There's a more complete answer up with the Rules. But the short answer is yes. Daemon's can change forms.

Name:Lorette Lècuyer
Age: 35
Species: Human
Occupation: CEO of Apex Implementations.
Place of Residence: As far as everyone that knows her is aware, she sleeps under her desk.
Partner Name:Tasosael
Threat Rating:S-Rated.

Partner Name:Tasosael
Threat Rating:S-Rated.
Swordsmanship: Lorette is an accomplished Fencer and has proven to be more than formidable with her blade. Never one to sit idly on the sidelines, anyone challenging Lorette directly and expecting to have an easy time of it is promptly given a trip to the Hospital for their efforts. Don't let the suit and tie fool you, Lorette is more than ready to bloody her hands and all of you, should you step out of line. S-Rated Daemons are affected normally by Lorette's blade strikes. A-Rated Daemons are severely injured and several direct strikes can kill them. C-Rated will suffer wounds that can prove fatal should they remain and fight.
Intimidating Roar: Tasosael unleashes an earth-shaking roar loud enough to burst eardrums and disorient S-Rated Daemons. A-Rated Daemons will be rendered unable to attack due to fear. C-Rated Daemons will attempt to flee from Battle.
Claw Swipe: Tasosael will rake his opponent with Razor sharp claws, dealing increased damage with each successive strike. S-Rated Daemons will suffer bleeding damage that will eventually stop over time. A-Rated Daemons will suffer bleeding damage that will not stop but not get any worse. C-Rated Daemons will take increased bleeding damage the longer they try to fight.
Buffeting winds: Tasosael flaps his wings, kicking up a massive wind. S-Rated Daemons are stopped mid advance and cannot move from their place. A-Rated Daemons are stopped mid advance and pushed back. C-Rated Daemons are stopped mid advance and sent toppling over.
Cutting Gale: Tasosael's wings flap hard enough to create blades of wind, all of them striking enemies in a frontal cone. S-Rated Daemons are buffeted and suffer Bleeding Damage that fades over time. A-Rated Daemons are pushed back and suffer Bleeding Damage that doesn't fade but does not worsen. C-Rated Daemons are knocked over and suffer increasing Bleeding Damage. Because this attack is a frontal cone, the area of effect is wider the farther the way an opponent is from Tasosael, but it doesn't hit as hard as it would if they were standing close.

Tactical Sword: A specially forged blade that is popular with many Daemon Battlers. It is both remarkably light and wickedly sharp, capable of dealing significant wounds to even notably sturdy Daemons.
Lorette Lècuyer is known to be both fiercely ambitious and intelligent, and at first glance seems to be rigid in her bearing and possesses a rather cool demeanor. Her voice is noticeably deep and her mere presence commands the respect of those under her. The Media has never been sure what to make of Lorette both framing her as a Paragon of Humanity and a greed driven Corporate Executive in equal measure. Lorette shrugs this off with practiced measure, caring of her public opinion only enough to remain on the general public's good side. Past outward glances Lorette has proven to be both patient and kind, speaking openly with any that would ask for her time. She believes fully in the potential of others and takes great pains to nurture that potential to the fullest in all that serve under her. Many have found her presence to be both calming and reassuring, though there is a noticeable intensity in both her gaze and mannerisms. Despite her constant efforts to see her own ambitions brought to fruition, Lorette operates by a strict code of honor and conduct and has a strong dislike of underhanded tactics, something virtually unheard of in the Corporate Sector. However due to both necessity for such behavior and Tasosael's own urging, Lorette often finds herself engaging in the same dirty tactics she despises due to their deep entrenchement in her type of business. This has become a moral dilemmia for her and she often broods over it as a result.
Lorette, however has no qualms in combating anyone that stands in the way of her ambitions, whatever they may be. Be it in the Boardroom, or if she's allowed to have her way, the Arena, anyone that disagrees with her is considered both an opponent and an obstacle to be removed in short order. Lorette cannot abide by failure, either personal or from her Employees and will cast aside anyone unable to prove their worth to her without a second thought. Apex Implementations has always, and will always be her driving force and only concern. Lorette works tirelessly to push the Company towards a brighter future and is more than willing to leave behind anyone she has deemed unfit to see it.

It is currently unknown how old Tasosael is, but he is rumored to have existed since the dawn of Human Civilization. Tasosael is not one for conversation and tends to be aloof, speaking only at length to Lorette and only to others when absolutely needed though he has proven to be vey intelligent and well spoken. He has a particular interest in Human Politics and often wonders both aloud and privately how such a system might be applied to the masses of Daemons on Earth. These opinions are especially strange when his partnership with Lorette is taken into consideration and neither of them make any effort to explain what they get out of it beyond the usual benefits of a Human/Daemon partnership.
Like Lorette, Tasosael operates on a Code of Conduct, those his is not nearly as rigid as Lorette's. Nor does he lose sleep over the possibility of cheating someone. A Pragmatist at the core, the Daemon can and will employ questionable methods to achieve his goals, though his partnership with Lorette can make that difficult sometimes. A lover of combat and an accomplished warrior, Tasosael wishes that Lorette would take part in more a battles and can be quite moody if not allowed to fight. Tasosael can only make the distinction of those who are worthy, and those who are unworthy. Anyone claiming to have worth, should be ready and waiting to prove it at a moment's notice.
When he is not projecting a physical form, Tasosael retreats into the Tactical Sword that Lorette keeps tied at her hip.

How Lorette came to acquire Apex Implementations is crouched in both mystery and conjecture. Before taking the helm as the corporation's CEO, Apex had been a family owned business since the day of its inception. At some point before his death, the aging CEO David Buckley saw to it that all of the Company holdings and assets were turned over to Lorette the current CEO of the smaller Private Security Company, Waylight Security. In the process he passed over his four children, leaving them angry and confused. But none more so than his eldest son, Harlan Buckley. The ensuing legal battle was incredibly ugly, but Lorette never once faltered and was ultimately victorious.
Legally, the acquisition was airtight, and despite their digging, the Buckley family could not find a single loose end. On paper, all it seemed was that one CEO had passed his assets off to a qualified candidate within the same business as him.
Behind closed doors, the rumors only flew.
Lorette was both a stranger and an outsider. And never before had she been observed doing business with David Buckley. Her appearance around the time of his death and subsequently absconding with his business was a severe point of contention. Lorette was presumed everything from the dead man's Mistress to his Illegitimate Daughter and whatever could possibly lie between. Her silence on the matter only served to infuriate the Buckley Family even more.
And yet despite all this Apex Implementations only continued to grow and flourish under Lorette's guidance and remains a major force within the Corporate sector. Lorette's own company, Waylight Security is now the main subsidiary and has become the Security force within Apex while the business branches out into other avenues. David Buckley's family had long since grown silent, but some wonder if they might return again. David's eldest son, Harlan swore that he would one day take back from Lorette what she'd stolen from his family and has thus far not forgotten that promise despite having yet to act on it.
Lorette met Tasosael over 8 years ago while on a Business trip to China. It is currently unknown what transpired between the two of them while she was there, but an accord was met and the Daemon has not left her side ever since.

Name: Allister Schoen
Age: 33
Species: Human
Occupation: Personal Assistant to Lorette Lècuyer.
Place of Residence: Tuxedo Junction, considering all the time he spends there.
Partner name: Faendr
Threat Rating:S-Rated
Allister carries himself with a great deal of refinement, though unlike Lorette, Allister tends to be more easygoing and approachable. Polite and affable, Allister enjoys conversation at length and will often invite others to Tea in order to engage in idle chatter. Allister has a deep appreciation for beautiful things, and tends to be fastidious in the manner in which he dresses and conducts himself in public. This along with a particular charm tends to draw people to him like moths to a flame, though he doesn't mind. He would describe himself as 'charismatic' but close friends often refer to him as an attention whore. This coupled with his insistence on maintaining a certain aesthetic causes Allister to bump heads with less than refined employees of Apex, and on more than one occasion Lorette has had to step in and reign in his behavior.
Allister is a fervent believer in Lorette's ambitions, and sees the introduction of Daemons into society as a step towards a bright and glorious future for Humanity as a whole. As such he is more than happy to enforce Lorette's will if it means bringing those that would stand in the way of this future to heel. Such is his willingness to enact his Employer's orders that Allister seems more akin to a Priest spreading Gospel to an unwilling flock, than the CEO's Personal Assitant. His even temper and refined attitude would not cause one to immediately peg Allister as being combat oriented, nor does he carry and weaponry like other Apex employees and yet this does not make him any less dangerous. He and his Daemon are both of the opinion that fighting is not an act of violence, so much as it is an artful display meant to be observed by all. A display that Allister is more than happy give whether the recipient is willing or not.

This Daemon takes on the form of a ghostly Stag, and indeed their passing is marked by an etheral fog settling over the area. Like Allister, Faendr is overly concerned with keeping appearances and dignity. As such, Faendr strictly judges other Daemons based upon the physical forms that they choose to take and has no love for those deemed too hideous or unrefined for their company. Faendr can be somewhat stern, and is rather standoffish towards anyone that isn't Allister. Unlike their Human partner, Faendr will not be seen speaking at great length with anyone over tea, though they do enjoy the attention of others especially any kind of praise. The Daemon enjoys being in the spotlight and showing off and so they will not be found turning down the opportunity to fght. Faendr sees the Arena as nothing more than a stage and will dance around their foes in combat, always to the thunderous roar of the crowd.
When they are not manifesting a physical form, Faendr resides in a Stag shaped pin on Allister's lapel.

A child from the Upper-Middle Class, Allister's life had always been one of comfort and as a child he did not want for anything. This however, did not stop him of dreaming of a life beyond his station. The twinkling lights of Arnvista called to him, even as a boy and Allister would dream of one day being among them.
Name: Audrey Kinniard
Age: 28
Species: Human
Occupation: Junior Security Officer, Apex Implementations.
Place of Residence: The Gym bro.
Partner name: Sanzir
Threat Rating:S-Rated
Hot-Blooded and unyielding, Audrey Kinnaird is a force to be reckoned with on and off the battlefield. The woman's crass manner is abrasive to many, but those that truly know her speak highly of her loyalty and unwavering conviction. Audrey is significantly more casual in manner and behavior than her coworkers, often not bothering with honorifics or titles. Because of this, she is by far the most approachable of her team. She is loud to talk and quick to boast, and even quicker to come to blows with those that have wronged her. Audrey has always preferred to punch first and ask questions later, much to the chagrin of her superiors. But her heart has always been in the right place, and the woman's actions are always motivated by the desire to do right by those around her.
True to form, Audrey is a fighter at heart and is always looking for a means to test her strength. Audrey is well versed in several Martial Arts and when she utilizes Sanzir's ever burning flames, she is capable of delivering devastating unarmed strikes with hands and feet wreathed in fire.

Sanzir, much like Audrey is very friendly and they are quite empathetic to others. A chatterbox to the core, the large bird will talk to anyone and everyone, regardless of if they're listening or not. Sanzir is best described as a 'creature driven by emotion' and they feel very strongly about many things. Never one to do anything half way, Sanzir fully believes that if one gives all that they are, others will do so in return. This is very well illustrated in their personal bond with their Human partner. Sanzir understands Audrey in a way no one else can and vice versa. They play best off of each other's feelings in the midst of battle, and such is their connection that Sanzir does not require verbal commands or even gestures to understand what Audrey requires of them.
When they are not manifesting their physical form, Sanzir retreats into a tattoo on Audrey's back that depicts a Phoenix with wings outstretched.

Audrey is fairly recent hire of Apex implementations, joining only a scant year and a half ago. She caught Lorette's eye during a particularly grueling Daemon Title Match and though both Audrey and Sanzir's spirits burned brightly that day, they were ultimately defeated. While Audrey was rather despondent about the loss, Lorette saw in the younger woman great promise and even greater power. Never one to miss out on a profitable opportunity, the CEO was quick to bring Audrey on board and had her placed directly under the watchful eye of her Chief of Security as an intern. Since then Audrey has been promoted to a Junior Officer, and answers to the Chief of Security and in the event of his absence, his Lieutenant.
Name: Nikhil Bhattacharya
Age: 36
Species: Human
Occupation: Head of Research and Development, Daemontech. Apex Implementations.
Place of Residence: Studio Apartment within the Business District.
Partner name: Eson
Threat Rating: S-Rated
Nikhil is a soft-spoken man and is not one to be overly emotional. He does, however, tend to ramble on excitedly when speaking about his points of interest, and will easily talk the ear off of anyone that will listen. Nikhil's research into Daemons and all corresponding technology keeps him very busy and he has little time for socializing. Though he is well mannered and polite, Nikhil can be overwhelmingly blunt to the point of rudeness and on more than once occasion has a joke flown completely over his head. Despite this, or because of it, other members of Lorette's core team can often be seen coming and going from Nikhil's Lab to bother him. These spontaneous visits would irritate him greatly at first, but over the years he has grown accustomed to them and now enjoys them a great deal though he'd never openly admit it.
Nikhil is not a combatant by his own choice, though when he was first hired Lorette did stress the importance of learning the ins and outs of Daemon battling to better understand them. Since then Nikhil has become better versed in fighting alongside a Daemon, though he and his partner prefer operate in a defensive manner rather than go on the offensive.
The Visor that Nikhil wears was specifically created to better track the separate movements of Eson's 20 arms as doing so without it leaves him disoriented and sometimes makes him ill. The Visor is indispensable both in and out of battle, as it feeds the Engineer a constant stream of data from his surroundings and aids in his research and as such he is rarely seen out of it.

An oddity even by the standards of Daemons, Eson is known to be both infuriatingly vague and prone to overwhelming others with mountains of information at the same time. Like Nikhil, Eson is remarkably brilliant and seeks knowledge unheard of before. Eson is like most Daemons in that all they know about Humanity comes from strict observation over a long period of time. When Humanity and Daemons first came together in an effort to gain a better understanding of each other, Eson was very excited, eager to finally gain a hands-on understanding of Humans. It is for this reason that they work so well with Nikhil and eagerly answers all the man's questions so long as he answers theirs in turn. Together the two of them have made massive strides towards better bridging the gap between their two species and are constantly working towards building a bright future for both Humans and Daemonkind
As far as appearances go, Eson rests at the upper limits of the Humanity's ability to comprehend the incomprehensible. Eson possesses 20 humanoid arms, each one moving and acting of its own accord and claims that manifesting any more would render any Human that looked upon them completely mad.
Like Nikhil, Eson does not engage in combat often and devotes their time to study and research alongside their Human partner, only fighting to garner information used to further the pair's study on the capabilities on Daemons in general. In battle, Eson uses their many limbs to grapple opponents and deflect strikes rather than outwardly attacking. Their vast number of limbs are also disorienting to Human opponents, and their constant movements can be disorienting as Humans cannot focus on each one separately.
When they are not manifesting a physical form, Eson retreats into the Visor that Nikhil is often seen wearing. If not that, Eson will retreat into a simple Tungsten ring that Nikhil wears on his right hand.

Alright! The Board is up and running for the most part. Still making some tweaks here and there but you're more than welcome to start drafting up Characters!
roleplayerguild.com/topics/158490-daem..
The OOC gives an overview of the world at large, as well as rules and a character template. I really hope that people decide to take part!

The OOC gives an overview of the world at large, as well as rules and a character template. I really hope that people decide to take part!
The Character Template is pretty straightforward. But I'll outline some points of interest.
Species indicates whether or not the character you're playing is a Human or Daemon.
Make sure to post your character's profile in the Character Board. Otherwise it'll got lost in the OOC Board.
Age is pretty simple, but Daemons are effectively immortal and have existed before the dawn of man. A lot of them are pretty old, but you're more than welcome to make a younger Daemon if you'd like.
Partner name is where you'd put the name of your Daemon partner if you're a Human and vice versa. You aren't required to have a partner if you don't want, so you can just put N/A there. Or 'None'
Threat Rating is the Rating of your Daemon/Daemon Partner
Occupation is a job if you have one. Or if you're a Student you can put that there too. You can also leave this blank if you really need to.
Under appearance, you need to write a detailed description of the way you AND the partner that you have looks. Images aren't required, but they're highly encouraged.
Powers and Skills requires a detailed explanation of the kind of powers your Daemons uses. What they do, how strong they are etc. You would also put any kind of skills or powers that your Human would use, but only if they fight alongside their Daemon.
Weapons requires a detailed description of what kind of weapons that your Human would use, if they use any at all in Daemon Battles. If they're not the type to fight directly alongside their Daemon, then state that.
Place of residence is only required if you're playing a Kaiju. Otherwise, you can leave that balnk if you'd like.

ARE FOR FOOLS
I strive to at least PRETEND to be a responsible adult. So with that said, here's a bunch of rules.
And don't hesitate to contact me via PM if you have any questions or concerns. And I'd especially love to hear feedback in regards to the Story and the paotential direction that it can be taken.
Treat others the way you want to be treated
We all FEEL like this is something that shouldn't have to be stated. But living on this Earth has provided more than enough evidence that it does. Don't be a jerkass. Be Polite to others. Don't stalk/harass/creep on other people. We're all Nerds pretending to punch monsters in the face online. Whatever Negativity you're carrying out in the real world needs to be left there.
Keep IC and OOC sperate
This is an easy one. If someone's character is a jerk, murderer/rapist or all around unpleasant person it doesn't mean the person playing them is.
It just means they're an Edgelord
In all seriousness. This RP isn't quite a gritty Dystopian Drama, but people are people. And sometimes they're not nice. It doesn't mean that the person behind the keyboard secretly fantasizes about drowning puppies, they just felt like playing a character that isn't a ray of sunshine. Personally attacking them for that decision as if they're just as bad as a fictional character is childish, and more than a little rude.
With that in mind.....
Your actions have consequences
Want to RP a murderer? Go for it?
Want to RP a sexist pig? Sure why not?
Want to RP a racist asshole? I can't stop you.
But keep in mind that these actions and opinions have consequences within the RP. Dropping a racial slur to a stranger will get your teeth punched out of your head IRL, chances are people in a fictional version of Earth aren't going to take too kindly to it either. If you insult or attack someone's character, they have a right to RP that character's reaction in the manner they see fit. If your character grabs another character's ass then you run the risk of them trying to break your character's hand. It's common sense. I don't want to hear any crying because your Character was acting like a dick and another Character swung at them. We're RP'ing real people, so expect real people reactions.
No Godmodding
This one is going to be tricky to implement, but the short of it is that we're dealing with Supernatural creatures here. The main draw is that they fight each other, and their Humans fight each other. If you and another person want to duke it out, go right ahead. But use combat etiquitte. Don't dodge every attack thrown at you and then turn around and Spirit Bomb the other person. It's rude.
I'm currently working on a Combat system that lines up with the Ranking system in the game. But once again, I'll ask you to use common sense. A C-Rated Daemon probably won't be beating up an A-Rated Daemon, at least not without a monumental effort. And they sure as hell wouldn't be squaring up to a Kaiju. If all else fails, roll some dice to settle IC disputes.
With that in mind, if you're playing a High Ranked Daemon, don't go around picking fights with lower ranked Daemons for shits and giggles. If you want to show your Daemon beating up some NPC's to establish how much of a dick they are, go right ahead. But leave other players out of that nonsense.
If the GM says an NPC will kill you. They will kill you.
Pretty easy one here. But simply put there are some NPC's that you can't attack, or in the event that you should they'll wipe the floor with you. Generally any kind of Law Enforcement is equipped to handle a rowdy Daemon and their Human partner. And these actions come with consequences in the form of fines or if you're especially naughty, Jail time.
Apex Implementations is set up to be an Antagonist. But knowing that, it doesn't mean you can barge into the offices and challenge The CEO to a fistfight. You wouldn't make it past the front door without Security breaking their foot off in your ass. Or if I'm feeling mischievous I MIGHT let you get to the top floor and have Lorette bitch slap you back down to the Lobby. I don't expect anyone to run around punching shopkeepers in the face, but if Grand Theft Auto has taught me anything it's that when given the opportunity people WILL cause mayhem.
With that said if a Storyline NPC is essential or the type that will kick your ass I'll let you know well beforehand. And you guys are MORE than welcome to make your own NPCs and do what you want with them. This is a living, breathing world and it needs to be filled with people.
Q: Can a player RP the partner of another player? I.E. One player is the daemon while the other is the human?
A: Yes! If that's how you'd like to play the Human/Daemon dynamic, than you are absolutely allowed to do that.
Q: Could Daemons possibly have more than one form? You say its an expression of their self and can vary wildly, but what about one that likes to look more human unless they are fighting? Or would they have their appearance more or less set upon creating one?
A: Yes a Daemon is allowed to change form. But I must inform you that it's not instantaneous and requires a bit of concentration. (You don't want a leg ending up where it shouldn't be.) So a Daemon would have a form for Combat and then another for everyday stuff. But changing form in a sanctioned battle requires a timeout. If a Daemon catches themselves in a non-sanctioned battle they kind of just have to hope for the best. But it's not like changing form strips a Daemon of power. It just manifest in different ways.
A Daemon should also take care where and when they change form. Growing bigger in a small crowded room is a great way to trample someone AND get stuck. Humans have mostly become acclimated to seeing weird stuff every day from Daemons, but the do tend to appreciate it when a Daemon looks more Human since they're much easier to talk to.
Q: Am I required to play as a Daemon/Human Team in order to RP?
A: No you are not. You can play as a Daemon all alone if you'd like, as well as playing as a Human by themselves. Roleplaying as 2 different characters can be a bit much, and so you are more than welcome to play as just one.
A: Yes! If that's how you'd like to play the Human/Daemon dynamic, than you are absolutely allowed to do that.

Currently, there is only 1 Kaiju Class Daemon that is being RP'd. 2 Already have names and basic templates due to the mention of them being the only gigantic Daemons and just need players. It should be noted that these 2 cannot move from their respective areas and are more or less locked there. The other 4 are up for grabs and can be anything you'd like them to be. There are however several rules that apply to playing as a Kaiju.
- You cannot play as a Human with a Kaiju partner.
- The largest a Kaiju can be is 50 feet in length and 30 feet in height.
- Kaiju Daemons are on a first come, first serve basis and are 1 per person. After that, you if you want to play as any kind of Daemon it MUST be ranked from D to S.
- In addition to providing a profile for your Kaiju. You must include the area that they choose to reside in as they're all under tabs by the World's various Governments. They don't have to be particularly nice, but it needs to be plainly stated where they live.
- Kaiju aren't allowed to cause destruction at random. If such a thing is to happen it'll be part of the larger storyline.
- Fights between two Kaiju have to go through me first and must be agreed upon by all parties involved. For example, Kaiju A and Kaiju B have a disagreement and start squaring up. Permission must be granted for such a fight to happen, and it has to happen on a stage of my choosing. We're not trying to start Ragnorak right out the gate here.
Outside of that, go crazy! What does your Kaiju look like? What are their opinions on Human/Daemon Relations? Do they plan on siding with a particular Government, or do they want to take over the world? Who the hell knows, it's up to you!
THE KAIJU
The largest Kaiju Daemon on record, Nagendra is exceptionally old. He makes his home on and around the mountain Agastya Mala in India. Despite being many thousands of years old, Nagendra surfaced only around the time Daemons first began to make contact with Humanity, rousing from a deep slumber. His serpentine form is wound around the mountain itself, and it is difficult to tell where the Daemon ends and the Mountain begins. As such until he regained consciousness, Nagendra was simply assumed to BE the mountain.
Despite his immense size and terrifying appearance, Nagendra is a rather noble and amicable Daemon. The peak of Agastya Mala once a popular pilgrimage site for devotees of the Hindu Sage Agastya, has become even more so since Nagendra's awakening over 80 years ago. Nagendra enjoys receiving visitors as he is unable to move from the Mountain for fear of destroying the surrounding area. When not entertaining guests or presiding over Religious services, Nagendra sits atop the peak in quiet contemplation and meditation. The local population views Nagendra as nothing short of a God incarnate, thus he was given his name by them meaning 'Lord of Snakes' in Sanskrit.
This Kaiju Class Daemon appeared over the deadly salt lake, Natron in Tanzania and has not moved from that location since. Second, only to Nagrenda in size Echeron does not speak and instead makes musical wind chime noises by way of communication if it can even be called that. Because of the deadly salinity of the Lake, many cannot make the trek across its surface to study Echeron up close and instead they must be studied either from the shore or from a flying vehicle. Echeron's massive form changes shape on a constant basis though it is always geometric in shape and possesses a glassy sheen on its surface. It is rumored that Echeron's incomprehensible form is the closest Humanity can come to perceiving Daemons as they would truly appear in the Void. No one is sure of Echeron's motives or ambitions if they have any at all. They make no effort to move from their location above the lake, though the local population seems pleased by that development.
Rasteva stands little over 16 feet tall and is covered from head to foot in an armor. The armor in question is of a make and material not seen anywhere else and is quite ornate in design.
Rasteva's head is what makes up the armor's helm, and is adorned with two large and impressive horns. A single glowing eye can be seen in the helm's visor, and often moves from side to side of its own accord. This eye is much like the armor composing Rasteva’s form as Rasteva does not need it to see. It’s instead used to make interacting with other beings easier so that they know if and when they are being addressed. Because Rasteva lacks a face in the traditional sense, they cannot be observed making any facial expressions, and anyone interacting with them will have to suffice with vocal cues in order to understand their moods. Clawed Gauntlets are what Rasteva uses for hands, and are surprisingly dexterous. This allows the Daemon to perform delicate tasks the same as anyone with regular hands.
As a result of lacking any true physical characteristics, Rasteva does not have an actual gender, though most people refer to them as Male.
Played by @Ramjammer
Rasteva's imposing stature, and rather terrifying appearance cause people to be wary of them at best. Such reactions are not new to Rasteva and they have grown indifferent to them throughout their existence, making no effort to correct anyone on the matter unless it absolutely conflicts with their personal interests and existence. Rasteva will not be found helping others without being sure that they will receive what they consider a sufficient reward in return. Doing good for the sake of good is not something they will be found engaging in, and concepts such as valor and honor are of no interest to them. Rasteva only ever adheres to the laws of Humanity, not because it is the right thing to do, but because it will simply save them trouble to do so at all. The only upside to this is that Rasteva is equally uninterested in doing Evil for the sake of Evil, and makes no direct effort to go out of their way to harm others unless they feel particularly threatened, They can and will, however, engage in acts of evil should they find it to be most beneficial to their existence and overall goals, whatever they may be at the time.
Despite being unconcerned and indifferent to morality, Rasteva is rather even tempered and polite, often greeting others with a great deal of respect and surprising kindness. Rasteva does enjoy conversation quite a bit, and they are especially fond of gossip and stories even if they prove to be true or not. A self-proclaimed collector of knowledge, Rasteva has spent countless millennia of existence traveling and absorbing as much as they possibly can.
Rasteva is quite confident and self-assured as most of their kind tend to be, and rarely if ever doubts in themselves or their abilities. An exceptionally long existence has granted Rasteva with learning and experience unfathomable by shorter lived beings. This of course also comes a high degree of arrogance, though they feel it to be completely deserved as many Daemons are prone to. This has also led to Rasteva being exceptionally set in their own ways, and changing their opinion on nearly anything is a hard fought battle, and more often than not is a lost cause.
While not prone to starting fights or causing trouble for others, Rasteva can show a terrifying lack of empathy to anyone not deemed an immediate ally. The Daemon can be as ruthless in regular interaction as they are in combat, caring nothing for the motives or ideals of their opponents. Rasteva has no qualms about killing in the slightest, and won't even make excuses for doing so beyond that it was convenient for them to do so at the time. Rasteva will only ever act in a manner that is beneficial to them and their continued existence. To Rasteva the only thing that matters and will always matter is Rasteva. They make no pains to compare the lives of others to their own, as the Daemon's life is the only one worth considering and holds value immeasurable. Good and Evil are the same thing to the Daemon, and as such makes no effort to differentiate between the two. The only things that Rasteva makes any effort to distinguish from each other is things that can be made use of, and things that have no use at all.
Anything found to be wholly useless is cast aside without a second thought.

Raumspalter: A Glaive pole weapon rivaling Rasteva in size, this mighty blade is the Daemon's favored weapon and they are rarely seen without it. The blade of the weapon is almost 2 and a half feet long and has a single edge with the end of it socketed onto a shaft 11 feet in length. Much like the Daemon's armor Raumspalter is ornately decorated and looks almost ceremonial in appearance. Aside from its massive size, Raumspalter isn't that much different from a weapon of regular size, though its swings are more than capable of cleaving a man in two should they wind up on the wrong end of it. Rasteva claims that the blade is capable of cleaving through the fabric of reality itself, but such a thing has yet to be observed.
Smokescreen: The gaps in Rasteva's armored form will begin venting an odd black smoke in massive clouds. This cloud obscures Rasteva from view, allowing them to make their retreat. It can also be used at close range to disorient foes and allow the Daemon to launch a counterattack
Sturdiness/Heaviness: Rasteva's armor grants them incredible resilience in combat, and as such conventional physical attacks do little to harm them. Because they do not posses any organs or bleed in a conventional manner, Rasteva can shrug off a major injury with little consequence. Loss of limb has been observed in battle and does little to slow the Daemon down. It is currently unclear whether or not the Daemon's physical strength is a result of the armor they wear or a natural gift bestowed upon their kind, but it is difficult to deny and even more difficult to stand up to. Rasteva's armor and size make them exceptionally slow and cumbersome. Faster opponents can typically run circles around the Daemon with relative ease, causing them to trip up and potentially leave them open to assault.

Rasteva came into the world at the same time as Echeron, over 50 years ago. But like the rest of the Kaiju they had existed long before then. Rasteva seems to have an odd connection with the Kaiju Echeron and on more than one occasion they have been observed visiting the geometric creature, though they do not seem to exchange words. Aside from these rare visits, Rasteva has not been observed interacting with any other Kaiju, further debunking the theory that they serve as a sort of Council over Daemonkind. Rasteva is equally uninterested in Human Politics and finds them to be pointless and distracting and does not show signs of changing their opinion on the matter.
When asked what reason they have for being on Earth, they only reply that it is to learn. This is most evident in their decision to reside at Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford.While more than interesting in its own right, the Library remains a popular destination for those wanting to get up close to a Kaiju Class Daemon. Rasteva has made themselves right at home among the library's many shelves and can usually be seen attending various lectures around the Campus. Because they have been a fixture at the University for decades, the Students and Faculty often joke that Rasteva will never Graduate, and Students lagging behind in their studies are warned that they might end up like the Daemon if they do not pass.
In recent Months Rasteva has been more active, and has been seen visiting Echeron again. When asked the reason why, they will not say and many wonder if the Kaiju is planning something.

Name:
AEGAEON. Played by @Rune_Alchemist
Species:
Daemon
Occupation:
N/A
Place of Residence:
Deep in the oceans of the Atlantic, is where AEGAEON makes its home. It often is seen frequenting the area around the Bermuda Triangle or the Celtic Sea. It is suggested it travels between the two areas whilst searching for food. It is easy enough to keep track of - it typically stays in each area for around two months, give or take a few days, before making its way to the other.
It, very rarely if ever, goes to land but it has on occasion has been seen clinging to cliff faces or poking its head above the waters near a shoreline and observing silently. Perhaps it has some curiosity of humans, despite its territorial tendencies.
Appearance:
The massive aquatic Kaiju resembles the crustacean normally referred to as a lobster and a crab, albeit much more monstrous. It's about twenty feet tall, with a body nearing an estimated 40ft in length and weighs nearly 10,000lbs on land, about a ton more than your average killer whale. Needless to say, it is a large creature with incredible power. It has twelve legs, with the front two on each side having sharp claws able to grapple and crush anything within their reach, though its forward two are by far the strongest. The other eight, are used for mobility upon both the ocean floor, and if it happens to find its way onto land, for traversing such terrain.
It has a wide body at the front, with a narrow head like area with no visible eyes which eventually narrows out into a tail tipped with bony spines. Its exoskeleton structure is a dull, somewhat pale flesh color and is typically slick with some sort of mucous like secretion to help keep its body from drying out when out of land. Its claws and legs sport splotches of a sickly purple color, and are covered in small barnacles and some even have algae clinging to the sides of them. Its mouth, opens to reveal a horrifying maw full of countless teeth with three whip like tongues that have enough manual dexterity to even be used to grab things and bring them to its mouth.
At night, or when sufficiently dark glowing bio luminescence can be seen coming from its back, as well as its tongue.
Threat Rating:
KAIJU
Power/skills:
Exoskeleton: Its entire body is covered by a durable, exoskeletal structure. This, provides it some fairly decent resistance to most forms of any non-piercing or blunt damage. It can withstand quite a number of regular arms fire and most A-rank demons will find any physical attack of their lacking in effectiveness.
Strength:
Its estimated strength is said to be enough to crush steel beams with its claws with ease, and even lift military army tanks effortlessly. It has fairly limited range and mobility due to both its size and the fact its built more for preying on those in the ocean, but it would be foolish to get near it, as it could snap a human like a twig with either of its four claws.
Speed:
While not fairly agile, if it is allowed room to gain speed it becomes a veritable unstoppable force for most structures. It is estimated it can top out at around twenty miles an hour if given a few seconds of run up time. With its large body and multiple legs, it is able to move easily over or through most buildings that aren't larger than it is. In water, it has been observed propelling itself around roughly fifty knots, (~57mph)
Weight:
AEGAEON's weight alone is a formidable weapon. Weight nearly as much as your average whale, it is nearly impossible to budge this creature through brute force alone. The earth shakes with its steps upon land, and most buildings simply cannot support its weight and would crumble if it stepped on them. Needless to say, any who are caught underneath it, are not living.

Needless to say, any who are caught underneath it, are not living.
Hydro Cutter: It is able to intake water through small holes in its carapace, and weaponize them. It can blast water out of its mouth or through holes in each of its claws at extremely high pressures and speeds, rivaling that of an industrial water cutter. In the ocean, it typically uses this to propel itself at high speeds to travel. The downside is, that on land this is a rather limited ability.
Personality:
AEGAEON, is well, a bit of a mystery in terms of its personality. It has had very few dealings with humans, but for the most part seems to at least keep to itself. It has the entire sea to itself, after all, so why should it trouble itself with humans? Those that have had the rare chance to communicate with the creature in some fashion, have found it to at least be tolerating of humans. While not overly friendly nor particularly...nice. It is highly territorial, and often times can be rather finicky. It does not like any other sapient being around it. Not without good reason.
As such, when it is sighted in an area people are typically advised to avoid it to make sure anything unnecessary happens, though if you leave it alone it will typically leave you alone. However, it has been shown to be quite hostile to people if it thinks they have slighted them in some manner so one should take care when around it. Some have likened its disposition to that of a grumpy old man, and there's a joke about it telling humans to get off its damn lawn.
History:
It's history is a rather...simple one. It came, it started living in the ocean, and aside from a few fishermen getting on its wrong side and it stealing their catches to feed itself it is mostly an enigma, It first seemed to crop up when the Daemons first started appearing on earth. It was first spotted by a rather unfortunate couple sailing that happened to cross paths with it in the middle of the nigh in the Bermuda Triangle.
Aside from that, it does not have much history to speak of, or at least it does not wish to speak of it. It seems rather old though.

They had existed for as long as the Universe itself. Flitting through shadows and keeping themselves just at the edge of Human comprehension. Daemons. Creatures of great power that had always observed Mortals but very rarely did they make their presence known. They kept to themselves, donning disguises only when they were required to cross the line between our world and theirs. The Reality of Daemons, called The Void ran parallel to that of Humans, but never did they intersect. Never did they interact.
Until recently.
For reasons, unknown Daemons began to breach the boundary between worlds and making pacts with Humans. Some of the Daemons seek companionship and an opportunity to experience a world not their own. Some of the Humans seek a power that can only be afforded by a Daemon.
And some seek to leave both worlds in complete shambles.....
The RP is set in a world alternate to ours and only slightly in the future. Technology isn't very different from how it is here and now, save for a few key components. Most, if not all of the high-tech found in the RP is based around the study, registration, and containment of Daemons. If I had to put an exact number on it I'd put the year as no farther than 30 to 40 years from now. The world had already shown sign of Daemons existing, and they have been attributed to different roles in ancient Human history, however, they had only recently begun to manifest in our world. Before then, ruins depicting images of them and their occasional remains were found. But they were either considered extinct or if a select few fringe theorists were to be believed, a complete hoax. About 100 years ago, Daemons began to breach the lines between our realities en masse, an event that put Government and Militaries around the world on high alert. To this day it is unknown why such a migration occurred in the first place. Some have speculated that the Void was no longer as hospitable as it once was to Daemons. Others attempt to spin a negative light on Daemonkind by saying that they've come to take over. The Daemons themselves simply remain quiet on the matter.
Daemons are incorporeal by nature and lack true physical forms. The best way to describe a Daemon is not as a living being, but instead, as a ‘concept’, flitting just at the edges of comprehension and something unable to be considered clearly. Because the reality that Daemons hail from is completely alien compared to our own, they have found that they must project a physical form to interact with our world. This has led to myths considering them to be the wandering spirits of the dead despite evidence stating otherwise, and several of the most powerful Daemons in existence are venerated as Gods.
Daemons that choose to manifest to better observe and interact with mortals are forced to take on a physical form as their existence simply cannot BE without one. The Physical form tends to coincide with their personal tastes and can vary wildly. Some Daemons take the form of Animals or regular Humans, though due to recent integration into Human society many Daemons try to take on the most outlandish and monstrous forms they can, all to get a reaction from unsuspecting Humans. A Daemon that cannot project a body, either through personal choice or finding themselves in a considerably weakened state, will instead inhabit a physical object of their choosing. These 'Vessels' tend to reflect the particular Daemon's personal tastes as much as a self-projected body. A popular practice has begun to take hold recently among the younger generation where the image of their Daemon will be tattooed on their body and the Daemon itself will inhabit it.
Daemon forms do not always work like Human bodies, but every Daemon can be dismantled and killed. They do not bleed necessarily, but more often than not their chosen body will in order to reflect injury. Daemon's lack internal organs and bones, and normally if injured will vent out oddly colored smoke if sufficiently harmed. Though Daemons that take part in Battles will choose to bleed if they are injured, sometimes excessively so. If a Daemon feels that they are in enough danger, they will attempt to disperse their form and escape to the void. This is considered very cowardly and most Daemons prefer to fight and risk death rather than run.
Daemons do not require food, drink or sleep. But will partake in all three simply because they find these things enjoyable to so.
Daemons do not adhere to a particular hierarchy within their society if they even have a society at all. Daemons that come across each other will recognize another of their kind on sight and they will usually stop to exchange pleasantries and stories of their travels before moving on their way. Daemons do not gather together for any reason outside of chance meetings and do not actively seek each other out unless they specifically know another of their kind to be nearby and willing to interact with them. The closest thing to a hierarchy Daemons have is based on strength and martial skill, and even that is ever changing. As one of the creatures once put it "Think of the most powerful Daemon you know. You have a clear image in your mind, don't you? There's someone out there stronger than them."
Daemons claim to be from what they call 'The Void'. At first, this led many to believe them to be an Alien species, but further inquiry proved that false. They exist in an area just outside of the reality inhabited by Humans that runs parallel to it. According to them, they have always existed even before Humanity and still longer before that. They make no effort to describe 'The Void', only stating that it is there that a Daemon's true form can be manifested, and that it is completely inhospitable to any other creatures.
Their recent arrival into Human Society was not one that was widely decided on or even known about. One day some Daemons began to reveal themselves to Humans, and then more and more followed suit. The rest is more or less history. Despite most often looking and behaving like Monsters, Daemons are relatively benign. Their manifestation into our world stems from a desire to experience it and all that it has to offer. Daemons tend to find Humans to be entertaining oddities, and seem to enjoy watching them go about day to day life. Many Humans, however, are not overtly fond of Daemons and wish to see them removed from the world altogether, considering them a potential threat to Humanities very existence. Presently the only thing that continues to allow Daemons a place in Human Society is the variety of powers that they can offer. Something that many Governments and Militaries take an interest in. A few of the most powerful Daemons in existence saw this as an opportunity and immediately began to offer their power to various world Governments in exchange for luxuries that would not be afforded to them otherwise.
Less powerful Daemons will often partner with Humans as it is mutually beneficial. The Daemons get a place to live and are allowed to lead what amounts to a regular life and in exchange, the Humans receive the benefits that come with supernatural power such as enhanced strength and increased longevity. Among younger Humans, a popular sport has recently developed where they will often take part in exciting battles alongside Daemons. Winning these battles grants a cash prize and the fame that comes along with becoming well known in the circuits.
A special breed of Daemon all their own. These individuals are the most powerful and oldest of their kind. At present, there are 8 known Kaiju Class Daemons on the planet, though they have stated that there exist more within the Void. It was initially presumed that The Kaiju presided over Daemonkind as leaders, but they have openly stated that they do no such thing and simply exist in the world like any other Daemon.
Despite the name, not all Kaiju Class Daemons are of a remarkable size, and only 2 of them can be called what is traditionally considered a Kaiju in that regard. Kaiju is instead a moniker given in reference to the power these particular Daemons. Like the rest of their kind, they are somewhat benign and have no interest in causing trouble for Humanity. However, their power is more than enough reason to keep them under close tabs. Capable of leveling cities, and changing the face of the Earth itself, Kaiju Classed Daemon are closely watched by the World's Governments, each ready to strike should any of them show signs of aggression.
Unsurprisingly, the Kaiju are often approached by those same Governments in attempts to curry their favor in exchange for their service. Perhaps due to their old age and immense wisdom, these 8 individuals have politely declined each time, though they have recently begun to come under pressure from both Humans and some more powerful Daemons for their refusal to do so.
The most recent Kaiju Class Daemon to make their way into the world appeared 20 years ago.
Located on the Eastern Seabord, the City of Arnvista is a bustling Metropolis that boasts a population of 10 million. Both the site of the I.D.C.C's American Headquarters and the Headquarters of Apex Implementations, the sprawling city is home to Daemons and Humans alike. As diverse in its architecture as it is in its people, the city gives across a patchwork feel, sleek and post-modern skyscrapers stand side by side with traditional centuries-old stonework. Despite this, Arnvista is by and large a modern and thriving city, supporting a wide variety of facilities from state of the art hospitals and expansive public libraries to its very own seaport. Daemon training facilities can be found all over Arnvista, the largest among them being Starfall Areana. The city isn’t all high-rising neatness however, and while being a very prosperous city, it still holds many problems and secrets beneath the shadow of the city's many skyscrapers.

Apex Implementations, once called Apex Security Services, was founded 91 years ago by Ford Buckman. At the time, it was a small Private Security business, with a scant 38 employees headquartered in a single office. The company’s main breakthrough was the utilization of Daemons for Security. It is also credited with laying the groundwork for the current system used to register and catalogue Daemons.
Since its inception, Apex Implementations has grown into an international Conglomerate and stands as a major force within the Corporate Sector. No doubt a result of being one of the first business to Capitalize on the various opportunities that stem from partnering with Daemonkind.
Apex Implementations is a large player in both Corporate and Private Sectors. Providing Security, Daemon Containment and Transportation. It has recently started to expand is Daemon Technologies department, an ever growing and evolving market in the World’s Economy.
There have been recent rumors that Apex Implementations seeks to gain a foothold in Genetic research, but they continue to remain unfounded. The CEO, Lorettte Lècuyer has thus far, chosen remained silent on the matter.
Founded some 20 odd years after their arrival into our world, the I.D.C.C was created on the premise that current Daemon Combat practices were both unregulated and very unsafe. While it was met with a great deal of enthusiasm from both Humans and Daemons the sport was rife with problems. Most pressing was that Humanity was woefully unequipped to both handle and contain such displays of Supernatural power. Dozens of deaths were reported each year as a result of the battles, and it’s presumed that many more went unreported besides those. This was still during a time when Daemonkind was adjusting to living alongside Humanity, and as such abuse of all kinds ran rampant through whatever Circuits happened to be up and running. Reports of little to no pay for Daemons and various abuses heaped on them were a common occurrence, and more than a few Daemons would lash out at their Human handlers often severely injuring and even killing them in the process.
With this in mind, Lawmakers eventually came together and began to lay down the groundwork to make what was at that point, a back alley pastime into a legitimate and regulated Sport. Daemon Combat was at first regulated in America and was kept to Baseball and Football fields, often as a Halftime show. Both Daemons and their Human partners were required by Law to register for any fights that they wished to participate in, along with paying an entrance fee. Any property damage or injuries to spectators as a result of Combat resulted in a hefty fine for the guilty party, or worse, jail time. This had the indirect effect of forcing Human handlers to treat their Daemon partners better, lest they become angry and lash out. Law enforcement was also required to be on standby and ready to suppress any Daemon that got out of hand.
Once the Sport had become regulated, it saw a significant surge in popularity and public interest. Teams that did particularly well were offered Sponsorships from a variety of businesses in the hopes of gaining brand recognition as a result of their successes. The Sport of Daemon Combat began to grow at such a rate that Stadiums devoted to it began to crop up all over the Country. The rest of the world took notice of this and began to follow suit, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the I.D.C.C. as we know it today.
Official Circuits did not appear until some time later, created in an effort to refine the process. D-Rated up to A-Rated Daemons were kept in one Circuit and to this day boasts the highest number of participants. S-Rated Daemons were given a separate Circuit, with combatants fighting to achieve the World Title and the recognition and fame that comes with attaining it.
Despite the I.D.C.C’s efforts to maintain strict regulations on Daemon Combat events, Illegal matches are still a problem the world over. These Underground Rings cropped up as a way to circumvent the Registration, Fees and Fines that come with Legally sanctioned matches and are highly dangerous. Like the first matches from the early days, these fights are rife with abuse, injury and death. Each Country's Government has its own laws in place to combat these Underground Rings. But Combatants are almost always given Jail time.
Sadly, Daemons considered too dangerous and too far gone as a result of these practices to consider allowing back into everyday society are often forcibly contained and dispersed. Many Daemon Rights Groups find this to be a barbaric and unfair punishment to force upon Daemonkind, and to this day it is a hot button issue. One of many in regards to the presumed sentience of Daemons, along with their actual place in the world.
Until recently.
For reasons, unknown Daemons began to breach the boundary between worlds and making pacts with Humans. Some of the Daemons seek companionship and an opportunity to experience a world not their own. Some of the Humans seek a power that can only be afforded by a Daemon.
And some seek to leave both worlds in complete shambles.....
Daemon Days is a weird little blend between Modern Day, Science Fiction and Fantasy. If you wanted a better explanation, I guess you could call it a Cyberpunk RP with Fantasy elements. Players will be able to RP as either a Daemon or a Human. However, Daemon/Human pairs are perfectly acceptable and likely to be the most popular. But you are more than welcome to play one character if you'd like.
There is no limit as to what your Character can be. The Game offers people a variety of choices to determine what kind of character they'll be. And if you're ever not sure, you're more than welcome to run it by me first.
Despite being tagged as an Advanced RP, Casual players are more than welcome. I only ask for 2-3 Paragraphs at minimum for your posts. The Advanced part kind of stems for the crazy amounts of world building and involvement required for the game.

The RP is set in a world alternate to ours and only slightly in the future. Technology isn't very different from how it is here and now, save for a few key components. Most, if not all of the high-tech found in the RP is based around the study, registration, and containment of Daemons. If I had to put an exact number on it I'd put the year as no farther than 30 to 40 years from now. The world had already shown sign of Daemons existing, and they have been attributed to different roles in ancient Human history, however, they had only recently begun to manifest in our world. Before then, ruins depicting images of them and their occasional remains were found. But they were either considered extinct or if a select few fringe theorists were to be believed, a complete hoax. About 100 years ago, Daemons began to breach the lines between our realities en masse, an event that put Government and Militaries around the world on high alert. To this day it is unknown why such a migration occurred in the first place. Some have speculated that the Void was no longer as hospitable as it once was to Daemons. Others attempt to spin a negative light on Daemonkind by saying that they've come to take over. The Daemons themselves simply remain quiet on the matter.
Daemons are incorporeal by nature and lack true physical forms. The best way to describe a Daemon is not as a living being, but instead, as a ‘concept’, flitting just at the edges of comprehension and something unable to be considered clearly. Because the reality that Daemons hail from is completely alien compared to our own, they have found that they must project a physical form to interact with our world. This has led to myths considering them to be the wandering spirits of the dead despite evidence stating otherwise, and several of the most powerful Daemons in existence are venerated as Gods.
Daemons that choose to manifest to better observe and interact with mortals are forced to take on a physical form as their existence simply cannot BE without one. The Physical form tends to coincide with their personal tastes and can vary wildly. Some Daemons take the form of Animals or regular Humans, though due to recent integration into Human society many Daemons try to take on the most outlandish and monstrous forms they can, all to get a reaction from unsuspecting Humans. A Daemon that cannot project a body, either through personal choice or finding themselves in a considerably weakened state, will instead inhabit a physical object of their choosing. These 'Vessels' tend to reflect the particular Daemon's personal tastes as much as a self-projected body. A popular practice has begun to take hold recently among the younger generation where the image of their Daemon will be tattooed on their body and the Daemon itself will inhabit it.
Daemon forms do not always work like Human bodies, but every Daemon can be dismantled and killed. They do not bleed necessarily, but more often than not their chosen body will in order to reflect injury. Daemon's lack internal organs and bones, and normally if injured will vent out oddly colored smoke if sufficiently harmed. Though Daemons that take part in Battles will choose to bleed if they are injured, sometimes excessively so. If a Daemon feels that they are in enough danger, they will attempt to disperse their form and escape to the void. This is considered very cowardly and most Daemons prefer to fight and risk death rather than run.
Daemons do not require food, drink or sleep. But will partake in all three simply because they find these things enjoyable to so.
Daemons do not adhere to a particular hierarchy within their society if they even have a society at all. Daemons that come across each other will recognize another of their kind on sight and they will usually stop to exchange pleasantries and stories of their travels before moving on their way. Daemons do not gather together for any reason outside of chance meetings and do not actively seek each other out unless they specifically know another of their kind to be nearby and willing to interact with them. The closest thing to a hierarchy Daemons have is based on strength and martial skill, and even that is ever changing. As one of the creatures once put it "Think of the most powerful Daemon you know. You have a clear image in your mind, don't you? There's someone out there stronger than them."
Daemons claim to be from what they call 'The Void'. At first, this led many to believe them to be an Alien species, but further inquiry proved that false. They exist in an area just outside of the reality inhabited by Humans that runs parallel to it. According to them, they have always existed even before Humanity and still longer before that. They make no effort to describe 'The Void', only stating that it is there that a Daemon's true form can be manifested, and that it is completely inhospitable to any other creatures.
Their recent arrival into Human Society was not one that was widely decided on or even known about. One day some Daemons began to reveal themselves to Humans, and then more and more followed suit. The rest is more or less history. Despite most often looking and behaving like Monsters, Daemons are relatively benign. Their manifestation into our world stems from a desire to experience it and all that it has to offer. Daemons tend to find Humans to be entertaining oddities, and seem to enjoy watching them go about day to day life. Many Humans, however, are not overtly fond of Daemons and wish to see them removed from the world altogether, considering them a potential threat to Humanities very existence. Presently the only thing that continues to allow Daemons a place in Human Society is the variety of powers that they can offer. Something that many Governments and Militaries take an interest in. A few of the most powerful Daemons in existence saw this as an opportunity and immediately began to offer their power to various world Governments in exchange for luxuries that would not be afforded to them otherwise.
Less powerful Daemons will often partner with Humans as it is mutually beneficial. The Daemons get a place to live and are allowed to lead what amounts to a regular life and in exchange, the Humans receive the benefits that come with supernatural power such as enhanced strength and increased longevity. Among younger Humans, a popular sport has recently developed where they will often take part in exciting battles alongside Daemons. Winning these battles grants a cash prize and the fame that comes along with becoming well known in the circuits.
Despite being mostly benign Daemons are still supernatural by design and possess untold powers. There are also Daemons that seek to cause trouble and destruction for only reasons that they understand. Because of this, all Daemons are ranked by the level of potential threat that they pose and must register with the central government before being allowed to interact with Humanity. Daemons that are found to be causing trouble or refusing to register are subject to suppression and containment. Those found to have committed especially heinous crimes have their physical forms forcibly dispersed.
Much like a Human can grow stronger through exercise and training, a Daemon can 'Rank up' through training and combat experience.
The weakest of Demonkind, they often inhabit inanimate objects, though will take on the form of various small animals like cats dogs and birds. These Daemons often don't have an interest in combat, and instead, tend to act as companions to Humans. Because of this, these Daemons prefer to study Humans as they go about their business. D-Rated Daemons often serve as companions to the Elderly and young children as they remarkably docile and enjoy conversation at great lengths.
Often referred to as 'The Working Man's Daemon'. C-Rated Daemons make up the vast majority of their kind present in the population. They often take on the form of regular Humans to better fit in, though some will project more fantastic looking forms. These are often the types of Daemon to be paired withHumans just starting out in Combat Arenas. They are often found doing menial labor and unfortunately, due to the fact that they neither eat nor sleep, they are often subject to illegal workplace practices and abuse in many places. Only slightly tougher than most Humans, C Rated Daemons can have a hard time getting by and tend to take the brunt of Humanity's ire towards Daemons living among them.
Daemons of above average strength and skill. These types of Daemons will take on slightly more unusual forms as an indicator of their strength. A-Rated Daemons are normally seen competing alongside their Human partners in Combat Arenas and have a fondness for especially flashy fighting moves and displays. Illegal fighting rings tend to have a high number of A-Rated Daemons participating as well. Many of them hoping to gain the power of an S-Rated Daemon through illicit means. Outside of the Fighting Circuits, A-Rated Daemons will be found working in either the Millitary or Law Enforcement. Daemon Suppression Squads make use of A-Rated Daemons when dealing with an especially troublesome member of their kind.
The upper Echelon of Demonkind, these Daemons tend to be the companions of the very wealthy and powerful, particularly Government officials. And for good reason. The Human in question receives only the best and most powerful protection, and the Daemon is afforded a life of luxury in return. S-Rated Daemons do not participate in the same fighting circuits as C-Rated and A- Rated Daemons, and instead, have their own fighting circuit. As expected of the most powerful of their kind, S-Rated Daemons are very picky about who they partner with and it is not unheard of for them to demand proof of finances and even the Medical Records of Humans attempting to curry their favor. A few notable Daemons, however, have been known to stay on with a particular family for generations, usually out of intense loyalty.

A special breed of Daemon all their own. These individuals are the most powerful and oldest of their kind. At present, there are 8 known Kaiju Class Daemons on the planet, though they have stated that there exist more within the Void. It was initially presumed that The Kaiju presided over Daemonkind as leaders, but they have openly stated that they do no such thing and simply exist in the world like any other Daemon.
Despite the name, not all Kaiju Class Daemons are of a remarkable size, and only 2 of them can be called what is traditionally considered a Kaiju in that regard. Kaiju is instead a moniker given in reference to the power these particular Daemons. Like the rest of their kind, they are somewhat benign and have no interest in causing trouble for Humanity. However, their power is more than enough reason to keep them under close tabs. Capable of leveling cities, and changing the face of the Earth itself, Kaiju Classed Daemon are closely watched by the World's Governments, each ready to strike should any of them show signs of aggression.

Located on the Eastern Seabord, the City of Arnvista is a bustling Metropolis that boasts a population of 10 million.

As diverse in its architecture as it is in its people, the city gives across a patchwork feel, sleek and post-modern skyscrapers stand side by side with traditional centuries-old stonework.

Daemon training facilities can be found all over Arnvista, the largest among them being Starfall Areana. The city isn’t all high-rising neatness however, and while being a very prosperous city, it still holds many problems and secrets beneath the shadow of the city's many skyscrapers.
The housing of the city progresses from its most expensive residences owned by the wealthy elite being located at the center to the middle-class suburban areas being found further out amongst amenities such as the fire department, the post-office, and the police station. Sitting at the edge of the cities lies the slums.
It's here that the poor and the disenfranchised make their homes, in tiny terraced houses often shared between two families or groups of friends, shoved into cramped living spaces. The streets are dangerous for the unprepared, especially with an unchecked population of unregistered Daemons wandering about. Interestingly enough, homicide rates here are pretty average for the city, despite the prevalence of crime. Drug dealers skulk unchecked in alleyways and muggers rob people of money they don't have. The occasional hapless wealthy tourist that wanders into the area usually leaves with empty pockets, or if they're particularly unlucky, a body bag.
Here a large number of underground Daemon Battling Arenas can be found. They offer lucrative opportunities for less savory individuals, and for the truly desperate a way out of the slums altogether.

In the Eastern part of the city lies the business district, within which the headquarters of many of the city’s most prominent corporations can be found. Most obvious among them is the skyscraper housing the headquarters of the International Conglomerate, Apex Implementations. The building stands out like a beacon, brightly lit day or night and can be seen from every part of the city. Among the many office buildings, obscenely expensive studio apartments can be found overlooking well-maintained streets and a sea of suits.
For all intents and purposes, Arnvista's Seaport is the city's gateway. It is the heart of all shipping traffic, with several docks and the major shipyard that it encompasses. All cargo that isn't hauled into the city in trucks arrives on one of the massive container ships that anchor in the Port's waters. To the south is the Shipyard, where the lifeblood of Arnvista's industry flows into the city.
The port is also home to many Hotels, all boasting a magnificent view of the Oceanfront.

The Entertainment District is the figurative center of the city. This pleasant and open area is home to most of the buildings of importance within the city, from administrative structures to various places of entertainment. The Central Plaza boasts the Red Light District, holding many nightclubs and bars and remains a popular place to visit for both residents and tourists alike.
Though originally host to the city's numerous art galleries, the south end of the plaza has grown into a hotspot for all things trendy and hip. High-end boutiques mingle with vintage clothing shops, coffee bars, various ethnic restaurants, and record shops. This area is oriented around a small sculpture park where aspiring craftsmen and musicians can show off their talents. The Plaza is also home to public facilities such as the hospital and other administrative buildings, the largest of them being the I.D.C.C's American Headquarters.
A multitude of parks are contained within the Entertainment district, where citizens can relax and on some days small Daemon Battling competitions are hosted. A short way to the East lies the Starfall Arena, the largest Daemon Battle Arena in the United States.

International Daemon Combatant’s Coalition. I.D.C.C.
Founded some 20 odd years after their arrival into our world, the I.D.C.C was created on the premise that current Daemon Combat practices were both unregulated and very unsafe. While it was met with a great deal of enthusiasm from both Humans and Daemons the sport was rife with problems. Most pressing was that Humanity was woefully unequipped to both handle and contain such displays of Supernatural power. Dozens of deaths were reported each year as a result of the battles, and it’s presumed that many more went unreported besides those. This was still during a time when Daemonkind was adjusting to living alongside Humanity, and as such abuse of all kinds ran rampant through whatever Circuits happened to be up and running. Reports of little to no pay for Daemons and various abuses heaped on them were a common occurrence, and more than a few Daemons would lash out at their Human handlers often severely injuring and even killing them in the process.
With this in mind, Lawmakers eventually came together and began to lay down the groundwork to make what was at that point, a back alley pastime into a legitimate and regulated Sport. Daemon Combat was at first regulated in America and was kept to Baseball and Football fields, often as a Halftime show. Both Daemons and their Human partners were required by Law to register for any fights that they wished to participate in, along with paying an entrance fee. Any property damage or injuries to spectators as a result of Combat resulted in a hefty fine for the guilty party, or worse, jail time. This had the indirect effect of forcing Human handlers to treat their Daemon partners better, lest they become angry and lash out. Law enforcement was also required to be on standby and ready to suppress any Daemon that got out of hand.
Once the Sport had become regulated, it saw a significant surge in popularity and public interest. Teams that did particularly well were offered Sponsorships from a variety of businesses in the hopes of gaining brand recognition as a result of their successes. The Sport of Daemon Combat began to grow at such a rate that Stadiums devoted to it began to crop up all over the Country. The rest of the world took notice of this and began to follow suit, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the I.D.C.C. as we know it today.
Official Circuits did not appear until some time later, created in an effort to refine the process. D-Rated up to A-Rated Daemons were kept in one Circuit and to this day boasts the highest number of participants. S-Rated Daemons were given a separate Circuit, with combatants fighting to achieve the World Title and the recognition and fame that comes with attaining it.
The I.D.C.C enforces a strict code of conduct of which all Combatants must comply. Failure to do so can result in fines, suspension from Battles and Jail time. Particularly heinous offenses can result in complete expulsion from the Coalition, along with all guilty parties being stripped of their Combatant Licenses.
There are several types of battles along with two differing Battle Circuits. For the sake of expediency, the Rules of Battle will simply be listed under one heading as they do not vary between Circuits and Battle types.
- Prospective Applicants are required by Law to register for a Combatant License at their local Government Office. Local Laws and Fees apply, but they are generally supplied between 7 and 14 Business Days.
- Applicants are required to renew their Combatant License as per the standards of their local Government Office.
- Human Applicants must be Legally an adult in order to apply for a Combatant's License. This Varies from County to County, but the norm is 18 years of age.
- Prospective Applicants are required by Law to submit to both a Physical and Mental Evaluation before being allowed to apply for a Combatant License. Failure to supply the proper forms signed by a legitimate Physician will result in the applicant being barred from the Application process.
- Prospective Applicants must attend a 12 hour class detailing the various rules, regulations, and hazards involved with the Daemon Battling process. Applicants must also complete and pass a written exam on the class.
- Prospective Applicants must fill out a form detailing next of Kin and Emergency contacts of in the event injury, or Death.
- Prospective Applicants must sign a waiver releasing the I.D.C.C from liability in the event of injury or Death. Owners of an Event Location do not fall under this and must supply their own Waiver before Combat starts if they wish to be released from Liability.
There are several types of battles along with two differing Battle Circuits. For the sake of expediency, the Rules of Battle will simply be listed under one heading as they do not vary between Circuits and Battle types.
- All Combatants must remain within the boundaries marked on the Arena Floor. Stepping over one of these lines results in a point deduction. Once Three points have been deducted for stepping out of bounds, it qualifies as a loss of a Round.
- A Battle lasts three consecutive Rounds. Each Round lasts for a total of Ten minutes. And have a 5 minute break in between them. At the end of each battle, points are tallied for both teams, and the team with the lowest number of points is declared the loser of that Round.
- At the end of each Battle. The points from each round are tallied for both Teams. The Team with the highest number of points is declared the Winner.
- Combatants can earn points in a variety of ways.
- Landing a clean hit.
- Pushing an opponent out of bounds.
- Toppling an opponent over.
- Points can also be awarded based on the complexity of moves, their appearance, and overall creativity.
- If Combatants are knocked down and unable to rise after a 10 second count, it constitutes a loss of a Round. This includes being knocked down due to injury or being pinned for 10 consecutive seconds.
- Combatants that are knocked down and rendered unconscious are counted for a loss of a Round. Combatants that cannot rouse themselves fully between that round and the next forfeits the Battle.
- Daemon Combatants must choose a physical form before the start of each Battle. If a Daemon Combatant feels the need to change forms, in the middle of a Battle they are allowed a Time out. Each Competing Team is allowed 2 Time Outs for the duration of the Battle. Changing form between Rounds is not allowed.
There are 2 different Battle Types found with the Circuits. Single and Team Battles.
- Single Battles are between 2 competing Daemons only. The competing Daemons do not require a Human partner to compete in this type of Battle. Any Humans that act as Partners to one or both of the competing Daemons are not allowed to directly interfere and must wait at the sidelines issuing commands to their Daemon partner. Stepping inside of bounds during a Round constitutes a point deduction. After 3 point deductions, the Round is considered a loss. This is the most common kind of Battle as it does not require great physical endurance from Human Partners, but the payouts from winning are noticeably less than that from a Team Battle.
- Team Battles involve the Direct participation of a Human alongside their chosen Daemon Partners, and are Physically and Mentally taxing for both Humans and Daemons. But the payout for victory is greater than what would be received in a Single Battle. Humans can fight in a Team battle the following ways.
- A Daemon will infuse their Human partner directly with their own power to enhance the Human's Martial skill as they fight alongside them.
- A Daemon will infuse an I.D.C.C approved weapon with their own power to be used by the Human in battle alongside them.
- A Daemon will possess an I.D.C.C approved weapon directly, greatly increasing its damage output to be used by the Human in battle alone.
The I.D.C.C approves the use of Weaponry by Humans in Team Battles and has a compiled database of what is and isn't allowable. Anyone found competing with unapproved weaponry is subject to Fines and must forfeit any and all Wins gained using them. Those that do not make use of Weapons in Team Battles normally rely on unarmed combat and Martial Arts to compete.
A Staple of Team Battles. Tactical Blades are mass produced Millitary Grade bladed weaponry. They are fairly easy to come by and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. This includes Swords, Knives, throwing Shuriken, Axes, and Polearms. The most basic kind do not have embellishments of any kind, being composed of a steel blade and a rubber grip. They can, however, be customized in a variety of ways and it is not unusual to see bladed weaponry unusual styles and colors.
Almost as popular as Tactical Blades, Airsoft guns come in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and ammunition carrying capacity. This includes various Guns and Pistols, Rifles, Bows, and Crossbows. The I.D.C.C forbids the use of Legitimate Firearms in Daemon Battles and I.D.C.C approved Airsoft Ranged Weaponry is used instead. When used in Combat, a Daemon's energy is sufficient enough to make the foam darts into dangerous projectiles, increasing their range, speed, and firepower. Entire communities exist devoted to the subject of modding Airsoft guns to make them stand out, and conventions on the subject draw in large crowds.
Often used in conjunction with Short Swords, Shields can be used by themselves within Battles. Millitary Grade Riot Shields are the easiest to come by and the most common, but a Daemon can compose more stylish ones using their own power. In addition to protecting the wielder, they can be used to slam opponents, both disorienting them and knocking them over. If enough force is applied an Opponent can be sent out of bounds. Particularly skilled Combatants can fling their Shields for a long ranged attack as well.
Costumes of all kinds can be seen in Battles, with Human and Daemon alike coordinating their outfits to express themselves. Armor is particularly popular and useful however. Lightweight Military covering is the norm more often than not as Medival style armors are heavy and a bit cumbersome at times. But Daemons can produce particularly exotic and fantastical sets by shrouding their Human Partner in their own Power. Any Armor that isn't I.D.C.C approved must be supplied by a Daemon in Combat.
While not used as often as other types of Weaponry, I.D.C.C approved Grenades are still an important part of Daemon Battles. Flashbangs, Smoke Bombs, and Concussive Grenades are all allowed within Daemon Battles and are used to both injure and disorient foes. Daemons can enhance these explosives with their own power to increase their power and damage radius.

Despite the I.D.C.C’s efforts to maintain strict regulations on Daemon Combat events, Illegal matches are still a problem the world over. These Underground Rings cropped up as a way to circumvent the Registration, Fees and Fines that come with Legally sanctioned matches and are highly dangerous. Like the first matches from the early days, these fights are rife with abuse, injury and death. Each Country's Government has its own laws in place to combat these Underground Rings. But Combatants are almost always given Jail time.
Sadly, Daemons considered too dangerous and too far gone as a result of these practices to consider allowing back into everyday society are often forcibly contained and dispersed. Many Daemon Rights Groups find this to be a barbaric and unfair punishment to force upon Daemonkind, and to this day it is a hot button issue. One of many in regards to the presumed sentience of Daemons, along with their actual place in the world.
