[With his first week of school in Luceti over, Kurt has taken advantage of the day off to make something a little special. A pizza, in fact.

...did you see that fire demon, too?

[Voice] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:08:29 UTC

... fire demon? What fire demon?

[Voice] esper_flight September 17 2010, 19:11:59 UTC

The one that took shelter in my place, from the rain. He said his name was Calcifer and that he was a fire demon...and he looked it, too. But he was pretty polite and didn't burn anything, so I let him stay for a while.

[Voice] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:14:22 UTC

... a polite demon, then. Well, if he wasn't causing trouble, I guess that's good. [Well, he already knew Terra was okay with how he looked, so this wasn't a big surprise.]

[Ooooh, this question hits close to home.]

Depends what kind of demon we're talking about, really. Considering demons from some worlds are completely different from those in others.

[Voice] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:09:12 UTC

Well, I really don't know. I'm not much of an expert. Not the human-looking kind, anyway.

[Voice] vulcanblazer September 17 2010, 19:24:25 UTC

Again, how "not human" are we talking?

And it's not just a matter of look, it's also a matter of how they act, too. There are some pretty peaceful monstrous looking demons, and there are demons that look harmless but will kill you without a second thought.

Enough that they can't walk into a busy street without people freaking out. [So... not like Etna.]

[-hey, that's a voice I know. Gonna respond to this one...]

Somethin' that's hurting people an' Pokemon. I'd fight it.

[...yup.]

onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:10:13 UTC

[... ouch, Sapphire.]

What if they aren't attacking anyone?

wildconqueror September 17 2010, 19:39:32 UTC

Then it ain't a "demon"!...unless they're plannin' ta, but that's the sorta thing you'd have ta wait an' see for.

onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:41:10 UTC

So, basically they're only a demon if they're doing something wrong.

I've seen so many variations of what people consider a 'demon' at this point, that I don't have a set image. If they aren't attacking me or anyone else, I wouldn't do anything.

[So writes the woman who lived with dragons and talking bombs and who knows what else....]

[Written] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:21:38 UTC

Yeah? Well, that's good. In my world, anything that looks strange or unusual is feared and people will run away. Or sometimes, even attack.

[Written] eidolon_soul September 17 2010, 19:25:52 UTC

That can happen in my world, too, but I spent most of my life with Eidolons and they take all sorts of different shapes. I guess I'm too used to that for appearances of a different sort to bother me in any way.

[Written] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:28:10 UTC

I see. I guess you are lucky, that way. I've not met many people like that.

Demon is what people use to refer to those beings that are basically an embodiment of every evil and negative emotion, thought or act in the world. A demon doesn't have a specific form, it can be an animal or a person. Even if it's an entity of primary evil it doesn't have to look evil, in fact it probably looks the opposite in order to lure and trap good people.

That's the theory, at least. In reality in a place like this, "demon" is nothing but another race basically. Being evil or not doesn't matter here for that.

[Voice] onebluebamf September 17 2010, 19:38:27 UTC

[Eheh, that first part leaves him a little unnerved. Even so...]

In my world, demons are said to be the angels who aspired to be greater than God, and so they turned away from Him, becoming wicked and evil instead. What most people believe them to look like is... fairly simple.

[Voice] lukanightfever September 17 2010, 19:44:30 UTC

That theory also exists in my world, however it's nothing but what I said, only with prettier wording. The existence of a God can't be proved in my world, thus the nature of that God can't be proved either, it can just be assumed. Because people turn to the idea of a God in order to find comfort, God is nothing but the embodiment of every good and positive emotion in the world. Eternal bliss, eternal love, eternal happiness, eternal patience, eternal kindness.

However the idea of such a being existing and giving birth to humans leaves to debate why people aren't like that and where does evil and negativity come from. Thus people create the figure of a demon. The idea of them being formerly angels is just to convince themselves that it's natural that good people turn to be bad people, and to support the idea that the origin of everything was God, the pure and good being, instead of the other way around or admitting a balance between both sides.

[A pause.]People tend to be fairly simple when they think about something they want to use ( ... )

[He really... has no interest in making this a religious discussion. Especially since it's very clear what she believes is far, far different than him. Ultimately, he decides to withdraw. Arguing religion with a person from another world is a lost cause. After all, in her universe, God might not exist at all.]

I see.
