Demons
Demons are creatures of Pure Darkness. They are born of darkness and the pained thoughts of humans. Most are unable to leave that darkness and touch the light this is why during the day they hide. Only the masters, or the strongest of the demons, are able to last in the sunlight for a full day with merely minor burns to deal with.
Most Demons that cannot bear to feel the sun's rays hide inside of a human vessel making that person do it's will during the hours of the day, but the demon is weakened considerably while controlling the vessel and for a few hours after removing themselves. Though the demon is able to control the vessel they normally choose not to, so possession normally goes unnoticed by both the vessel and those around it. But they will try everything to keep the vessel from dying. If the vessel dies so does the demon.
Demons are natural shape shifters. They can create any form they choose to create. But there are two forms that they usually prefer to change into. There true form: their most powerful form and the most grotesque; and their human form: the form they wear when they are in the human realm. They may be weakened in this form but this form hides them from the eyes of humans that do not possess the sight. But their human form is the form they use to most.
A demons name is the thing that is most precious to them. They will try everything in their power to keep their name from reaching the human realms because if their name is let out then so is their will power. Anyone who hears the name of a demon is able to take control of that demon whether for good or for bad through a process called summoning.
As summoning became regular for humans to practice the demons became to resent the humans and other creatures that wished to control them. Now, all that they crave is revenge for the pain that has been inflicted upon them.
