SETTING 

All events take place in coastal Oregon during the mid-late 2000s, mainly within the cities of Florence and Minerva. 

EARTHLY DEMONS (EDs)

Entities that feed off of human energy.

Earthly Demons feed off of human energy, each demon specializing to a specific type of human energy (sometimes called Attractive Traits). To meet their needs, they will attach to a human host that has high levels of the demon's preffered attractive trait surrounding them. While earthly demons are not inherently malevolent, they will influence human actions. Usuallly they can only affect the host's behavior, although more powerful Demons may influence other surrounding humans to increase certain emotions or experiences for more efficient feeding. Demons will often remain attached to a host until the host dies, but there are rare cases in which an earthly demon will abandon a host early due to insufficient feeding.

Unlike Deities, Earthly Demons can die, though it is much more difficult for them die compared to mortals. The only way they can die is via starvation- deprivation of human energy for extended amounts of time. Many Earthly Demons die in youth, if they struggle to find potent hosts suited to their tastes.

All Earthly Demons originated from Fyli / "Phillip", some considering him to be the first Earthly Demon because his birth is a result of human society. New Demons can only be born as a result of excess human energy.

Earthly Demons reside on the physical plane of existence, under Fyli's jurisdiction. While Kafka and Hemin are aware of them, interaction is uncommon and generally avoided. None of them can cross over the Gate.

A story centering around generational trauma, financial struggles, and the cultural conflict of traditionalism vs. modernism faced by diaspora in the US. Vaguely inspired by The Backrooms / "liminal space" imagery
