Well, while I'm not going to say no, it would be tougher for me to approve a demon. Everyone seems to have a slightly different definition of demon, which partially why I don't want to actually say "No, no demons". Religion and magic is fun, but there are plenty of RPs where that's a focus, and while that can be an element in this, there are other elements that I would prefer.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>A priestess and a demon in the same party will put religion front-and-center, alright. :P<br/><br/>This does raise an interesting question - do demons exist? Does a hell exist?<br/>Most real-world polytheistic faiths (Greek, Roman, Norse) lack the concept of a Christian hell where sinners burn in fire forever; if there is an afterlife, it's tailored to the god(s) that took an interest in you (e.g. Valhalla and Folkvangr); if you are punished, it's because you specifically pissed off a divinity. There are evil spirits, but they're not tied to an afterlife generally, and frankly a lot of the gods are just huge dicks anyway so having an army of evil spirits lurking around is sorta redundant ("Why does it get cold in winter?" "Because Hades is a rapist.").
