Devils

Devils are one of three Leaf-planar beings with an incredible amount of control over their Leaf, the other two being Angels and Demons. Devils first came into existence when Mephiles, the God of Hell, saw Elohim's angels and made a modified copy of the angels suited to his tastes. Typically they are created when Mephiles spits on the ground. Within the fluid of the spit, a devil forms and crawls out. Devils tend to not age and are impervious to certain damage, though they can be killed through the right set of actions.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

All devils have wings somewhere on their bodies and two curved horns on their heads. Devils can be more humanoid with monstrous features or all-out monstrous, notably the bone devil (see dnd monster manual).

Genetics and Reproduction

Devils are only made by Mephiles himself or when a mortal or angel decides to undergo a process to become an imitation devil. Besides their origin, they are functionally indistinguishable from true devils.

Ecology and Habitats

Angels live in darkness and order. They can slip through to the Green Leaf in shadows before returning to Hell. They can sometimes be compelled to clean a mess before attacking mortals.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Devils do not need to eat, but knowing the concept of food, they often sample some if offered. They prefer stronger tastes and the burn of edible poison.

Additional Information

Average Intelligence

While devils are completely unrelated to mortal races and have had separate development, they have intelligence comparable to mortals.

Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms

One of the duties that angels have is punishing mortals. If they make an effort to be exceedingly good, devils may become angels.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Eldritch pattern names with "th" sounds and hard "k" sounds are often given. Devils often take last names to distinguish themselves from others with their given names

Gender Ideals

Devils are an androgynous race, though to mortals with cisnormative standards, they appear to be all male.

Courtship Ideals

Devils do not court for romantic or sexual reasons, but they do have fun trying to impress each other with their ideas of how to prolong suffering for mortals. If courting with a mortal will bring them deserved suffering, or will make another mortal suffer, they will use this tactic. It is notable that outright rape is not something that even the worst of the mortals deserve. Jealousy, denial, and humiliation are some of the suffering that courtship can cause that might be deserved.

Relationship Ideals

Some devils make good teams working together and devils might notice the absence of a good partner. This isn't necessarily romantic or sexual, but these teams will stick together.
