any canon information on the origin of demons?


did shism just go "YOLO" and create them, or what?
The origins of basically everything, from Earth to Heaven to Hell to man and gods, is still pretty undefined. The various gods probably each have their own story, and they're probably all wrong.

Is there anulything established for demonic reproduction? Because I did a thing for that.
Sanure and I have been working on that.
Basically, a demon can spend a bit of its power and give up a bit of its domain (which souls it will get) to make a new demon.

I have no clue how Buddhism fits into any fantasy kitchen sink.

Not that I know of.

I dunno. Probably deals organized between the gods of those religions and the various powerful demons of hell.

Sell to Dorthe Bager.
And I'm pretty sure Female doesn't boost the effects of Innocence.

Whenever someone dies, if they are deemed unsuitable to work in heaven for whatever reason, they are sent to hell and some demon or another gets the soul. Which demon does depends on a number of qualities of the deceased. Once, it was simple--child molesters go to one demon, regicide means you go to some other, etc--but between trading bits of each domain and the increase in the number of demons, this system gotten to be more...complex over time. Demons on Earth sometimes "corrupt" people to get them to one demon or another so they can claim a reward from said demon.

Souls are kinda like slaves. They work and form the backbone of the infernal economy. Notable souls, like kings, heroes, and celebrities, are often kept more as "trophy pieces" or else sold to richer and more powerful demons who do so. Powerful souls unsuitable for "trophy"ing are sometimes used as soldiers. (Actually, any soul can, but more powerful ones are more common.) Sometimes, souls are eaten; this empowers the demon, but most would consider the soul to be more valuable than the power increase. It's mostly done as a sign of extravagance.

((Surely that freaky demon guy cared for some of the people that died this turn?))

Sometimes, yes, especially the ones too weak to be likely to get souls other ways. They would have to make deals to avoid angering the (likely much more powerful) demons who would normally get the person's soul, though.

More or less, yes.

<Nuriel, can demons possess other demons?>
<Pretty sure they can't. Not that they'd really need to, demons have plenty of other ways of getting each other to do stuff.>

I propose that whatever we pick, we buy them in squads of five, where one of them is smarter than the rest and can act as their commander in case there are no players around to give orders. Then we could also use some 'elite' sods, also in squads of five, but these are all made up out of sod commander material, so they can work in smaller groups if necessary. I'd propose full synthflesh for the elite ones.
((Something like this works, although depending on how many are made and how many places we're putting them, more than five to a group mightn't be a bad idea.
Also, some "specialist" sods--ones with heavy weapons, or medikits, or something--might be good to sprinkle in. And don't forget communicators of some kind!))

((Not sure enough about the ups and downs of various kinds to say if we should go normal/GM/cyber sods, but maybe a mix wouldn't be a bad idea? Or maybe normal GM sods with cybernetics?))

Isn't biological augmentation likely to start some issues? PR and fate-of-the-universe wise?
((We're in less danger from genemodding sods than not chucking Xan into a lake of lava.))

Cha-cha-charging my amp.

Anton, this project of Auron's... did you authorize that?
"No. I was in no position to prevent it, as he used parts from the admin building, but I issued a warning and a directive to coordinate any construction with me as soon as I became aware of it. He preferred to stay on his own. I say let him be for now. If he won't cooperate all we can do is lock him up, and we're short on hands as it is. If he makes something useful to defense, all the better. If not, we can always dismantle whatever he's doing - or if we need the parts, and we definitely can and will dock the costs from his payroll. To say nothing of any future prototyping grants.
I was planning to go check out his construction site when I was done with this assignment. What is he building there, anyway? Some kind of robot is all I know.
"
"That's what Mister Auron is doing? I think I helped him find stuff. I thought it was something he was supposed to be doing, though...am I in trouble?"

Quote from: Grate -> Mr. Auron
You got me to do things we weren't supposed to be doing. You probably got me in trouble. Meanie.

Create a shield of wind between us and Mr. Boss Monster.
I could try making a shield of stone, sturdier, but now is not a time to try leveling up.
