#Original demon races

[imperviousmelodrama]

Just two demons from a book series @eostreofthedawn and I are working on together. I've missed thesetwo like crazy. My wonderful EgadI and Solomon. Ugh Ihave always struggled with both of their eyes. Thinkthis is the best I have ever done!

Somewhere I have actual notes about these two races of demons, or Higher Demons that were created lay God Himself! The white one is an Elbinsinian,the demon representing Pride. The other one is a Hunarian,the demon of Lust. Surprising literally no one else, there arefive other races. At some point I will rewrite out all the little details about the races again.

Side note, feet are harder than hands. Contreversal I know. But I stand by my stance on this.

There's an orc attending your college. Your city is pretty diverse, there's a lot of human cultures represented there, and even harpies and dwarves are common. But an orc is still a really rare sight. And she's not assimilated at all, she wears the symbol of the dark lord around her neak, and the strange black cloths from the wastelands she came from, and she always seems to have a gun somewhere on her. It's strange just to see an orc in person, she's not like the green skinned monsters you see in movies, her eyes are pitch black, and her skin is so pale you can see veins, she's muscular and tell but also strangely skinny, and her teeth are sharp and spiked like a sharks, this one doesn't have tusks, just these rows of serrated teeth.

Everyone avoids her at first. There's something creepy about her. She doesn't move like a human. She emotes weirdly, being stoic during conversations, but sometimes smiling or laughing at odd times. In class it becomes clear that she lacks knowledge anyone growing up in your society has, but has extensive knowledge on things most humans will never know. She also very clearly supports the dark lord and the demons who serve him, and gets mad when his narrative of conquest and strict genetic hierarchy is challenged in class.

You end up paired with her for a class project. It's weirdly awkward. But you end up spending more time with her then most. It still takes awhile to get used to her mannerisms, and you have to convince her of evolution in a long debate (but eventually you do convince her). She seems strangely naive to a lot of things. Every time she does something that she considers a failure she goes into self loathing, and she gets really afraid she's going to be punished. You have to explain to her things are going to be ok sometimes.

You try to spend time with her. She supports the dark lord but out of a strange sense of fear more than the type of ideological support humans in nations not under his control have. When she does something that she thinks is heresy agaisnt him she becomes afraid. And while she's angry at people who follow gods other than him (which is basically everyone here) she's more afraid of them than everything. When a holy symbol you own touches her she's surprised it doesn't burn her, you have to tell her it's ok.

She has a lot more freedom here than she did back in the wastelands. You slowly help her realize she doesn't have to worry about being punished for sinning agasint the dark lord. She's able to go on the internet for the first time, you help her get everything set up. You also introduce her to your freinds, only some of whom feel safe around her, but those who do seem to like her.

It's weird just hanging out in her dorm. She can be weirdly laid back and introspective at times, at least when she's not nervous or paranoid. But when she's just relaxing she'll tell you about things, about the beauty of the desert sands, about what it was like to observe the rattlesnakes and condors and wyverns of her homeland. How she likes to observe the city, the way the diffrent people flow through it, she was scared of it at first but now she likes to explore it, and the way it lacks stars at night but the lights from the buildings replace it. She says she wishes she could stay here forever, that she wishes she could be an artist but that she was sent here to learn skills useful to the dark lord's empire.

There's something nice about showing her new things. You get to take her to a musical for the first time. Get to show her neighborhoods you like. Get to explain to her what public transport is (though she got scared feeling trapped in a subway car). You get to show her stuff she never got to experience because orcs are never really children, she loves getting to hold a plush for the first time, or watching cartoons for the first time, it's like she's finally getting to live an experience she never had. Even though she's a well armed adult she really likes plushies once she finds out about them, they weren't something she was allowed to have back home.

Over time she starts meeting people and learning things that go against her worldview. As she makes more friends, understands new things, slowly learns that she shouldn't be punished for mistakes, she slowly comes around to seeing how fucked up the world the was raised in is. She tells you she doesn't want to worship the dark lord anymore, she cries just from saying it. You hug her, and realize she's never been hugged before, she seems to really like that feeling. She bathes in the waters of a healing goddess, and she worships something out of love instead of fear for the first time.

Eventually the spawning warlock who spawned her and her siblings comes to visit her. You told her to be careful but she ended up spilling that she doesn't worship the dark lord, she ends up spilling all the things a warlock like that considers a sin. When he leaves she tells you she can't go home. Not ever. Never again will she see the shifting sands, or flying condor, or flowing serpents of her homelands. She's trapped where she is now.

You know it hurts her a lot. She says she feels like she's in a small pocket of safety. Back home she'd be hurt for being an apostate. In human lands outside of the city she'd be hurt for being an orc. But she's safe here. She stays in her apartment for awhile, while you try to make things work. She's finally changing her major to art, and despite everything she's finally free, free to watch the starless sky, free to not be punished when she makes a mistake...

This audio of Daniel and Max reminded me of Phobos and Bunee so much

Direct Captions:

(Phobos) “Max’s eyes are turquoise, like the ocean in Maldives”

(Bunee) “Brown. Like, poopy brown?”

Our Chosen Savior... [OC]

-

Was given this idea by a friend while talking about my OC Esmond and his crew, who act as both his company, guards, and followers. Esmond is constantly worried about saving them and terrified of failing... the pressure is tangible!

What are Mutabilis Demons?

Mutabilis demons, or shifters, are a race of shapeshifting demons that were originally a single devil named Mutabilis.

Mutabilis's core was found and shattered when they sided with the nephalem daughter of Truth and Lust named Shade, who tried to overthrow the gods and establish herself as the only god of New Earth. (She will be her own post)

The shattered pieces became the cores for new demons, making them the youngest race on New Earth (all the shifters that are main and secondary characters are the third and youngest generation).

They are untrusted, especially in the after realms, due to both their history with Shade when Mutabilis was whole and the fact that many have formed cults that worship the imprisoned nephalem. This leads to unfair discrimination, especially when it comes to them taking positions of power, where one can be seen as untrustworthy for even knowing a Shade worshipper regardless if they themselves take part.

Shifters come in many shapes, sizes, and forms. They are so diverse that there are only three defining traits for them

1) they will typically have at least one body part that is disconnected from the rest of their body, but still functions like an attached limb. This helps with energy preservation and management

2) they have a crystal-like core they can revert to if their body is greatly damaged or they lose too much energy. Shattering this core will kill the demon instantly

3) their blood can come in many colors and will float in a way similar to water when it's in space

They can combine to create stronger shifters, though this is not the way they reproduce nor is it related to how they reproduce, it's an ability that comes from the fact that they originated as a single being and therefore can become one with another. Many of the cults of Shade even believe that combining enough Shifters would make them whole again and revive Mutabilis in way.

There is little known about them since they are relatively new to the world, but biologists on new earth do their best to learn how these curious demons work

I'm talking about elves, dwarves, common folk (humans), angels, demons, satyrs, you name it. There's even a character who is part fairy and a moment where her and my main character just stare at each other's wings in awe and wonder because neither of them have ever seen anything like it before

RENEGADE

One of my favorite paintings of Varalgus 💜 as a Reykuryan, demon-like creatures of smoke and fire, smoke pools from his mouth when he’s angry. And when he’s furious he becomes a purple volcano like in this image.

I touched on the idea before in an older version of Second Chances but it's no longer applicable to the way that the story is now

but I would like to consider again the idea that people who are on the receiving end of magical healing a lot may build up a 'tolerance' to it as a sort of trauma response, and maybe even get to a point where they literally can't be healed anymore

I just think the psychosomatic implications of that are interesting :)

Rei: ready to be electrified!!!

Imps!

Playing around with artstyles in the early days of working on this project gave us these adorable pseudo-demons and they've since become a big part of the lore!

As far as humans can tell, these cute little guys have been turning up seemingly at random ever since the Queen and her followers arrived a little over twenty years ago.

Imps pop into existence fully-grown, gradually shrinking over the course of their short lives. They typically start off a little less than half as big as a human and will get smaller and smaller before winking out of existence just as suddenly and without explanation as they arrived. Some imps last only months or even weeks before they disappear while the very rare imp that reaches their tenth birthday might get to be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

No two imps look alike, they don't just come in many sizes but also colours and shapes. They can be found sporting all manner of wings, horns and markings on their bodies. Typically an imp will start off with androgynous physiology but this might change over time to match how they identify. A short lifespan doesn't always allow much time for gender, but imps may either find themselves drawn to the examples they see in society or just come into this world with pretty strong feelings about who they are.

They're born knowing the basics of the world around them and how to communicate with others... but they don't know how or why they know- In fact, there really is quite a lot that remains unknown to everyone about imps, even the demons.

Despite this, demons have figured out how to extend the lives of imps indefinitely. Imps which experience an all-too-human fear of death and nonexistence might seek out a demon and serve them, but more on that later.
