In a quick summary Demon chronicles the story of those that were cast from the Heavens, the angels now known as Demons, who have escaped from their prisons and once more entered the world. These Demons are beings of spiritual energy, they can only really be a influence on things by taking over a host that the spirit of is near to dying, making the body their own as the spirit is absorbed allowing them to in fact become who they have taken over. The memories of the past as well as the present mix to a degree as few remember all that much of the time before their imprisonment, some remember far more then most but all of them have at the very least a good idea of how things were and what their goals for the future are.

FAITH- the pure essence of how strong the Demons hold over creation is, this is rated from 1 - 10 with 1 being a very weak Faith and 10 being as strong as one could get here on the mortal world. Even with a fully developed Faith the Demons would never be able to know the kind of power that they had before the fall however still capable of some minor miracles to draw people to belive in them. Faith comes from those they get to have a belief in them and something more then just what they can see thus sustaining the Demons essence.

The Revelation - this is when the Demon makes to much use of thier Faith based powers and reveals themselves before mortals are ready to know about what they are. This can be a reaction of pure awe or terror based on the nature of the demon and how high their torment score has raised. This means that the demon must be careful about how much of thier powers they use lest they make themselves become known to those that might look to destroy them.

Reaping - this is when a demon makes use of the Revelation or making sure to be a major part in some mortals life to get a quick boost in Faith taking all that they have at one time, this both leaves the mortal tired and needing to rest for a good while and opens the path as more to perhaps get awareness to Demon hunters.

Pacts - these are far more long term relationships between mortals and a Demon in which over time a trust is built before making a deal. the Demon would grant the mortal a wish in exchange for accepting the gift as well as a pact of worship the Demon would get a steady small stream of Faith from every person that they had a pact with even years later. this is the best way for a demon to regain and to maintain thier faith base as usually a low chance of any unwanted attention.

Torment - This is the measure of pain and sorrow that moves through the demon since the fall from heaven and the loss of the grace of God. Rated on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being low torment to a high value of 10 at which time a demon would be removed from player control as no longer in control of thier own minds. When the character sins against their own beliefs have to roll a Virtue roll against thier Permanent Torment and if it wins then they hold their ground, if it fails then they gain a point of Temporary Torment. On the gaining of 10pts of temp Torment they get one permanent one, Xp can permanent Torment be lowered. Also acts that go along with their virtues can be used to lower the Torment and restore thier faith and belief in the rightness of what they do. Torment can also have a impact on the use of Lores, causing some destructive effects and twisting the Apocalyptic form from something graceful into a horror that matches the name given to them, Demons.

Apocalyptic Form - this is when the Demon shows thier true nature and changes into the form that is best represented by their House and Primary Lores. Each Demons form will differ based on these while some things might be held in similar they no longer have the full freedom to change their form as they wished from before the War of Wrath.

War of Wrath - the battles in which the Demons of the Rebellion faced against the Heavenly Host for the right to do as they wished and help humanity without the limits that had been set on them by God. The demons lost the war and were so cast from the Heavens into Hell to stay for all eternity, with the exception of their leader Lucifer Morningstar who to this day still none know of his whereabouts.
