Ok so this lore heavy shit and I won’t get into it right now but I was in a SOH Verse mood and wanted to create some demonic forms for my human ocs who were augmented by Hellish Technologies that allowed them to be able to transform into entities that mirror their most deadly sin...
A demonic agent is an entity that is developed by the Archdemons of the Empire of Hell during an arms race with Heaven in the late 1980s. Unlike most artificial demons, demonic agents are created from a living human being rather than a dead one. This human is augmented by a magic device called a Vice Grip that is linked to the host by surgically inserting it into brain tissue. Once successfully implemented, the Vice Grip will embed itself into the host’s brain, effectively preventing removal. It will then sit in dormancy until the host allows themselves to embrace their deadly sin.
When this occurs, the Vice Grip will activate, immediately transmute the host, turning them into a demon worthy of protecting their respective Archdemon at any cost. Their powers, appearance, and full purpose vary wildly between Demonic Agents but they were all created with the intent that, should Hell go into war with Heaven, these agents would not only defend their Archdemon with their life but also use their powers to the Archdemons’ advantage in order to get what they want.
Once in the Vice Grip’s control, the humans infected will act according to their deadly sin in question, often losing touch with their humanity in the process. While it is very difficult to revert a Demonic Agent back into their regular human selves, it is possible to do so as a fail safe, should they ever go against the Archdemons’ orders. The most effective way to turn them back is to reach out to their humanity buried deep within their mind...
