Overview

Historically one of the most persecuted and detested races, 'Demon' is a broad term applied to a race that evolved from lower forms of life, and separated itself into different tribes based on certain traits. Not to be confused with Devils, as most have absolutely no real connection to Hell. Demons have no universal banner, and follow no single racial ruler. They come in varying shapes in sizes, from humanoid creatures to giant monsters. As such, there is no hard set trait that all have, and are quite possibly (challenged only by humans) the most versatile species.

Demons have their origins on Earth, where they were labelled as such by some of the more religious humans arriving after The Great Exodus, who had just left a world overrun by the monsterous Devils they are often confused with, and drove them away from their settlements in fear. Demons have never had a true home on Earth in the years since, and can be found mostly anywhere. Many have even their way to Disparatus over the years, perhaps moreso than any other race from Earth. There have been some reports of Demons being seen on Disparatus even before travel between the two planets was established, but these stories are generally disregarded as fiction by most.


Racial Passives

Demonic Diversity (Racial Passive): Because Demons are such a wide range of diverse beings, their racial allows for this variation. The real power of their race is their adaptability and differences.
Positives: +1 Positive Trait for free (does not count towards the limit). May also take on one sub-racial passive.
Negatives: Due to their diversity, demons do not feel that connected as a species as a whole. Cannot use any passives or tech elements or skills that pertain to race, such as the "Xenocide" tech element, or the bonuses incurred from dealing with your own race.


Sub-Racials

In addition to the normal racial passive, all Demons receive one of the following sub-racials.


Versatile Demon (Sub-Racial): A demon who has just the abilities they need to pull through in a pinch.
Effect: +1 Tier 1 Universal Passive. The tech elements "Affinity Modifier" and "Desperation Boost" can be stacked three times each instead of just twice.


Winged Demon (Sub-Racial): A demon with wings. Yep.
Effect: Access to the Flight passive.


Enduring Demon (Sub-Racial): A demon who has gained strength through hardship or atonement.
Effect: Can have up to three kickbacks on techniques instead of two.
