Demons come from the plane of Abyss, a place where some of the vilest fiends and creatures live. From Obyriths, the ancient demons who used to rule there, to Loumara, the vicious demonic entities that possess objects, creatures, and people.
They are an embodiment of evil and driven by their chaotic instincts, a pure will of force and chaos. Locked in an eternal struggle against devils, they continue to satisfy their hunger for blood and power by waging endless wars across the universe.
While most of them come from the same plane of existence, they reach other cosmos as well, wreaking havoc and causing utter pandemonium. Unless they are commanded by higher powers, they never stop looking to increase their power.

This eerie demon lives in women’s bathrooms, showing its frightful presence only when needed. It asks them if they would like a red or blue cloak.

Should there be no answer, or a wrong one, they simply drag the doomed soul to Hell, never to be seen again.

- Kuchisake-onna
- Oiwa
Chaotic and evil to the core, most demons know little else than destruction and chaos. Whether they are obeying an order or acting on their own accord, they bring pure anarchy, disarray, and carnage wherever they go. For eons, they are kept in check by the devil forces, although recently such conflicts have begun to cool off. This could very well mean they can focus their destructive intentions elsewhere. Decide what type of a demon the character is, their motives, how they came to be, and come up with a name worthy of the discord that will surely follow them anywhere they go.
