Demons

Definition
A demon or daemon is a paranormal, often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, and folklore. The original Greek word daimon does not carry the negative connotation initially understood by implementation of the Koine δαιμόνιον (daimonion), and later ascribed to any cognate words sharing the root.

Terran Human folklore
 In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an unclean spirit, sometimes a fallen angel, the spirit of a deceased human, or a spirit of unknown type which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish demonology, and Christian tradition, a demon is a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.

General Universe
Almost all known civilizations[1] known have legends about demons and supernatural malevolent beings. Regardless how technological advanced and scientifically emancipated a society is[2], there are legends, stories,occultism and folklore about such beings.[3]

Demons are distinctive different from gods but in some societies and cultures the definitions are fluid and not clearly separate.

The Coven (Union Member Species) are exiled/ expelled denizen of the Nether worlds and their true form [4]is perceived differently by every Core plane being.

In 5080 a race of Netherworld beings[5] joins the Union and are officially designated as Union Demons. They are however not demonic but simply beings of an alternate Universe percieved that way.

Science of Demons
Workgroup OLYMPUS – Hades Section collects, investigates and catalogs legends and mythology regarding Demonic legends and declared in 5081 that there is no such thing as a demon but most legends are based on superstition or misconception and the inability to explain Multi Universe conditions. CLASSIFIED: The Dark One closed all rifts between the Multi Verses and thus restored the RULE. However he created a permanent Trans Dimensional Tunnel connecting the 5th Plane of the Netherworld to allow the Union Demons access to the Union and vice versa

Notes and Notations
[1] Noteworthy are the X101, Archa, the Camogi and the Boloth who have no such concepts. Neither species has any form of religion and never developed mysticism.

[2] Even the Narth, the Pree and the Uni had such concepts. The Narth do not have a religion but stated that there are real roots and events to all religions and that the common base of these believes are the denizen of the Nether planes and occasional rifts in time and space allowing these denizen to interact with the core plane of reality

[4] Base / Core Universe (Our reality) beings do not have the senses and ability to perceive conditions of different planes of reality. Most core Universe beings are unable to perceive Quasi Space, Hyper Space, Nether Worlds and their minds substitutes forms and perceptions. In the case of the Coven, their true form is percieved as the demons of the onlookers folklore. This negative, frightful perception is explained in the fact that the Nether worlds are part of the Negative Universe and thus are seen as the most negative thing a person can substitute.
