  • Reading: Ender's Game
  • Watching: I *wish* Aladdin. T.T Can't find it.
  • Eating: T.T *stomach growls*
  • Drinking: Sunkist! (what else? XD)
Finally got some more AnimeSouth photos up, they're about 40% done now. ~Group-Photos

And I decided to put up a little bit more information about the High Council, since now I'm only one demon shy of having the full set. I dunno if this will spoil anything in the story in the long run, but I doubt it. Tell me what you guys think!

*~+~*
The High Council holds rule directly under the Demon Lord himself. Any “trivial” matters that the Lord should not have to deal with, the Council takes care of; politics, complaints, etc. The Lord also looks to the Council (and especially the Leader) for advice and guidance.

The Leader of the Council can be any type of demon, and solely comprises of the First Tier of the Council. He has final say. The Second Tier is the four Elementals; Fire, Air, Water, Earth. The Third Tier is four different Animals (not always the same four), and the final Tier is the remaining four demons on the council, whose types vary greatly over the years.

The current Council is thus:
First Tier:
#1: Sahel. Male. Race: devil (lower level demons who specialize in spells and secrecy and are often seen as treacherous and untrustworthy)
Second Tier:
#2: Biren (pronounced BEE-ren). Male. Earth.
#3: Zanel. Male. Air.
#4: Kirai. Female. Fire.
#5: Darell. Male. Water.
Third Tier:
#6: Asker. Male. Fox.
#7: Forynth. Male. Dog.
#8: Ssynsa. Female. Snake.
#9: Milo. Male. Cat.
Fourth Tier:
#10: Alasvynon "Vyn". Female. Vampire.
#11: Vera. Female. Illusionist.
#12: ???
#13: Ezekiel "Zeke". Male. Fallen Angel.

The "Tiers" of the Council have a lot to do with what could almost be called a caste system among the demons. Elemental demons comprise of about 40% of the demon population. They are seen as "elite", because there are so many of them who have managed to remain pureblooded, and there are only four different elements. Right under them, however, are the Animals, of which there are many different kinds, and they make up about 35%. The most common "crossbreeds" (for lack of a better term) are between the Animals and Elementals, creating sub-breeds like a Fire-Cat or a Wind-Bird (which sounds redundant to us, but it's not to them.)

Below the Animals are the "common" demons, and even among them there is separation. (No one ever said the demons had equal rights. XD) The upper common demons consist of things like an Illusionist or a War demon, as well as vampires. They are not treated too badly at all except by elitists.

The lower common demons are only the ones that are seen as completely inferior; lust demons, devils, and fallen angels for instance. There aren't very many that are considered "lower commons," and the ones that are, are generally treated badly by even the other commons.
Devils are seen as conniving and untrustworthy; lust demons are seen as nothing more than whores who use sex to get their way; fallen angels are, despite being banned from heaven, still considered angels by the demons.
*~+~*

Ok, this is getting pretty long, so I'll cut it off here. Just let me know if you guys want to hear more. ^.~

"Trivial" matters huh... so i suppose the Demon Lord is with concubines and wine all day <.<

I was thinking a Human may be able to be there...
Afterall, I'm sure there's bound to be humans who are allied with these demons, who help them, and even protect them from the rest of humanity. (As a story I once planned out, in which a few select humans where granted inmortality for helping out the mythical beings, and their job was to protect the secrets that could lead other humans to them)

So... maybe?

no, he doesn't just sit around all day. He has stuff he does too. Like fight training. And dealing with important matters, instead of demons complaining about their neighbours eating their pets. And besides, this particular Demon Lord doesn't have concubines, much to the distress of the Council. O.o

As for humans . . . yes, there are humans allied with the demons, but they wouldn't be lucky enough to be represented in the Council. Humans in the Underworld are gophers, just doing errands and mortal-realm-y things for the demons. >.> Humans aren't that special in this story.

Most demon lords (or any lord whatsoever) is having sex 90% of the time, 5% drinking wine, 4% sleeping, 1% doing something else....

o.O then they're not real Demon Lords. I'd imagine demon lords as having to be tough and smart, otherwise they'd lose their job (and their head.) Unlike humans, demons have no problem with bloody revolutions, as they happen quite often.

Then your kind of Demon Lords should be in rule instead of Mr. Bush there...

O.o Maybe the Demon Lord that's on the throne *now*, seeing as he's generally benevolent. But you'd really want the lord of all hell ruling the (unfortunately) most powerful country in the world? o.O

Better than Bush, that's for sure. If my dream comes to pass, and it happens as it did that night, I'll be a MUCH better president than him. (I became president of the US in that dream).

Besides, what demon could be so powerful and scary to topple ME over? o_O (reference to my past)
