Race: Imp
Over-race: Demon
Classification: Living Soul
Family: The Infantry
Sphere: Darkness
Origin: Deserel created imps from the fabric of the Hells.
Lifespan: Immortal
Habitat: The Hells, The Catacombs, Ansulym, unholy places
Food: Meat or souls
Description: Imps appear to be short, fat beast with pale beige skin & pointedears & head. They have tiny black bat wings on their backs.
Procreation: Imps procreate with imps, like any decent species. When an imp procreates with another demon, the result is usually some sort of imp that takes on aspects of the other demon (though this is incredibly rare, as who would want to fuck an imp?). When imps procreate with mortals, also a rare occurence, generally the offspring dies at birth, killing the mother, & resembles nothing more than a lump of burning flesh.
Magic: 1/200000 have soul magic, generally weak. 1/1000000 have heart magic, also very weak. Mind and body magic are possible but very rarely learned. They can have faith, always black, almost always darkness (or spider), & never more than 6 or 7 at most. They can use void normally.
Special Powers: Imps have the ability to make their immediate surroundings go dark about 7 times per day. They have small bat wings which allow them to fly short distances with ease. If they kill someone within their dark aura, they can devour the soul of the victim. If the imp can devour 1000 pure souls, the imp will become a gremlin. Demons of greater fiend rank or above can control imps. To bond with or summon an imp, the difficulty with dark magic or faith is 7. To destroy an imp with light faith is a difficulty of 4. Like most demons, imps are impervious to mundane fires.

Culture: Imps live to gain power. They will do anything for a pure soul. Unless controlled by a more powerful demon or mortal mage or priest, an imp will simply go about causing mischief & seeking souls or mates. All any imp truly wants is to become a gremlin. While gremlins cannot control imps, most imps will do what a gremlin says (out of fear).
Notables: There are no notable imps.
