Demon (DTF)

The Fallen are the angels who chose to side with humanity rather than the Creator when they were faced with the dilemma of having to obey the contradictory orders to both love humanity and not to reveal themselves to it. When Ahrimal, one of the Neberu, saw some sort of disaster looming ahead for their beloved humanity, one-third of the angels sided with Lucifer and tried to prepare humanity for the impending catastrophe by accelerating its development.

For this transgression against the Creator's wishes, the Fallen were cast into the Abyss and lingered there for untold aeons. Then the walls of the Abyss cracked during the Sixth Maelstrom, and the Fallen started escaping back to the material world.

All Fallen need an anchor to the physical world if they wish to remain there. Those who take a soulless human host become the true Fallen, while those who come to reside in inanimate objects become the Earthbound. A human host has the disadvantages of being unable to hold all the Fallen's memories, and only allows a trickle of power compared to what the Fallen used to be able to accomplish. On the upside, however, the lingering memories and values of some hosts can restore the Fallen to sanity after their long imprisonment.
