Demons and fallen angels

CW: There will bre mentions of cannibalism. Demons be evil. They be eating people. You’ve been warned.

While the terms demon and fallen angel (or just fallen) might be used interchangeably, they mean two very different things.

Fallen angels = something that was an angel before, and now it’s not. At full power they can smoke even the most powerful demons, and are generally more respected and with a higher rank in the hierarchy. The always have wings and can fly. (Note: Belial, despite being a fallen angel, doesn’t have any wings or horns. But he’s special, and we will talk about him too)

Demons = something that was never an angel. They’re a bit weaker that fallen angels, even if the oldest and more experienced ones can become quite powerful. They never have wings, and animal feature (tail, claws etc.) are also optional. Unlike angels, they can be born and not just created.

Ascended demon = a demon turned into an angel. We’ll get to that.

And now the Heavy Lore Trademark

What happens when an angel falls Okay so. Angels are vessels for the Word of God, beings made of pure divine energy. They’re immortal and don’t need to eat to survive. Once an angel falls, their connection to God is severed. This means they don’t have a purpose and that they’re not sustained by divine energy anymore. Unlike angels, fallens can bleed, and get injured by human means. They also need to take care of their now physical body! Azazel needs to eat to survive! Sure, he might go longer than a human without water or food, but he can still starve and that’s not pretty. AND, unlike angels, a fallen might choose to create, and find a new purpose in their life. It’s usually for evil tho. Sorry.

How a demon is born When a fallen daddy and a fallen mommy love eachother very much, the result is a demon.This unions are rarely out of love, and more just for convenience, or to grow the numbers of Satan’s army. Unions between humans and fallen angels also produce demons. There are, however, different ways to get a demon: the more a human sins in life (and doesn’t repent) the more this will weigh on their soul. Once a corrupt soul gets to hell, their sins coagulate into some sort of goop that gets scraped off and molded into a demon. This type of demon is incredibly low in rank (but can grow to become powerful). Humans can also turn into demons as a result of a deal with the Devil, or if they were very very terrible people. Humans-turned-demons are also very low in the hierarchy, and advancing in ranks for them is incredibly difficult. While a human-turned-demon can also ascend, they do not become an angel, and just get blasted into heaven.

Speaking of ranks: the demon hierarchy Unlike Heaven, where angels are divided into neat little categories, Hell is a hot mess (pun intended). While a Cherub understands that a Seraph is of a higher rank, and would respect them for it, demons are always at eachother’s throat, trying to one up eachother and advance in rank. A Duke might respect a King to their faces, but you can be sure they’re definitely planning something behind their back. Demons and fallens killing eachother is incredibly common too, and Hell is usually plagued by civil wars between this and that demon.True crabs in a bucket mentality. The only one who gets a modicum of respect is Satan/Lucifer, who’s extra careful in running the show and ruling over Hell with an iron fist.

Demon magic: how? Angel magic = supplied by God, and therefore incredibly powerful and without limit. All angels can tap into this limitless reservoir of self-sustaining godly energy to fuel their heavenly fire. Sure, no angel is as powerful as god (except maybe Apollyon but shhhh) but it’s still leagues ahead of a demon.

Fallen angel magic = once an angel falls, their connection to God (and His magic) is severed. HOWEVER, since they once were angels, the touch of divinity is still present in them, and can power an incredibly weak version of their magic. The heavenly fire turn into brimstone but without fuel, it can’t hold a candle to an angel’s powers. This is where humans (and their souls) come in. Human souls (created directly by God!) are an incredible source of energy, and they’re harvested once a contract or a deal is fulfilled. The fallen consumes the human soul, which can power their magic for a really long time. Human bodies are also harvested sometimes, and... eaten. To regain energy. This is also the reason for blood sacrifices and offerings during a summoning ritual! The demon/fallen angel needs a lot of energy to reach the human plane, so they take those offerings to sustain themselves. This is also why Azazel’s brimstone is so weak compared to others: he’s never made a deal with a human and refuses to consume any human soul.

Demon magic = kinda works like fallen angel magic (with human souls as fuel etc.) BUT unlike angel magic, it has a limit. Once the power of a human soul has run out, a demon is left basically defensless. They can fuel their magic with their own flesh and blood, but this takes an immense toll on the demon’s health, and is usually a last resort in truly dire situations. Note: even the weakest demon is leagues more powerful than the strongest human. You need an angel to fight a demon!

A little tangent about demon possession Both fallen angels and demons can possess human bodies BUT in different ways. Demons physically get inside the human body. This requires energy that can be supplied by the human soul. Once the soul is fully consumed and its power runs out, the human dies. Fallens can pilot a human body from afar, like a puppetteer. Their real body stays in Hell, safe from the dangers of the human world, and they maintain consciousness over both bodies. Very powerful fallens (Semjaza, Satan) can also possess multiple people at once.

Ascended demons Once they repent and seek guidance, a demon can ascend and become an angel. Their brimstone gets burned and replaced with heavenly fire, and the connection to God now sustains them, so they don’t need to eat or consume human souls. They also get a nice flaming halo and a pair of wings that enables them to fly. An ascended demon is, for all intents and purposes, an angel. Once they ascend they usually get a new name, and they might get an angel assigned to them as a sort of mentor, so they can acclimate to Heaven better.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Demons and fallen angels are not the same as monsters. We’ll also get to that. Lilith is a monster, not a demon. We will talk at length about her too.
