Factions in Demon: The Fallen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factions in the role-playing game Demon: The Fallen are fictional groupings of like-minded fallen angels, or demons. Unlike houses, each "demon" chooses their own faction according to their beliefs, which may change over time.

[edit] Cryptics
The Cryptics have used their time in Hell to think. They feel that if God is omniscient, then his creations would be as perfect as reality would allow, and since Lucifer was God's highest angel, then his rebellion was a part of God's plan. They gather knowledge to determine what is really going on and what they should do next. They dislike the Luciferians and the Faustians.
[edit] Faustians
The Faustians lust for revenge against God, who exiled them from heaven. Even without the leadership of Lucifer, they still try to awaken the human race to its true potential, to use them as a potent weapon in the war against heaven. The plots and intentions a Faustian are often as subtle as they are dangerous. They have no patience for the Cryptics, and their goals are directly opposite to those of the Raveners.
[edit] Luciferans
The Luciferans still believe that Lucifer was right to rebel against God. Even though Lucifer cannot be found, they still follow what they feel to be his directives. They dislike the Cryptics and consider the Reconcilers to be traitors.
[edit] Raveners
The nihilistic Raveners look at the broken world and wasted potential of humanity and believe there's only one option left: destroy everything. Some see it as a way to finally lure out God and his Angels, others see it as an act of mercy to a near-dead world... and many just don't care at all. They are enemies with all the other factions of demons, though they can tolerate the Cryptics.
[edit] Reconcilers
The Reconcilers have used their time in Hell to reconsider their actions and the punishment that God meted out to them. Now that they are free they wish to do some good, thinking that God might forgive them and allow them to return to Heaven. Even if they can't they might be able to help the humans, even fix things so the humans can have what they can't. They are at good terms with all but the Luciferans and the Raveners.
