Demon (Pathfinder)

When splitting ways, you can't go without the classic grudge match between demons and devils. Given the concept of sinners was absent in the current design space and devils were the spartin lawers, demons got the overindulgence hedonist characteristic of evil which they had from the start but was not overly pronounced in D&D.

History

Like any evil hoard faction origin, at first the abyss was only Pharasma's dumping ground for souls of chaotic evil, with petitioners larvae taking the form of and home to the qlippoth, a evil outsider civilization that predates the creation of mortals and kept thier ancient incomprehensible evils to themselves. Unfortunately, in relatively recent events in planar timescales (millions of years ago at minimum, ignoring possible time-traveling relic shenanigans), a now-forgotten DaemonHorsemen (guess why) decided to see what would happen if they combined sinful mortal souls with the abyssal qlippoth flesh. Apparently, this creation was something the abyss loved. The moment one was succefly made, the abyss immediately copied the blueprints and forced update every Larva petitioner across the Great Beyond into a demon. The spontaneous creation of the most numerous race destroyed the Qlippoth civilization, forcing them to hide deep into the abyss to plot thier mortal and demon genocide scenes and a fleshy tidal wave to crash over Abbadon and hell's walls before dieing down to less obscene numbers.

The demons' Many Forms

Being reincarnated souls of sinners, a sin is any act of cruelty or destruction a mortal overly indulged in at the expense of others; you get a massive variety. Not only is a demon born from a Larva petitioner that survived for long enough, but also, if that demon doesn’t get eaten alive long enough by other demons, most types are able to reproduce, letting a one-off sin become a stable demon strain, give them thier most dangerous ability of fast reproduction.
