The Luciferians

There are a few things everyone knows about demons. The pick these things up from books. Most of these things aren't true, of course. The biggest one is that demons are from Hell. Nope.

Weird, right? Where else would demons come from? Well, the answer to that is twofold. Number one, there is no hell. At least, none that I've come across, and I've been in this game for a while. Number two, there is somewhere else for them to come from. In fact, you'd be surprised to learn, we make demons. Every day, on your way to work and someone cuts you off, whenever you get in an argument with your husband, whenever the thick emotions overcome you, a corresponding demon is born in astral space. Normally, they get overwhelmed shortly by the vastness of this space and die, just like the emotion subsides. Sometimes, though, the feeling lingers. Inconveniences turn to grudges, and these ephemeral motes become full-fledged motherfucking demons.

It's best to let grudges go, you might guess.

Hollywood has been beating off that dead horse for a long time, now, and about the same amount of shit is shoveled out as good information. No idea why.

Thankfully, there are some gems.

One, the idea that they need a virgin to cross over. Need, no. It does ease the transition, though, No one really knows why, but it's established that, depending on the type of demon, the capacity the virgin fills is different, but the fact remains that a virgin should be involved in the summoning. A demon of rage probably wants the virgin slaughtered. A demon of lust, ****. You see where I'm going with this. Now, they can technically be brought over without, but in my years of doing this, there has not been a single summoning, or crossing over of any kind, with any amount of success (loosely using the term) without one.

You may notice my lack of superlatives. With demons, and monsters in any regard, there are few hard and fast rules. Every situation is different.

Two, they're hard to kill. There's no equivocation here, this one is true. Before they cross, they're impossible to kill conventionally, but it's alright because they can't really do much, and after, your chances aren't much better. Once they cross over, however they do it, they can usually be killed conventionally, but it's sketchy. Obviously, it's best to keep them from crossing however you can.

I keep them from crossing over. My name is Ben Eide, and I'm a monster hunter. I make sure there are no virgins to be found. I think you can probably put together what I mean by that. Don't get me wrong, I don't (necessarily) run around fucking everything that hasn't been fucked before, that would be insane and unnecessary. However, if I see cultists hovering some girl, I'll see what I can do. If I happen to run into a room and a summoning's taking place... Well, you get the picture. It's much more practical than arming up to take on a fucking demon, you see. Condoms are cheaper than bullets.
