Warp Demons

Jump to: navigation, search

Demons are the Children of Lilith, the First Wife of Adam. They are constructs of sin, and the opposite of Angels, and unlike Angels they are far more common in the mortal realm, tempting men with Sin. These however are typically lesser Demons, as more power Demons are actually Fallen Angels and are confined to Hell and influencing men from there imprisonment there.

These lesser Demons though that roamed the Earth, were left on a damned world as Humanity lost its world, and so found a way to leave the Planet and they searched the Galaxy for man again, and found Alien civilizations along the way wreaking havoc on the unprepared beings, however this was not as satisfying as tempting God's chosen creations, as it was so easy to manipulate non-believers as they typically already went against the commandments, usually from lack of knowledge of them.

Eventually though, they found a Civilization with strange powers, that came from some dimension unlike anything the Demons knew. This would be the force that could empower them beyond their Incorporeal forms, but they had no way to access it except for temporarily by possessing those with those powers, they needed to gain access for a more permanent infusion. They used this society and it combined Psychic abilities to locate the New Covenant, or what at the time was the Gomorrahn Republic with a fledgling rebellion that would become the New Covenant.

With the Aliens powers, they gained access to the Warp bubble that separated these humans from the normal universe, and when they finally arrived, they attacked the unsuspecting empire. They established themselves as a permanent Menace gathering a permanent following from the people of the Defeated Republic. Eventually they gained access to the Warp, and then the Warp Demons were born.

This was all perpetrated by the most influential of these lesser demons, Legion, the Demon that had encountered The Messiah, and was cast out by him. Legion had bided its time since then, not to exact revenge, but make itself permanent for fear of being cast back to Hell. To create its own Kingdom of Sin, and to become a god in its own right. The Warp allowed this, and Legion became the First Warp Demon, a Warp God, and the Progenitor of the Other Warp Gods.

The Warp Demons want nothing more than to torture and Defile the Mortal realm, to corrupt it with the Warp and make it their own. With access to the Warp gained the Demons were able to feed off of the thoughts and actions of the material realm, as the collective consciousness of the Galaxy feeds and effects the warp. The Demons eventually separated into finding their own niche to feed from each of the sins of sapient entities became fuel for their power, and the Warp essence of those who perish became their food.

However this access to the Warp had a serious Negative, they became permanently bound to it and must rely on Mortals to allow them access to the Material realm again, though they can always find new followers in the weak minded, as they whisper promises of power to sleeping minds, to grant wishes and give reason to sin.

Demon gods of the Warp

The Demon gods of the warp are fueled by sins of mortals, they feed upon the seven deadly sins and other specific things related to such sins. Each god commands its own Realm in the warp, its size determined by the gods' strength and influence, and how it appears depends on the gods' own desires. Cultists may devote themselves to one or all of them, gaining gifts depending on how much devotion they show, and changing depending on their patron god.

Kalgorhe

Attributes of Followers -Strength -Combat

Kalgorhe is the Demon god of war, slaughter, murder and blood shed. He gets much of his power from the sin of Wrath, though he also takes from Pride as well as this can be related to some that follow him being honorable warriors that take Pride in their strength over others. Kalgorhe is quickly becoming stronger than the other Demon gods as war ravages the galaxy, as every death in war and bloodshed feed his strength. It takes its origin in being the spawn of Legion, where is grew strong enough to take on a consciousness and identity of its own and created its own domain in the warp.
Kalgorhe is typically represented as a warrior god of immense size and martial strength, clad in unholy armors and wielding two massive Great-swords with a horned head that burns, though this depiction varies among the cults that worship it. Its plain in the warp is said to be like a massive battlefield of constant war and death, where rivers of blood flow from the fields, boiling hot with the souls of the fallen screaming eternally, this blood flows into a great lake where a tower of bone stretches upwards into the nether and Kalgorhe sits watchful awaiting to test its might against any mortal or god willing to fight.
Worshipers of Kalgorhe tend to favor martial combat, and using weapons that are highly destructive at mid to close range. They detest magicks of all sorts, as they believe it to cowardly, that if you cannot face the blade then die and bleed by it. Demons of Kalgorhe tend to be strong and brutal, usually using demonic melee weapons forged in the warp. Rituals to summon them require sacrifice and blood, regardless of the source, whether it be hapless victims or the worshipers themselves, all blood is welcome. Great a folly it is to interrupt and attempt to stop a ritual by killing its participants because that only makes the ritual stronger and more potent a signal to summon something far worse than intended. Warriors of Kalgorhe usually go insane from war, driving them to kill more and more, regardless of association, whether it be a fellow warrior or someone serving a different demon, when brought to battle they must be convinced to fight the opposition, being promised plenty to slaughter so that they do not attack those who wish to use them. Those who serve Kalgorhe and wish to ascend and become a Demonic Vassal Lord must commit atrocities of such great repute that Kalgorhe takes notice, how this is accomplished can vary, but as long as it is causes bloodshed and it started with bloodshed.

Puetross

Attributes of Followers -Durability -Disease

Puetross is another Demon god, born of Legion, seen as a parental figure like a father to its followers, one who embraces and protects. However this description is one its followers would give, Puetross though is a god of sloth and gluttony being its sins, and pestilence its aspect. Puetross wallows in disease and bile and feeds of the suffering of hunger and disease as well as feeding of the act Sloth in all its forms and the act of gluttony. As a Demon god, he is not the strongest nor is he the weakest, as war allows pestilence to spread and his followers secretly spread his warp spawned diseases to unfortunate part of the galaxy, its climb in power and influence is slow but this is its nature.
Puetross is represented often as a bloated father like figure, it is not often shown as a warrior, but some of its more combative sects show him clad in a robe of diseased flesh, a distended gut that is bloated, and holding a scythe dripping with pestilence. Its domain is a massive swamp of impossible size, flowing with filth and disease and creatures spawned from its lapping pus. The massive Puetross is said to reside in a swampy lake somewhere within the vast warp swamp, constantly crafting new diseases as well as consuming pile eternally with his jovial "Family" of most devote followers and demon spawn. Those who are undevoted and find them selves in the swamp are eternally plagued by disease and undeath, losing all will to continue and eventually giving up and sinking into the swamp itself.
Worshippers of Puetross bath in disease to show devotion, and gain extreme resistance to pain because of their diseased bodies, this is more noticeable in Demonic Traitor Crusaders and other large humans who may gain natural armor to supplement them from the strange and terrible diseases that flourish happily in their corpse like bodies. In combat they use any tactic available to them, having no particular favorite, though whatever gets the job done quickly is preferred. Warriors of Puetross are unnaturally tough and durable, and tend to be slower though because of it, however they also have passive auras of disease around them, infesting all they come in contact with making them tough to fight as these diseases tend to get past even the best forms of bio-hazard gear. However that is not the only problem one would face, as vehicles and demons they have are just as unnaturally tough tend to use weapons of bio-warfare. Magicks used by there sorcerers are meant to cripple and weaken the enemy or infect them with plagues to turn them into zombies to sow chaos in enemy ranks. Rituals for Puetross involve disease usually and the active spread of it, these rituals are slow and are used for inducting new recruits by forcing them to consume pus and bile of one of their greater demons until they enjoy it and eat it willingly. The greatest gift to the Diseased one is to infect a whole planet, that would assuredly grant one to become a vassal.


Vershna

Attributes of Followers -Agility -Hyper Senses

Vershna is the Demon goddess of Lust and Envy, it is the weakest of the warp deities but finds it a strong suit as it is always least expected by mortals than its more notable brethren. It feeds off of lust, whether is be carnal or lust of wealth and all its more base incarnations, but its other strong-suit is envy, envy of another's skill, possessions, body and so on. It is the patron warp deity of flesh and perfection, thrill seeking to the extreme, its followers continually need to seek more stimulation beyond the mortal scope of comprehension.
It is typically represented as a female, the whore god, whose beauty is supreme that it inspires nothing but repulsion and insane desire. Its features are indescribable and can only be described as disgustingly beautiful or vice versa as it changes on a whim, always determined to be the most desirable object of any eye. Its realm in the warp is a vast
