Light Demons

Overview
Shaimmos is a small planet, and has strong magic and gravity to hold it together- it’s constructed of various pieces and segments of land and water, reaching in towards the hollow and center of the planet where the magic is at its strongest. The further into the planet one goes, the higher the nobility/richer the class, with the holy citadel at the center.

Culture/Government
Theocracy, run by the elected minister chosen by the Prophet (Oracle) of the religion- the current Oracle/Prophet is Ahura. He technically has more power than the Minister himself.

Various gods and deities. No one can enter “heaven” unless proper tribute is made (similar to indulgences from Catholicism), and anyone born into high class can be considered close to the gods and being chosen ones themselves. Trade: exotic feathers, silks, and garments; gems; tropical produce; they also specialize in illustrated manuscripts, utilizing special inks with rare colors that only exist on Shaimmos, illustrated by monks throughout various religious monasteries, though some high class noble families train their heirs to be illustrators as well.
 * Those in the high class must be blessed by the Prophet and the Holy Relic before conceiving children. Those in the high class, being considered close to godliness, cannot conceive children without going through the proper ceremony, or they risk being expunged from the “church” and losing status and wealth.

Clothing: Robes, embroidery, tunics, very elegant.

Military:

Prison Structure: Those deemed "lesser than" or criminals are put into compartments below the citadel, put into "stasis", and are used as batteries to charge the crystals that provide light, transportation, etc to the citadel.

Planet Structure
Climate: Warm and tropical. It never snows. It’s never outright dark, being in such close, near constant orbit to their sun. The closest they have to night time is twilight.

Flora/Fauna:
 * version of a Rhino (glitter horn)
 * version of a hummingbird (feathers are like tiny fractals)
 * Version of a horse?
 * Apex predators:
 * version of a cheetah (spots on fur refract light, blinding prey)
 * Version of a wolf

Demon Biology
Demon biology is very similar in structure to human biology. Light Demons have different bone and muscular structure that makes them much stronger than humans.

Physical Traits:
 * Gold or light colored eyes.
 * Skin tone varies. Can be dark skinned or light skinned, but hair is always a light color, ranging from white to blonde to strawberry blonde. Their hair also has a subtle shimmer (this is partly why Sorella stood out so much).
 * Average height in comparison to the other races or humans.

Deities
The Demon races occasionally produce Deities. Deities are far stronger than the Demons they are born from. They boast control over all elements except their opposite [?] - for Light Deities, this is darkness, which also serves as their weakness. Deities are also known to present with additional abilities such as flight or shape-shifting. [?]

Powers and Abilities
Demons are gifted with a huge host of powers beyond those of humanity. Control over the elements, great physical advantages, and incredible life spans set them apart from many beings. Light Demons have control over their given element, the ability to teleport within and between planes, great strength, speed, agility and other abilities.
 * Demon Physiology: Demons have superior strength, speed, constitution, and agility to most beings.
 * Strength: Demons are capable of bursts of strength sufficient to overturn a car or smash through concrete.
 * Speed: Demons have reflexes far superior to human beings, and their natural physical strength makes them quicker runners as well.
 * Lifespan: Demons live for thousands of years unless they are struck down by violence or illness, both of which they are highly resilient to.
 * Born in Light
 * Elemental Control: Each race of Demon has control over their namesake element. The degree of power and control varies with the individual.
 * Warping: Demons have the unparalleled ability to teleport within and between planes. To get somewhere specific, they must have either been there before or have an understanding of where the location is.
 * Light Skipping- a subskill of teleporting where the user pulls lights around themselves to make a second skin and skip forward at the speed of light. There has never been a documented case of a Light Demon able to both teleport AND light skip; it's usually one or the other.
 * Healing: Healing is a rare gift that presents differently between the races.
 * Lumokinesis:
 * Weapon Summoning: unlike fire demons, light demons cannot summon weapons.
