Demon

Demons such as Ellechim Epia are a sentient species which have populated the world of Hell. They have different attributes depending upon their caste, which is chosen for them, not genetically determined.
Homeworld
Hell
- Main article: Hell (Ellechim)
The world of Hell from which Ellechim Epia originates is a dimensional anomaly which is inhabited by several varying breeds of demons. It is not a planet, in the traditional sense, but it has solid ground and a form of atmosphere, making it capable of supporting life.
Characteristics
Personality
Tarja enjoys being unpredictable, especially in council with her fellow monarch demons. It's difficult to pin down her views on important issues, as sometimes she will vote against her apparent beliefs in order to wrong-foot another monarch, or to please her people. She seems to have genuine affection for Mikken but this could be just because he is obedient to her wishes. She rarely seems to sleep, and is always icily awake when needed by her subjects.
Appearance
Tarja is small but lean, with sharp cheekbones and a regrettably pointed chin. She stands at around 5'11”, but has a carrying voice that makes her height in relation to other demons irrelevant. She has very long and slender hands, and bright white, almond-shaped eyes. Her hair is equally white and waist-length, although it is dressed into very elaborate styles by a team of servants every morning. She wears robes of silver and blue which conceal almost all of her shining skin.
History
Tarja's childhood passed much the same as any other heir demon, locked away in a small apartment and taught by a series of tutors about the practicalities of government. She proved to have an inquisitive and innovative mind, coming up with questions that had never been asked before.
She took up her current position a few months after Ellechim's birth. The previous Queen had been a drunkard, and had completely ruined the reputation of the Seventh Circle. The inhabitants were lazy, complacent and getting fat. Tarja started out her reign by sending the laziest, fattest Shadows into a neighbouring dimension plagued by political troubles. The ones which had really let themselves go never came back.
She accepted Mikken as her second-in-command, as it had been he who had performed the assassination of the former Queen. Even though this won him favour, she still made him swear an oath of loyalty in very binding terms, and he agreed willingly.
Mikken
- Main article: Mikken
Mikken is the Chief Diplomat of the demonic Shadows, subordinate only to Queen Tarja. He is the best assassin in the realm, and has taken a personal interest in the tutelage of Ellechim Epia since she was a child. He is the only person, aside from Tarja, who can order Ellechim about with any visible results.
