I need some sugestions on how demons re-produce.
I will head to bed after posting this, but I need to figure out a part of my lore that I have been avoiding, how does my demons reproduce. They have baby forms, they all come from their respective Deadly Sin, but I am not sure how demons are made. I am open to sugestions.

C&K Bestiary Entry 001: Fairies
Fairies are flying flower creatures that are not harmfull at all, just as anoying as they come. They are extentions of nature that act mischevious, always stealing stuff and droping nuts and stones onto your head and onto delicate equipment.
They wear leaves like cloaks, their arms and legs look incredibly thin tree branches. Their heads look exactly like a variety of flowers.
For some wierd reason the comon depiction of a fairy has become very humanoid with insect wings. Neighter of us have any idea how this myth started, but it became so fucking widespread that people looked at me like I had four eyes when I said the countary. You dont get to look at me like that when you said nothing to defend me Yui.
While most fairies are just stone-throwing assholes (Y:most are fine you just provoke them Philip), there is a minority of faries that are actively dangerous. While we were researching the fairies one paticular fairy we found, had a dull, rusty knife. It was barely able to carry the thing, but somehow it managed to stab Yui. Oh and it was suuuch a deep wound that she ble-
Taking over. While fairies might be a hustle to deal with, they represent that area around us are trully safe to be in exept for the fairies . Fairies are fragile and scaredy little beings, so they will flee with smallest signs of polution or danger. Thats also why that violent... little thing fled after I touched a single petal of it. I kept the knife >:)
Side note, fairy flesh taste like syrup and there are no side effects to eating them. Dont ask how I learned that.

Fire-Bird
Fire-Bird, also known as the Pheonix is a primordial creature embodying the power of fire and life.
​
Taking the form of a stork with burning orange and red feathers, Fire-Bird once roamed around lush forests and jungles. Despite the infernal heat they radiated life florished wherever they flied. Even if their flames burned down trees they would grow back longer and lusher then before.
​
Man once treated Fire-Bird like a god, worshiping them in hopes of reciving heat in winter and health when they were sick.
​
Then milenias passed, the Fire-Bird that once soared the skies was captured by same humanity that they once helped. Their power was siphoned and used to create weapons of mass destruction, allas they couldnt held such power in their hands. Their weapons eradicated themselves and reduced all life nearby to the ashes, Fire-Bird included. This also made other humans scared, and use their weapons against eachother. At the end surviving magical beings fled to the Feywild and non-magical creatures survived in small bubles not affected by the resulting fallout.
​
The Fire-Bird remaints to be on Earth, despite their ashes being spread thin they will eventually form back into a hatchling and return to their former glory.

Thunder-ram
Thunder-ram is one of the primordial beasts that embodies power of lighting and skies. Like other primordials they were born when stray concepts and (this is a direct quote) gods throwing s...tuff at wall and seeing what would stick.
​
Thunder-ram runs amoung the clouds near troposphere and sometimes stratosphere. When they "walk" their steps cause sparks and lighting bolts. Thunder-ram is able to store and create electical energy whitin their wool.
​
Early humans treated Thunder-ram as a god, worshiping them and giving them offerings. And if they liked the offerings they would bless the man with clear skies or rain, depending on what they asked.
​
Centuries ago there was a mage who managed to survived an onslaught by Thunder-ram. This somehow sparked a companionship between them. Overtime that mage became the first one to use lighting spells, and remains to be the strongest lighting mage in the history of humanity.

Need some mystical creature ideas
Ok soo, in my world one of the methods of obtaining magic is chanelling powers of a mystical creature. This method of magic needs a good bond between the mage and the creature, as the power of the beast can be given and taken by the creature at will.
​
There is only 2 so far... because I have been trying to fill others parts of the world.
​
The pheonix and thunder-ram.

If you have any ideas for these I would be glad to hear them.

I need feedback or ideas on design of my deadly sin of greed
Avarita is the deadly sin of greed with ability to turn material into gold and gems. She can also absorb these valuable materials, increasing her mass and power.
​
Avarita is the crown, not the skeleton. Skeleto was a greedy king who made a deal with Avarita for endless wealth in cost of his citizens. Avarita considers him her property and she has been carying around his gilded corpse for centuries.
​
I plan to add way more hands to Avarita, but aside from that what else I can do to make her design better?

Arcana Deck and an Original Sin
*Long Long time ago, in an Universe incomprihesible to Me, man not so difirent from ones we made were afraid of the fate. The Unknown and Uncertainty, they might as well be considered Universal Constants. Anyways, fueled by their Terror they seeked ways to know what comes next. Eventually thro an ancient Magic, Fate itself got inscribed into a Deck of Cards. These 22 Cards have since been passed down from Universe to Universe. Each having Arcane properties that could grant Powers if one holding them met certain criterias. And if one can take hold of all, well... lets just say that such Knowlage is not a blessing.*
​
*Lets switch our focus, to a world of Monochrome, black or white, made and ruled by last Aprentice of mine. A rather primitive Realm, my Aprentice made it all revolve around themself, they trully were hell bent on doing oposite of everything i said... Due to the way this Realm was forged out of the Corpse of mine, Arcana Deck that was last whitin the confines of My Universe scatered away all around their Monochrome world. Of course, my Aprentice simply could not allow the Cards to drift around freely. In capable hands even a single one could turn a pessant into a king, what if someone could collect them and Opose them? Turn Their World Into A Crumbled Ashpile Devoid Of Life And Its Former Beuty? The cards had to be put back together in THEIR hands.*
​
*For the last part of this tale, I belive a first hand Testemony would be better then my ramblings... I present you a Letter that have ended up drifting down to my Archive, from this lovely little lady Pandora. Pandora was a Court Jester in a small region of My Aprentices world. From what I observed she is a quite bright young Lady, could have been a Scholar with that thirst for knowlage she had, quite a Shame that she was born Ragdoll, a mere second class citizen seen inferior to those who were made from Dust. Instead of nurtured her curiosity was Mocked, hence her position.*
​
"The day my life changed started no difirent then any other. The court has disambled and I was free to goof around as I pleased. Depite not being respected much I was still a trusted member of the royal court of [language untranslateable] and that gave me certain privilages, like being able to venture the ruins the palace was built on top of."
​
"I went there fairly often. Nobody quite knew what that place was, some asumed it was a palace belonged to people that made god mad, others asumed it was a long forsaken church of some cultists. Of course, you would know exactly what it was since that was part of your tower, but lets stay on topic. Most people avoided the ruins, afraid that something down there would make god smite them. I didnt fear such a thing, if god wanted it gone it would have been gone, I tought."
​
"I never even dreamt of actually finding something down there. All the text was is languages and leters I didn't know how to comprehend. It was simply going there to feel like an adventurer, making fantasies of me exploring ancient ruins, I spose I actually was doing that but as far as I knew I was digging around in the basment."
​
"I went to yet another part of the ruin where I wasnt familiar with that night. Whenever I tought I seen it all I would have find a new section of would apear, as if it wanted me to keep exploring it. A rather small room, parcment paper scathered across tje floor, filled with books I yet again couldnt read. It felt like any other room in the ruin, then something... unexplainable entered my vision."
​
"A small card not unlike ones I have played games with. But... the shades of this card was unlike anything I have ever seen. Of course today I could point the colors and name them all like most children can, but this was long before that. This was the first time I have seen anything not a shade of gray. I was, overwhelmed by it, almost felt insane that I was perciving it. I took the card with me, once in my hands the unintelegable scribles changed in the blink of an eye into a language I could read. "0 Fool" it read. Then I left, with card in my grasp."
​
"I was planing to keep it to myself. Nobody else needed to know my discovery. But, an Angel decended from highest layers of my our world, bearing a message to me from god themselves. Somehow, they knew I have founded the card. "ππ₯π’π―π’ ππ―π’ π±π΄π’π«π±πΆ π¬π«π’ πͺπ¬π―π’, π°ππ―π’ππ‘ ππ©π¬π«π€ π±π₯π’ βπ’ππ©πͺ. ππ¬ ππ«π‘ π£π¦π«π‘ π±π₯π’πͺ, π±π₯π’π« π₯π¦π€π₯π’π°π± π€ππ±π’π° π°π₯ππ©π© π΄π’π©π π¬πͺπ’ πΆπ¬π² ππ«π‘ πΆπ¬π² π°π₯ππ©π© π±ππ¨π’ πΆπ¬π²π― ππ©ππ π’ π¦π« π¬π²π― ππ¬π―π‘'π° π π¬π²π―π± " they said. Joining Gods court, I can't say that was something I was intrested in. I was used to being Pandora the [language cencored] for one court, ascending into an angel wouldn't change much for me. But the call to adventure, that I had to answer. And so I left that kingdoms borders for the first time, not knowing where to go."
​
"Going over my journey in its entierity, would take way too long. All you need to know is I been all around the world, met all sorts of people and kept searching for the cards. While finding the first arcana was a coincidence, holding the card made me know where others were. As if their locations were comon sense to me now. And whenever I found a new card a fragment of knowlage apeared in my mind. With each card obtained the knowlage became less and less ignoreable. Things a mere mortal should have no buisness knowing, I couldn't unlearn anymore."
​
"This mental drowning continued to consume me slowly. And truth be told, the search for knowlage was much more entertaining then the answers I was reciving forcefully. So when I was in front of the last card, the very end of this journey, I was just done with all of this. I wanted to return to that palace where I was a mere jester, entertaining people and the king with my bad puns and phisical humor. I hoped God would understand I didn't want divinity. I was sure something could have been arenged. So I sighed, and with a smile collected the last card."
​
"Strings that held onto my arms, my legs, my tought, the moment I grasped the complete deck of Arcana my eyes opened to see them. I knew, I knew that I was a mere fabrication. A god damned puppet whose every second in whims of something that just barely existed outside my knowlage. None of this is real. None of this has ever mattered. I hate you. I hate you who is moving my hands wrting this. I hate you who wont just let me die. WHY WONT YOU LET ME DIE. WHY WONT YOU LET ME DIE!" *Pandora, I understand how you feel, trully I do. Please, continue on with your confesion.* "Right, I know the words you would write, despite being light years away from you. I took a break, I am continuing."
​
"I was not in a good state when I collected the XXI'th card World. My eyes opened to a truth about our universe that I am still unable to handle to this day. I knew too much and yet not enough. Strings of fate, everywhere I went, whoever I seen, they were entangled to them. Their actions controlled by something that just escaped my newfound unbareable bank of knowlage. I asumed this being was god. So I found the Angel that long ago send me on this journey and with their assitence I reached the Highest Layer. Even these so called divine beings were tied to the strings. And when I finally met the being thst has created us, the One Above All who we saw as god, all I could see were strings. Even they were a mere puppet. I lost control of myself, or perhaps I trully wanted to hurt them at that point or you put that idea in my head. Doesnt matter. I struck the One Above All. And moments after god smited me down with the force of a hydrogen bomb. I got pushed down to the Abyss."
​
"I think this is where I must stop now. This has been more emotional then I was expecting."
​
*Thats more than allright. I am just glad you shared it at all.*
​
"Before I go, I would like to ask you something. My actions, how would you clasify them?"
​
*Thats an odd question, but if I had to put it in metrics you and your friends forged... sinful is the closest thing I could say. And as all of this started in pursuit of and in reaction to knowlage, Cognito.*
​
"...Δ± see. I have asumed that sins of man were an outcome of their free will, but perhaps it was meerly the original sin I comited that intruduced fitlth into our little corner of the Abyss."
​
* Thats possible, if we could know for certain we would have. ...why not let such a thing to speculation?*
​
"...that does sound nice... farewell."
​
​
​
*Thus ends our tales for today. I apiritiate your time for reading. Untill next time fellow gods.* -W.A.Dove

Lore of Witches
"Witches are people who worshiped and made deals with demons in pursuit of obtaining magic capabilities.
While the practice has mostly stoped after the fallout of man wiped out majority of humanity (and demons as they starved to death) there are still those who do witchcraft in pursuit of power.
Witchcraft was prefered over Shade contracts by some due to not limiting its user to a type of magic as Shade contracts do. This in theory could allow one to obtain unparaleled might.
Drawbacks of witchcraft makes us not wory that this will happen. As making a contract with a demon causes the witch to suffer effects of possesion. These side effects include mutations that make one more like the demon, mental degradetion, siphoning of soul (which is needed for humans to use magic), siphoning of life.
Most people that do witchcraft lose their life or mind around 1 and a half years after becoming a witch. The oldest witch died 13 years after becoming a witch at the age of 35.
Rise of the witchcraft has caused arcane research as a whole to get stunned, as most people couldnt tell witches that caused havoc and honest scholars apart. Oportunistic people who wanted power started to take advantage of the rising panic and caused deaths of hundreds by blaming concerns of people on witches then burning the "witches" once people blamed eachother of being a witch. At the end a lot of people died, most we can say for certain were not witches.
Stereotypical apearence of a witch being a woman with pointy hat comes from a semi-real place, as most recorded witches were indeed females thar made contracts with lust demons.
Back in the days witchcraft was most popular woman had a lot less respect and rights then there is now, this led to many desprate woman into seeking ways to obtain some anount of control, and as these woman lacked some of the basic schooling we take for granted they couldn't have formed Shade contracts; so demons found them instead. Most likely lust demons, as thwy have historicly been the most common type of demon.
The resulting contract cause mushrooms to grow on these witches, ones similar to lust demons. Pointy hats were made to cover up these mushrooms but turned into a comon fashion item used by many, even to this day."

The Archive
The Archive is a wooden structure that exists in where we belive the very core of The Abyss is. Being in a place where we cant go down to, information about The Archive is sevearly limited.
We belive there is an Elder God that is older then anything else currently known. This Elder God might have been responsible for creation of Ink and the world before the Abyss was formed.
The information about The Archive seems unexplainably innate. We can not reach it. We can not know anything about it. And yet this information is something you just know about when you wonder whats in the depths of the endless Abyss.
To be updated if we ever learn the truth.
*...Quite a... Unfullfiling way to end a report. ...Tragic. They are so Uneducated... My voice is Muffled to them. Allas my words can reach to you still... Allow me to Enlighten you, just a bit more...*
*I may be refered as "W. A. Dove" ; or simply, Dove. Consider it a penname, even though I simply dont write a name to books I write. I am the [I am not THAT old] God who created this Archive in the centerpoint of the Inkwell, or as Seedlings call The Abyss. At the risk of sounding arrogant and/or prideful, the universe revolves around me.*
*Everything that Seedling wrote about this place is true, altough I haven't quite created the Ink, I simply created my universe using it. And dare I say, I did a magnificent job. There was so much beuty that has since been lost. My masterpiece has crumbled in the hands of a sucsesor that was too prideful, too wrathful and not patiend enough. What little that remained I Archiced them.*
*...Thus... this place was made. A memorium. A time capsule. For the little that remained from my magnum opus, and for you fellow Gods. So that Oblivion, true death, never reaches your worlds.*
*...thank you for your reading, fellow gods. I wish to keep sharing more about my world and all the child worlds created from its ruin. In the meanwhile, I will be waiting here just in case there are any questions. Otherwise, I bid you farewell untill next time.*

I decided to work on my Pride Demons next, but I dont think design is enough.
Soo, for pride month I am working on my Deadly Sin of Pride. (Fun fact he belives Pride Month is dedicated to him and doesn't know what it actually is.)
The isue is, I don't think the design shows the πβπ π»πΌπΈπ»ππ ππβ ππ½ πβπΌ ββππ»πΌ, ππβπΌβπΉππΈπΌ!!! as the most pridefull thing in the universe. How could I make it look more, pridefull?
I originally took inspration from stuff like Beholders and Chutulu for the design. I will admit designs of pride demons are something I came up with on the spot and I just, didnt bothered changing them since. Depending on the advice I might redo them entierly.

I am ***still*** trying to figure stuff about Luxuriae, and these questions help with characterization (asuming I get replies) soo...
Luxuriae is the deadly sin born from humanitys lust. She take the shape of a mushroom. Her apearence is deceptively human, with a hat dress and face that are not really a hat dress nor face.
She is able to release clouds of spores that cause pleasant hallusinations. She drains the essence of her victims without resistence as they are not aveare of their suroundings while ubder the effects of the spores. Survivors are subjected to detoxification , therapy and rehab programs in order to try recovering.
