Appearance:
Demons vary widely in appearance. They often have pointed, elvish ears or vibrantly colored eyes. They may or may not have horns as both types exist. Winged demons are rare and often cannot fly even with the wings. Their skin has a grayish pallor often accented by symbols added in war paint. Their human form is difficult to distinguish from a normal human. However, some demon traits will shine through. Typically the vibrancy in the eyes is most noticeable. An enslaved demon's seal is often runic in nature and carries through both of their forms. It shows as a brand on their skin.
Attitude:
Demons are typically arrogant. Stoic or quick-tempered are the most common personality types. Very few fall anywhere in between. They are very intelligent and resourceful. Lesser demons can often be somewhat childish and will spend much time causing mayhem for others as entertainment. They can be quite cruel and shrewd, feeling little sympathy for others.
General:
Demons have no mystical powers. However, they are much stronger than humans and can heal themselves quite rapidly. They are immortal and very difficult to kill. They are repelled by holy objects and cannot enter a home without being invited.
A hybrid child between a human and a demon has a 1 in 4 chance of surviving. Therefore, they are very rare. They typically take more after their mothers in lifespan and appearance.
A demon's name is his most prized secret. A demon's true name typically consists of one name that is ancient in origin. With it, he can be commanded to do anything.
When photographed or seen in a mirror, a demon will have a black shroud or wispy aura around their figure. In both mirror and photograph, their eyes may become darker or even turn black.
