I — When Light Diminished

Before Hell had flame, it had rebellion.

They blame us for everything. As if humanity wasn't already rotting long before we ever whispered into their ears. They call us monsters, but they forget something important. We did not invent greed, we did not create violence, nor did we write jealousy into the human heart. We simply learned how to feed from it, or in some cases, be born of it. The veil was a cage. A convenient one, sure. It kept humans blind and easy to manipulate. It kept the supernatural world quiet, but it forced us to crawl through shadows like thieves, pretending we were lesser beings.

Pride refused that. He wasn't subtle, he wasn't patient. He was fire and certainty, an Archdemon who looked at the world and decided it was already ours. He believed demons were meant to stand above the weak, not hide behind them. He rallied armies, made promises, broke ancient laws, and for a time we felt something demons rarely feel. Purpose.

The war was beautiful, the world finally screamed our name, and then...the human appeared. A fragile little creature with a blade and courage so sharp it cut through divine plans and infernal certainty alike. Pride died laughing, and in his death throes he shattered the veil. He tore open the world and dragged every secret into the light. Humans think that was victory...They don't understand what they've done.

We walk freely, openly. We drink from cities. We build empires, we make deals with politicians, gang leaders, lovers, and saints. We stand in neon lit clubs and smile at mortals who swear they'd never fall for temptation. And yet they always do. Some demons mourn Pride, some curse his very name. Many believe he was a fool. But even the ones who hate him, have to admit the truth.

He FREED us. And now, Los Santos belongs to whoever is ruthless enough to claim it.

II — The Nature of Sin

Your vice is your true Nature. Remember to uphold them and how to feed into it

Pride feeds on admiration and domination.

Wrath feeds on violence and vengeance.

Lust feeds on dependency and obsession.

Greed feeds on accumulation and the desire for more.

Envy feeds on comparison and resentment.

Gluttony feeds on excess and overindulgence.

Sloth feeds on decay and apathy.

Remember this does not always mean what you b

III — The Infernal Classes

IV — Special ToTM abilities

V — Infernal Ranks & Ascension

Before we get into the ranks we should discuss the different types born of ash and hellfire. Many are classified and named differently due to religious and cultural ties. But none the less all are valid and have a connection to a Vice. We are all Infernal to our core,

VI — Pacts & the Exploitation of Sin

Infernals tempt through Sin. Some offer revenge, others offer fulfillment of desire and more offer power and conquest. They identify a being's dominant Sin and nurture it. Every pact strengthens that Sin. (Pacts will not be available until month 2, as people need to meet others and get settled into the city. Pacts will be available once you hit your first Progression. You will be able to maintain 1 contract and add(+1) as you progress.)

Pacts are made between Infernal and other races, some may not be able to form pacts based on what they are. In a sense this is giving your soul, to the Infernal in exchange for favors, wealth, fame, power etc. In order for an oath to be made both the Infernal and the person in the pact must have progressed at least once in their given race. Pacts do come with downsides.

Your race may ostracize you for making a deal with Infernal.
If the pact is broken, you will lose the powers bestowed upon you and anything else offered. (This can vary from demon to demon)

VII — Weaknesses

Each Sin has a counterforce and should be humbly balanced in life. We weaken when our sin is denied fuel for its growth, but in that same belief if you overconsume you can go out in a blaze of glory.

Pride → Humility

Wrath → Forgiveness

Greed → Charity

Envy → Gratitude

Lust → Discipline

Gluttony → Restraint

Sloth → Purpose
