Race: Demons
Lifespan: Immortal
Physical Descriptions: Demons vary in size, color, shape, and theme vastly. Some may tower above buildings while others will appear to be no bigger than children or common forest fairies. In some cases there are demons born who look like beautiful woman but is only do this to deceive their enemies. The only common trait all demons share are the horns that grow from their heads. All demons are born with horns and all horns lengthen during their years of maturing.
Social: Demons are very devious, evil people. They were created long ago for the sole purpose to disrupt the peace of others and to infect the other races like a plague, a behavior they have never abandoned. As one of the demons most expected traits are to rape and impregnate the females of other races, there are rarely any females born into the demon race, not full blooded ones anyway. The few full blooded females that do exist often look like beautiful women, a key to tricking the males of other races.
Between both male and females, there are many types of demons in existence. Physically, most have no resemblance to their parents but will carry on the abilities of the ones before them in some combination. Some have deep magiks in mind tricks and illusions, others are brutal and bestial. There's no real known limit to a demon's abilities or skills.
Possession is another ability all full-blooded demons posses. Some can use this skill with such mastery its as easy as breathing to them while other struggle with it or don't bother with it at all.
Demons are also entirely carnivorous. They are prone to eating anyone or anything that they can overpower or can convince to follow them. It's also said some can consume others and gain the knowledge of their lives during the eating. This can include anything they have thought in their lifetimes, any feelings they have felt or even pass on the knowledge of their magiks to the demon.
Concerning emotions, demons are almost simplistic. They are entirely incapable of feeling love or compassion. This goes further to say they cannot feel sorrow, sympathy, empathy, or even general caring. But demons do feel anger, hate, joy and pleasure. They are carnal, no matter how cunning one can be.
Estimated Population: Around 100,000 purebreeds and an unknown number of halfbreeds.
Standing Army: No. While demons are to be feared they do not have any type of formal standing army.
Size: N/A
Brief list of Names: N/A (While many demons have fame -- or infamy in most cases -- on their own, it would not be worth mentioning it here.)
Breeding/Relationships: When two demons mate, the coupling is random and an act of violence (which does not always mean the male abuses the female). Once pregnant, a female demon will carry her child for two months then will birth the child in a slick sac of fluids and mucus, much like an egg. She will bury the sac into the ground, most often at the base of the Luin's volcano where the demon child will stay until it has grown enough to 'hatch'. This time ranges from a few weeks to a few years and entirely upon the being inside of the sac.
The reason a female does not carry longer is simply that all demons are still small at two months. After that point, the child can either grow slightly (sometimes extending to the size of a human infant) or grow much larger, perhaps the size of a horse even. The latter would kill her.
After demon children 'hatch', they dig their way to the surface and begin into life as they please. Often, these children look like fully matured adults but have very small horns, the only signification of their youth. Demons are born with knowledge and skills, needing no time to mature before causing hell on the world.
Male demons have a specific ability, the ability to impregnate the fertile females of any other race. These couplings are often ones of rape or of trickery and almost any sexual intercourse with a demon male will result in a pregnancy. Sometimes the women who are impregnated never knew it happened, others suffer greatly through vicious rape and abuse. This depends entirely on the type of demon.
The child that is conceived by the interracial coupling is a half-breed. It may or may not have horns and may look just like the mother's people, giving away no sign of its partial blood or it may look like a full demon, even kill the mother from the inside out through overgrowth or violence before being birthed.
Almost all women who know the child they carry is a halfbreed demon will kill the child within them if they can or kill themselves trying. A single common attribute to those carrying a half-demon child is the immense bleeding and horrid sickness the female goes through during the pregnancy. Out of fear, many female who believe they are with a demon child due to signs like these will kill their children in fear, even times when their child is not part demon.
The one common thing between all mating, full-blooded or interracial coupling, is that 'love' is never part of it. Demons, as mentioned, are incapable of love. The female of another race may be tricked into believing there is love between the two, but it is simply another falsity a demon will play to coax a female into bed.

Pureblood Weaknesses

- Ice/Water Magik
Halfbreed

- Holy Water (painful for them to consume or touch)
Special Abilities:
Fire Immunity - All full-blooded demons are immune to fire, even the magma of volcanos. Because of this trait, it is common that throughout history when another race isn't sure that their captive is a demon, they will set them on fire to see if they burn.
Possession - This does not apply to Demon Illusionist who can do this flawlessly and without "consent". But Demons upon first seeing someone, can not interfere with their mind or body. That is until they are "consented" by the person in question. But what must be understood is that consent for a demon is much different than it is for men and Elf. Consent for them can be something as small as making eye contact or gesturing their way. Once this has been done, of course, the demon has free range to take over another's mind.
Impregnation - All male demons have the ability to impregnate fertile females of any other race. Often times the seed of a male demon is deadly to other races and will plague the female with sickness that will either kill her shortly after giving birth to a half-breed demon child or will longer her whole life like a cancer, causing immense pain and suffering until her death.
Export/Craft: N/A
Territory: Luin
Native Language: Szlir. Szlir is the strangest and most complex language spoken, heard of written in the mortal realm. It is the sole language spoken by Muxen and all demons are born with the knowledge of how to use it and understand it. When learned by any other than a demon it takes an incredibly long time to fully understand and speak it. Because Demons are equipped with four sets of vocal cords, unlike other races who only have two, demons are the only ones able to speak the language as it was meant to be spoken. If, lets say, a human were to speak Szlir, the sounds coming out of his mouth would have a very bad accent to it. Making it obvious to other demons he is not, in fact, one of their own. The written version of the language is a series of complex symbols and depending on the order they are in can alter the overall meaning. One symbol can mean up to six words. And even to the current date no one other than a demon has ever "mastered" this written language. And as for demons, only a small number have ever "mastered" it.
Current Leader: N/A
Alignment: Evil
Creator: Muxen
Rp Notes: Demons are supposed to be one of the most deadly creatures here at Terrastra. The reason is simple; they are magikally inclined, quick and strong. They have no qualms against doing morally corrupt acts and no society that tells them to not do these things. As such it is important that if you choose to be a demon you are prepared to do evil deeds. And you are not going to play a demon and be the one demon who is "good". All demons are evil because this is how they were created by their god, they do not get the choice of "free will" on this matter because they have been denied such an option.
This race has been made incredibly strong for the sole reason that villains need such attributes. Example, humans are significantly weaker in all categories when compared to a demon. While a Mornaquenta would have roughly the same strength. Their speed is as fast as a strong horse and they often times have the ability to fly. Magikally they can compete with most trained students of magik because they have such a free access to it. They do not need the training nor do they need incantations and special things to utilize their skills in the arts.
