THE RACES
THE HUMANS
The inherent kings and queens of planet earth, this species is the most abundant in the world of today. This, however, should not be a surprising development. They have proven to be a hardy race that refused to ever back down, and belligerently fought its way through troubles and tribulations. Now, even among demons, they claim themselves to be the masters of an alien race. A human can form a Faustian Contract with a demon, forming a sort of mutual companionship - albeit it sometimes being highly lacking in the sense of camaraderie.
THE DEMONS
Folklore has them born from the mouth of Satan, or brooded by the hands of Hades. They were there to cause Virgil and Dante trouble through their long journey, and are constantly blamed for the petty misfortunes that befall mankind. Ill-meaning ilk or not, these creatures are as true as one's next door neighbor, but most fantastical stories told about them lack veracity. However, they walk alongside the human populous on a daily basis. They have willingly bent to servitude under human hands, but at a high price. Always at a high price. Only the contractor and the contractee are privy to the misfortune the human master is subject to once a deal is completed by the hand of the demon. It is a simple process, nothing complicated. The demon serves its human master until the terms of the contract reach completion, and then - and only then - will the demon devour its master's soul. Tastes vary, however, and while some demons enjoy the flavor of a pure, innocent soul, others are more partial for the bitter, spicy taste of wrath and perversion.
Lesser demons are an almost exact copy of the demons that walk the earth under contract. The only thing that sets them apart from their brethren are the very fact that they enjoy a liberty of will. They are not bound by a contract and can thus revel in their freedom, but at the cost of being unable to control their violent thirsts. Unbound demons are many times known for their lack of self control, as a contract is what quells their bestial, feral desires that arise from their very nature.
THE GREATER DEMONS
The greater demons are much like their lesser counterparts in some aspects, and blatantly different in others. They too are not bound by contracts, but they do have some sort of psychological dominion over lesser demons, but only them for when under contract, demons can break the urge of predisposition to following a greater demon's commands. Under usual circumstances, greater demons crave only information. They love to know the goings-on and constantly keep their lesser demon lackeys under check to retrieve the information they've collected.[/ul]

THE REAPERS
Grim Reapers are things of legends. The mere fact that they exist in essentially every nook and cranny of cultural folklore should have been incentive enough to remind us of their existence. Death is an extremely prominent subject in everyone’s lives, and grim reapers are the beings that take the ending of people’s lives as their occupation. All of them own a scythe, whose very name might as well be a misnomer, considering they all are some sort of gardening tool. Strict rules commission that the altering of modification of the scythes is considered in all ways illegal, and punishment is not uncommon for these crimes. The grim reaper society is fairly isolated, as they mostly concentrate only on their work, but there are a few reapers known to derivate from their work to peek into the tasteless throes of daily human life.
