Demons:
The Demon race can be divided into three distinctive groups:
- Humanoid Demons: A type of humanoid monsters that are members of mankind. They are all classified as both humanoids and monsters.
- Demonic Beasts: Demonic counterparts of animals and other non-humanoid creatures. They are all classified as monsters and are incapable of communicating with other species in a regular case.
Typical characteristics of the Demon races:
- A large variety of skin colors.
- The most usual skin color is blue, while red, purple, and green skin is also possible.
- In the case of a demon with the [Albino] skill, their skin will be a wicked white color, instead of simply pale.
- There also exist demons with the same type of skin color as humans.
- Black sclera.
- Some demons may have regular white sclera or a combination of both.
- Pupils with symbols in them (rare).
- This is often the characteristic of that demon having a Magic Eye skill, or even an Evil Eye skill.
- Horns.
- Typically goat horns, but they can vary.
- Bat-like wings.
- Black feathered wings are also possible. Only on demons with flight-abilities.
- Slender tails.
- Not obligatory, but often seen on humanoid demons. There are other types of tails as well.
Abilities and traits:
All of the demon race emits a type of demonic aura body that inspires a certain type of feeling in those who witness them. It can be anything from fear to awe, from lust to disgust. Again, there may be some species that can conceal this aura, but no demons are conscious of their aura from the start.
Notable abilities that are repeatedly observed in the many demon species are skills related to mental manipulation, darkness attribute skills, summoning abilities, ruler abilities, and while rare, transformation abilities.
Demon Title:
All demons also have the Demon title from birth, which reduces and makes it more difficult to obtain positive Karma, while easing the acquisition of negative Karma. This title is given to any demonic creature, monster or not, but humanoid demons will also receive the [Demonic Storage] skill due to the secret effect of the title. Monsters who have a certain amount of mental capacity, and their sense of self, may also receive this skill.
Personality traits:
As one can probably guess from the abilities of a demon, they are a race that does not end their opponent in a single blow. Instead, they will slowly shave away their opponent's power while inflicting as much pain as possible, both physically and mentally. This may be the reason why demons tend to have a sadistic personality, even if it only shows in the middle of battle.
Another personality trait of the demon race is that they are true to their desires, whenever that may be greed, lust, sloth, or anything else. What type of desire they hold dear is decided by the species, and they hold little self-control when that desire is involved. Some rare cases may have a demon species that does not go crazy due to their desires. Instead, they have more desires than a normal person, while not too extreme degrees as with normal demons.
Relationship with Celestials:
Due to their nature and natural low Karma Value, the demon race is seen as an archenemy of the Celestial race, especially the Flugel species. However, many demon species do not despise Celestials. Quite the contrary, they find a perverse pleasure of annoying, tempting, and corrupting Celestials. This behavior is not found in demons with an inborn [Holy Weakness].
Demon Summoning:
Demons are one of the two humanoid, non-monster races that can be summoned with a summoning spell, the second one being Celestials. A demon can create a special summoning-grimoire that people can use to call upon the demon. When summoned, the demon will fulfill one wish for the summoner, as long as they can offer a fitting payment.
Despite negative rumors about demon-summoning, demons are strict about their contracts, and will not try to harm the contractor that summoned them, as long as they fulfill their part of the bargain. Also, demons will only take accept payment of an equal value as their services. Nothing more, nothing less.

Are demons able to refuse or delay a summoning? It seems quite inconvenient otherwise, since they could potentially be summoned while they are doing something embarrassing like taking a bath or while they are fighting. Also, will Garami ever make a summoning-grimoire for herself so that people can summon her? Considering she is an assassin, allowing people to summon her would be a good way to find work, assuming she can refuse after being summoned if she doesn’t want to do a job, for example someone summoning her to assassinate a child or something.
For the first question, that depends on the quality of the grimoire. And for the second, no, she doesn't want to make one. What if people with a grudge against her used it against her? Those are more for those noble demons that people want around to fulfill their wishes.
Fór class to help with assassination poison maker, apotheciary might be good and if your give garami ranger weapon then sniper. Pyrotechnician?
are there gun based classes? as a second question is there a gun arts skill of some sort(asked this question before never got a answer)
There is, but they are even more difficult to obtain than Assassin and Alchemist.

I'm sure here the pronouns are swapped :V
care to give a hint about the garamis future class progression
Hmm, I am a little unsure about that. There will be another Summoner upgrade, and I'll add a crafting class, but I'm not sure after that. Adding something that can assist Assassin would be ideal, but I'm not sure in which way it should do that.
@Greydra alchemist would be very useful for all his/her classes its the versatility that would be advantageous addition for most possible classes given that it is a jack-of-all ultimate crafting class and has some very hard to achieve requirements
garami needs more mental manipulation skills
what is garamis aura?
A mix of awe and fear. Or maybe dreadful could be better? For the enemy, I mean.
does the empyrean eye affect the pupils if not garami needs a magic/demon eye skill
They do, but so does [Appraisal] after reaching LV9.
It's only a visible change, and one can use more "Eye"-skills at the same time. But only to the same amount as eyes. Also, I misspelled there first. It's Evil, not Demon Eyes. My bad.
how accurate is this in regards to garami?
Which part are you talking about?
@Greydra each part most of those seem a bit off from what we have seen but i could be misjudging it
@Noxsis Garami's race, Kur Kigal, is a battle race that operates in the shadows, so their desires and emotions aren't so hard strung as other demons, even if Garami herself is one of the more lively ones. They also have no main desires, despite being close relatives to succubus and incubus.
@Greydra the likes to prolong fight to inflict more pain seems to be the opposite of a assassin
@Noxsis True, but remember her taking good time dismantling those wild skeletons before meeting Jack? Essentially, she likes to torture monsters if she has the opportunity, and when there's a large safety margin.
