Demons Fall Too

Monsters, aren't all just mindless beasts. Sapient monster species are known as demons. They're native to a sector of dimensions known as "hell".

Like all monsters they feed feed off the pain and negativity of other sapient beings, both physical and emotional. Demons are pure predator, they have no concept of empathy or compassion. Beings that go out of their way to cause pain and misery.

But, as it turns demons can fall too, sometimes demons can gain humanity later in life (humanity witch will be passed down from generation to generation), there's no common event that causes this shift, but its always a traumatic experience.

Unfortunately "falling" doesn't change their feeding. Some demons have found ways to feed ethically.

Fallen demons almost always live amongst non demons (since they can't feed off other demons), typically in dense urban environments were someone around them is bound to feel something negative.

In the year 10234 p.t. the Grand megacity Paradise Omega allowed fallen in the city. This decision was quite the controversial one, even today fallen demons are often the victims of prejudice.

Fallen demon cultural enclaves within this megacity often form around places with lots of negative emotions are felt, like hospitals, funeral homes, and memorial sites. Quite a few fallen demons actually work in Healthcare the pain of the patients feeding them. Boxing and other bloodsports are also rather popular among fallen demons, both as entertainment and for feeding. Some companies sell pain in liquid form known as "liquid misery". Around the cities you'll find a popular fast food chain catering to fallen demons called "Sin Sodas" known for for their "grief sodas" witch are liquid misery mixed with soda.
