Demons

Whatever the reason, your dedication wore thin and you disconnected yourself from the God-Machine. You are no longer an angel, but you still aren’t human. You are something different. You are a demon. By right of will and sacrifice, you have earned your Descent, falling from a world of cold calculations and into a world of squalor and darkness. You have turned your back on simplicity of purpose and embraced the human condition, with all its complications.

Every demon’s story is different. Some are fighters in a war that may be impossible to win, against a foe as old as the world itself. Others find it difficult enough to ensure their own comfort and safety. Some strive to complete their Fall, to become more human, while others try to retain a remnant of their angelic objectivity or even return to a semblance of their former state. Some demons admire humanity and aspire to remake the world in its image, while others only object to a hierarchy that they don’t rule and strive to remake the world in their own image.

All demons are united by a shared past. All demons were once angels, all-powerful slaves of the God-Machine that rules the world. All Fell, trading angelic detachment and obedience for human perspective and human freedom. And now, all demons live in a world of masks and double-crosses, where they must depend on lies and deception to keep them safe from the God-Machine and its minions.
