Devil

A Devil is a powerful 5D god-like entity. They have powerful reality bending capabilities, which originate from Axiom. They influenced the timelines to a great extent, adding their own changes. However, due to their lack of ability to influence other devils and their own desires, they often dable in the affairs of "lesser" beings. Despite the somewhat religious and negative conitation of their name, the name of "Devil" is actually a self titled name that they gave themselves.

On Devil Morality
At their core, most devils are pulled by two forces: Their desire for material wealth and their desire for respect. Their material desires are often driven by wanting the "most" of anything. This object of desire is refereed to as their treasure. While it can be something that is material, is is more often than not a concept than any solid desire. It can even be defined as a good desire - for example, Dilemma desired to be the most heroic of Devils. Whatever it is, this desire fundamentally drives their actions. However, they will not just blindly seek them out. While devils do want to fulfill their hoarding tendencies, they are also heavily bound by how much respect they want from other entities. While they do care the most about respect from their peers, they still care vastly for the approval of what are otherwise lesser entities to them.

However, there are two philosophies that each devil seems to have embraced to achieve their goals. In fact, the two groups of Outlaws and Contract Devils shows this ideological divide very well. The Outlaws utilize sheer brute force to obtain respect and power. These guys are on the constant hunt for power and a way of getting a leg up on each other, often constantly competing to be the most menacing figures. Meanwhile, Contractors are the ones who like things such as complex schemes, not overpowering their opponents but rather out resourcing them with titles and gathered wealth.

Ancient Devil History
Although the information is a bit obscure, it has been documented that Devils were formerly 3D beings. The information about their previous state can vary by the source. There are typically two schools of thoughts on the matter. As there is evidence for each side, despite their contradictions both methods of thinking must hold some amount of truth to it.

Some scholars conclude that Devils were a power seeking species that had a culture of pure personal strength and personal survival. Their current state can be traced back to the results of arm races taken to the absolute extreme. Devils forcefully evolved themselves again and again for the sake of strength and survival. It got to a point where any Devil who wasn't super eventually died out, unable to keep up with the strength competition. This best lines up with their current philosophy and there are signs of this mentality present within their

Evidence may also lead people to conclude that Devils were an extremely close knit species with a striking ability to understand each other. Their views on others is said to have had a striking influence on them psychologically, sometimes bending their minds to the whims of other's opinions on them. It is sometimes said that because they were unable/unwilling to kill each other, their arguments and disagreements would escalate much beyond that of mortal entities who could just kill each other.

No matter what theory one belives to be better, there's a vauge understanding on the history of Devils. The process for change for Devils was an extremely gradual process that did not occur in a single generation. Of particular note is the dimensional change from 3D to 5D in order to gain domination over other timelines. However, the dimensional change dwarfs in comparison to perhaps the most drastic change to Devils: The change from souls to sparks.

Some time along the line, Devils discovered how to access and tap into axiom pools. They figured that if they could change their souls to sparks - the axiom equivalent of souls - they would have access to much greater power. Although they could tap into the power of multiple pools, only one single pool was accessible and safe enough to consider linking themselves to. Thus, they started to experiment with both their own souls and the souls of other entities. The results of these experiments are often considered the prototype to modern Demons, though there have been attempts to find a different term for them. Most researchers would agree that referring to them as demon prototypes is oversimplifying things. The term "Protodevil" has started to gain usage.

An unknown amount of devils who never managed to gain this technology died during the transition period, resulted in only the super-powered ones being the survivors. When it was all done, Devils were left in their current state and fell into stagnancy. The cost to kill each other had became so much so that no other entities could do the dirty work. Devils would sometimes come within conflict, but such conflicts would quickly dissipate as the opponents got bored. Attempts to find ways to kill their bretheran failed over and over again. This allowed them to start work on other things, such as creating some semblance of a society and various new inventions.

Peace was finally within sight for this society of violent creatures. But as historians know, this was merely the calm within the storm.

The Devil War
The Devil War ended approximately 500 000 years ago - and that's the most anyone has on the war, as when exactly it first started to occur is unclear due to the destruction of many records at the time. The war was extremely destructive and damaged several parts of the multiverse, causing the lost of many species. It's theorized that part of why timelines are often biased towards the weight of a single species in different areas of the multiverses is due to this destruction, allowing the multiverse to be repopulated by the survivors who had a head start.

It's not for sure clear what was the cause of the war, as information surronding the events are highly unclear. But the result was the creation of the contract and The Judge.

Chocolate
Chocolate is responsible for the creation of a powerful chocolate-like 5D metal. They also participate in the Games, and sponsored Andromeda. Connection to the Beast Monarchy, the most notable users of Chocolate metal, currently unknown.

Oblivion
Oblivion was an outlaw Devil with the ability to control people via the usage of red flowers. They were killed by Arcturus after they attempted to kill him with their controlled pawns during the games. Then they were revealed to survive, but were then murdered by Scale.

The Fool
Formerly known as Strange. Responsible for the games, The Fool was the leader of one opposing end of the Devil Wars. Despite his foolish jester-like appearance, he is extremely powerful. Is on one side of a cold war with The Judge and contract Devils, and it is widely known that any incident might cause a resumption of hostilities. All law abiding Devils fear the day when the Games are no longer fun for him. His treasure is fun.

Destiny
An outlaw devil that is known for being rather difficult to work with. Known for giving "prophecies" of questionable accuracy.

Noble
Noble is a rather popular Outlaw Devil, known for having some strong pawns under her name. Perhaps the highest power under the Outlaws under only the Fool himself, her influence is great. Motives unknown. Current treasure appears to be renown, both in her powerful personal state and her crowd favorite, extremely powerful pawns.

The Judge
The Judge is an artificial devil, created by the contracts signed at the end of the war. Each contract devil donated part of their power in order to create him. As his name suggests, he serves as a judge of sorts for the devils. He enforces law. The purpose of his creation was to prevent events such as the Great Devil War from ever happening again.

Notably, he lacks true free will due to his state of being formed by contract; although he has great freedom in choosing how to accomplish his prime directives, he must follow them to the greatest efficiency. His goals are to prevent further wars, deaths and arms races, with enforcement of the law more a tool then a goal in itself. This means that, paradoxically, he has a quite unpredictable and chaotic nature and cares little for the laws he enforces.

The purpose in deriving him of free will is simple: this means he cannot have a treasure for himself, and must act in accordance with preventing conflict instead of any ulterior motive. The Judge, incapable of wanting things for himself, is therefore supposedly immune to corruption or abuse of power- though this is questionable given the lengths and methods used to accomplish his goals.

Dilemma
Main Page: Dilemma

Dilemma was a contract Devil had free reign over the Dilemma machine, as it was essentially his 3D form. He had the ability to reveal information through dreams, detailing his past to the entirety of TTN. Dilemma originally had the appearance of an angelic glowing gold human, with the looks of a young attractive man. As he granted more contracts, however, his appearance warped to the point of complete irreconcilability. He eventually became a floating mass in 5D sharpspace, wearing an evil grin, a mask that looked like a power outlet, gross purple flesh, tubes and wires all over his body, and the inability to properly talk. It is said that he looked so horrible that the mind of anyone who saw him would automatically purge the information learned by looking at him. Dilemma was generally quite helpful to the people of TTN.

He had the ability to grant wishes with his contracts, those these wishes always came with a cost. The granted had to pick from two downsides. An example of a wish from him is allowing someone to time travel with the perfect vessel, but at the downside of the person either being alone forever or becoming stranded in a horribly messed up timeline that is inescapable.

Eventually, Mr. Real would start to undo his contracts, gradually returning his form closer to its original. He was eventually found dead by Alex and Mezira floating in space, in his original form with a happy smile on his face. It is believed that he died protecting Squirt. The prime suspect for his death was Father, though it is unclear if they were responsible.

His treasure appears to be helping others, though recent developments have cast doubt on his true motives- especially the creation of Squirt, a powerful being who might open the next wave of evolution.

Congress
Congress is known for assisting The Judge with the creation of the laws and covering any legal loopholes. He is rather young, at least when the average age of a Devil is considered. It was eventually revealed that the Judge created him as a counter to himself and a reminder of how dangerous The Fool is.

He appears as a four faced dark gray cube, with four heads on each end. He has four personalities, and rotates the appropriate face to whoever he is talking to.

Insomnia
Not much is known about Insomnia, other than the fact they claim to be Dilemma. Dreams and sleep appear to be their portfolio.

Rhyme
Not much is known about Rhyme, save for the fact she exists and lives with Reason.

Reason
Main Page: Reason

A contract devil who is obsessed with knowledge. He has a massive library, which contains loads of information about the multiverse. He only allows those who give him knowledge access. However, if one "gets a library card" by making a contract and dedicating their life to gathering knowledge, they can gain full access. His pacifist, non interference nature is the result of terrible trauma in his past. His treasure is knowledge.

Mr. Real
Main Page: Mr. Real

A general threat to the residents of TTN, Mr. Real is a contract Devil that conspires to win the next Devil War for good, believing that if arms races continue he will soon be a 7D being- creatures he has a great hatred of. He carried out a search for the next "Phoenix," the prophesied weapon that in every conflict is used to escalate battle, and believed he found it in a reliable way to make Demons. However, the appearance of entities such as The Librarian and Squirt caused him to fear that another side would weaponize them as the Phoenix and the war- and therefore arms race- would continue unabated. He now conspires to capture or kill all possible weapons before they end up in other hands, so that he may wipe out all Outlaws using his Demon army and finally ensure eternal peace.

BUSINESS
BUSINESS is rather hammy and likes to shout a lot. Motives and allegiances unknown, however it is known that he's a contract Devil with mysterious connections to both The Judge and Mr. Real. It can be assumed that, as is the nature of Devils, he is playing both sides for some personal goal. He has also been noted as frustrating to work with and has skirted or broken Devil law many times.

Glamour
Glamour is a contract Devil who decided to hide from trauma of the Devil wars by living in an illusion of pre war pre ascension devil society. This Illusion is maintained by his contractee butler Decorum who tries his best to keep things running smoothly.
