Welcome to Gaia! ::

Demon Races: It is worth mentioning that most demons do not appear different from humans. Most demons look like humans, with the exception of a tail and red eyes. All demons have a tail, horns and red eyes, and some demons may have other characteristics.

It is also worth mentioning that the powers of all demons are weaker when in their home plane, and grow stronger as they approach the human plane. (IE. An Encantado in their home plane can barely change the color of their skin, while on the human plane can turn into a dragon)

Strigoi - Strigoi are emotional leeches. They feed off of negative energy and thoughts. The seven deadly sins (IE. Greed, Sloth, etx) are what give the Strigoi their greatest powers. These demons tend to used as assassins and bounty hunters, catching and killing criminals and other evil people. They do not become stronger from positive energy and thoughts.

Spells considered evil also give strength to these demons. Evil priests have the greatest fear of these demons, and usually have constructs to guard them (IE. Golems)

Encantados - Encantado, or "Enchanted ones" are a type of demon blessed, or cursed, with the ability to take other shapes. They can change into any shape imaginable, however, there are limits to this kind of shape shifting. Encantado cannot grow large or smaller (Mass wise) by changing shape, and they must retain their own body weight. They can grow wings, become taller or shorter, but they must always have the same mass. This way, a demon cannot grow 200 feet tall, without being blown away by the wind. This kind of transformation is usually to intimidate, or to compress the form to turn into raw power. Encantado are usually large, and very muscular, ranging from 8-15 feet high. They are also easily distinguished from other demons when in their normal form, since they have skin ranging from red to violet. When these demons change shapes, they can also change the colour of their skin, eyes, and make their horns and tails disappear

Ad-Dajjal - Ad-Dajjal or "Imposters" are a type of demon who are able to disguise themselves as whoever they wish. They cannot change their physical form, but their mannerism, facial appearance, and voices will change to whoever they wish to be. These demons are best suited to be spies and diplomats, as they are very persuasive and their voices have a soothing tone to them. They are the most like humans, with no horns or tails to tell them apart, only their eyes, which is why most of these demons have taken to the habit of wearing veils or masks when around humans.

Rephaim - The Rephaim are the demons who, for lack of a better word, are universally thought of as "Cute". Most of these demons have the same structure and looks as a 5 year old child. However, unlike their looks, they have wings that can span up to 6 feet in width, and are incredibly fast.

Emim - The Emim or "Dreaded Ones" are a race of demon unlike any others. These demons stands anywhere from 10 to 50 feet tall, and have skin thick enough to withstand the strongest cannonball. However, unlike their appearances, these demons are very gentle and peaceloving, often taking care of orphans and injured animals. They are not easily provoked but when something they care about is in danger, they do attack.

Agaliar - The Agaliar are easily the most feared and hated of all the demons. Unlike the other races, they do not have red eyes, or tails, or even red skin. The only thin that sets them apart from humans is a pair of very small horns, that are easily disguised with long hair or a hat. The Agaliar have one very unique ability, they can implant suggestions into anything living.

When on the human realm, the Agaliar are able to turn any suggestion into immediate action, while in the other planes they are merely able to give an impulse to do so.

Alal - The Alal are "Unique" in a sense. They do not have a physical form, they have an ethereal form, like a whisp of air. They cannot be seen unless they choose to bring themselves over from the astral plane into the physical.

Alal cannot die unless they are killed in the astral plane. Alal will get weaker the longer they maintain a physical form, and cannot turn only certain parts of them into a physical form.
