    35 KB You are the demons! Anonymous 10/16/09(Fri)15:17 No.6299610  
    In the sixties, a mad Soviet mystic named Alyosha Stadzec succeeded with what should be impossible. He opened a portal to hell. But instead of the infernal legions of hell pouring out to conquer our world, what emerged were beings much like ourselves. Sure, they had horns, red skin and could breath fire, but they were still pretty decent "people".

    Seeing Earth as a way to circumvent that whole "eternal dread" thing hell had going on, some demons migrated, seeking refuge with us mortals. In order to keep them in check, a rigorous screening process was developed to weed out the miscreants. They may be big, strong and ageless, but a face full of grenades still kills a demon, believe it or not.

    A couple of decades later, and the demons are fully integrated into society. Finland even elected the first demon as head of state just a couple of years ago. There are even some human/demon relationships, but that sort of thing is generally frowned upon by both sides.

    Some people even moved into hell against the demons' advice, and were never heard of again. Every now and then, a demon comes to Earth through the rift, but it's a rare occurence these days. Most new demons are born on Earth, and are pretty much humans in every way but the obvious physical differences. Vice versa, human children have begun adopting demon culture, and some even try to look like stereotypical demons, something that annoys most demons to no end.

    Emo kids no longer dress up like vampires, they pretend to be demons, along with "I want to tortutre everything because I love evil". Naturally, most demons find this incredibly offensive on the ground that they would never intentionally hurt anyone without a very good reason. Most of them blame church dogma, which is ironic, since a lot of the demons are devout Christians.

    So when do angels, bent on being multi-cosmic overseers with a self-appointed superior sense of morality, come from an opposing rift and begin a war upon the hellspawn with humans caught in the middle? Some, caught in a daze of apocalyptic and over-devotional fervor, side with the angels. Others stand and fight along side their new compatriots. Yet still most are just trying to survive what seems like Revelations.

    Not really. They're really mostly just average people, with physical differences. Its just that it's hard to actually, y'know, be a demon and not be religious.

    They're basically black people in the early civil rights movements. The religious don't like them for obvious reasons, but they're still glorified/demonized by various media and have had a massive influence on pop culture.

    The badass demon action hero is now the most popular cliché in summer blockbusters, as is the sexy demon seductor/seductress.

    Demon porn is huge on the internet, despite being publicly denounced as disgusting.

    Perhaps, but the issue becomes why anyone would want to leave paradise? Demons are stuck in hell as a punishment. Angels aren't being punished.

    However, since a rift to hell could be opened, it's highly likely the same could be done with heaven. Whether the angels are peaceful or not is a matter open for debate.

    You know, I found it kinda weird. Waking up with a gaping demon portal right outside my bedroom window when I was a little kid, swarms of infernal beings pouring out. Thousands upon thousands, some flying, some running, some sliming their way down the city streets. People began freaking out. I heard a couple of churches actually drank the kool-aid, thinking this was the Rapture and they hadn't been chosen.

    Even stranger, was instead of running around, raping virgins, pisses on church doors, and demanding my sweet sweet innards for lunch, they seemed pretty alright. None of them spoke a lick of English, and no one would give them the time of day, instead they would run off and hide. Or they were one of this dumb ass Satanists, who groveled whenever one of them walked up to them, speaking in tongues and offering goat blood and such.

    Turns out the demons prefer a nice slice of pizza over a goat's liver. Who woulda guessed, eh?

    During the beginning chaos, a few assholes tried to go all holy knight on the demons. They were often found mangled in a back alley, still alive, with a little note in some alien script on his chest. After the language barrier was crossed, due to day time television and a few willing scholars, we found out those notes were letters to the "Highest Authority" about "This being attempted to end my existence by sword point. I defended myself and left him alive to be found" Turns out demons aren't all fire and brimstone.

    Indeed there are. Most have a rather interesting view on christianity, but who would make a better preacher than someone who has seen the fires of hell for himself? Whether people are willing to listen to them or not is an entirely different question. There are basically two camps. Those who are still convinced it's an insidious trick, and those who see the demons as truly reformed and an example of God's grace.

    I was just four when it happened. By seven, the demons had settled down, the authorities had moved in. Seeing them as possible threats, but not hostile, the government went to work intergrating them into our culture. It was a total pain in the ass for them to convince the demons to wear clothes. Some they gave up on, like the ones made entirely of flame, or the ones who shifted and molded like melting wax.

    The first order of business, was to give them a place to live. With so many thousands, the option of just sticking them in a camp and letting them rot was not an option. Massive construction projects began, building cheap but effective apartment complexes. It would have turned out like any other ghetto, but surpisingly, the demons were very well organized and civil beings, and crime in those areas was almost non-existant. Yes, there was some, mostly assaults on lesser demons by crazy zealots, or the occasional drug dealer. But a demon's physicology is much different from a human's, and most drugs either were metaobolized in seconds, or just gave them a slight high that wasn't worth the price in their eyes.

    By the time I was ten, the first Earth born demon had popped out of it's mom. It was the cutest little imp I had ever seen, as he was put on national television, the tired mother, a succubus, and the beaming father, what could only be called a pit fiend, happily holding his little baby boy. This proved that despite their looks, they were at least like all other living things.

    Humans had just began to accept the idea of demons living in their world at that time. Churchs still tried to find some way to send all the demons back through the gates, claiming since it was still open, the foul beings should return to where they came. They tried to brand them as the cause of all the suffering in the world, how they tried to corrupt good men into commiting evil acts, all the typical stuff that a preacher tried to blame on Satan, not the failings of humankind in general.

    No one bought it. While they did look freaky, they paid their taxes, got jobs, did community service, and some of the ones who got rich even donated vast sums to charity. Some people thought that they were modern day saints with horns instead of halos. With it's credibility sinking faster then the douce you just dropped in the toilet, the Church promptly shut up, and went back to giving each other spiritual blow jobs over how much God loved them.

    The first demon to make it into a public office, just a sheriff in a backwoods town in Wyoming, made the headlines. Just some large, muscular dragon faced blue guy, proudly wearing the hat and badge, even wearing a pair of mirrored shades. But that was enough to help sway peoples' opinions even more. If the Law could be enforced peacefully by a demon, why not other things?

    Thats when it got real weird. The first Catholic demon priest. A tiny emaciated thing with wings and little horns, wearing the robes and collar, kneeling before Jesus. The Pope nearly died due to rage. He demanded to see the demon's service, to make sure it was not profane. No one knows what happened behind the Church doors to this day, but the Pope emerged after Sunday Mass, in that little Church on 7th and York, tears rolling down his eyes. Since that day, no demon was denied entry to the Church, or the right to be a priest.

    "Brothers and Sisters, I believe in God. I believe in Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be His name. I believe in His swift anger and jealous protection.
    I know what it is to fall far from Him into darkness. Not only have I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I have LIVED in it.

    But I also believe in His mercy. In His redeeming love. The parable of the prodigal son teaches us that no-one, no matter how far they have fallen, no matter unworthy they think they are, is unloved by the Father. We only have to turn again to Him with hearts full of sorrow and say: "Father, I'm sorry. The things I have done, the things I have been... I have sinned terribly. Please, if you can, forgive me."

    And the father will smile. For God is love. God is forgiveness. He only wants us to love him like he loves us.

    I... am not as you. I have been many things in my life. I have seen and done things which would drive the most loving heart to hatred and terror. But even I, lowly as I am, sinful as I am, was given a second chance by our Father in heaven. I am living proof that there is always hope.

    Julian of Norwich once wrote, "all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well". I thank the Lord every day for this truth.

    From a sermon by Fr. Gregory, formerly known as Abrazius

    War has run to a standstill, too. We've entered a time of relative peace due to the demons- which, when you think about it, is pretty funny. We get the occasional religious nut-job blowing himself up in an attempt to cash in his ticket to heaven, but that's every so often.

    Oh yeah, the demons say that's just bullshit. Back when we had our little psychotic religious wars they had a horrid influx of cocksuckers that thought they were going straight to hell- trying to martyr yourself in a fancy way isn't the best way to get a ticket up next to the head honcho.

    But the reason war ended was simple: The demons ended it. The Good ol' U.S. of A was actually the first country to use demons as troops- partly because some of the demons that came through WANTED to join the army.

    Do you know how scary it is to have a ten foot tall, red-skinned, horned son of a bitch with a tail pop up next to you accompanied by the smell of brimstone and fire? It didn't help that they eschewed what we called weapons- something about anything more complicated than a club or sword breaking down around them.

    So think of it like this. You've got a squad of demons popping into your base, armored in their own gear- after all, they made this shit in hell to pass time- equipped with weapons that have the potential to be bigger than you and scarier than anything you've seen, and you'll shit your pants.

    That's how the wars ended. Now there's a U.N. lead group of demon-and-human shock troops that are used to stymie threats of war. Just the mention of them tends to lead to people forgetting about their fight.

    By the time I was thirteen, almost no one seemed to care any more about that swirling demonic portal. The barricade that had been erected around it for nine years finally came down, the occasional demon who popped out greeted by a human who had learned the demon's language, and led off to immigration. I was going to sixth grade that year. Imagine my suprise when I saw that little demon boy we had all seen on the TV attending kindergarten. He was a tiny little thing, maybe only three feet tall, with little bat wings, a miniture crown of horns, cute little fangs sticking out from under his lips, and a little tail, didn't even have the sterotypical spade at the end. He was obviously very nervous, as little whiffs of smoke poured out of his nose all the time. A few of the meaner kids tried to make fun of him. Those of us who had been there the day the portal opened and saw how human the demons were, didn't stand for it. I got a three day suspension, and a very long, elegant thank you note from his mother for my troubles. I still have it too.

    Brand names had begun to appear, tailored to demon tastes. But the idiots who made them used the sterotypical demon idea, making things like "Brimstone Flakes" "Soula Cola" "Pit Fiend Stain Remover" The law suits took three months to clear up, and the companies had to pay a few million to various parties over insults and racism. We found out that the demons liked Cocoa Puffs, Dr. Pepper, Top Ramen, just the way it was. No need to slap some cute little demon on the front and try and market it to demons, they bought what they liked, no what we told them to like. Now if only we could take a page out of their books....

    I can't tell you how funny it was, turning sixteen and going to driving class, with this massive hulk of a demon trying to wedge himself into those tiny little test cars they have you practice in before they put you onto the road. I saw a lot more adult demons there then I did human kids. I guess it's because as a human, we are raised with the knowledge of cars, and how they will make life a lot easier, give us much needed freedom and all that jazz. Most kids drive their parent's cars long before the State says they can. But these demons, some of who remember the fall of Lucifer, had never imagined such a thing, and took a lot of getting used to.

    Before the State allowed demons to apply for a driver's permit, they used public transit. A lot of public transit. I can not tell you how much it sucks to be stuck between a slug demon and a frosty. Because of their need to get around in the modern world, they pushed legislation through to revamp public transit. Special sections of buses for the less savory demons to occupy, wider benches for the hulks to occupy, ugly as sin drivers so the succubi wouldn't distract them while driving. All those and more got shuttled through, and put into effect. Hell, some of the bus drivers you see now are demons. They need work too, ya know.

    Demons really did change the workplace. Constructions sites work twice the speed, as the stronger demons can easily lift and carry around an I beam, while the spirits of fire can weld metal together with just a touch. Customer service is now comprised of almost 90% succubi, while trouble shooting is taken care of by imps. Need your house cleaned? Just call a filth demon. They will just slime their way through your house, eat all the trash, dust, grime, dirt, gunk and funk, and leave it shiny and new. Just be sure to have the air freshener on hand.

    Yeah, make them varied instead of "everyone is good, let's invert the bible". There are still demons who are pissed at God, and if given an opportunity, would rebel against him.

    They would possibly try to subvert humans, telling them how shitty God actually is, and that they shouldn't worship someone so cruel.

    By the time I finished high school, demons had intergrated fully. Gone were the images of demons standing over suffering humans with pitch forks. In were images of pit fiends in business suits and brief cases, imps working at McDonalds, succubi as nurses and sales reps, bloodthirsters as school gym teachers, plaguebearers as garbage men and sewer techs. Unimaginable horrors working on your computer, and their children going to class with yours.

    Human culture and demon culture were melding slowly. This was the age when the iconic demon action hero and his sultry lady demon friend showed up often on the silver screen. Cop buddy flicks starring a human cop and a demon cop were common as well. One of the highest grossing one's was the real life story of the first demon sheriff, dealing with the meth problem in Casper Wyoming.

    You can expect that during this time, a lot of demonic musicians came and went. Heavy metal bands across the world tried to recruit one or two to their cause. Most of them got turned down. A demon didn't want to sing songs about hell and suffering and all that jazz. They spent hundred to thousands of years dealing with that shit, they didn't want to try and glorify it.

    The most noted was Telno Fir, a wax demon. He/she/it was the best vocalist the world had ever seen, being able to meld his/her/it's windpipe like a flute while singing. Concerts starring him/her/it were some of the most expensive in the world, but he/she/it demanded all proceeds go to charity. Telno Fir lived a very simple life because of this, but when asked in an interview, he/she/it proclaimed that it had lived a life of greed before it's trip to Hell, and recalls every sorrowful face that it's thirst for wealth caused, and would not endure that again.

    It was also around this time that the press caught on the to the first couple disastrous hybrid birth stories... it was quickly agreed that human mothers just could not handle a demonic childbirth - too much heat from the fetus often cooked the mother from the inside out.

    Still, it was bound to happen, humans and demons had been living very closely now for years - and there had been some love stories, although very often the physical boundries prevented anything more than 'just love' in these relationships.

    the first documented hybrid being born alive was at a hospital in Poland. A human father and a sucubus mother. The child appeared demonic as the mother, sharing its mother's crimson red skin, tiny horns and nubs on its back that appeared to be early stages of wings.

    How newborn cubi children appeared was already well known - and this one looked to fit the bill. The only difference was the babies eyes: it had human eyes, brown - as opposed to its mother's black orbs with fiery slits like that of a snake.

    this was quite the sensation, although the remote location of the birth and the fact that the couple lived in a small farming village in the middle of absolutely nowhere, made it easier for them to avoid the world press. Sure, the occational TV-van did appear, plus rumor had it that the couple had recieved some interesting 'sponsorship' offers, but it is as of yet unknown if any of those were accepted.

    this was the first publicly confirmed hybrid. there had following the rift opening been countless stories of shady cults and even more shady human agencies trying to breed super hybrids or worse to further their own ends - none confirmed of course.

    it was business as usual, in this our world of man and demon.

    Now, not every human alive was willing to let demons into their lives. The first human/demon relationship to rise up caused all sorts of issues. Once more, human racism reared it's ugly head. The couple, one Samantha B. Freddrik, and her infernal partner, who we will call Ted, because his real name is prounced like a throatful of phlegm followed by a snake who just inhaled a helium balloon, ending with what can only be described as shell casings falling, had their home firebombed by "species purists".

    This of course made frontpage news, and protests from both sides of the issues flared up. No group lacked either humans or demons. The purists declared that a creature of Earth and a creature of Hell should not copopulate. To do so would be to spit in the eye of the Creator and risk his wrath. And seeing as demons coming out of Hell proved there was a Hell, it wasn't much of a step to believe in God now adays.

    The Unionists, declared that love is love, regardless of species (A statement that got a few beastiality fans in their midst...) and if the Creator did not approve of it, he would have struck the couple down the moment they shared their first kiss. The arguement went on for months, neither side willing to budge on their arguement. No one seemed to pay any attention to the first couple, until she was rushed to the hospital because she was going into labor. THAT sure got the attention of the media once again. The hospital staff was fighting them off, until Samantha and Ted let one of them in. Just one. And demanded they give the tape to ALL the news networks, free of charge, otherwise they would sue the poor sod's ass for all he was worth.

    My theory is that demons would need nothing to survive, but still crave human delights. The unifying theme of demons is "desire without need." So while an angel is unkillable*, untiring, fearless, etc., a demon is all of the above, but reacts similarly to how a mortal would, no matter how irrational that may seem. They desire to eat, and will still want to, no matter the fact that they can't starve.

    (Not OP, just sharing my idea.)

    One thing that the Demonologists noticed about the demons is that it seemed like the demons got stranger the longer the portal was open. When the door between the worlds first opened, the things that came through were thin, hungry humans with red skin. As time went on, the demons became less and less humanoid. In the past, this was often remarked upon but no conclusions could be drawn on it, since the demons were unwilling to speak about the "races."

    Recently, something came through the rift that was just a jibbering pile of flesh. Dozens of eyes covered it's body, and reaching arms clawed against the barricade. A U.N. unit of demons and humans was dispatched and the creature was destroyed.

    The demons seemed unnerved when they saw the corpse.

    Three hours later, it was broadcast worldwide. The father, some sort of lizard/bat demon and the mother, a lightly tanned middle eastern woman, holding their baby girl, too happy to say anything. The girl looked mostly human, but had a few patches of scales on her arms and legs, and an adorable little ring of them around her neck and torso, like a natural necklace. She did have her father's eyes however, a pair of pitch black orbs with light golden slits down the center.

    After the birth, the Purists were left with their jaws dropped. Not only could demons and humans mate, there was no identifiable flaws with the child. Their complaints of how imcompatable the genes would be, how any child born would be some horrible monstrosity that would die a few hours later, were proven false, and thrown out.

    Scientists around the globe came from far and wide for a chance to examine the child. All of which were turned down by the father. One was actually thrown out of their downtown apartment, which was thankfully on the second floor, and right above a massive pile of cardboard boxes. He had snuck in during the night and was trying to take a blood sample of his daughter, when he woke up to her crying. Fully expecting some crazed Purist nutjob trying to kill his daughter, he did what any reasonable father would, and get the bastard out of his house in the quickest way possible.

    The scientist took it to court, and was found guilty of breaking and entering, and of trying to harm a newborn. He is still rotting in jail.
    It wasn't until she got a bloody nose because she ran into a wall, that Ted and Samantha gave a sample of scientists to play with. They just didn't want strangers stabbing their daughter with needles. Who knew if one of them had something laced on it that would hurt their precious one?

    I don't know why people are asking if there are angels. If we are basing this on the various Judeo-Christian religions, then obviously there are angels. Demons are the Angels that joined Lucifer in rebellion against The Throne. They were all cast out, nephillim (however the hell you spell that) etc etc etc...


    So yes. There are Angels, but I think they would probably be to busy carrying out God's "just as planned"isms to worry about a few former allies who're trying to shirk their judgment. Besides, maybe some of the angels are demon sympathizers and are getting kind of tired of how strict Heaven is and maybe they want to come down there also.

    Just to point it out, Grigori (watchers) were the fallen angels. The Nephilim were their half-human bastard hybrid giant monsters that wandered around ante-deluvian earth raping and pillaging shit.
    And Lucifer is a reference to a Babylonian king, the real Satan (which is a title meaning "Deveiver") was a watcher, possibly the angel Azreal. There are a few other Grigori who are suspect though.

    Now, some people were worried that as an immortal race that needed to eat and drink, their population would eventually spiral out of control and we would be faced with a resource shortage. This worry was put to rest, when it was discovered that demons do NOT need to eat, they merely enjoy the taste of food and the sensation of being full. It is the oldest pleasure besides sex.

    One demon proved this, by denying himself food or water for a month. Three days without water will kill just about any human. After the month long period, during which time he had lived his life, sans food, he told the media he felt just fine, although his throat was a little dry. Indeed, after doing a few physicals, comparing the results to the ones he did a few months ago, he was exactly the same in every regard.

    After that, the government issued stamps to demons. Since they did not need food, they were to be given a fair amount, but not where near enough to sustain any human. The demons did complain, but members within their numbers showed that it was a sacrifice they would have to make. It's not like they had food back in Hell.

    Nothing stopped demons from growing their own food, and with the DRA, Demon Ration Act, the hobby of gardening became very popular amongst demons. The image of a succubi crouched over a tomatoe garden, wearing over alls and a shady hat, became a very popular selling icon, so much that a company run solely by demons used it to sell "Sal's Succulent Vegatable" brand home garden kits.

    Demons were mostly naturalist. They preferred a house of rock, clay and wood at first, as in Hell shit got done with your own hands. However, when they learned history (again), they had to admit led tvs and drywalls were better than what we were using before. It still took them some time to get accustomed to oil fumes, what with all the memories.

    Medieval and ancient history got an incredible boost from some of them. One guy named Andu had first-hand knowledge of the tales of Gilgamesh, as he had heard them near their conception. Youngest son of another king Gilgamesh, who decided adventure was better than not getting inheritance.

    Many demons end up being historians or anthropologists. It's a cultural thing. A few really old ones got into the martial arts and self-defense business, as laureate teachers of medieval arts. Most of them are Inquisition-time. Still, most common demons prefer the likes of aikido and tai chi.

    >>6301568

    So, here we are, twenty years after the portal swirled open and the legions of hell came pouring out. Twenty years, and we have demons taking care of our elderly, preaching the Gospel with more passion than any human ever could, running a few businesses, and flipping our burgers. Some humans complained that the demons were taking jobs away from hard working humans.

    They failed to notice that during this flux of demonic immigrants, thousands upon thousands of jobs had been created. From the first few months scrambled panic to create somewhere for them to live, to the Public Transit reforms that hired bus drivers and maintance, to the new science branches dealing with demonic physiology, to the new surge of teachers needed to teach the Earth born demons, unemployment has gone down.

    Because the hordes of Hell came, our world is better off then it had been in the first place. Demon police patrol the streets endlessly, not needing to sleep and never feeling tired. Infernal doctors, with fingers like blades, perform the most risky surgery with an almost perfect track record for patient survival. Filth that once choked our city streets and sewers are taken care of by teams of filth demons, looking for a snack.

    Some of us just hope the demons are here to stay. Because that swirling portal in the clouds has us all worried....

    There, done.

    I dunno, it went from an interesting premise. What if demons were one of us? Just slobs like one of us? Just a stranger on a bus?

    But now it seems like they've become their own mary sue race, capable of doing everything a human can do, being super magnanimous in temperament, etc. etc.

    What the hell.

    Okay, we get it. Not all demons are bad in this setting.

    Either it gets to the point that humans start getting pissed at demons for not telling them about the shoggoths coming through the rifts, such that civil war erupts, or we start seeing the more "demonic" side of the demons.

    If they're supposed to be an analogue to the early civil rights era of the Black community, then they're failing, because the Black community had more than just non-Blacks to try to prove themselves against.

    Theologist and many others have approached demons about the nature of angels, heaven, and God. Of course, most of them know squat except for what they learnt HERE, which caused many confusions and revivals.

    Finally, when one true antediluvian was found, and was proven she had her memories somewhere (the female part was a surprise, given how she was mostly featureless), she said she remembered street riots between people and demons... and people and demons who were possesed.

    Books were turned all over, and scholars finally remembered that most angelic accounts speak of either inhuman forms of awe and fire, or physical beings who somehow exuded an aura of holyness. Every spell to bind angels for favors was about binding ethereal beings to somewhere they couldn't get out too...

    The antediluvian said it was something you had to live with, but that she hoped those gang wars wouldn't be a problem in the now heavily populated world.

    It happened after a while. We sat here with our dicks on our hands, beating off over how good the demons had been to us. We didn't think of what else lived with them.

    The first one of the 'warbloods'- that's what they called themselves- appeared in a manner we weren't accustomed to. Instead of walking through the portal like all the other demons he..uh, popped up in a fancy way.

    One of the more 'vocal' anti-demon voices had been giving a speech. His name was Charles McGovern, and he lead a faction of super-zealous monotheists who believed that the demons were simply leading us into a false sense of security. His speech was televised and translated into every language you can think of, broadcast on every reputable news channel.

    Halfway through, after uttering the words 'The only outcome will be WAR, heed my warning!' he locked up. Started foaming at the mouth, his limbs snapping to his sides. People thought he was having a seizure. He ended up floating into the air and the people standing closest to him started wretching up their guts. I'm not kidding here- i mean they threw up their guts.

    Charles, on the other hand, stated to spasm and twist. His head rotated a full three-hundred-sixty, bones and muscles snapping and tearing. People were just watching, screaming, crying, you name it, they were doing it.

    After a while his skin was flayed off and his body just started to warp and increase in size. You ever see a weedy fuck of about 130 lbs explode into a mass of meat that's easily four times that?

    The meat changed, too. Anything metal around it was sucked into it, pulling the thing into a strange shape. It was vaguely humanoid, that was for sure- about eight feet tall.

    The feed from the cameras went out around this point, but when they came back he was there. He called himself 'Theron', said he was a 'Warblood', and that we were miserable shits for giving sanctuary to the worthless mongrels of demon-kind.

    This guy was -scary-. Like I said, he was about eight feet tall, and looked like a dude who had been skinned alive. His bones were metal and clung to wet, dripping flesh like something out of a nightmare.

    His mouth was semi-human, but whenever he talked you could see needle-pointed fangs in his mouth. As if this wasn't enough, the fuck had this weird armor on. His helmet looked like one of those freaky beetles- y'know, with the big fucking pincher-horns? And he had a fuckin' cape, too, but it looked like it was made out of skin.

    The worst part is that he was 'tame' compared to the others.

    What was known as Angels, and confused with many other things by history, is now thought to be a form of ethereal lifeform... like a deer or something. Psychologist gave them the name of Psychopomps, revamping an outdated concept.

    It seems one of them can adopt a certain posture and intentions, then influence the real world by their very presence. Most information points to the lesser beings, more logic and mission than actual personality, although some could present behaviours resembling a personality. The Old Guard of the femons in earth think of them like wild animals, which can give you mind rabies if they are nasty enough.

    Psychologists now have to study Psychopomp behaviour and symptoms in general, given how demon psychology expanded their doctrine sevenfold.

    In the early seventies, the first demons began to join global armies. Many of the demons condemned this act, thinking that it could only lead down the same road the demons have been following for milenia untold.

    Fortunatly, they were wrong about the vast majority of inductees, they were able to restrain themselves and do the job without forsaking themselves, as so many humans have done before and since.

    All except for one. Ma'alch was a demon field medic, attached to one of the most voilent, brutal and savage units in the whole vietnam war. Though horrified at first, the demon eventual found that, Brutalised village by Brutalised village, he began to pine for 'the good old bad days'. The companies violent tour came to an end with a lone, blood smeared and weary demon breaking through the jungle with a smoking town and all of his dead comrades behind him. Ma'alch had finally given in to his bloodlust, horrificly murdering the vietnamese and marines alike. He used all his demon wile and (by this point) to spin a story about how this was all the work of a deranged officer, who had to be put down in the end.

    After Ma'alch returned to the United States, he bagan to find others (mostly older demons or those in the same state of vague nostalgia he experienced) to gain power and dominion over the world, wreaking havoc and destruction in the sake of their own pleasure. The demons oratory skill proved effective, and the cult had significantly grown by the time of it's greater discovery to the world. It was smashed by a demon-human coalition UN force but many, including Ma'alch himself, escaped before the battle; forced underground and on the run, he is quietly gaining a body of demon support, along with human cults deluded by promises of mercy, power and a fair share in the new hell.

    Theron booked it pretty fast, to be honest. We lost all track of him, short of a series of brutal killings that basically had his name plastered all over them.

    The worst part was that the killings targeted demon-human families. We found one family tied together, flayed, their plucked out and hanging from a street by their entrails. A dad, a mom, and two little kids.

    Smeared on the ground under them, in their own blood, was a taunting message from Theron himself.
    It had the taste of one of those cheesy bad-guy monologues, but then again, the guy did mean business.

    Shortly after people learned of the arrival of a second 'Lord'. This guy popped up in Russia, near the Altay Mountains. Said his name was 'Iskender'- Alexander, for those of you who like things all English and fancy.

    He said he was the reason Alexander was so great. The reason the ancient leader had conquered so much. Even said he had intended to lead Alexander into ruling the whole world, had the monarch not resisted his control.

    So, Iskender offed him. That's why Alexander the Great died, folks- he pissed off a 'Demon Lord.'

    Fifteen feet of metal-covered, draconic monstrosity. He had wings and a tail, too- cliche, yeah, I know. He appeared when a U.N. task force was mopping up some insurgents that were hiding out int he mountains.

    Iskender blasted his way out of a fucker's chest- not even kidding here. The insurgents said they worked for Theron, and were bringing 'The magnificence of the dragon of hate' into our world.

    'Course, the soldiers put a bullet in his head.

    Turns out Iskender can change 'forms', too. Looked like those old-school dragons you read about in the stories. He killed every single one of the soldiers, then changed.

    You'd think that's bad enough, but he went on a bit of a rampage in California a few months back. Him and Theron got together and decided they'd make a little mess.

    They wrecked the majority of the Golden Gate Bridge. Both decided to drop down in the middle of rush hour. We don't know exactly how many people they offed, but we do know that they blew the fucking bridge apart with whatever they wanted to do.

    Theron showed us what he could do, not counting being a sneaky fuck and offing people when they least expected it. Turns out the guy is the epitome of a duelist. He spent most of the day taking out soldiers with a fancy rapier he was carrying around. Didn't help that he was FAST as fuck too- but he could be hurt. Fucker got lit up by a bunch of .50 cals and some sorry fuck who decided to blow a bunch of grenades on him in point blank.

    Iskender, on the other hand, is somethin' else. He charged a tank head on and got himself shelled- and that only pissed him off! He was going to town with a big-ass mace, taking out cars and people like he was playing put-put mini golf.

I actually think that all the demons moving back to earth were actually once humans who became demons in hell after dying.

    It turns out they ripped another hole open between the 'worlds'. But the problem here was that we were getting tons of 'bad' demons rushing through- nothing on the level of Theron or Iskender , that's for sure.

    Imps, blade-monsters, y'anno. Run of the mill shit. The religious nuts were having a fuckin' field day, too. So anti-demon sentiments started to blow up all over the place.

    The first 'act' though targeted a little kid. About six years old, really- part blade demon, part human. Cute little kid, had a mohawk made of these blades that could slice you apart, but was otherwise human short of his silver skin.

    Some uppity fucks noosed him and dragged him around, saying they'd deal with the demons one at a time.

    Which is probably what lead to the third 'Lord' popping up.

    But that's a different story for another time, since I've got to get back to dinner.

    Though human narcotics do not affect demons very well, the demons have had many millenia to concoct some grade-A psychotropics, uppers, downers and many more. Anything to dull the experience of living in the fucking Inferno. These compounds go by many names, some of them even pronouncable by humans, and each produce various intense rushes of sensation; some mimic the intensity of orgasm times a thousand, some are like true love in powder form, or a ten course gourmet meal stored in a single injection.

    Needless to say, the demons brought this stuff with them when they came through and has found its way into the human market. Some compounds closely resemble existing human drugs and so have labels similar to them; "Cocytus Cocaine", "Hell-orine", "Pit Pot" Being ideally suited for the demon physiology, a normal-sized dose of Pain or Rapture would kill a human user stone dead. Therefore, most humans have to take diluted drops, and even then can OD if the dose is just a few micrograms too high. Those that survive claim the rush is worth it, but the death toll has been catastrophic.

    A few Avarice Demons have become crime lords, peddling these concotions to demons and humans alike. These criminals often represent some of the biggest challenges for law enforcements, as a demon henchman hopped up on the Infernal equivalent of PCP won't be even phased by anything short of an anti-tank round.

    And let's not even get started on the drive-by fireballs.

    One thing to keep in mind, is that a lot of the stereotypes people have about Demons may actually be somewhat true. Succubi won't consume your soul through intercourse, but most of them suffer from some degree of sex addiction. Pit Lords are right control freaks; put one in charge of an organisation and he'll run it near-flawlessly, but actually have them working under someone, and they'll quickly get frustrated and irritable. It's never enough to stop them actually getting on and living their lives, but it supplies plenty of ammunition for those who want to take cheap shots, and means the negative stereotypes that hound them probably won't ever be fully swept away.

    Lovecraftian balls of eyes and tentacles probably aren't going to be seen by many people, either because the parents shelter them from the outside world or they can pass for elder demons.

    A sweet little girl with horns is going to be seen as a sweet little girl with horns, but a giant floating eye with a little pink bow on the top is a bit harder to identify. If they look like children they will be called children.

    I'd like the idea of angels in Hell, tasked with the punishments of the demons within, and not pleased that they're out to Earth. So one day, when a demon is emerging from the portal, something else comes with it. Nothing notable at first, a globe of light floating gracefully downwards. Then it extends into a sheet, connects one end of itself to the other in a bizarre mobius strip, eyes start opening on its surface, each one humming an unearthly song. The next moment, every demon on a two-kilometer radius is reduced to burning salt. The creature "de-activates" into a globe of light again and keeps floating serenely on the portal.

    Demons identify it as a herald of a Throne - not an actual angel, merely a harbinger of one. Chaos ensues.

    They talked about angels and how they share certain characteristic with god.
    What was particulary interessting was that angels exist outside time. Every moment in time is the same for them. So in the moment of all creation, when god made the angels they practically instantly chose to either follow god or not.

    See, now, this has some interesting corrolarys.

    For instance, if angels, God and Heaven exist outside of time and space, this means that so did the Fall. That means that, as far as we can percieve it, the Fall is STILL GOING ON and always has been. Rather than being a primordial event, it could be stretched out across eons to our perceptions. Newly-fallen could be dropping across the face of the Earth constantly - perhaps one landed in Tunguska.

    Maybe thats also why heaven and hell are supposed to be eternal. It´s not eternal how we usualy understand it, but it´s just outside time. Which would mean that you ARE already in either heaven and/or hell, despite being still alive...

    But the real question is: has this any impact on the setting at hand?

    Certainly. We've been assuming previously that most all of the demons are ancient and that the Fall was eons back. But if the Fall is still happening, we could get some really fucking confused Fallen landing in the mortal realms, confused to see people they have known out there suddenly metamorphosed.

    You've heard of lost time, right? Imagine losing millenia, or millions of years. That would get pretty harsh on a psyche.

    Given that angels and demons are used to living outside of time, I would imagine their languages would either have no tense (why would something with no concept of 'future' need a future tense?) or some really mind-melting tenses that we can't wrap our minds around. That might be part of the language barrier - getting used to thinking and talking in a mere four dimensions.

    Some demons may talk about the Fall as being over, others as if they had just come from the start of it. Demons may be easily confused by time and hence often be tardy, or turn up to appointments they haven't even made yet.

    The first angel sighting occurred outside the department of migration and immigration. According to eyewitness accounts prior to its appearance there was a blinding flash of light, followed by the arrival of what has been described as a ten-foot tall armored figure with three pairs of what appeared to be wings that looked "like ethereal feathers". Witnesses say he/she/it went inside the building and proceeded to line up at the new arrivals desk.

    When it was the angel's turn, the (according to his own recollection) nervous asked the angel the purpose for his/her trip to earth, the angel responded that it was just here to reconnect with some old friends, and proceeded to present documentation. After all the necessary paperwork was accomplished, the angel left.

    The being was later spotted at the residence of one 'Izual', a demon who had immigrated just two years prior. According to neighbors "they were sitting on the back porch and having a spot of tea."

    There is a big problem with this thread. These demons are supposed to be just like us, so how come the world hasn't fallen into complete disarray? Rather than starting off with a golden age we should have first had world war fucking three. If demons are just like us then there is going to be all kinds of shit because humans cause all kinds of fucking problems for themselves.

    Most demons don't even need to be malevolent to cause problems. As another said, succubi and such getting into certain industries is going to unfairly push humans out. Demons are all around superior beings that no mortal can compete with so humanity is going to quickly lose ground.

    Multiple conflicts of various sizes are inevitable.

    Religion would be a mess. On one hand God has pretty much been proven true, but what of these demons? Truly a demon could preach about Hell better than any human, but CAN they be trusted? Is it wise is us to tamper with a now very real God's work? That's what the debate would be. This man who opened the rift... is he a saint, or will he (or has he) found himself condemned much as Lucifer was?

    You cannot have such a massive population suddenly influx into an already established population and NOT have massive conflict. Long term these problems are only going to get worse. As the decades roll on some human political groups and intellectuals may start speculating that as a whole the human species is being manipulated. Being mortal they can't as easily form lasting agendas that carry on generation after generation, but demons can.

    Slowly demons are going to begin to dominate every facet of life.

    So ultimately... lets say two hundred years later demons are the most influential groups behind economy, media, and politics. Humans have, intentionally or not (on behalf of demon kind) become second-class citizens, unofficially. Technically humans have all the same rights but they simply can't perform as well as a demon.

    A particular movement gains ground; this is the lead-up to Armaggeddon. The demons threaten the very survival and prosperity of the human race and now only God can save mankind. So many begin to believe soon that Christ will return and the rapture will being. Devout humans will ascend to Heaven and then God will make war on the now demon-populated Earth. Believers of-course feel that in the end the demons and their human supporters will be banished to hell again and humanity will be left to rebuild the Earth. Some also suspect the demons ARE liars and that they WERE manipulating humanity for thousands of years before the rift was opened.

    Of-course, this is all just a belief... it hasn't been proven true so far but some are taking initiative. The U.N. with the help of the demon kind stopped all wars, but now they're seen as oppressive. Some yearn for the days of old when individual nations were still sovereign.

In order to keep up, the Soviet Union moved it's research into theologic and dark magicks. They opened a portal to hell, and found it...

    Barren. Only a few thousand demons were around. Apperantly, there had been some sort of disease that had ravaged the demonic populous. So Soviet and Demon made a pact to strengthen there numbers.

    Okay, so we seem to be going largely for a Judeo-Christian thing. But how would these demons react to Eastern schools of thought? Not necessarily the religions, since it seems we've proved them false, but philosophies such as Zen and Buddhism. It might be a good way for some of them to master their urges and find some peace on Earth that they couldn't in Hell.
