The Devil
Author: Justin

Species Name: Devils
Origin: Hell
Average Growth: Varies
Average Weight: Varies
Average Life Span: Indefinite
Special Characteristics: Devils come in all shapes and sizes, for the most part. However, the saying "Size doesn't matter" doesn't apply here, as larger devils bully the weaker ones, and are inevitably more powerful.

What is a devil? Devils are the beings that hold dominion over Hell, a realm that is within Infernia. Beings of incredible power, they are more lawful-minded rather than their chaotic counterparts within the Abyss. While quite physically impressive, their physicality is not like demons. However, they are noted to be more proficient with psionics or magic.

Are all devils really powerful? On the average, devils are more powerful than most other races. Physically dominant and with proficiency in either magic or psionics, they hold an immense advantage over others. However, age is the determining factor for true strength amongst these beings. Older devils are known to be much more powerful, and hoard it over the others.

Do devils have transformations? Unlike others, devils do not have the type of transformations that others, such as changelings and saiya-jin, have. Rather, as they age, devils grow into new forms. Each new form they grow into gives them greater access to their abilities. Each form also has its own unique make-up, so each one is completely different than anyone else's. While two devils may appear to look the same, their physical stature and unique abilities can vary greatly.

Innate Powers

Devils possess superior physical prowess than most races, however pale when put in comparison to demons. Yet they make up for it by possessing either psionics or magic. In the case of psionics, a devil will possess near-mastery over one domain and minor powers from others. In the case of magic, they are, again, near-masters over it and are capable of spells of immense power.

Unique Ability: Each devil will have one ability that is uniquely its own. As such, this is hard to describe, yet can be viewed as a power from within a domain of psionics, a spell from magic, or a specific elemental ability. Some can throw fireballs without effort, while others can unleash a whirlwind of force, capable of breaking down mountains.

Ability Mastery: Devils are masters of their chosen ability, whether it is magic or psionics. In the case of psionics, they will choose one domain in which to master and have a scattering of other powers. In the case of magic, they are more than equal to taking on many mortals who are "masters of magic" and walk away unscathed. As they age, they become more capable in the powers they possess, overwhelming opponents before they know what has happened.

Ki Manipulation: Personal life energy. It can be used to fly, and as a source to channel large energy attacks. Every person has a capacity of Ki, when their bodies are filled it's considered their maximum power level. Increasing Ki will increase stamina, endurance, strength, concentration of energy, and range of sensory granted by having Ki. Devils are less likely to perform things with Ki when they have the option to do the same with either psionics or magic. However, they are capable and can hold their own in its usage.

Special Limitations or Weaknesses

Divine Weakness: Whether it's the mythic come true or simply something, which has developed over time, devils are very weak against that which is considered "divine". Weapons of divine nature cause gruesome wounds to devils, and magic that has a divine source is also a good weapon to use against them.
