - 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.
       - 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.

       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
       Inactive Abilities:
       - Intangibility: also known as phasing, is the ability to alter
       one's molecular structure to a state that can pass through
       physical matter; rendering the user immune to many physical and
       magical attacks
       - Immunity: the ability that grants the possessor immunity from
       most or any kind of powers (including their own)
       Transformations: Barbas can shift his appearance into those of
       people his victims fear.
       - 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.
       Weapons:  Coward’s blade: A special handcrafted dagger made for
       him by a mage in the late 1300s. The blade of the dagger
       overcomes a beings mind and forces all their fears onto them at
       once which overwhelms them until they die from either a heart
       attack in the face of fear or something in their fears.
       Weaknesses:
       - Enchanted Crystals: When placed in the correct position by a
       witch, warlock, mage or other magical being these objects can
       form a cage which will trap a demon and seriously injure them
       upon attempted escape
       - Bravery: Barbas has little magical effect on those that face
       and overcome their fears as he relies on cowardice in the face
       of fear for many of his physiological abilities
       - 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.
       - 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.
       - 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.
       - 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.
       Personality: Barbas is a harsh and cold person under normal
       circumstances. However, when needed Barbas can be very
       mischievous and persuasive to get what he needs done. He also
       won’t hesitate to use a person’s weaknesses and fears against
       them in order to gain the upper hand. Though despite this.
       Barbas will resort to pure intelligence and wit to gain the
       upper hand in a situation which leads him to be viewed as sly by
       most people.
       Bio: Much of Barbas’ early life is unknown and unrecorded as he
       only appeared on Earth to witches one night a year, and Barbas
       himself doesn’t recall much of it. His only clear memories are
       of his bid for eternal freedom one night a year.
       Barbas remained trapped in hell for all but one night a year up
       until 1999. He killed 13 witches and manipulated three sisters
       known as the Halliwells into his bidding. In the realm of
       witches they were known as the Charmed Ones and they were
       descended from a long line of extremely powerful witches. He
       would later go after the child of one of the sister’s. This is
       also where the only known written information on Earth appeared
       from. However, his freedom remained short-lived due to Muriel
       sending him back to hell less than a year later.
       Angered by the setback and tired of his failed bid for freedom
       Barbas went after Lena Van Helsing in his attempt at another
       group of 13. While he failed at killing Lena, he did succeed in
       the death of 13 witches after finding another witch to fill her
       place. However, due to his escape and attempt on Lena’s life,
       Muriel has now vowed to send him back again one day and never
       allow his successful escape again.
       Barbas has since spent his free time teaching Kendrix the art of
       fear manipulation to fill his shoes. That was up until his
       mysterious vanishing and supposed death. In reality, he was
       kidnapped by another dimension’s Muriel. This one much darker
       and demonic than the one known in London. She used him to learn
       fear abilities as her own was trapped behind a sealed Hell’s
       Gate. It was only in the last few days that he was dropped,
       tortured, tired, and confused at how much time had passed back
       in his own home dimension.
