One would think there are only demons and souls in hell, but there are a number of other equally unpleasant dwellers in those dark corners. Dark creatures and pagan gods make their home on the fringes as well, though the main and most important bulk of the populace can be classified into three groups.
Fallen: These are the angels that followed Lucifer into the fires. They comprise the top and most important ranking in all of hell, more powerful than any in the realm. The seven princes make up the top tier(hand picked by Lucifer) followed by the Dukes, Knights, Keepers, Warlords, Captains and Generals.
All Fallen can speak any and all tongues spoken in hell, though Enochian is careful to only be shared among themselves and never taught to others.
Demons:Ā Demons are the once-human souls, twisted and corrupted to mirror Hell's might and remain loyal to the realm. Depending on how well they prove themselves they range from the smallest errand-taker all the way up to the possibility of being a General if they remain steadfast in their loyalty.
Many who are not apprenticed under another of high rank are separated into factions under the Commanders or Generals and work for the benefit of their assigned faction. [Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, Chaos, Temptation, Deceit] Alternatively, if a Fallen or Demon of higher ranking finds one worth the effort they may claim the lower as a prize, in which case the chosen demon is to remain loyal to their new master and do what they are bid.
Eyes are white, black, red or yellow depending on rank. Demons speak their native tongue on Earth or Hellspeak, the native tongue of Hell.
Daemons: Though often casually referred to as Hellions (Actually a term for whoever lives in hell) Daemons are minions produced specifically to serve whichever faction created them. They were never human souls, and it is debatable whether they even posses one, as souls are generally reserved for humans.
Appearances differ, though all have pointed, poison-tipped fangs and claws. Some have horns, others leathery wings, hooves, clawed feet, scales, spikes or tails. Minions(Daemons) have only the capability of conversing in Hellspeak, and it is rare they have enough self-awareness to even bother wondering at any other language.Ā
As they are created for the sole purpose of serving their master they have no physical needs, and therefore no systems in need of care. While Fallen and Demons wear clothing Daemons do not, as they have nothing to cover. No reproductive organs or genitals of any kind. Not surprisingly, there are no males or females in either case, and one cannot tell one from the other other than if they told you. Unlike humans Daemons do not have a preference as to which, and asking would only garner confusion. Many do not bother going so far as to question.
(There are minor personality traits that can be witnessed on the rare occurrence they are bid some free time, however those events are usually spent by them going out and taking enjoyment in malicious intent rather than anything else, and that kind of behavior is not likely to give any clues.)
Daemons are used for the smallest, most minor labor in Hell. Polishing, cleaning, cooking if necessary, sharpening blades or serving drinks if black-eyed demons aren't available. Their small stature is ideal for these tasks, they move swiftly (In a scurrying nature) and often without sound. (if they do not have hooves)Ā
