Demon
The species from Hell, coming in a large variety of forms and ethnicities, and many different cultures.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
Many species of demon reproduce asexually. Those that do usually either share a common parent, or can cut off a piece of themself that will grow into another person.
Growth Rate & Stages
Demons tend to grow slower, more than some elves even.
Ecology and Habitats
Demons tend to thrive in hot and humid environments, usually 90°F and above.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Demons are mostly carnivorous or consume souls, though a few races can take energy from the heat, or be herbivores.
Biological Cycle
Most demons will have measurements to deal with the cold seasons. Some will grow fur, but most tend to just hibernate.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Demons highly value strong and capable folk. The strongest are higher up on the social ladder, whilst the weakest are pretty much outcasted. It is possible, though, for them to climb and fall.
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Many demon races can be used for hard labour. And, if you're careful enough, for food even.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
They only live in warmer climates on Mirthae, though can be found all over in Hell.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They're more innately skilled in magic, much more than humans on Mirthae.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
There's really no naming scheme to names, at least no official one. Many different races have their own schemes, the most common one being combining the names of the kid's parents.
Beauty Ideals
As long as it isn't too over worldly looking, anything goes. Though with the younger generations, they start to value overworldly looks more.
Gender Ideals
Most don't have a concept of gender, nor really care about them. They tend to just identify others based on sex. So to most, those who say they're a different sex are delusional.
Courtship Ideals
A good way to capture their heart is bragging about what you've done with your strength and abilities. Sometimes they'll put you to the test, as sort of like a first date.
Major Language Groups and Dialects
Old Tongue and New Tongue.
Common Dress Code
They don't have one. You could be covered head to toe in cloth, or completely nude and they wouldn't bat an eye.
Common Taboos
It's considered taboo to seek help. Usually it just involves physical and mental help, but some places extend it as far as simply asking how to figure something out, or where a location is.
History
They were created by a powerful God, only known as the Dark Lord, King of Hell. The very first demons were much more collected than the newer ones. They created the basic social structure, and the language demons speak known simply as Old Tongue. In its heyday, it was a much easier language to understand and learn.
Lifespan
417 years for smaller races, and 1,360 years for larger races.
