Editing Demon (section)

==In the [[World of Darkness]]==
''Demon'' is the name carried by two RPGs by [[White Wolf]]: one in the Classic [[World of Darkness]] and one in the [[World_of_Darkness#New_World_of_Darkness/Chronicles_of_Darkness_(nWoD/CoD)|Chronicles of Darkness]] (or the Old and the New World of Darkness):
*[[Demon: The Fallen]] is a game of angels and demons, of redemption and debasement. Players take on the roles of the Fallen, demons recently escaped from the Abyss (Hell) and finding a world where God and His angels are absent. It is up to the demons what to do with this world and if they seek redemption or revenge on an absent God, as well as deal with the Earthbound, demons that were summoned to Earth centuries or millenia before they did and have turned to inhuman monsters.
*[[Demon: The Descent]] is a game of techgnostic espionage, kinda like The Matrix meets Dogma. Players take on the roles of the Unchained, former angels employed by the God-Machine that keeps the world running (for better or worse) which gained sentience and broke free of the God-Machine's control. These demons are required to take the identities of people to avoid detection by the God-Machine and its agents. With these new forms they seek to either create their own Hell on Earth (the old-fashioned meaning, as in a place devoid of God) or return to the God-Machine on their own terms. Intensely interwoven with the God-Machine Chronicles meta setting.

There are also many creatures called demons in a variety of game lines, including the stand-alone book Inferno for the core Chronicles of Darkness game.
