Vodera

A Demon is a member of the dominant sentient race of the Deveron world system. The name was given to them by themselves using the human languages; their true name has been forgotten to history, but the Thukil clan believe it to be Vorde, or Vordera.

Appearance

General Appearance

Humanoid. The mature Demon stands at an average height of 8 feet tall; the variation being generally between 6'6" to 10+ feet. The skin is a thicker, hide-like substance not dissimilar to that of a reptile's skin. Skin color can vary to most scaly-metallic colors, but is generally a reddish, greenish or bronze-ish color. The skin-color is affected by the radiance of the world the Demon was born in; but other colors can also be found, such as steel-silver or bronze. Demons sport large, leathery wings than have an average span of the Demon's height and half-again. The wings collapse into the back, leaving a somewhat noticeable hump.

Physiology

Demons have an unknown natural lifespan due to the sustaining power of Vorpal. However, life expectancy generally ranges in the 100-200 category due to the culture of the race.

Newborn Stage

A Demon is born after a pregnancy term of approximately 6 months. The child is then carried by the father quite literally under his wing, in that one of the wings is used as a pouch-like carrier wear the child will remain for another 6 or so months, being removed only for nursing from the mother. The parents remain generally secluded during this time, and always together.

Childhood

When the Child's teeth appear and wings begin to grow, it is taken out of the nurturing care of the wing and your classic child-training begins. Solid foods are gradually introduced as well as standing/walking practice, speech, motor skills, etc.

Adolescence

The adolescence stage generally begins around 12 and continues until the parents designate the child an adult. This is generally done through some kind of trial or test (often a period of time spent in Murthul) designated by the parents. However, bodily maturity arrives around 20-25 and is recognized mostly by the fully-developed wings.
