User:Flashfire212/Demon Order

The  is the order created post-Demon-Celestial War in the No-Time Zone as a potential army to help the Demons take Mobius once again.

History
After the Battle of Green Hill, only two of the original five races remained in large numbers on Mobius, the Mobians themselves and the Overlanders. The Technomage population on Mobius was massacred at the orders of Rageik, although the species escaped extinction through populations in specially created universes. The final two species were the combatants of the Battle for Green Hill, the Demons and Celestials. Due to the sheer exhaustion of the ultra-powerful combatants, the Mobians held an uprising with mystic staves and other weapons, resulting in roughly 90% of both races being sealed or killed in the aftermath of the bloody battle. In order to recuperate, both races vanished from Mobius for the most part.

In the No-Time Zone, a location created by Defaran and claimed by Rageik and Mephiles the Elder as a back-up base, suddenly communities appeared as free Demons arrived, with more arriving slowly but surely. Others used different methods to avoid sealing, but possessing Mobians and escape were the two easiest. However, there was only one hundred and fifty of the hundreds of major clans who had remaining members, not to mention the minor clan members. Finally, Rageik made a rare visit to the No-Time Zone, and declared that their empire was finished until they were prepared to return to Mobius, and that the days of the Demon Order had started. Two factors were key - rearming and repopulating. As such, the entire race changed. Stable relationships opened up, in order to spread the genetic material to a wider degree, even though relationships within a clan were allowed. Those without clans were allowed to duel members of the one-fifty for a place in their clan. Each clan began to issue quests, in order to acquire items that could be used to make new weaponry, and so on. Over a few thousand years, this occurred, and so, by the Robotink Uprising, even without including the newly-freed demons, the population of demons and hybrids born since their exile had reached new heights.

Then, it was noted that Rageik, who spent vast amounts of time on Mobius, had never returned from a trip to the ARK. Inter-clan rivalries flared up, and while his wife, mistresses and children did their best to keep the peace, conflicts arose between clans. From that point, the army held itself at a steady point, peaking and falling as clans argued sporadically. even when there was two Rageik within the time-stream, one shifting between a variety of different sealed chambers, the other from the future to get his army ready for their eventual return to Mobius...

Idealogy
The entire Order is built around the idea that their species has a right to Mobius and all of it's traits, no matter who they displace while asserting their dominance. As such, the purebred Mobians and other races they employ as soldiers are viewed as being lower than scum, while even the Demon/Mobian and Demon/Celestial hybrids are viewed poorly by the purebred members.

However, within the order itself, each demon and hybrid is loyal to their own clan first, and the race second. Due to this, infighting and competing quests have become commonplace, as has minor family members fighting in "trials of position" to take a place within a clan, and all purebred demons from a bloodline fighting over a specific name, such as the Everaith Overclan and the name Kimeran, once possessed by the Lord of the Order, Rageik himself.

Clan Tactics
Of the one-hundred and fifty Demon clans, only four are known clearly to Mobian analysts, and these analysts keep all their information to themselves. The primary one of these is the first clan, the Everaiths. This group represents the Overclan, the descendants from Rageik, his wife Phantom and his brother Hades. This group is controlled within the No-Time Zone by Rageik, when he is not on Mobius or with the Trolls, at least, or otherwise by his eldest son, Kimeran. The clan itself is actually mildly restrained, and fights in an extremely tactical way - focusing their attacks on specific targets and locations rather than simply mobbing into the area. This is the clan that adopted Reaper and Anne the Power Hedgehog after Reaper was granted some of Rageik's blood.

The tenth clan, the Beezle Clan, is famed for producing one of the most devastating Demons to terrorize Mobius - Mephiles the Dark. Actually a clone of Mephiles the Elder, the original and superior fighter, Mephiles has lead the clan into a state of prosperity. However, in combat the vast majority of members follow the examples of Demons older than Mephiles, and possess a strict code of honour that has earned them heavy criticism from other clans - they refuse to attack an opponent in the back, while a downed opponent is more likely to be disabled with blows to the limbs than killed outright, as every body captured is one that can be used to further spread the gene pool within the family. This clan also possessed the disowned Demon/Troll hybrid Flab the Demonhog, and still has his half-brother Pheer the Demonhog and his twin.

The twelfth clan, the Turein Clan, is regarded as a family of oddball mystics due to the ways of the bloodline members. This clan is ruled by visions, and take an almost religious approach to technology and combat in general. In long-range combat, most of the fighters excel in marksmanship, especially those with long-range weaponry such as stolen sniper rifles. Each warrior is trained to maintain and upgrade their weapon, with no weapon handled by a Turein Clan member ever retaining it's standard profile. However, similar to the Everaiths, the Tureins are known to have interests on Mobius, although none as major as the Overclan with the underground City of Demons. This clan's leader is uncertain, although the five-hundred year old Marature is a known figure to Mobian demon hunters, despite his physical youth.

The twentieth clan, known as the Mystro Clan, is the family of Nazo. However, no member bears his direct DNA, as he converted himself into a being of Chaos Energy to evade capture. This clan is an expert in stealth and investigation, with most members unusually adept in possessing a target or fusing into the environment. In addition, almost all the clan is gifted with a natural skill in sensing and manipulating high concentrations of Chaos Energy. Due to their stealth skills, only the current clan head, Nazo, is known.

Goals
The entire Demon Order has one goal in mind - reclaiming Mobius for themselves, no matter the cost to others.
