Overview[]
Rulers of the Underworld, or Demons, appeared not so long after the underworld was created from swirling lava residing under the Overworld. They are children of the planet who refused to co-exist with lives. They believed that very existence of life's natural death corrupts natures of deities and make them mortal beings destined to inevitably die someday. Goddess of the earth exiled them to the Underworld, their powers almost broken down to pity level compared to past. There, they became so-called "demons", an entities of legend, hungry for power and elimination of life. By power of Aress Kaelis, they created what they called "underwordlings", but obviously, the absurd plan failed. Then they were handed over to Aress, and he planned to use Underworldlings into advantage: to completely purge other realms besides the Underworld, and then annihilating even the Underworld with their power. Of course, having no idea about their creators' purpose, Underworldlings trained themselves by clashing into each other, according to their given instincts. Th most successful nations soon dominated the whole underworld, and nation of Inferion and Vultarus were the ones to remain. The Demons started to control them from behind, resulting in bloody early history of Arrasia.
But some of the Demons were not sharing common goal of eliminating mortal life, since four of them quickly changed their mind and started to rebel against 6 Demons responsible for disasters caused to Arrasia. They decided to use their given powers as an advantage, actively creating armies and restricting actions of Demons to smaller and smaller limits. Other four decided to reincarnate into individuals on overworld. Despite having no memories of the past, these reborn Demons were solely guided by the course of destiny set by Celesta Maishandra. Reincarnated Demons promised to end the brutality of hostile Demons and return to their past glorious era.
List of Demons[]
There are total of 13 Demons present, each with inconceivable power in their hands. Demons have extremely strict rule stating that one Demon cannot harm another, which is the reason why four Demons decided to reincarnate into mortals, therefore bypassing the rule. Demons are able to twist the laws of physics and histories of planets into a shape they desire. They had already done it multiple times.
#0: Celesta Maishandra
Ability: Legislating laws of Demon
"Aderiken Rulebook in her hand is an omnipotent tool for controlling the Demons. Drawing pure energy from the earth, the Rulebook changes fates of deities. And her, Celesta Maishandra, the scribe of planet and oldest daughter of planet's goddess, has power to create and rewrite sacred rules of fate. While the tip of a pen stained in enchanted ink dances above infinite pages, destiny of planet changes every second. She suppresses forces of Underworld from destroying the world. As a wise scribe god once said, pen is stronger than a sword..."
Celesta Maishandra is oldest of Demons, and is part of resistance force against offensive hemispheres. Her main job is to legislate rules of lifeforms by editing the Aderiken Rulebook. The Rulebook is considered as the most complex form of text existing on the entire planet, since to make the written rule valid, even the finest thinker (Celesta Maishandra) has to ponder for months or the rule does not function even if it is written on the Aderiken Rulebook. Management of the Rulebook is often considered to be the most important job of Maishandra, and it is. Nobody except her can neither add nor subtract anything from the Rulebook; it is made only for Maishandra herself, directly from the goddess of the Planet.
#1: Rienerion
Ability: Reversing the boundaries
"Among the uncanny cracks shattering the underworld, lies a twisted sets of realities where the young descendant of flames reside. Rienerion, known for his ability to cause absolute mayhem, is sealed by Aderiken Rulebook. Power to reverse boundaries, an ability so feared by many. Reversing the boundary of loss and win, prosperous nation burns to dust. Reversing the boundary of motion and stillness, celestial objects shatter in utter chaos. Reversing the boundary of nothing and everything, numerical values fail to function. Reversing the boundary of life and death, fallens are born and roams around the realm, hungry for souls..."
Rienerion is the youngest Demon. He is the one who is in charge of all the boundaries, reversing them to the opposite when the fate tells him to do so. Although the ability makes Rienerion close to invincible for living creatures (since boundary of life and death can be reversed, killing living being instantly), range is present and does not work on planet's gods or ones that are not dead nor alive (ex. underworldlings). He was the most offensive Demon toward existence of life, and was eventually sealed by Rhendeor and his infinite blades. However, Rienerion still controls necessary part of fate that needs his control, such as mortality of life.
#2: Gamagene Rhendeor
Ability: Summoning weapons at will
"From pure violet spells of universe and old enchantment of Underworld, Gamagene Rhendeor founded the people of iron. Both fierce fighters and wise thinkers, people of iron never stopped progressing. When Rhendeor declared full-blown war against invasion force of Rienerion, the strongest and most hostile of Demon, Rhendeor's people was broken into unnoticeably small scale compared to their past. Sealing of Rienerion was costly for people of iron, leaving only five finest warriors with no rest surviving. Rhendeor decided to raise them to their best, until they were capable of facing a threat as big as Demons themselves. These warriors, later called Rebellion God Force, has been massacring army of millions of demons under the command of King Rhendeor, ever since..."
Gamagene Rhendeor is the second youngest Demon right after Rienerion. He is known to actively meet inhabitants of overworld and meet with Eternals and Primordials. His ability is rather weak compared to other Demons: creating diverse kinds of powerful tools, especially weapons, from energy of the earth. These weapons forged from spells have a wide range of power from setting tree on fire to shaking the ground with giant earthquake. By using this ability, he constructed his biggest accomplishment: great civilization of weapon-forgers. The civilization ultimately ended Rienerion's ruthless act of destruction done to overworld, albeit at the cost of whole nation. Their five descendants, all members of Rebellion God Force, protects Overworld from hands of Demons and actively searches ways to demolish the Demons once and for all.
#3: Aress Kaelis
Ability: Causing geological activities
"Challenger of resistence force, holding flaming grudge against eight Demons who betrayed his force. Aress Kaelis's rage trembles earth, mountains collapsing and volcanoes forming. His blow shatters the land, and rains down fire rain of white-hot stones. His breathe scorches the land, and stains the land in grey ash. Monstrous disciples from old ones' era follows Aress Kaelis's command, delivering flaming lava out of the underworld and darkening the skies of Arrasia. Leading the original Demons hungry for end of mortality after Rienerion has been sealed, he became the strongest Demon in no time. Aress Kaelis is geology itself, thus invincible from Mishandra's power. Sealing Aress Kaelis is sealing the geology, which is same as killing the planet. Demons follow him, and with thousands of feared monsters under his control, he devours the realm and looks over the place of planet's ultimate deity..."
Aress Kaelis is master geological activities happening throughout the planet, as well as flow of heat from one point to another. Transferring of heat is almost instantaneous, able to control flow of planet's internal heat to mold the land into shape he wants. As long as Aress exists, the planet is alive and geology is active. Although this cannot be considered as an ability of evil god, he is a current leader of Demons against existence of mortal life. Ever since the great sealing of Rienerion, Aress Kaelis managed two nations: Vultarus and Inferion.
#4: Adaleirus
Ability: Constructing machines
"The broken god... that's what mortals call her. Deity of metal and technological evolution, she is the one who gave Underworldlings the technology of far future. Protecting the innocent Underwordlings via her sacred machine world, safe from commands of heartless emperors and twisted Demons. After she joined the rebellion against exterminators of mortals, she was shattered into hundred pieces by Renekairin's devourers. Reformation was done by Overworld's religion worshiping Adaleirus, rearranged with better shape than before. Renekairin then sealed herself along Adaleirus, two no longer able to use their power in any meaningful way possible. One who gets freed from the seal frees another. Yet, her children does not know what consequences their mother's revival will unfold..."
Adaleirus is a machine god, able to control or neutralize anything using mechanical properties to function, as well as creating a machine by herself. Like Aress, Adaleirus is a full embodiment and representation of technology itself. She progresses all of Arrasia's scientific progress, much admired by residents of Iberiden and Tank Alliance. Long ago, Renekairin and Adaleirus battled each other in full force, eventually leading to sealing of Renekairin but also to fragmentation of Adaleirus. After that, a major religion of Arrasia appeared to reassemble a deity they believed will bring the era of technological revolution. Reformation was done but Renekairin sealed herself along with Adaleirus, still slumbering under the crust of the planet but her machine force still fighting against Renekairin's creations.
#5:Renekairin
Ability: Creating various creatures
"Broken god Adaleirus's nemesis, and founder of biological perfection, sealed deep under the mountain of Veledon. Great cave below the mountain is where soul of two deities reside, one mother of technology and one mother of biology. Two armies battle endlessly, winning side freeing their creator. However, such duel was meaningless from the first place, since Renekairin predicted machine force's victory far before and connected to her with inescapable link: one who gets revived wakes up another. Machine armies will win, and Renekairin will be revived. Creature armies if they win, will also free Adaleirus. While the Overworld is completely unaware of fate that has already set its way to catastrophic course, the revival is nigh..."
Renekairin, an opposite Demon of Adaleirus, represents biological beings. She creates whole species at will, and is one who filled the planet's surfaces with flourishing animals and plants when the planet was still very young. She was not a Demon in the first place, since she was the one who largely participated in creation of mortality. However, as time passed, relationship between Renekairin and Adaleirus grew more and more troublesome, as not only Adaleirus betrayed the planet's goddess and became a demons, they had ideologies strictly defying each other. While Adaleirus wanted mechanical civilization progressing by her own will, Renekairin much preferred the idea of living and dying mortals valuing out good and bad things by a special scale of life and death. But once Renekairin learned that mortals were not acting as they were intended, some filled with greed and even abusing the value of life and death, she eventually joined the side of Demons. She still kept her ideology of mortal civilization, temporarily agreeing on the side of life exterminators to scour the planet clean to give rise to new, better mortals. Because Adaleirus continued to oppose Renekairin's ideology, two fought a war with their full force, resulting in seal of both.
#6: Edneus Grakal (current) / Derainar Arelis (past)
Ability: Wielding dual blade (current) / Casting destructive spells (past)
"The first reincarnation of once most destructive demon, now acts against his past friends' bloody ideology. Known as the best swordsman on the Overworld, Grakal is head of most skilled fighters right below members of Rebellion God Force. His shining blue sword has slain thousands of monsters, and his wisdom has led to reunion of his Regalithan nation. A king known by his point-perfect use of spells and generosity without ranks. In the past he has requested Maishandra to set the course of his reincarnation to devastate evils no matter the cost, and the fate is starting to work..."
#7: Rendemis Asteris (current) / Terrene Kleinne (past)
Ability: Wielding Gemsperian gems (current) / Absorbing anything (past)
"One of Gemsperian Leader, and the best among all. Five clans of nonunified Gemsperians arranged into one under the reign of Rendemis, prospering more than ever. She might not be the best swordsman, but is well-recorded on Arrasia's history by her wise governing and strategies of unmatched level. United army of Gemsperians have became the strongest in Arrasia, even almighty nations only a servant in front of it. Allied with Demons against exterminators of life, Rendemis' army is indestructible..."
#8: Iairionn Pyrius
Ability: Having a fighting skill of unmatched level
"Give him a wooden stick, then a nation will be erased. Give him a small knife, then unconquerable machine regiment of Iberiden will be devastated. Give him the weakest shield and a sword, then Arrasia will fall. Let him have his bloody battleaxe of million lives slain, then a Demon will have one's lifeline cut. Unfit for rude personality, Pyrius gives best to his Underworldling nations and disciples. Death of least valuable troop is treated at the best care, and one who feeds on others' suffering is met with ruthless punishment by Pyrius himself. Aggressive Demons earned all the grudges of Pyrius by relentlessly abusing Underworldlings for own good. Battle-hungry fighter and unable to tolerate ties, Weapon Master Pyrius has been working with Maishandra to deliver unrefined punishments to enemies of life..."
#9: Alderin (current) / Aurus Cetus (past)
Ability: Leading the nation (current) / Creating history (past)
"Monarch of nation even if he rejects the title, best-praised scholar even if he tries to be humble. The finest of Tanks after their founder, leading them to second era of great enlightenment at both knowledge and technology. Not limited by capabilities of migrator species, he has established permanent territories of Tanks all across Arrasia. Humanitarian ideology coming in front of anything, where no one suffers in trade. Reputation rising to the best among nations, despite Tanks' bloody history. When Underworld starts to arise besides wicked deities, Alderin, as his former self once did, sends troops of purge to fulfill the past purpose..."
#10: Saiderin
Ability: Manipulating the events by rearranging constellations
"Contradicting opponent of Celesta Maishandra, the one who keeps lifelines of hostile Demons lasting and safe. Her book of star map is a result of exploiting the energy of earth, drawing despicable dark magics to change the course of events. Tackling the sacred skymap of ancients, Saiderin is the most despised demon of all, and counteracts Maishandra's power. As an evil Demons' guardian, Siderin's sins are intolerable. Although she possesses power equivalent to that of Maishandra's enchanted rulebook, she is yet to realize that she will be the first Demon to be killed by the shining blade of Arelis' reincarnation..."
#11: Velkasaer (current) / Ianaril Volcanis (past)
Ability: Having the best swordfighting and thinking skill (current) / Creating soldiers at will (past)
"Emperor of Vultarus species has once stained the Overworld with bloody battles. Now, he is doing the same to his former ally. For centuries, Saiderin has halted the progression of Velkasaer's destiny, nullifying the sacred Rulebook and stopping Velkasaer from fulfilling his destiny. Every single one of Demons' disciples were defeated by flawless soldiers Velkasaer has created as former self, and what hostile Demons fear the most is Velkasaer, written in the Rulebook to cause more damage to them than even Ianaril Volcanis once did. The Rulebook has managed to progress the fate a slight bit, leading to freeing of Vultarus from rules of Demons. If the fate progresses any further than this, along with three other Demons against enemies of life, VFelkasaer will make evil Demons finally pay for their sins of millions of years..."
#12: Baurele Drakenis
Ability: Evolving at will
"Weakest of Demons upon creation, but now an ultimate weapon against entirety of Arrasia. Drakenis is immortal. He does not, can not, and will not die. Power of evolution has granted him an ability to become the perfect one, adapting no matter how harsh the condition around might be. Crunching jaws, piercing horn, and gilded teeth. Gourmet of the land, being beyond evolution, and devourer of continents. Millions of years were enough for Drakenis to grow to inconceivable scale, and not only he has a grudge against living beings and mortality, his ultimate goal is to eliminate every motions on the planet, including earth god herself. If Drakenis was not sealed sooner, the planet would not have been what it is today."
"...Creature of armored flesh never stops limitless evolution..."
"...Forests wither in a matter of seconds, there not survives one microbe behind his trail..."
"...When the planet has breathed its last breath, the planet will become the perfect world..."
"...The perfect world, a world where dreams come true..."
