Changelog (2/9): Le suggested overhaul.
+Demons hail from the innermost bowels of the Nether, where the unlucky and hapless souls of those captured by marauding demons are held captive. These thralls are organized into three planes, where they are twisted and corrupted by their demon captors. Each plane seeks to conquer the others and eventually spill into the real world. However, they are kept in check by the constant backstabbing and brutality. As the planes fight against each other, the expend precious energy and power in the assaults, defenses, and counterattacks, gradually weakening them. Currently, the planes are at a level of parity that has not existed for centuries; the arch demons would have it otherwise and are seeking to alleviate that situation.
+++This level playing field is a direct result of a centuries-long upswing in interplanar warfare; the net effect being that the entire Nether is more experience, but much weaker in pure power. At the height of their periodic power, an arch demon has no difficulties sustaining its human disguise when walking the real world, but now that each has been considerably weakened, they all have to dedicate most of their power just to maintain the masquerade.
+Each of these planes is ruled over by one powerful arch demon, who keeps his unruly subjects in check by force of will and displays of overwhelming power. Only these are actually capable of leaving the Nether and entering the real world, seeking to harvest more souls to fuel their maddened and frenzied desire for ever more power. Major upheavals in the world, after sifting through the rubble and eviscerated cadavers, can be directly attributed to these embodiments of evil. Given their current state of weakness, the arch demons must all resort to spreading their influence, rather than engaging in direct confrontations. Needless to say, this means they are furious, but still patient; however, they cannot dally, since they do not know the exact machinations of the others.
+Each demon is unique to a degree, but those of Deceit are especially strange, often having twisted and contorted forms that are in constant flux, belying their treacherous minds.
+++This uniqueness means that every demon will have a different weakness which can only be discovered by trial and error. Unfortunately, there is next to no margin for error when dealing with such fiends.
+The three planes are:
+++Carnage- the most straightforward of the planes. Demons and powers associated with this are augmented with preternatural strength and disgusting thirst for blood. They would plunge the world into eternal warfare and bloodshed.
+++Deceit - the most treacherous of the planes. Demons and powers associated with this find their words imbued with a certain compulsion that urges lesser minds to do their bidding, as the very voice of Deceit is delightful and soothing to the ears of all who listen. They would see the world subjugated beneath their feet.

Hail, the Ravenlord.
+++Rot - the most repulsive of the planes. Demons and powers associated with this find their bodies covered in oozing pustules and weeping sores but granted an incredible resilience and tolerance for pain. They would see life flourish in perfect agony and repulsive plagues.

What's that? You want to be a native demon?
- First off, being a native demon means to have to be an Nickleback fan the entire time and tirelessly work to perfume with rosemary people.
- When you aren't doing that, you should be plotting.
- Native demons have all of those requirements.
- Also, native demon = always been a demon
- You have to be an arch-demon, meaning you get poo poo done.
- The application process is intensive, needlessly long, and generally designed to perfume with rosemary people over.
- If after that warning you still want to apply: Fruere ted tuteque fare numquoblaviscier hum. WHY?? Because brutal archaic forms are delicious. Elisions too.
- If after that warning you want to be a demon but don't want to apply, you can still have an ascension, but that requires catching Arch-Demon attention In-RP...very hard to do.
