Demon

A Demon is an intelligent and evidently malevolent entity of the Aether. Their existence is currently an unproven myth, theorised only by Solomon Masher following the Icecrown Incursion. It is believed that demons cannot exist naturally in the material world, being creatures of the Aether. Only specific circumstances may potentially allow demons to manifest themselves in reality.

Manifestation
Demons are formed by the collective psychic reflection of humanity within the Aether, acting as physical representations of human thoughts. As the Aether is the dark manifestation of humanity's emotional character, demons represent that character given physical form. As such, a demon's appearance and intrinsic character will reflect the nature of whichever emotion, characteristic or idealogy gave it form. This means that the stronger and more prevelant that emotion is in the material world, the stronger the demons that are given form by it will be.

However, given the chaotic and utterly uncontrollable nature of the Aether, it's unknown how these characteristics are anchored into a consistant forms within the Aether for long enough to manifest as an entity. The distribution of psychic energy in the Aether is utterly random and in constant flux, and there is no filter between reality and the Aether that would cause corresponding emotions and thoughts to gravitate into the same to give demons form, unless there were some form of anchor that gave the Aether some kind of order.

The very presence of demons suggests that such an anchor does, indeed, exist. But what exactly it entails is still a mystery. More research is required.

Motivations and Mysteries
The ultimate inentions of demons when they are manifested in the material world are unknown. They seem to be highly malicious, fixed upon nothing save slaughtering any living creature it comes across apart from its own kind. The only way to stop them seems to be to destroy its physical shell of a body.

This leads to the question; is the Aether evil? And if not, why does it want to destroy us? The Aether and its demonic denizens cannot live without the physic offset of humanity and its mental character, so attacking humans actually seems counter-productive to them. Why, then, do they attack on sight?

Additionally, since the Aether represents the physic manifestion of all humanities thoughts and emotions, why are there no 'good' demons? Where are the demons of hope, love and kindness? Do they exist? Or are the negative emotions of humanity simply stronger?

More research is required...
