Factions in Demon: The Fallen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Factions in the role-playing game Demon: The Fallen are fictional groupings of like-minded fallen angels, or demons. Unlike houses, each "demon" chooses their own faction according to their beliefs, which may change over time.

[edit] Cryptics

The Cryptics, much like the Reconcilers, have used their time in Hell to think. They feel if God is omniscient, then his creations would be as perfect as reality would allow, and since Lucifer was God's highest angel, then his rebellion was a part of God's plan. The cryptics are like a less idealistic version of the Reconcilers. They are enemies with the Luciferians and the Faustians.

[edit] Faustians

The Faustians lust for revenge against God, who exiled them from heaven. Even without the leadership of Lucifer, they still try to awaken the human race to its true potential, to use them as a potent weapon in the war against heaven. The plots and intentions a Faustian are often as subtle as they are dangerous. They have no patience for the Cryptics, and their goals are directly opposite to those of the Raveners.

[edit] Luciferans

The Luciferans still believe that Lucifer was right to rebel against God. Even though Lucifer cannot be found, they still follow what they feel to be his directives. They dislike the Raveners.

[edit] Raveners

The Raveners were driven mad by the War in Heaven, even prior to its end. They feel that since they can't take the prize - the Earth - they might as well demolish it. They are capable of little more than destruction. They are enemies with all the other factions of demons, though they can tolerate the Cryptics.

[edit] Reconcilers

The Reconcilers have used their time in Hell to reconsider their actions and the punishment that God meted out to them. Now that they are free they wish to do some good, thinking that God might forgive them and allow them to return to Heaven. Even if they can't they might be able to help the humans, even fix things so the humans can have what they can't. They are at good terms with all but the Luciferans and the Raveners.
