Demons

Demon as a term is quite broad. Creatures from Ascendes or Acernos are often referred as “demons” in Mundus. Many such creatures live in Tentaika. Baku, Tengu and Kappa are good examples. But most commonly the term “demon” refers to creatures born under the influence of godly powers.

Demons gain their great physical and mental power from their strong connection to arcane powers of gods. Demons can be separated into three categories of power based on their way to reproduce. Demons which are able to reproduce within their own species are the most weakest as they have sacrificed most of their strong demonic powers to be able to reproduce. Such demons have become stable races. Good examples for such demon races are Kappa and Inugami which both are common demons in Tentaika.

Second category of demons is those who reproduce with other species. These demons are rarer as crossbreeding does not often lead to full breed demons. Most common demon race which spreads to other races is Akuma. Akuma possess unique and fearsome ability to infect humans. Infected humans are slowly corrupted and turned into Akuma if not cured.

The final and most powerful category is those demons which are directly created from arcane rituals. These demons can possess other beings and gain control of their physical body. These demons are often crafted by skilled ritualists who seek great power that can be granted by demon’s soul. Gaki is a common outcome of these experiments where a demon soul with great life force is created and implanted to the subject.
